Ash let out a sharp cry when he released, and a moment later, I orgasmed, too. We cried out in unison as we rode out the wave of pleasure together. Ash wrapped his arms around my body, pulling me onto him, pushing into me as deep as he could. My breasts mashed against his chest, and I leaned my head against his shoulder as the orgasm nearly blinded me with its intensity.
Again, the magic Ash possessed flowed from him, oozing out of every pore. It filled the room. It pushed into every corner, wrapped around me until I was cocooned in power, and I felt like it flowed through me as his cock throbbed and pulsed with his release. We were tied together, and nothing mattered except the bubble we existed in together.
When the orgasms finally faded, I collapsed against Ash’s body. We held onto each other. My heart hammered against his chest.
Eventually, he let go of me, and I climbed off him. I lay back on the couch, breathing hard. The cool air in the cabin brushed against my naked body. The pleasure still came in waves, although the orgasm had long subsided. I basked in the aftermath of our sex.
Ash shifted and tried to lie down on the couch with me. The couch was too small for us to be side by side, so Ash pulled me on top of him. He was so strong and his body so large, it didn’t seem like an effort at all to have me on top of him. I lay on him with my head on his chest, listening to his heart beating against my ear.
He stroked his hand up and down my back. His fingers were gentle, his touch soothing rather than ticklish.
I could lie here forever. Right now, in this minute, I didn’t care about any of it—not this world, the magic, my own world, what Oscar had done to me… none of it mattered. All that mattered was me and Ash, together.
I wasn’t sure what it meant. I didn’t know where we stood, what we felt for each other. But right now, that didn’t matter.
I was where I was supposed to be. Somehow, I was home.
ChapterTwenty-Six
Ash
The forest was alive with magic. Something was wrong.
I was in my tree, having just surfaced from a deep sleep. I hadn’t slept this deeply for a long time.
I became aware of magic. Lots of it. It was dark and swirling and promised menace.
I jerked awake completely and stepped out of my tree, taking on my human form again. Despite being in human form, I looked through my tree’s eyes and took in the forest around me.
There was darkness everywhere. It moved through the trees, a being that consumed light. This darkness wasn’t only the absence of light; it was alive and looking for something.
What was it looking for?
Lorraine.
How the hell were they here again? The power I felt wasn’t magic; it was intent. It was the malice, the hatred, the need to destroy that I felt. And it was powerful—more powerful than it had been since that night Lorraine had run through my forest.
The vale was deathly quiet. No birds chirped in the trees. The other druses were quiet, staying in their trees, trembling. They knew something was here, but it was after Lorraine and it wasn’t their problem.
Why couldn’t they care for once?!
I turned around and ran to the cabin. I had to get to her before they did. I had to make sure she was okay. If they found her, only the gods knew what they would do to her. I wasn’t going to let them touch her.
When I got my hands on those assholes, I was going to rip them limb from limb. No more holding back, no more hurting to warn them. I’d made my point with the one that came back. Now, I would kill. I would do to them what they’d done to her, and it wasn’t going to be pretty.
They were going to quickly learn that being on the receiving end was a special kind of hell.
When I reached the entrance to the area I’d blocked off, the magic wasn’t as it used to be. The barrier was gone. Broken, as if someone had crashed right through a large wall.
My body filled with dread. They had to have had some kind of magical help to be able to do this. To find her in this magic, too.
But who?
I would figure that out later. Right now, I needed to save her.
I crept toward the cabin, alert, ears strained for any sound. It was eerily quiet. No one seemed to be around. The cabin lay quiet in the morning sun, but darkness clung to its walls.
Everything looked normal, but it couldn’t be. Something felt wrong.
