shook my head
again, unable to go on.
“Brice sacrificed himself so we could get
Hayden back over the river.” Jasper rubbed my arms. “Are you
alright?”
I nodded. “I think I’m going to go to
bed.”
“I’ll be there shortly. There are just a few
things I want to discuss with everyone that is going back
tomorrow.”
I kissed him softly, wishing he could just
come to bed and hold me. Though I made sure not to project the
feeling to him, he was excellent at reading me. He grabbed hold of
my hand, squeezed it and gave me a reassuring smile. I squeezed him
back and moved my blankets farther into the woods.
I lay down and bundled myself up, knowing I
wouldn’t be able to sleep until Jasper was lying next to me to warm
me up. I didn’t have to wait long.
“Sorry, Shlova.” He pulled me to his chest
and kissed my forehead. “How are you doing?”
“Better now that you’re holding me.” I tilted
my head up. “Kiss me.”
He smiled and brought his lips down to mine.
I sighed and closed my eyes. His tongue gently found mine. It
didn’t take long until all I could feel was the heat of his body
against mine. I was engulfed by the taste and the smell of him. He
pulled back slowly and kissed the tip of my nose.
“Did it work?” He looked searchingly into my
eyes.
I nodded. Jasper could always kiss me better.
Of course, now that we had started I was finding it hard to stop. I
poked my head up and looked around. We were nicely hidden by the
bushes I had placed the blankets behind. I ran my hand under his
shirt and played my thumb over his nipple. His mouth claimed mine
again, this time just as softly as the first. My head started to
reel.
“This is where wearing a dress might have its
advantages,” he whispered in my ear as he undid the laces on my
pants and helped me wiggle out of them. I tried not to laugh out
loud. I returned the favor and pulled him free of his pants. He was
hot and hard in my hand. He groaned low in his throat as I stroked
him. I rolled so that I was straddling him and lay flat on his
chest before lowering myself. I caught my breath as he entered me.
His hands held me in place and I could tell he was trying not to
make any noise.
“I could stay like this all night,” I
whispered in his ear. “I love how you fill me.” I pushed myself
lower and smiled at his small gasp. “How you stretch me and I can
feel your heat deep inside of me.” I moved my hips from side to
side and was rewarded with a moan.
Jasper shuddered then rolled so that he was
on top. He pulled back and thrust back into me before pushing his
hips down, pinning me to the ground. He brought his mouth down to
mine and ran his teeth over my bottom lip before nibbling his way
along my jaw, to my ear, and back again. It was my turn to shudder.
He rocked over me lazily, not really moving, simply content to be
in me.
I felt the heat building up deep inside of
me. I tried to arch my hips up to meet his but his weight held me
down. I shook under him. He pulled almost completely out before
pushing back in slowly. A tremor ran through me, starting deep in
my core and spreading outward. I felt myself clench around him as
the blood rushed to my head and every other extremity of my
body.
He caught his breath and crushed my mouth
with his, each of us swallowing the other’s groan of pleasure. He
rocked over me a bit longer, waiting until the aftershocks of our
coupling stopped running through me to pull out.
I pulled on my pants and let him pull me to
his chest. He kissed the back of my neck softly.
“A shlova yan,” he whispered softly.
I sighed and linked my fingers with his. “A
shlova yan jer.”

“There!” I pointed down to a cluster of rocks
below us.
Dodge angled his wings and turned in that
direction. The wind blew my hair in my face and I brushed it out of
the way.
Are you sure? I didn’t see anything.
“I’m positive I saw something. There were at
least three of them.”
Were they
