CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE

Ellery

The sun had started rising when Ryker pulled out of me and rolled to the side. Too exhausted to move, I lay, staring at the thick canopy of trees above as I tried to catch my breath.

Things had always been amazing between us, but last night was different. Last night, our powers also joined us, and there was something feral about the way he’d taken me over and over again.

It was as if he couldn’t get enough, but there was also an air of desperation. It felt like we’d never see each other again… like it was all over.

I felt bereft of something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Throughout the night, we’d rolled across the ground and taken each other in many ways.

We’d been like animals, out of control and wild, but worse. Animals would eventually stop fucking, but each time we came, we started again until the sun rose.

And the light had brought reason and control with it. It had doused the urgency as surely as water extinguished a fire.

I ached between my legs, but it was a pleasant soreness that reminded me of him. The scruff on his face had abraded my skin, reddening it beneath his kisses and bites. I didn’t mind as I rested a palm against my reddened cheeks.

I also smelled like him again for the first time in weeks. I’d missed his scent and was keenly aware of how fast it would fade.

Beside me, Ryker lay with his arm beneath my head while he also worked to catch his breath. Neither of us spoke; I had no idea what to say, as I didn’t know what this meant.

No matter what had just transpired between us, I knew he hadn’t forgiven me. That was the difference; we were together, and he’d sated my body in ways no one else ever would, but I’d felt an unfamiliar distance in him throughout it all.

Even when he was kissing me, it was different. My hands went to my swollen lips as I recalled the harshness of his kiss. All of it had been harsher than before.

Maybe it was because we’d been apart so long, but it hadn’t eased or become gentler throughout the night. There had only been a desperate, all-consuming urge to get off and another to keep going afterward.

It had been as uncontrollable as our powers when they joined together to create a storm that encompassed us. However, it wasn’t just our lightning bringing us together… it was also us.

Our ability had created the storm, but we could have resisted it. One of us could have walked away before it exploded into a tempest, but neither did.

We were right together. We always had been… until his father and my lies destroyed it all.

Ryker seemed to be recalling all that as he removed his arm from under my head, rolled to the side, and rose. Emptiness filled me as cool air rushed in to replace the warmth of him against my side.

Before, he would have cradled me against him as he caressed my face and kissed me tenderly.
