And he tasted that devotion in each press of her mouth, each sweep of her tongue. She was minty fresh, nibbling at him until he panted her name, overcome with the sheer joy. The lights cascaded over them, seeming to catch the urgency he felt so that the strobes increased along with his excitement. Her skin gleamed blue, then green, then silver, glazing her face with ethereal enchantment.

“You’re so beautiful,” he whispered.

“How do you want me?”

“Forever,” he said promptly.

“It makes me so happy to hear that. Not what I meant, though.”

“I want what you want, anything at all.”

In the end, it didn’t matter the position. They came together in a desperate tangle of arms and legs, kissing and rolling across the bed until he pushed inside her and she wrapped herself around him as the lights flashed faster and brighter, adding to the liquid pleasure sparkling through him. He’d never felt so close to anyone in his life. Trev thrust hard and fast, and then she pushed him back, riding in delicious bounces, her hands holding his.

She came first, gasping and moaning until it drove him over as well. “I love you.”

Trev said it back as he came down, cuddling her to him. Leanne stroked him until the shivers stopped. So good, fucking good. With her, it always was, even when they were strangers.

For the first time, maybe in his whole life, he felt perfectly certain that everything would work out precisely as it should.

Chapter 30

“I can’t believe I ever thought this was a good idea,” Leanne said, walking the floor with their daughter.

Not only was this the longest relationship she’d ever been in, but she’d given birth three months prior. They’d talked about it for a couple of months before deciding to give parenthood a try. She hadn’t expected to get pregnant the first time she opened herself to the possibility, but it happened so fast that it seemed ordained by fate.

If she believed in that.

And honestly, she didn’t. Everything she had was because of her own choices. She’d managed to balance pregnancy with her seat on the city council while debating how to manage the worldwide reveal with the witch’s council. Trevor’s business had taken off in a big fashion, going a long way toward mending his shattered self-esteem. Therapy sessions helped as well.
