“It’ll be enough,” Tor said. “I just want her protected from the demon.”
It’s done. Anubis’ presence faded away.
Tor turned to Kenna, expecting to see her fear still visible on her face. What he wasn’t prepared for was for her to throw herself into his arms and cling to him. He closed his eyes and tucked her head under his chin and returned her embrace. He felt as if he could finally take a deep breath since Kenna had seen him in his half-human and half-jackal form.
Kenna clung tightly to Tor. Her fear of him was gone, taken away by Anubis. Without it threatening to take her over, she was able to think clearly again. The god had also shown her how Tor had lived his life all these millennia, starting with the day he’d taken his vow to become one of Anubis’ warriors. That had been particularly hard to see. Tor had been so close to death. Seeing him bloody, barely clinging to life, had been gut-wrenching.
And Tor had been alone for so very long. Living among mortals, keeping his distance since their lifespans were short compared to his. Not once had he tried to form any attachments. That is until he’d stumbled across her. She’d seen the night in the Luxor parking lot through his eyes. Had seen how taken he’d been with her, and how he hadn’t wanted to wipe her memory, but had known he hadn’t any choice. And also how Tor hadn’t been able to stay away from her in the end.
The love she felt for him was as strong as ever now that her fear no longer clouded it. She loved this ancient immortal warrior with all her heart. Walking away from him wasn’t an option. Kenna also wanted the brief flash of her future with Tor that Anubis had given her.
She pulled back in Tor’s arms and stared at him. “I can accept all of this now.”
“You can?”
“As Anubis said, he fixed me. He took my fear away. If he hadn’t, I don’t know if I would have been able to get past it.” She met his gaze. “Then I would have missed out on the best thing that has ever happened to me—you. I love you as much as I did before I found out what you were.”
Tor crushed her in his embrace and kissed her as if there was no tomorrow. She returned it, pouring all the love she had for him into it. He pulled away once he had her pussy wet and aching for him to fill it. His cock was hard, pressed against her stomach.
“I need you again,” Tor said huskily. “And I promise you I’ll do everything in my power to keep you happy. I’ll always love you. You do make me complete.”
“And I want you. Make love to me.”
He picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. He took his time taking her clothes off, kissing every inch of skin he bared. By the time he’d finished and stood as naked as she, Kenna was almost desperate for him, but she stopped him when he would have lifted her onto the bed.
With gentle lips, she kissed where each of the wounds he’d received on that battlefield had been. Last, she explored his chest, especially where Anubis had placed his mark on Tor. Without it and all it stood for, Kenna would never have met the man who now owned her heart.
“Let me love you,” she said as she took a step back.
In answer, Tor claimed her lips in a searing kiss before he climbed onto the bed, then lay on his back in the center of it. Kenna followed him and straddled his thighs. She lovingly ran her hands along his chest and down to his six-pack abs. Once she reached his cock, she wrapped her hand around it and pumped. Tor lifted his hips off the bed, pressing himself tighter into her hold.
Kenna bent her head and licked off the bead of pre-cum that appeared on the very tip of Tor’s cock. She moaned at the salty taste of him. Looking and seeing him watching her, she opened her mouth and took him inside. She sucked on him, taking him almost to the back of her throat. His shaft grew harder and he groaned, his gaze intently following her movements. In and out she took him, increasing the suction as he rocked against her.
“I love how you suck,” Tor said on a moan. “You’ll make me come, but I want to be inside you when I do that.”
And she wanted him deep inside her. Kenna released his cock, then shifted up his body until her pussy hovered over his erection. She lowered herself onto him. He easily slipped inside her wet pussy. He stretched and filled her. She panted as she took all of him, sheathing him to the base.
Placing her hands on his chest, Kenna rode Tor’s cock. She squeezed her inner muscles around him as he slid in and out of her. She took him so deep she couldn’t tell where she ended and he began. They fit each other perfectly. And Tor was all hers for eternity. Her eternal warrior. Her mate.
Tor lifted his head and sucked a nipple into his mouth. With each pull on the taut bud, Kenna’s body coiled tighter. She increased the pace she set, taking him harder and faster, moaning his name.
Her movements became jerky just as she fell over the edge. Her climax tore through her, intense and seeming to go on forever. Once it was over, Tor took hold of her hips and lifted her on and off him, arching up as he surged into her. His face was set in a mask of male need as he strained for his own release. When he came, he growled and thrust so hard into her, he lifted her knees off the bed.
Out of breath, feeling delicious aftershocks, Kenna collapsed onto Tor’s chest. His heart thundered under her ear. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.
Once she could breathe normally again, Kenna lifted her head and kissed Tor’s chin. “It’s a good thing we have an eternity together, because I don’t think I’ll ever get my fill of you.”
He chuckled and tucked her hair behind her ear. “I won’t complain about that, considering I feel the same way when it comes to you.” Tor sobered. “Are you really sure you’re okay with all this?”
She nodded. “I know you didn’t have any control. That you tried to fight the demon but lost. Anubis showed me.”
“What else did he show you?”
“Your life from the day you gave him your vow to the present. I now feel as if I’ve known you forever. And probably better than if I’d learned about you in the regular way.”
Tor ran the backs of his fingers along her cheek. “Then I guess I’d better thank Anubis the next time I talk to him.”
“So are you really going to try to take on the demon tonight?”
“Yes. The more time that goes by the more of a threat he’ll become. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if something happened to you.”
“Just promise me you’ll be careful. I don’t want to see you hurt, even though you are immortal and heal really fast.”
He smiled. “I’ll do my best. Don’t worry, tonight I’ll send the demon back to the underworld to face Anubis. And I promise I’ll be careful.” Tor rolled and took Kenna to her back with him on top of her. “Enough talk about the demon. It’s my turn to love my mate.”
Feeling Tor’s cock harden inside her pussy, Kenna gave herself over to him and the pleasure she knew he’d give her.
Chapter Eight
Kenna checked the pots she had cooking on the stove. After their last bout of lovemaking, Tor and she had come downstairs to see what was in the fridge and pantry. As promised, Kenna was going to cook dinner for Tor.
