The firelight cast dancing shadows across his face as he watched me, his green eyes dark with possession and love. I could feel myself climbing again, my body responding to his with an eagerness that would have embarrassed me once but, now felt like the most natural thing in the world.

"Come apart for me, Lili," Miles commanded softly, his thumb finding that sensitive bundle of nerves between us.

The added stimulation was my undoing. I cried out, my body arching off the blanket as pleasure crashed through me like a tidal wave.

My vision blurred at the edges, stars dancing behind my closed eyelids as I trembled beneath him.

"Perfect," Miles breathed, his movements becoming more erratic as he watched me fall apart. "One more, sweetheart. I need you to give me one more."

I whimpered, not sure I could survive another climax of that intensity, but my body was already responding to his continued thrusts. The knot was fully swollen now, catching and releasing with each movement, creating a rhythm that had me gasping for air.

Miles shifted again, as he repositioned me. He pulled me up so I was straddling his lap, my back against his chest as he moved beneath me. This new position had him even deeper, his arms wrapped around me as one hand splayed across my stomach while the other found my breast.

"Feel that?" he murmured against my ear, guiding my hand to where we were joined. "Feel how perfectly we fit together."

I gasped as my fingers encountered the place where his knot stretched me, the sensation sending new waves of pleasure through my already oversensitive body. The intimacy of feeling our connection this way was overwhelming, tears pricking at the corners of my eyes from the intensity.

"Miles," I breathed, my head falling back against his shoulder as he continued to move beneath me, his rhythm steady and relentless. His lips found my neck, teeth grazing the sensitive skin where my pulse raced.

"One more," he urged, his voice rough against my ear.

“You can give me one more my Lili" His hand moved from my stomach to between my thighs, circling that bundle of nerves with practiced precision as his thrusts became more urgent.

The dual sensations—his fingers working magic between my legs while his shaft filled me completely—pushed me toward that final peak.

My body tensed, hovering on the precipice as pleasure built to an almost unbearable level.

"That's it," Miles encouraged, his voice strained with his own approaching release. "Let go for me one last time."

When the climax hit, it was like nothing I'd experienced before—a supernova of sensation that radiated from my core to the very tips of my fingers and toes. I cried out Miles's name into the night, my body convulsing around him as waves of ecstasy washed through me.

My release triggered his own. With a primal growl against my neck, Miles thrust upward one final time, his knot locking us together as he pulsed inside me.

His arms tightened around me, holding me securely against his chest as we rode out our shared pleasure together.

The intensity of the moment overwhelmed me, tears spilling down my cheeks as I trembled in his embrace.

"Shh, I've got you," Miles murmured, his lips gentle against my temple as he cradled me in his arms. "I've got you, Lili."

We remained connected, his knot tying us together as our breathing gradually slowed.

The firelight danced across our skin, the only witness to our joining besides the stars that twinkled overhead.

Miles shifted us carefully to our sides, keeping me close as we lay on the blanket, his body curled protectively around mine.

"Are you okay?" he asked softly, his fingers tracing gentle patterns along my arm.

I nodded, too overwhelmed for words but instead a low purr escaping my lips, causing me to startle when I heard the noise.

Miles chuckled softly, his lips pressing against my shoulder. "That's the most beautiful sound I've ever heard," he murmured, his arms tightening around me. "Your omega purr."

I felt heat rise to my cheeks, embarrassment mingling with the lingering pleasure still coursing through my body. "I didn't know I could do that," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.

"It means you feel safe," Miles explained, his fingers tracing lazy patterns along my skin.

"Completely content. It's rare for omegas to purr these days—most are too guarded, too stressed.

" His hand moved to stroke my hair, the gesture soothing and reverent.

"The fact that you feel secure enough to let go like that.

.. it's the greatest gift you could give me. "

I turned in his arms, careful of our still-joined bodies, to face him fully. The firelight cast his features in warm gold, highlighting the tender expression in his green eyes as he looked down at me.

"I love you," I whispered, my hand coming up to cup his cheek. "I love you. I love Christopher…Julian, Nicolaus….I love all you so much it scares me sometimes."

His eyes softened as he pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead.

"I know, sweetheart. I can see it in the way you look at us, the way you've opened your heart despite everything you've been through.

" His fingers traced the curve of my cheek with such tenderness it made my chest ache.

"And we all love you—completely, wholly, with everything we are. "

"Even though it's complicated?" I asked, my voice small in the darkness. “With my parents and…”

Miles cut me off, "When has anything worth having ever been simple?" His knot had begun to ease, allowing him to shift us into a more comfortable position while still keeping me close. "Besides, whatever they throw at us we can throw back at them three times as bad.”

I nestled against him, breathing in his scent as I gave a nod in understanding, my body going limp as my worries washed away and sleep overcame me.
