CHAPTER 12

HE MEANS IT

HOPE

All along, I thought of the essence exchange between Sammael and me as some kind of cheat code. Like it’s a download where he plugged everything about himself into me, and I did the same for him.

I’m only twenty-eight and I haven’t lived what you would call an overly exciting life. It’s no surprise that he finds it a lot easier to absorb and digest details about mine. Sammael, I’ve learned, isn’t just a mage. He’s also a solider who spent close to eight centuries—eight centuries—serving under the ruler of his world.

He’s seen a lot of shit during that time. Done a lot, too. Since I’m the only mate he’ll ever have, my experience in bed seems like the only thing I have on him. Luckily, that doesn’t seem to bother him. He understands that humans don’t have a fated mate like Sombra demons do. We can be one, and now that I’ve bonded myself to him, he’s going to be it for me forever—the bond finalizing between us will make it that way, plus that little gift of immortality I got when I fucked him—but we both have a past.

It’s just… different ones.

But that’s my point. I’m not even thirty and my new mate is over nine hundred years old. To an immortal demon, the years don’t really matter. So long as we’re both ‘mature’, he thinks that we’re of a similar age. Maybe we are, but that doesn’t change the fact that he has thirty times the years I’ve seen—and more than thirty times the experiences I’ve had, either.

He gave me his essence right before he asked me to be his forever mate. It took me a few seconds to process that and use my overall reaction to him basically being downloaded into my mind to decide that, if Fate was willing to give me a devoted guy who loved me so much, he found me in another world and followed me into my dreams, she can’t be wrong.

So far, I’m pretty solid on my decision. There’s no take-backs or anything, so it’s a good thing that I wake up the next morning without any regrets so far…

In fact, I feel pretty freaking good. Sammael has me tucked against his naked body, keeping me warm and cozy, his thick black hair mingling with my much shorter bob as I use the strands as a cushion against my pillow.

My hand is sprawled out on his chest. I’d fallen asleep lying there after my last orgasm, too dozed and sated to even get up and clean myself up. I tried, but Sammael nuzzled my neck, his shadowy claws gripping my waist gently as though afraid I was going to leave him once we both finished.

Clinging to me, such love and affection and gratitude rushing down our finalized bond, hitting me in my heart… I couldn’t find it in me to disentangle my body from his. Murmuring my name in his husky voice, I let him talk me into staying right where I was.
