I kiss her softly, one hand on her back, a hand on her cheek. Our lips press together, parting, her tongue entwined with mine. God, I want this moment. I want it to last. And as she holds me tight, I know she wants it too. Her hands run over my bare chest, tracing the bruises and cuts. Her hand on the back of my head, where she stitched me back together. "Are you still in pain?" she asks.

I shake my head. "No, whatever you gave me was a miracle cure." She smiles, her eyes closing. And she looks like an angel.

"Good," she says, "because I don't want to do anything with you if you're in pain."

"I'm not, but damn, I would be if this ended here before we had a chance to see where it might go.”

“My father wants me to marry a man named Fjord. He's going to announce it tomorrow at a celebration."

I look at her, the words stinging. "And what do you want, Cordelia?" I ask.

Tears slide down her cheeks. "I can't marry that man. I won't marry that man."

"And why is that?" I ask.

"Because he's not... he's not the one I want. The man I need, he's... Fjord is no match for me."

"But he's a selkie too? He knows the sea?"

She nods. "Yes. He's been my father's right-hand man and I’ve been promised to him since I was a little girl. It's no surprise, but..." She swallows. "It's all happening so fast and..."

"Maybe I came at just the right time, Cordelia. Maybe I entered your life at the moment you needed me the most."

"You believe in that?" she asks. "That sort of fate?"

"Destiny?" I nod. "I absolutely do. Out of all the places in the world I could have come to get over the loss of my brother, I came here to the Badlands. I fell and found you and somehow, fuck, now I can't let you go."

"My father is a powerful man."

"So am I, Cordelia. So am I." I kiss her again, this time with need coursing through me, the alpha male inside of me surging through my veins, asking to be set free. I need to claim my woman as my own. I crave her innocence with every beat of my heart. She gasps at the fervor of my kiss and I reach for the buttons on her clothes, pulling them off quickly with need. She pants in pleasure as I take her in, naked before me, her hair still wet from the water, my cock aching and hard for her. Her, and her alone.

"You're perfection," I tell her, looking her up and down.

"I'm a virgin," she says softly, lowering her chin, but lifting her eyes. "Does that change anything?"

I shake my head. "Nothing," I tell her. "I'm a virgin too. Bears mate for life. And I've been waiting for you, Cordelia. I've been waiting a long ass time."

She bites her bottom lip.

"Are you scared," I ask, "of the way I need you?" I step toward her, running my hand over her bare breasts.
