He lifted her in his arms and ran with her to the chute platform.
Lust clouded his mind, but it was love that made his heart pound. He was envisioning her under him, but he could also see half a dozen children at the table of their farmhouse, parties out in the fields with their friends, playing musical instruments and cooking jam empanadas over a roaring fire.
Ella. My mate.
Flashes of her flew through his mind. Ella the way she was now, young and sweet and doting on Bo, Ella filled out and pink-cheeked after a few more months of hearty meals and enthusiastically working the farm with his help, and even a tired-looking, but joyful Ella with her feet propped up, little Bo curled up cozily to her side as she read to him because her belly was so swollen with a little sibling he could barely fit on her lap.
Somewhere in his periphery, he was aware of the neighbors cheering and whistling him on, but he didn’t care.
His only need was to get his mate to their bed and claim her now. He needed those visions to come true, needed them more than he had ever needed anything in his life.
The chute seemed to rise in slow motion, but at last, he was sprinting across the lichen field toward home.
He slammed his palm against the sensor as Ella pressed her lips to his neck.
Waves of desire crashed over him, and he nearly dropped to his knees to take her on the porch.
But the door swung open, and he forced himself to secure it behind them before flying down the hall to the bedroom.
“Jhon,” Ella whimpered as he lowered her to the floor.
“We’re here,” he told her. “Let’s get these clothes off you.”
She slid the cloak off her shoulders and they both removed her shift. When she stood before him in her underthings, he thought he would go wild with lust.
He knelt before her, and unfastened her silken bra with shaking hands, then peeled down her panties and helped her step out of them.
The sight of her would have driven him out of his mind even without the frenzy. But now it was as if their bodies did not belong to themselves, only to the bond.
Afraid to lose control, he slowly leaned forward and nuzzled her small breasts.
She moaned lightly and arched her back as if to try to get more of herself into his mouth.
He shuddered with need as he licked and sucked each perfect nipple, teasing and readying her even as his own body threatened to combust at every touch.
When she began to cry out and tangle her hands in his hair, he kissed his way down her belly.

ELLA
Ella shivered and moaned as Jhon licked his way down her belly and nuzzled the sensitive skin of her inner thighs.
The need was bigger than her, threatening to swallow her whole.
“Lie down,” Jhon growled in a voice too deep to be fully his own.
Is that the dragon, speaking through him?
She crawled onto the bed, her whole body throbbing with want.
Then he was shrugging off his leather armor, dropping his sword and boots to the ground, and crawling in after her. His big body was so beautiful. It glistened with sweat, making him shimmer as if he were made of amethyst and lust.
Grabbing her ankles, he spread her legs apart and lowered himself between them, his mouth just inches from her needy sex.
“Jhon,” she whimpered helplessly.
Then he was on her, licking and suckling her folds, sliding a rough finger against her tender opening.
