Forbidden by Fate (8 page)

“Brat,” Damon teased, swiping water out of his eyes.

“Sure you want to live with me forever?” she asked.

He smashed her against him, until the heat between their bodies made the steaming spring seem cool. “I’d like to be claimed in the Draco mating ceremony…if you’ll have me.”

She melted into his embrace. Nothing would make her happier than bonding with Damon for life.

“Yes.” Her heart danced as she snaked her arms and legs around him. “Of course I will.”

“Then everything else will fall into place around us.” The deep baritone of his voice soothed away the last of Sasha’s worry. Though a relationship like theirs had never existed before, they were going to make it work. And they’d be perfectly, sublimely happy. “I guess there’s only one thing left to decide,” he whispered as his hand cupped her breast. “My place or yours?”

“There’s never been a female Alpha before, and a Draco has never claimed a Were.” Her breath hitched as she dipped a hand between their bodies and found his erection straining with desire. “I guess the beauty of making our own rules is that we can do whatever we want.”

“Damn right.”

Damon kissed her then, wet and feverish, unzipped his pants and jerked them down. When he pulled back, gazing into her eyes with fierce, unconditional love, Sasha knew it didn’t matter which territory they called home.

Home was wrapped in Damon’s arms, and it was sweeter than she could’ve ever dreamed.
