how to keep her hanging on the rope of ecstasy.
    She raised her head caught their reflection in the dresser mirror. His long dark hair, strong jaw, and aquiline nose paired with those wicked eyes reminded her of the brave warriors of centuries ago. He met her gaze. Held it. His perfect ass clenched as he rammed between her cheeks again and again. It was her undoing. Her body convulsed as she erupted, drawing him deep. Her pussy clenched and flooded. Weightless, she let nirvana carry her to another realm.
    Shane groaned . His hips locked. He let go, pulsing deep. "Sweet Chey." He held her until his spasms ceased. Both collapsed in a heap, glistening in sweat.

    After dinner, Shane tugged her outside where they both transformed instantly. As she transformed into the gentle creature, he realized he needed to bond with her beyond sex. With a high-pitched screech, he soared toward the marsh and woods.
    With every few beats of his wings, he circled to make sure she followed. He easily spotted her white coat with his night vision. Her lofty gaze held his heart. She believed in him. It resonated deep in his breast.
    H e landed on a low tree branch and waited. Chey approached, and he dropped to ground, returning to human form. An instant, later she stood beside him, staring up at their abandoned tree house.
    " It's still here." She rubbed her arms against the cold and climbed the ladder.
    Shane followed, still turned on by her nakedness.
    Inside, she found a familiar quilt. "You planned this," she said, sounding surprised.
    Nodding, he sat and drew her onto his lap. "I want to consummate our love here. Where we fell in love." His mouth went dry at his trite sounding confession until her dark eyes filled with joy.
    Tenderly she stroked his face . "Shane." His name spread like a whisper. Her lips brushed his and wandered to his cheek. Chill bumps coated his arms as she pebbled his neck with kisses.
    He cradled her lithe body a s he rolled to his side and brought her beneath him. His palms began to sweat as they did when he was a teen.
    He remembered her leading him to the tree house that last fateful day. How she had peeled off her T-shirt. He'd fumbled unhooking her lacy bra. The sight of her beautiful breasts nearly took his breath until he latched onto a dark nipple. He almost came as he sucked her luscious tit.
    His fingers slipped down her barely there shorts and found her wet and ready. He dipped his head to taste. They satisfied one another orally as usual, but this time Chey drew a condom from her pocket.
    He had burned to take her, but held back. He'd feared she'd get pregnant. In truth he, dreaded giving her a child like him. She started to cry and told him she was moving to Florida and begged him to make love to her.
    After she 'd left he blamed her. Lying to himself was easier than accepting the truth. It kept his heart from fracturing completely.
    " I was afraid, Chey. Afraid for you to take my seed, that you might conceive a child like me."
    " And now?" she asked.
    " I'd be there for you both."
    H er smooth legs wrapped around his waist and guide him home, where he always wanted to be. He read the love in her eyes and held her tightly. Warm and inviting, her body welcomed him, loving him like no other woman had.
    He trembled as her hands swept across his back. Her hips arched under him as he melded them into one. Slow and gentle. A tightness claimed his chest. His mate. He would protect her no matter what.
