Seduced by Power
okay?"
    I nodded. "Just a small headache. It's already gone."
    Stepping away from me, she clutched her nightshirt to her chest. "Maybe I should sleep in a different room tonight. My power doesn't feel quite stable right now."
    "No." I wrapped my arms around her and refused to let her go. "You're not sleeping away from me. We can manage this like we always do. How adventurous are you feeling?"
    She relaxed in my embrace, eyes wide with fear and desire. "What did you have in mind?"
    I grinned. "I bought toys."
    Reluctantly releasing her, I dragged a bag from under the bed and dumped the contents on the chair.
    With tentative strokes, she ran her fingers over the metal hand and ankle cuffs. Her breath hitched when she saw the leather whip and feathers.
    I turned her to face me. "We don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with. But I know you need more pain to stay in control, and I want it to always be fun for you. I can make this fun for you, for both of us, if you're interested."

    My cock could have shattered glass, it was so hard. Seeing Rose naked, tied up, blindfolded with legs spread just for me nearly had me coming right there on the spot. I wanted to fuck her so badly, but I needed to feed her power first, before I could touch her too much.
    I slid a hand down her body, groaning as her nipples hardened. I pinched one hard, then used the leather whip against her thigh. She cried out through the gag, straining against her cuffs. We had a hand signal she was to use if it got too much, and I watched carefully for her to make it, but she didn't. She wanted more. Needed more.
    I might have shifted from so much pent up energy pulsing through me, if I had enough magic to shift.
    Using a feather, I caressed the red line on her pale skin, making her shiver with the contact. Using my teeth, I bit and sucked at her nipples while dipping my fingers into her wet pussy. As I rubbed her clit, I applied more pressure with my teeth to keep it in balance. Just as she came, I unlocked her cuffs and freed her from the blindfold and gag. I wanted her to wrap her legs around me as I fucked her. Wanted her nails against my skin as I pounded my cock into her.
    She felt so tight. So wet and warm and perfect. I claimed her mouth with mine, exploring her with my tongue as I buried myself inside of her. Her vaginal muscles clenched, quivering around me as we both came again.
    I kissed her nose. "I love you, Rose. Forever."
    Her cheeks were red and eyes glassed over with pleasure. "I love you, too, Derek."
    One more thrust and I collapsed on her, holding myself up on my elbows just enough to not crush her.
    I kissed a trail down her collarbone, my cock still hard inside of her. I could stay like this forever. I never believed I could find a love that would change my life, a love that would inspire me to become the best version of myself, but I'd found that in Rose. For her I would move the world. For her I would risk it all.
    Dizziness clouded my vision, her beautiful eyes blurring.
    Her heart pounded against my chest, more frantic then before.
    Pain raced through me, clutching my core and not letting go.
    Rose screamed my name, her face contorted in fear, but she sounded so far away, as if speaking from within a bubble.
    I couldn't think, didn't understand what was happening.
    Something.
    Dark.
    Evil.
    Hungry.
    And then I knew, but it was too late. I couldn't speak, couldn't move, couldn't fight. My wolf, my protector, was nearly dead inside of me, no longer able to block the bulk of her power.
    I didn't realize I'd depended on my magic so much when we made love.
    Didn't know that I'd be at greater risk as my magic drained from me.
    She pushed me off her and ran away.
    I smelled blood, but couldn't get to her.
    Her screams tried to penetrate my haze, but only partially succeeded. My soul, my heart, reached out to her, but darkness pulled it back, sucking it into hell.
    My eyes closed, but I wasn't asleep. I saw my body lying on the bed,
