Chapter 35

Taylor

Three weeks later

“Thank you for bringing me here.” I told Brexl for the third time. Tonight the big moon would be full again and I wanted another chance to get our luminescence right.

I introduced Brexl to the concept of a honeymoon and he suggested we go to his full-moon cave to get away from everyone and to celebrate our mating like we would on a honeymoon.

I had immediately said yes and now we were here, already naked in the furs, just waiting to glow for each other once again.

We’d gotten the hang of mating while Brexl was in his shifted form. In fact, he preferred to shift while inside me right before he came so he could knot in me as often as possible.

I didn’t think there was anything he liked more than being locked together like that. There was nothing I liked more, either.

We laid on the furs with our fingers intertwined.

“You already thanked me for that,” he smiled.

“I know, I’m just really happy to be here with you, that we get to try this again and do it right this time.”

He gave me a quizzical look. “We didn’t do it wrong last time. Neither of us were ready before.” He kissed the back of my hand and even that small gesture sent warmth pooling in my sex. “I am happy that we are mated now, though. I plan on spending the entire night inside you to make up for the agony I experienced last time.”

I threw back my head in a laugh. “That sounds good to me.”

My breath hitched as Brexl’s fingers were suddenly covered in bone plating and our joined hands started to glow.

I looked up to find my mate fully shifted and shining a bright neon purple. His eyes roved my body, drinking in the sight of me as if he were seeing me for the first time all over again.

“So beautiful.” He carefully tucked my hair behind my ear and traced the curve of my ear with his finger.

The urge to mate was somehow more powerful this time than before. I could already feel the wetness between my legs and the throbbing of my clit.

“Brexl,” I breathed.

“I’ve got you, my mate. I know exactly what you need.”

He pulled me against him so my back was to his chest.

“Drape your leg over mine,” he requested, and I did.

He slid his hand down to my sex and pulled his fingers away, glistening with my moisture.

“So wet already.” There was a hint of smug approval in his voice, and I loved it. My mate had come such a long way from believing he was not worthy of being touched to experiencing the smug satisfaction of knowing how wet he made me.

It had been a gift to witness his transformation, one I’d cherish for the rest of my life.

He angled his body towards mine and I sighed with sweet relief as I felt him press his cock into my entrance.

I rested my head on the furs and he slipped his hand back to my sex and circled my clit.

“This is much better than our first luminescence,” I panted. It was amazing how close I already felt to coming. This luminescence business was no joke.

“You mean when I thought you saw me as a monster, and you feared a relationship might change you?”

“Yes,” I laughed.

“I agree,” Brexl said as he thrust into me. “This is much better.”

He brought his other hand up to my breast and started to expertly work my nipples between his fingers.

Each thrust brought me closer to my climax. Every whispered word of how much Brexl loved me, enjoyed my scent, and found me beautiful sent me closer to the edge.

“I love you, Taylor. My luminescence, my mate.”

With one final thrust we came together with the light of the full moon illuminating our bodies. Then his knot swelled inside me. Brexl held me close as we remained locked together.
