Passion rose within me. Just as I thought I was going to reach my peak, the pleasure kept on building, until I hit a high I’d never felt before. My hands fisted in the sheets, and my back arched off the bed. My jaw dropped open, and my moans became louder. Lucas pressed the vibrator to my clit harder, and the orgasm just kept going.
“Lucas!” I cried. I grabbed him and yanked him on top of me. “I need you inside of me now.”
We didn’t bother with a condom, because we didn’t need them anymore. Lucas turned off the vibrator and set it aside, then positioned myself above me. He gasped when he filled me up, like he’d never felt anything so incredible.
I felt everything as his cock moved in and out of me. There were ridges to his dick I’d never felt before, but it was smoother, too. His skin on mine was unlike anything we’d experienced together. The friction was better, and he glided into me easier. I’d never felt closer to him than at this moment.
My fingers tangled in his hair as I dragged him closer. He let out wavered breaths that drove me insane as he slammed into me harder. He had to grab the headboard to steady himself. I wrapped my arms and legs around him and tugged on his hair. He went as deep as he could, and I moaned with every thrust.
Color burst behind my lids, and wave after wave of pleasure swept through me. Lucas buried his cock deep inside of me as he reached his peak, and we spiraled into an incredible orgasm together.
We fell onto the bed side by side, both of us sweaty and breathing hard.
“Holy fuck,” I breathed blissfully. The whole thing had happened so fast, but it was definitely the best sex we’d ever had.
He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head. “What do you think of your toy?”
I smiled as I cuddled close to him, my legs twisting around his. “I know it was a gag gift, but the joke’s on them, because I like it.”
I melted into him, letting the beat of his heart command my own pulse, slowing to match his. We lay there for a long time, taking in the blissful moment.
Talia had been right. Using toys had helped ground me to the moment with Lucas, and they’d brought us closer together. I felt something within me heal as I curled up next to my husband. The Reaper’s Shadow curse had kept us apart for so long, but I refused to let it dictate our future. Lucas and I belonged together, and no curse could change that. I would surrender to my husband—mind, body, and soul.
That meant that no matter our fate, I was going to break this curse—and nothing could stop me.

Lucas and I woke the next morning curled in each other’s arms. I could hear voices in a distant part of the house, and dread filled my gut at the thought of leaving this room. I sat up, but I didn’t move to get out of bed. My hand instinctively went to settle on my belly.
“What is it?” Lucas asked. He sat up and wrapped his arms around me. He placed his hand over mine, and I felt so much more secure with him beside me.
I hesitated, unsure how to put my worry into words. “It’s easy to celebrate becoming parents here in the privacy of our room, but once we step outside that door, there’s a million things that need our attention—researching reapers so you can pass the Warlock’s Trial, finding the Curse Breaker Wand, and now breaking the Reaper’s Shadow curse all over again.”
“I understand your worries, but we’re going to get through this together, okay?” he promised.
When he said it, I had no choice but to believe him. I nodded. “Okay.”
Lucas drew me into his arms. “We should talk to Talia and see if she can use the Seer Wand to learn more about the Reaper’s Shadow.”
“I think that might help,” I agreed.
Lucas and I showered and dressed. We went downstairs and heard Talia’s voice coming from the den. We didn’t use it much, but it was a nice quiet spot to relax. It was a small cozy room with a couch and two chairs facing an electric fireplace. We entered the room to see Talia seated in a chair opposite Verla. Talia had bags under her eyes, and it looked like she’d been up all night.
“It doesn’t make any sense,” Talia was saying. She had her eyes closed and held the Seer Wand in her hand.
“I know it’s difficult,” Verla replied sympathetically. “That’s why I’m here—to help you focus.”
Both of them turned to look at us when they heard us enter.
“Are we interrupting?” I asked.
“No,” Talia said, lowering the Wand. “We’re just trying to make sense of my visions.”
I took a seat on the couch, and Lucas sat beside me.
“Are you making any headway?” Lucas asked.
“I’m trying, but the Seer Wand is not all-knowing,” Talia said. “It’s still limited by my Cast’s abilities—and my own. The Seer Wand increases my power, but I still have to learn how to utilize it. There’s so many visions coming in at once that it’s hard to make sense of any of it. Sometimes, I can hone in on one thing, but I’m still getting all these visions and feelings coming at me in all directions. It’s difficult to decipher unless I know exactly what I’m looking for.”
