in his strong arms, making her endure the erotic pleasure. He whispered words of passion, seduced her with feeling. Tears trickled down her cheeks as she clung to him, wrapped her legs around his pumping hips to draw him closer. Their thoughts tangled together in each other’s minds like interwoven threads.
When you’re inside me like this, I feel like I’m dancing on air.
Open your eyes, Mara .
She did. Mara gasped and dug her nails into his muscled shoulders. The bed was far below them. They were floating in midair.
“Lucien, put us down!”
He gave a delighted chuckle. “It’s not my doing, sweet. It’s all you.”
“Oh!”
They began falling fast and suddenly slowed, as Lucien seized control and gently placed them on the mattress once more. He gave her a tender smile, smoothing back her dampened hair.
“I see I’ll have to teach you more lessons, this time in controlling your new powers.”
“Maybe it wasn’t your vamp powers. Maybe it was my angel wings.”
“Or your other side. You bring out the devil in me,” he teased.
Mara smiled, touching his face. “It’s funny. All I wanted for so long was to be ordinary. And now I’m anything but.”
Lucien pressed a kiss to the corner of her mouth. “You were never ordinary to me.”
Mara touched him, enjoying the feel of his damp, smooth skin, the powerful muscles working. Marveling everything about him, but most of all, how he made her feel so valued, so cherished, so….
Special.
They made love long into the night, touching and tasting each other until, limp and spent, they fell back onto the mattress. Snuggled in his arms, her leg entangled with Lucien’s, Mara gazed at the waning moonlight.
Lucien had set her free from the demon in her soul, and ensnared her in a fiery passion. The torment of her past had blown away like a billowing storm. Only the bright future shone ahead for them both, secure in their shared promises of love. Mara realized she was finally safe in his arms.
And there she would remain.
