Unable to speak, I enter her mind and force my way through her until I find her soul.
I engulf her entire being until there’s nothing between us and let out a groan from how good it feels to be one with her again.
Blindly, my mouth finds hers, and the kiss is filled with overpowering love and need.
“Never again,” I growl as I climb to my feet and carry her to the bedroom.
She nods as she desperately kisses me back, and once we’re in the bedroom, I let her stand on her feet so I can hurriedly strip her of her clothes.
We move with desperation, and when we fall onto the bed, the need to be inside her has my cock entering her with a single hard thrust.
The moment I feel her discomfort, I take it from her, and my body starts to move, the pace feverish and rough.
A light begins to shine between us, and I can sense the moment Alchera’s able to hear my thoughts and feel what I feel.
The kiss is out of control and wild, my hips moving fast and hard.
Completely connected, our souls and bodies fused as one, I say, “Without you, there’s no me.”
“I’ll never risk us again,” she promises, her nails digging into my back as I keep hammering into her. “Us. Forever.”
I rest my forearms on either side of her, framing her face with my hands as I continue to make love to her with an intense need only she can satisfy.
My mouth devours hers, and I get drunk on the taste of my woman, the pleasure too powerful to fully process as it seizes our bodies.
Even though my pace slows down as our orgasms tear through us, I can’t stop thrusting inside her.
Our kisses turn from wild to deep and soulful, and as day turns to night, I can’t bring myself to stop loving her for a single second.
I have no idea how much time has passed when Alchera breaks the kiss to breathlessly say, “We need to get up.”
“No,” I mutter, pressing kisses to her jaw and down her throat.
“I’m thirsty,” she complains before chuckling.
Letting out a playful growl, I pull out of her before I climb off the bed.
While I walk to the kitchen, I hear the water start to run in the shower, and it feels so damn good to hear Alchera moving around in my house.
I quickly fill a glass of water for Alchera and find her where she’s holding her hand beneath the spray in the shower, checking the temperature.
“Here you go,” I say, handing the glass to her.
While she downs the cool liquid, I step into the shower and grab the soap. I work it until my hands are covered in suds, and once Alchera joins me, I begin to wash her body.
She also rubs the soap in her hands before her palms brush over my shoulders.
When our eyes lock, I say, “If we’re ever faced with a life-threatening situation again, don’t break our bond. Promise me that we’ll live and die together. The pain of losing you is too unbearable and the worst torture I can be subjected to.”
She presses a kiss to my left peck, then nods. “I promise.”
I wrap my arms around her, holding her tightly to my chest where the echo of loss still ghosts through my heart. I don’t think it will ever completely fade.
The blow I was dealt left a scar on my soul, and it will always serve as a reminder of how important Alchera is to me.
Chapter 34
Alchera
I’m sitting on a chair with a blanket wrapped around me while watching Raighne work in the kitchen. He has sweet potatoes on the coals and is busy frying strips of steaks, carrots, and zucchini.
A delicious aroma fills the air, and as my stomach grumbles, I say, “I never learned how to cook.”
“I’ll teach you,” he murmurs while checking on the sweet potatoes.
I glance out the window next to the front door, but it’s dark, and I can’t see much.
The memory of what happened before the asteroid hit Earth shudders through me, and I whisper, “Thana and Phoenix are dead.”
“I saw,” he says, his tone tight with sorrow. “Thank you for being there for my brother in his last moment.”
I swallow hard, and silence falls between us as I struggle to keep the memories of the past few months at bay.
The five years I spent on Earth make up most of my childhood memories.
Molly’s gone.
The Calders. Everyone at school. The whole town.
I suck in a quivering breath, then feel Raighne’s warmth as he eases the heartache before it can bleed through my chest.
Earth was all I knew, and now that it’s gone, I don’t know if I’ll be able to adapt to this new life.
“You will,” Raighne replies to my thoughts. “It will just take some time.”
