Esme

If this was kissing without the mate bond, it was probably just as well, because a kiss fed with that underlying channel of soul-deep connection would have melted her.

They kissed and kissed, and she couldn't even remember when his hands in her hair dislodged the pins—but it was down, falling all around her, stirred in the nighttime breeze.

"Are you—" he breathed against her lips, and she whispered back, "Yes."

The branches of the willow tree, woven through with lights, were like a bower all around them, shutting out curious eyes. Heikon drew her down onto the soft moss under the tree. He stripped out of his jacket and spread it like a blanket.

"Will anyone—"

"Anjelica will keep them away. I think she read the situation better than I did."

His undershirt followed the jacket, and then she was finally able to run her hands across the planes of the sculpted body she'd dreamed about for twenty years.

Every touch seemed to ignite the fire blazing between them. She didn't want to hope, not after all this time—but was it possible ... could this ultimate connection repair the mate bond?

Only one way to find out, she thought, and gave herself over completely to the heat blazing in her, the hot well of need between her legs.

Her dress followed his shirt, and then it was skin on skin, moving against each other in the semi-dark. The sweat-slick friction of their bodies—his hands guiding her hips—her mouth sealed against his—

They were one being, united in frantic, passionate need. Twenty years of separation built rapidly toward a blazing climax, and she shuddered through the throes of an orgasm like nothing she'd experienced in two decades.

They collapsed together, limbs twined around each other. The fairy lights cast white and blue patterns across his skin.

With sated bliss purling through her, she opened herself wide, reaching out, straining for what she had once felt whenever she was near him.

Is it possible ...

And for a moment she almost thought—

But there was nothing there. She felt relaxed and good, but only in the normal, post-sex kind of way. Whatever this consummation had done for both of them, it had done nothing for the mate bond.

Esme turned her face into his shoulder.

"Esme," he said, shocked, as her hot tears soaked his skin. "Esme. Dear Esme." He held her, rocked her, and then drew back and took her face in his hands. "What's wrong? Wasn't it—wasn't it good for you?"

"No!" she said, shocked that he would even think that. "No, no, please—it was good. So good. I missed ..." She pulled in a shuddering breath, and tears sprang to her eyes for a new reason, splintering the fairy lights to a kaleidoscope of bright splinters. The raw truth was pulled out of her, one painful word at a time. "I missed you so much."

"Oh, Esme." He buried his face in her neck. "I missed you too. So much. So much."

She clung to him, feeling him against every part of her, and in that moment, she decided.
