Tor,” she demanded. “Fuck me again. I want your cock inside me now.”
Without waiting for him to move, Deveney shifted, wrapped her legs around his waist and plunged him in deep. Tor groaned. She may be an Earth woman, but she acted like a Morphionian woman in heat. This was bad.
He refused to believe their chakras had possibly united. It didn’t matter he sensed the strength of her magic through each touch. And the fact the amulet around her neck glowed bright with the force of their combined energies as she commandeered his cock scared him, thrilled him and made him want her even more. But that too didn’t matter. Not to Tor. He couldn’t let it, no, wouldn’t let it. She belonged in her world.
Guilt riddled his conscience. She claimed she wanted to return to Earth and here he’d taken the most precious part of her for himself. Pure stubbornness rose to the surface as the demands of his position warred with his personal desires. He wanted Deveney but refused to accept the obvious. Maybe Maven was right and mates could be located outside of Eximius Mundus. No! Bloodlines must be kept pure for the magic to survive. Again, the words of his father echoed inside his head, causing an unwanted sharp pain behind his right eye. Tor steeled his resolve.
By the Goddess Nirvana, Deveney needed to go back. Even if it killed him, Tor decided as he surrendered to her sexual demands.
Chapter Five
Deveney stood at the edge of a meadow. Tall grass and wildflowers stretched from one side to the other. Scattered berry bushes grew in clumps here and there. In the center, a family of large golden bears grazed, feasting on the berries. No fear filled her. Strange, she mused. Wild animals meandered within a few yards of her and she wasn’t scared out of her wits. Instead, curiosity urged her from the shelter of the trees surrounding the meadow.
Her gaze darted from the bears to the ground, searching for a clear path. If she stepped on a twig or tripped, she knew the bears would be alerted to her presence. One foot in front of the other, she worked her way closer, careful to stay downwind, out of their line of sight and soundless. She didn’t want to startle them. They were the most beautiful wild creatures she’d ever seen. Why was she here alone with them?
And where was here? Deveney glanced around but didn’t recognize her surroundings. Wooded areas weren’t a common place for her. No houses, no people, just a gathering of golden bears.
A huge golden bear lifted its head from its meal and stared in her direction. Deveney ducked, hoping the tall grass shielded her enough. It didn’t. The massive animal’s movements were the personification of lumbering grace. The breath stilled in her chest as she froze in place, watching it wind its way toward her.
Her eyes widened when it stopped two feet in front of her and sat. The wild creature towered above her and outweighed her by at least a few hundred pounds. Thump, thump, thump went her heart. Her breathing increased, but she didn’t move, nor dare blink.
What did it want? Why didn’t it attack?
Inch by inch it nuzzled its face through the tall grass toward her. Bright-blue eyes met her gaze when it leveled its snout with her chin. Intent on not showing fear, she held its stare and hoped the action wouldn’t get her killed. Moist heat coated her cheeks when it exhaled. Somehow, she managed not to blink. The more she stared into those eyes, the more she sensed she knew this wild creature.
But how?
A crash startled her and Deveney bolted upright, tangled in the bed blankets. Air rushed her lungs on a heavy inhale. Tears stung her eyes as she forced her eyelids to open. It was a dream, she realized as she blinked repeatedly to focus. Every muscle ached, especially her lower abs and the insides of her thighs. What had she done? Where was she?
When the lingering fog of sleep lifted, her thoughts slowly unscrambled.
Mirror.
Maven.
Tor.
Oh god. Tor. Glancing around,
