"My man," I breathed, leaning in to claim his lips.

Talin kissed me softly, his tongue exploring my mouth as if he had all the time in the world. He also didn't grab for me, but his fingers trailed across the skin of my pussy, making flutters in my stomach. Soft, sweet, delicious ones. The chill air around us made me even more aware of the heat of his body beneath me, but there was no rush.

This was us. This was our moment to just be a guardian and his desire. As my hands found his chest, caressing the flat planes and solid mass of him, his trailed lightly across my most sensitive parts. My pussy, my spine, and even the sides of my ribs. Something about the way he touched me felt different, more personal, and I couldn't get enough of it.

Because this was love.

There was passion as well, but it wasn't driving our connection anymore. Instead, I wanted him closer. I wanted to feel everything, from the sound of his breath to the calluses on his hands. I wanted it to be him, right now, just like I had back in that inn. Talin was my protector, but I was also his. I couldn't even explain how or why, but I knew that, and I wanted to make this homecoming something he could treasure.

So I lifted higher and moved back. He reached between us, lining himself up, but he didn't pull me down. He merely made himself available, so I took what I needed. Slowly, feeling my body stretch around him, I lowered myself onto his shaft. A whimper caught in my throat, but he kissed it away, moving his hand to my ass once I was settled.

"My desire," he whispered against my lips.

Then I rocked, feeling him shift inside me. His eyes closed and he groaned, giving in completely. Reaching down, I caught one of his arms, then the other, pressing them both above his head, but my hips continued to move. Slow rolls drove him against my walls until he lifted, seeking something more.

So I gave it. Rising up, I let him slide out only to take him again. My back arched as I pressed into him, feeling my nipples sliding against his chest. The sheets rustled beneath my knees, and Talin inhaled so very softly, proving he liked it. Quiet, soft, sensual lovemaking, we slid our bodies against each other, wanting to feel everything.

He pulled one hand from my grip and pressed right between my breasts, guiding me up and back. I kept moving, kept grinding my hips against his body. Talin's eyes drank me in, sliding lower until his gaze landed on where our bodies connected. Then I felt him move his legs, lifting his knees so that his feet pressed onto the mattress.

He thrust, driving himself deeper into me. I matched him, taking everything I could. Then again, over and over, we forced our bodies together, neither of us taking charge but both chasing the same goal. Faster, harder, deeper, each time we connected became more intense, and still that feeling didn't leave. That emotional weight, the intensity of our connection, only grew as our bodies became more frantic.

And the bed began to creak.

I didn't even care. Let the rest of the house think what they would. There was nothing wrong with what we were doing. This was love. Pure, physical, and passionate love. Zeal had given this man to me, and I had no intention of losing him. Not to another priest, not to the squabbles of his family, and certainly not because I didn't care for him enough. He was mine. My god-given gift. My match. My guardian.

The pace that had started slow was now intense. My skin was growing slick beneath his hands and he was breathing as hard as I was. The feel of our bodies together, him sheathed inside me, was such sweet friction. My panting was gaining a voice, just little sound with each breath, but Talin loved it. His grip tightened. His thrusts became more insistent, and I knew I was so close.

"Let go, beautiful," he whispered. "Close your eyes and just let go for once."

My head fell back, my eyes slipped closed, and his hands moved higher. Teasing my breasts, he kept pumping upward, driving himself into my body. Every inch of my skin was on fire. The cold air rushing into my lungs was a stark contrast to the heat of the man inside me. Somewhere in the middle of that, I stopped giving and I took. I demanded. I let my guardian give me every single thing I needed, and it felt so good.

The rush of my climax hit hard. I gasped. My core clenched, but Talin kept going. Thrust by thrust, he rode me through the pleasure, prolonging it even as I felt him throbbing so deep inside me. And then, he simply groaned, pulling me back down against his chest as his body shuddered. His arms wrapped around my back, I pressed my face into his neck, and we both struggled to just breathe.

"I got you," he whispered against my hair. "Always, Nari. It's ok to just let go, because I will always have you."

I curled my arm around his side, hugging him as best as I could. "I know, Talin. By Zeal, I didn't know I could love you this much."

He murmured his approval. "I guess maybe that soul sharing goes both ways, huh?"

"Wouldn't surprise me at all," I agreed, shifting my hips to slide off of him.

But Talin didn't let me go far. My weight slid to the side, but I was still wrapped around him. Chest to chest, our bodies touched down the length of them, and I didn't want to pull away. He, however, knew better. Reaching down, he managed to just barely grab the blankets and work them higher. What he didn't do was try to move me off of him.

Instead, he covered us both before reaching up to smooth back my hair. "You are a god's temptation and lying in my bed. Never, in all my life, would I have imagined this. When I thought of my future, it was always a lonely and cold existence. But this?"

"It's like a reward," I agreed. "I almost feel bad saying it, but I'm glad it's you and not Anver." I shifted my face to pillow it against his chest. "He was such a dear friend, and I thought it would be enough, but I would've been miserable."

"You're too sexual," Talin said softly. "You would've destroyed Anver. I think you still need him, and I know he needs you, but he was never meant to be your guardian."

"You were," I realized.

His hand slid down my hair again. "Yeah. Didn't even know you existed, and Zeal still put me on a path to become what you needed. His power is subtle, but so amazingly strong. I just wish I knew what you were supposed to do with it."

"Huh?" That made me lift up to see his face. "I don't have Zeal's power, Talin."

He chuckled once. "Yeah, Nari, you do. He's given it to you. You aren't his pawn, you're his partner. You've breathed in his tears. I only drank them! You surrendered, and I have a feeling that means a lot more to him than it does to us. He gave you a Path, and he gave you everything you need to walk it, but he left it up to you to decide what you're supposed to do with that."

"How will I know?" I asked.
