Chapter 9

Marcus eyed me intently as we lay naked on our bed. “You must have questions.”

That was an understatement. Theophanes and the ritual training had left me shaky. “When Theophanes was inside me, I fantasized it was you and it felt so real. But what was going through your mind as he…you know?” I looked down, unable to meet his eyes.

“If he had been unsheathed or not performing a proper training for ritual, I would never had let it happen.”

“But what about when the ritual is real with Boreas? How will you feel then?”

He crawled on top of me, holding my hands above my head. “I am not jealous of Boreas if that is what you mean.”

That was hard to believe and it stung that he wouldn’t be. I wriggled and the faintest smile appeared on his lips. “Why not?”

“He is God and you are a submissive. Your union is sacred. It is my job to facilitate that union and perform the Goddess rituals.”

I struggled with my Dom’s sense of right and wrong, but he was consistent. There were rules and he was going to follow them. Though Marcus was obviously in a playful mood, I still had questions. One in particular kept gnawing at me. “You said before that you exist only to love me.”

“I do.”

“But we hardly know each other.”

“I disagree. I think we know each other quite well.”

“Theophanes said that to endure the Goddess ritual I had to focus on your love for me.”

“Yes.”

“But do you…do you love me yet?”

“Yet?” He released my hands and stared at me like I had two heads. “Are you joking? I have loved you from the moment I first saw you. I knew then you were mine.”

Shocked, my mouth dropped open.

“That surprises you?”

“Yes, on Earth, love usually takes longer than that. People have to be with each other for a while before they even say it.”

“That’s very sad.”

“You have never actually said it, that you loved me.”

Now it was his turn to be taken aback. He squeezed his eyes shut and sighed. “I thought you knew.”

I shook my head. “I don’t know what to think. This is all so overwhelming.”

Marcus took my hands in his and peered deep into my eyes. “Claire Alexis, I love you. I knew it from the moment I saw you and I will spend the rest of my life showing you how much.”

A knot formed in my throat as tears sprung from my eyes. In that moment, I knew I felt the same way. I let out a nervous laugh. “And I love you, Marcus Alexis, with my entire being. With you I can bear anything. You protect me and love me, and it means everything. I hope you I can show you my love every day from this day forward.”

His eyes glistened, filled with emotion. This beautiful man, dominant as hell and sensitive to a fault, was touched that I loved him as much as he loved me.

As he pressed tender kisses on my neck, I knew he would take his time with me tonight.
