Chapter 27

Lexa

I glanced beyond Arim, only to see everyone in the room staring at me. Crap.

"What?" I asked, feeling defensive. "Oh please. Just because everyone else in this Light-forsaken room is pregnant doesn't mean I am."

"You're pregnant?" Darius asked, his eyes so wide they looked like bright red rubies.

"Dark Lord babies, in Tanselm ?" Marcus stared down his nose at me, and I wanted to turn him into a royal popsicle.

"I'm not pregnant." I glared at the lot of them.

"I think it's great." Alandra smiled, sharing a grin with the other affai — now baby-crazy women who would probably consider even Sin Garu's child a gift.

I heard nothing more because Arim whisked me away in the next heartbeat. Blinking, I found myself in his room, a place I hadn't visited since I'd escaped several months ago — or by Tanselm time, weeks ago.

Without warning, Arim took me in his arms and kissed the breath out of me while pressing a hand to my back and another to my belly, awkwardly caging me.

After a minute, he broke the kiss and stared into my eyes, his own swirling with color, his breath raspy. "I can't tell. Damn me, but I don't feel anything unusual inside you but my Light."

"Bastard." I wanted to push him away for his high-handedness, but all my strength seemed to have left me as sexual anticipation made me weak in the knees.

"Would it be so bad, Blue? A belly full of our children?" Arim asked as he caressed my belly then cupped my breasts. "To see your nipples distended, your breasts rounded and full of milk as you suckle our babes?" I wasn't sure why, but all his talk of mothering was making me hot. "With your eyes and my temperament, of course. Light Bringers with a core of Dark Lord within them. They'll be perfect."

I groaned when he dragged kisses over the column of my neck and up my throat to my ear.

"If you're not carrying yet, maybe we need to work harder." He nipped at my earlobe and tongued the sensitive shell of my ear, driving me into instant, all-consuming lust.

"Wait," I rasped, trying to clear my hazy thoughts. "Shouldn't we be going after a blood-drinking Dark Lord?"

"Don't rush me." Arim lifted me in his arms, carried me to the nearest wall, and leaned me against it, grinding his erection against my throbbing clit. "I've almost got my Dark Lord right where I want her. Now to do away with our clothes."

I wished it before he did and shuddered at the feel of our skin pressing tight. His warmth always aroused me, but the feel of his hard cock surging inside me in one thick push was enough to bring me to instant climax.

I keened while he groaned and thrust deeper, until he could go no farther, so deep inside me we felt like one being.

"I love you so much, Blue. You saved me twice now. I think I owe you."

He controlled my movements, using his magic to move me up and down over his shaft, thrusting slowly and deeply in and out of me, stirring me all over again.

Nothing about this coupling felt normal. I was in a frenzy to have him, needing him to come hard inside me, to give me not only his seed, but his love and magic as well. " Arim ."

"Ride me, Blue. Take my Light. Let me ease you."

We moved together with pounding thrusts and accepting warmth that merged both bodies and minds. I felt so full of him. When he leaned harder against my breasts, I cried out at the sensation. Every nerve flared just for him.

"Feels good, baby. So good," Arim moaned as he thrust faster, nearing his end.

I gloried in his strength, in the touch of a powerful sorcerer commanding my body and soul. He had my heart, and he treated it with care. Unbidden, a taste of his Darkness met mine, and I writhed as energy pulsed through me with every push of his steely-hard cock.

His scent, pure Light Bringer and sexy male, made me lightheaded and so damn happy to call him mine.

Arim Valens. Killer of Shadow. Guardian of Storm. Mine.

"Come for me," he said thickly, shifting so that his pelvis brushed my clit with increased pressure.

Unable to stop myself, I came so hard, a blast of cold Dark left my pores, washing Arim in the process.

"Oh, yeah. Fuck. Lexa. " He absorbed my energy with greedy pulls.

He had yet to release, however, and waved a hand at the floor. A thick rug suddenly appeared, and we floated down to it, still joined. Without stopping, Arim bent his head, brushing my nipple with his lips.

Lightning curled through me, as if I hadn't just violently climaxed. I arched into his touch, and he took me harder. His mouth closed fully over my nipple, sucking while he pistoned inside me.

I couldn't help my orgasm while he continued in an unhurried rhythm. But it wasn't enough. I pulled at his shoulders and scratched his back. My ankles hugged his hips, and I struggled to pull him into me. "Faster. Arim, finish already. By the Night, you're driving me insane."

"Good. That's just how I like you," he chuckled, breathing hard.

When I looked into his eyes, I saw more than carnal need. He blazed with love, his eyes a rainbow of acceptance and joy. "You're mine, Blue. Say it."

I couldn't think to deny him. "I'm yours."

