a bit stunned at her glowing tat. His burned as well, he realized in that moment of clarity. She truly is my mate! There can be nae doubt now.
    “Open to me wife!” he growled.
    Instinctively she knew what he meant and spread her thighs in response. She wanted him . The need to be joined with him...possessed by him was overwhelming! Arianna clawed at his back, pulling him closer as he covered her with his powerful body.
    Prodding gently, he entered her expanding sheath until he reached the barrier. His neck was on fire as he commanded her to open her eyes.
    “Look at me, Anna! I would have ye see who ye belong ta as I claim ye ta be mine!” Submitting, s he fell into the vivid green stare, mesmerized by his eyes as he thrust deeply into her body.
    Fused as one, he lowered his frame till their tattoos touch ed while he waited for her body to adjust to his invasion.
    There was an explosion of light as electricity shot through both of them at that instant. Emotions surged through them that neither had ever felt before! There was caring, tenderness...a feeling of rightness that engulfed them at that moment .
    Arianna knew that this was where she was meant to be...in this place...in his arms. It was her destiny.
    Lucian had felt it as well. He did not understand it but he didn’t question the Fates. As he moved his hips, relishing the silkiness of her sheath encompassing his swollen shaft, his neck cooled to a normal temperature.
    An inferno began to build in her body at the same time her tattoo cooled. She thrust her hips harder and faster, losing all control over it as she climaxed. She cried out in ecstasy and was soon joined by her husband.
    They were speechless as they peered into each other’s eyes. Something had changed between them. They both felt it.
    “Wh-what happened?” She stroked his neck tenderly.
    “I do nae ken ...but it was a wonderment ta be sure!” With a gentle kiss he pulled her into his arms. “Ye should rest, Anna. We can sort it out in the morn.”
    She yawned, snuggling closer into his warm embrace.
    “You were right about one thing, Lucian. In this case, it was better to make the ‘unknown’ known. I don’t fear it anymore . ”
    He chuckled deeply. “Go ta sleep, wife.”

    He woke to the sound of someone crying out his name in terror. Instantly awake, he realized that it was Arianna as she thrashed about at his side. Taking her into his arms, Lucian gently roused her.
    “Anna...mo gradh, tis a dream ye be having. Wake now and calm your fears.”
    Blinking, Arianna looked about her with bewildered eyes.
    “What happened?”
    “Ye called ta me in your sleep. Ye sounded frightened, lass. Can ye tell me why? What was your dream about?”
    She shook her head as she relaxed against his broad chest. “I never remember much about the details...only the emotions.” She shuddered reflexively. “I felt danger around me and I could n’t find you anywhere. I had a sense of vulnerability, Lucian. I hate that feeling! Malcolm was there but I did n’t feel any fear of him. Someone else scared me ... but I don’t know who it was.”
    He listened attent ively to her tale. He knew dreams could be deceptive but Arianna’s should be well heeded. He stroked her hair absently as he considered her words. He knew he was going nowhere but perhaps, in her dream she believed him to be lost. The important part ta remember is that it was someone else that she feared...nae Malcolm. But who could it be? He was about to tell her to rest when he noticed that she had already dozed off. Kissing her brow, he settled back down for the night.

    “Time ta rise, wee wife.”
    “Go away,” she mumbled. Early rising was not her forte.
    He chuckled, then jerked the blankets off of her, exposing her bare skin to the chilled room. Arianna screeched as she made a grab for the warm coverings. He stayed her with his arm then rolled atop her, sharing his warmth.
    “Mmmm, you feel good.” Her eyes opened a crack to peer at
