“THAT WAS AMAZING.” SHAYLEE’S whisper is filled with awe and I can feel the expansion in my chest, pride at knowing I satisfied my woman.

“You’re amazing.”

A beautiful shade of pink tinges her cheeks and the pressure in my chest morphs into something soft and warm. I climb off the bed and pad over to the bathroom, to get a warm, wet washcloth to clean her up. It took everything in me not to explode inside her, filling her with the evidence that she is completely mine. As I wipe down her belly, I marvel at the fact that I’m her only one. Her body will only ever be filled by me, stretched by me, loved by me. A picture flashes in my mind of this same belly, round and expanding. I expect the thought of getting Shaylee pregnant to freak me the fuck out, but instead, the idea takes root and I know that eventually, someday, I’m going to watch her grow with our baby. For now though, we are all each other needs.

I toss the rag into the hamper by the closet, and sit on the edge of the bed to plug my phone into the charger. My back is to Shaylee and I feel her fingers begin tracing along my neck.

“Aden, what’s this?”

“My mark?” It dawns on me then that I forgot to explain about our mark. “I can’t believe I forgot.”

I glance back and see her furrowed brow, as she continues to trace the stained skin of my neck.

“Fairy wings?”

I laugh at the skepticism in her tone. “Seems cliché, huh?” She raises a single eyebrow, waiting for me to expound upon my question.

“Where do you think the folklore came from, babe? Haven’t you wondered why you haven’t seen anyone here with wings?”

Her eyebrow descends and a sheepish look crosses her features. She shrugs, “I guess it crossed my mind once or twice, but I haven’t really thought about it.” She gives me a lopsided grin, the embarrassment in her eyes growing. “I guess I thought—um,” She stops and clears her throat, avoiding eye contact. Then she lets out a long sigh of acceptance. “I thought maybe I had to earn them.”

I try. I really, really try to hold back my laughter but it explodes out in a howl of mirth. Shaylee’s face turns bright red and her lips turn down into an annoyed pout. I get control of myself, and caress the side of her face, “You’re so damn cute.” Then I lean down to kiss her pout away. When I pull back, she gives me a little smile and I return it, before clarifying on the subject.

“You’ve experienced hurricanes in New York, right?” I ask.

“Sure”

“Walking with the wind in a hurricane forces you to move faster, pushing you into a run and practically lifting you off of your feet.” I scoot back onto the bed, resting against the headboard and pull her to rest on my chest. “We often use wind that way, to gain some extra speed over the Fallen.
