“Oh,” she cried, bucking against him uncontrollably. “Oh, Chain, yes! That feels so good—Yes!”
The orgasm seemed to last forever but at last her inner muscles stopped clenching quite so hard and she lay panting on her side with Chain still deep inside her.
After a moment, she realized that he wasn’t moving anymore. That in fact, he was holding perfectly still inside her, almost as though he was afraid to move.
“Chain?” she made his name a question and turned her head to see that his eyes were glowing like blue coals in the dimness of the bedroom. “What’s wrong?” she asked, frowning. “Are you all right?
“I’m fine—just…right on the edge.” His voice had the tense, strained quality of a man trying to lift something heavy or do some other task that was nearly impossible. “I’m trying…trying not to come in you because I know it will form a bond and I know you don’t want that. Not now, anyway,” he added.
Vicky bit her lip. A part of her—the strict, sensible, mature part—felt like they ought to wait to take such a lasting and permanent step. Felt that they ought to spend time dating and getting to know each other and all of that.
But another part—a stronger part—whispered that this felt right. That part told her that Chain was the one for her—the man who would love her and never leave or hurt her like her ex had. The man who wanted to be with her forever. And despite their age difference, he cared for her deeply—loved her. And she loved him, she realized—she really did.
The heart wants what the heart wants, she thought. And aloud, she said,
“Do it.”
“Do what?” Chain’s deep voice was still strained and his big body was rigid against hers.
“Do it,” Vicky said again, looking up into his eyes. “Come in me, Chain. Make me yours—bond me to you forever. If…that’s really what you want,” she added, a bit uncertainly.
“Gods, sweetheart—that’s all I want,” he growled softly in her ear. “To make you mine forever…to never let you go. Do you really mean it? You’ll let me bond you to me here and now—tonight?”
“Here and now,” Vicky agreed and to prove she meant it, she wiggled her hips and rocked back against him, fucking herself on his thickness as she had been before he woke up.
Chain gave a low groan and pulled almost all the way out of her before thrusting in again, filling her to the hilt.
“Hang on, sweetheart,” he growled in her ear. “Gonna fill you up with my cream in just a minute—going to come deep in your pussy and make you mine—make you my mate and my bride forever.”
And then he pressed deep inside her again and held still with the head of his cock kissing the mouth of her womb. Vicky felt his shaft grow even thicker and then he was pulsing inside her—hot spurts that bathed her inner pussy and soaked into her folds as though trying to find her inner core and make her his completely.
She moaned and found that she was coming again too—coming with the force of his orgasm as he bathed her inner pussy with his seed. Her channel milked him hungrily, clenching around his pulsing thickness as he emptied into her and Claimed her as his own forever.
“Yes, forever,” she heard Chain say—only he was speaking inside her head this time instead of using his voice.
Oh—that’s right—the bond makes a telepathic link, she thought with some surprise. She remembered hearing something about the link between a Kindred and his mate a long time ago, but she had dismissed it as being too fantastic to be true.
“It’s true, sweetheart—believe it,” Chain assured her. “That’s what it means to be bonded—to be so close to another person that they’re like a piece of your soul.”
“That’s beautiful,” Vicky sent back, testing out the bond for herself.
“You’re beautiful, my beautiful Victoria,” Chain murmured in her head. “You know, I never dreamed I’d be allowed to have a bride since I’m an M-Switch Kindred. I’m so glad I was wrong—so glad I found you and made you mine forever. I love you, sweetheart.”
“Oh, Chain—I love you, too,” Vicky told him. She found that now that they were bonded, all her doubts and fears had melted away like snow in the summer. This was right—beyond right, she suddenly understood. She and Chain were meant for each other and they were going to live the rest of their lives together, loving each other more every day.
And all because she had met a thief who came into the Last Call Bar on Valentine’s Day and he had ended up…Stealing her Heart.
Epilogue
“Well, I have some good news and some bad news, I’m afraid,” Sylvan told them as they all crowded into the room at the Med Center where Melinda and Jodi had been placed.
