I smile as I sit back in the seat. Some people might not like their partners in their heads, but this isn’t just a marriage; we’re mates. I want him all over every part of me and I love that he can slip into my mind. Most of the time he can figure what I need or want before I can myself, but most of all he calms me.
I slide my hand into his and I try and do the same for him. “Don’t.” He gives me a stern look. He’s warning me but I don’t know why. He doesn’t want me using my powers to calm him because it can be draining. But it’s never that way with him.
He lifts my hand, brings it to his mouth and gives it a kiss. “I should have asked you to stop and get my treats, but then we wouldn’t have makeup sex,” I say as I pull my dress up. “I know what you’re thinking.”
He’s thinking of every way he can mark me because he doesn’t like the other man looking at me. He knows I don’t notice them, but mates can be extra possessive. I spread my legs, showing my thighs to him.
“They’ve already faded.” I run my fingers over where he bit me this morning while he licked my pussy. He presses down on the gas and I fight a smile knowing I’m going to enjoy feeling his teeth sink into me again. I no longer care about a stroller or treats because all I want is my mate.
Epilogue
Grim
Five years later…
“Do vampires not normally take vacations?” I ask as I look over to my treasure laid out on the beach with just her bathing suit bottoms on.
“I guess I never thought about it before.” She rolls over on her belly and pretends to think it over before she winks at me. “I mean, what would we vacation from? It’s not like we really do any work.”
“My job is to make sure you don’t lift a finger,” I say, leaning over and placing a kiss on her shoulder.
I bought the private island right after we got married to use as an escape if we ever needed to be alone from the family. It’s not that we don’t love our time together, but it does us good to get away. It’s also the place where we conceived our daughter and I’m hoping for the same luck this time around.
I trace my finger down her bare back and tug at the strings holding the small triangle over her pussy in place. It’s barely enough to call a bathing suit, and when I asked her why she didn’t go completely nude on our beach she said she was afraid to get sand in her ass.
We’re completely alone for hundreds of miles and the only thing I want her focused on is her pleasure. Of course we check in with the kids throughout the day because we miss them, but she knows she has to recharge or else she’s going to try and run on empty. It works better for her abilities if she’s rested and can feel everything around her without becoming tired.
She wiggles her ass, and I growl as I move closer. “Are you trying to tease me?”
“How could I even begin to do that?” She rolls over and her bare breasts are before me.
I kiss my way down to them before teasing one and then the other. I push them together and then rub my face against them, getting their scent all over me. She smells like sunshine and coconuts and I ache to have her again.
“I know you brought me to the island again just to get me pregnant.” She hums her pleasure as I kiss my way to her stomach. “You can try and hide your thoughts from me, but I know you inside and out, Grim.”
Her nails score my back and I groan at how good it feels.
“Are you going to admit it?”
“Why would I try and deny wanting you to get pregnant again?” I smile and move lower to tear her bathing suit bottoms off of her.
“Why keep it a secret?” she challenges, spreading her legs.
“Because I know your mind, Ariella. If there was something that I wanted, you would do everything in your power to give it to me.”
“Of course I would, and you would do the same.”
“I don’t want you to do something for me just because I want it. Yes, I want another baby with you, but I will always want more children. I was hoping that if it happened on this trip then it would be another blessing to us. But if it didn’t then our life is still more than I ever dared to hope for.”
“You’re too perfect, Grim. You know that, right?”
