Something like a groan rumbled in his chest.
“I love you too,” he said on an exhale, and my heart expanded in my chest. He kissed me, hungry and fast, before pulling back. “I love your heart, your mind, your soul. I love every piece of you, Grace. I’ve lived almost a thousand years, and you’re the best thing that has ever happened to me.”
Another tear slipped free, but Ajax swiped it away before claiming my mouth in a carnal kiss that awakened every inch of my soul. His tongue swept into my mouth, demanding and giving, stroking me until I was trembling against him.
With uncanny speed, he spun us, shifting so I was straddling him as he sat on the bench. I broke our kiss, gasping as he slid his hands beneath my shirt, cupping my breasts and pinching my nipples until they were pert for him.
I rocked against him, his hard length hot beneath my leggings.
Ajax reclaimed my mouth, the kiss a tangle of tongues and teeth, only breaking to shed clothes. I’d barely taken my leggings off before he settled me atop him again, his cock sliding through my already slick heat.
“Fuck, Grace,” he said, hissing against the sensation. “You’re so wet for me already.”
“I always need you,” I said, rocking over him before I shimmied off his lap, dropping to my knees and taking him into my mouth so fast he jolted, his hips thrusting him deeper inside.
“Fuck,” he said again as I bobbed up and down, swirling my tongue over the head of his cock, licking the precome that beaded there. He groaned, arching back against the bench as I sucked him, and heat sparked along the edges of my skin at the power I felt. The intensity of making a vampire like him writhe with pleasure.
I loved him.
I loved him so much it fucking hurt.
And he needed to see that, know that, feel that.
“Grace,” he growled, gently lifting me after a moment. He sprang free of my mouth, the motion jarring me as he pulled me back into his lap. “I love you,” he said the words again, the same warm sensation spreading in my chest with the declaration.
“I love you,” I said right back, claiming his mouth in the way I’d claimed his cock seconds ago.
He moaned, his powerful hands gripping my hips as he rocked me over his slick cock, the sensation making me tremble as warm shivers danced up my spine. A white-hot knot tightened in my core, the ache pulsing with need.
“Ajax,” I begged against his mouth.
“I know, mate.” He held me poised and aching above him before thrusting inside me.
I whimpered from the delicious sting, my nails digging into his shoulders as I adjusted to the size of him. Ajax broke our kiss, working his way over my collarbone and down over my breasts.
“Take whatever you need from me,” he said, and I didn’t hesitate.
I rolled my hips, over and over again, riding him with an intensity that matched my need. It was like I was trying to outrun death, using our love for each other as a bridge to a future that I knew didn’t exist.
“Goddamn, Grace,” he said beneath me, gliding his hands up my bare back. “You’re a fucking goddess. A vision. Look at you.”
I glanced down to where our bodies were joined, to where I rode him and gripped him, the sounds of our joining filling the quiet peace of the night. I met his gaze, smiling wild and unhindered as I continued to move on him. Continued to squeeze him, demanding every ounce of his pleasure and taking plenty for myself too.
His fangs distended, and I throbbed with a hunger I knew he felt. But I knew he wouldn’t bite me, not tonight. So, I leaned down, kissing him too quick for him to guard against it, just nicking the thin skin of my bottom lip against his fang, a drop of blood welling there.
“Dangerous little mate,” he growled, but sucked my bottom lip into his mouth, groaning at the taste of my blood.
“Yours,” I said. “I’m all yours. My heart, my blood, my soul.”
Ajax kissed me harder, stealing the words from my tongue as I continued to rock above him. God, he felt good inside me. All heat and strength and power.
I threw my head back as I found that edge and rode it as long as I could, wanting to stretch this moment out into a thousand forevers.
The night-blooming flowers rustled behind him with a gentle breeze and when I arched my body back, Ajax supporting me as I rode him from a better angle, I saw stars. An infinite sea of stars sparkled in the midnight sky above us, hinting that we were the only two beings in the world.
“Come with me,” I begged, feeling him harden another degree inside me. “Please, Ajax. I need you to.”