"You love me. Tell me you love me."

That was more difficult, yet the band of Light that passed into me — Arim's overwhelming love — made it impossible to resist. "I love you. I've always loved you." His smile was blinding, and I knew he'd be impossible to deal with after this. "You jerk."

His boisterous laugh tapered off when I squeezed him inside me and shot a jolt of Dark through his cock. He groaned and finally quickened his pace. Arim loved me with swift, powerful strokes.

This time when I came, he was right with me.

"Blue," he shouted as he pumped, jetting into me with magic and a love so pure it washed over us both.

I could only ride it out with him, astounded at the sudden welling of energy pouring into us from the ground, the air, the energy of life all around us.

Arim continued to come, his orgasm literally magical.

"Light and Dark, Blue, but that was incredible," he panted as he finally caught his breath. He lay over me, his forehead beaded with sweat. He kissed me again. "You make me so hard, so fast. The thought of you carrying my child…" His eyes flashed. "Let's just say I wouldn't mind."

I smiled, too relaxed to worry about motherhood, loving Arim inside me. I couldn't help my pleasure at feeling his seed running down my thighs. He'd made a thorough claiming, marking me with his scent and magic.

And like that, I wanted him again.

"Arim," I groaned. "How is it I want you again when I'm too weak to lift my head?"

He chuckled. "That would be your masterful Light Bringer's seductive powers, my sweet." I punched him in the arm, and he nuzzled my neck. "Ah, Blue, I don't want to ever leave you. But it seems I'll have to."

"Don't even try it. You don't know what happened when I brought you back. You can't take Sin Garu down, not without me."

"I won't risk you." Arim kissed my cheek. "We both know what he really wants. For me to suffer. And the surest way of doing that is to harm you. Maybe if I distract him long enough, Sava can work some Shadow magic and take him out."

"Bullshit. Sava's great, but he can't take on a Dark Lord who's as crazed and powerful as Sin Garu. It's not just Dark energy he'll be fighting. It's demons too." Though Sava has spent some time in the Pit. What might he know?

"What if you're pregnant, Blue? Would you risk our children in this fight?"

I paused. There was nothing motherly about me. Yet…I curled a hand protectively over my stomach.

"That's what I thought." Arim's smug tone put my back up.

"Now hold on. If I am, by some otherworldly means, pregnant already, after just a few times with you —"

"It only takes once, especially with the Guardian of Storm." He arrogantly arched a brow.

I refused to laugh. "Then my children won't ever be safe until Sin Garu is dead. The only way to do that is to combine our powers. We're stronger together. Our energy builds off each other instead of attacking and degrading our opposing magics. It's always been that way."

"I know." Arim's cockiness faded. "But I can't put you in harm's way."

"You had no problem battling me a few months ago."

He frowned. "That was different. I thought you were… Ah, not quite on our side. Even then, I would never have let you come to actual harm. I'm not saying I didn't want to seriously spank your ass. When we fought Sin Garu, it practically killed me to let him touch you. I was barely in time to save you after you took that demon blast meant for me."

"Which reminds me. What the hell were you thinking to give me so much energy?" I slapped his arm.

"What?"

"You gave me too much of yourself the last time we were together. I thought I felt something, but I chalked it up to Tanselm welcoming me back. That's part of why you were fading so fast after you passed out over Ravyn. The stress, Tanselm's faltering magic, and your generous gift nearly did you in."

He looked uncomfortable. "I saw you hurting and wanted to help. Why is that a problem?" Arim's discomfort faded under a dark scowl. "And why the hell didn't you tell me the demons ripped away part of your soul? Your soul , Blue. You should have come to me right away for help."

I rolled my eyes. "Please. All you needed was an excuse to have me under your thumb."

"You're damn right." Arim tilted his hips and slid deeper inside me, his rising erection a carnal promise for more. He started thrusting harder, in and out. And it felt so good. "We're eventually going to have to find Sava. We need a plan to separate Sin Garu from his wraiths and finish him for good."

"Yeah," I breathed, unable to do more than feel him inside me. Tanselm, bless her, echoed the sentiment, sending bursts of ragged power through Arim into me, power the land could ill-afford to lose but power the land gave, regardless. I knew we'd need every bit to aid us against our enemy. "We'll find him. But after, okay?"

Arim groaned his assent. Our passion spiraled out of control, as intense as our previous lovemaking. Hearts and souls mired together, the cautious voice in my mind gone as if it had never been. Unspoken love flowed freely between Light Bringer and Dark Lord, and I knew true happiness.

In the aftermath of our sexual interlude, when I came back into myself, I swore I felt the first stirrings of something foreign in my belly.

Something that felt suspiciously like new life.
