Yes, I am, Tegan agreed without the slightest hesitation. He grinned at Elise, desire sparking as always just to look at her and know that by some miracle of fate, she was his. I am very well mated.
Lucan nodded. Rest up. I won't bother you again until we're ready to move out and head back to Boston.
As soon as he was gone, Elise wrapped Tegan in a loving embrace, her lips warm with promise as she kissed him. He felt the strength of her love surrounding him, and he knew that no matter how dark the coming days might be, he would always have this light to hold him. He kissed her back, interest stirring rigidly to life.
You heard Lucan, she murmured against his mouth, a smile in her voice. You need to get some rest.So? he growled, playfully nipping her supple lower lip.
Elise laughed. So, maybe we should wait to do this until we get home.
Tegan rolled her onto the bed with him, smoothly pinning her under his awakening body. He looked down into her wide lavender eyes, which held him with so much love it staggered him.
He kissed her slowly, tenderly, sincerely.
I am home, he said, his voice rough with emotion as he pressed her down beneath him. This is the only home I'll ever need.
