Forever Valentine
He made sure that thought communicated through to her as he plowed more forcefully into her welcoming sheath. His hands massaged her pink cheeks and tugged on her hips, getting a little rougher as they both neared the edge.
    Ian placed a single, strategic swat on her sweet ass that made her tighten on him in a way that could not be ignored. Collapsing down over her back, Ian sank his teeth—now fully distended—into the curve of her neck, allowing just a hint of her sweet essence to coat his tongue as he drove them both over the edge.
    It didn’t take much.
    His mate’s blood was far more powerful than any other’s. Her orgasm powered through his soul in a way he’d never felt before and would never feel again with any other woman.
    Only her.
    For all eternity.
    Or as long as she would give them.
    After a long, long, satisfying climax, Ian began to relax. She had wrung him out and as predicted, he was more than a little drunk on the energy that came of their joining.
    He grunted a little as he moved off her, taking his weight from her in an effort not to crush her. She was so precious to him, so fragile…so mortal, regardless that she was demi-vampir. He would spend the rest of his life seeing to her health and safety regardless of her decision, though he hoped and prayed she would choose to spend eternity with him, exploring their love.
    Ian rearranged their limbs when he found the energy to move again so that she rested against him, spooned into his body. Where she belonged. She was already fast asleep, and he couldn’t love her more.

Chapter Six
    Ian stared at his lover’s beautiful face as he felt dawn break in the east. For centuries, the creeping light of dawn had been his signal to seek shelter away from the damaging light of the sun. It had sapped him of energy and sent him into a sleep that was as close to death as he could come. Only dire circumstances had been able to rouse him when the sun ruled the sky, and then only to a semi-conscious state.
    But Ian greeted this new dawn with more vigor than he’d ever felt. It sizzled through his veins in a dance of glory, though he counseled himself silently to not get his hopes up. A few sips of demi-vampir blood might give him a boost in energy, but it didn’t necessarily mean he’d be able to go sunbathing anytime soon.
    Though Ian would sacrifice a great deal to just be able to glimpse the earth bathed in sunlight one more time, he would not risk the new happiness he’d found with Jena. Joined as they were now, if one of them felt pain, the other would too, and the bond would only grow and deepen over time. They were one now, never to be apart again in this realm.
    It was his greatest joy. Greater even than the fantastical, forbidden idea of seeing the sun again after over eight hundred years.
    “Mmm, what time is it?” Jena’s groggy voice reached his ears as he contemplated their future.
    “Dawn.”
    Jena sat up, wiping sleep from her eyes. “I need a shower.”
    Ian pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her disheveled hair. “I love how you look, all rumpled from making love with me.”
    Jena chuckled and pushed away. “You’re sweet, but I’m a wreck.” She pulled at the sheets, trying to disentangle herself. “Ew, and so is this bed.” Jena stood and pulled the sheets off, tossing them to the floor as she headed toward the attached bathroom. “There are clean sheets on the top shelf of the closet if you want to freshen up the place a bit. If not, I’ll do it when I get out of the shower.” She stopped by the bathroom door, her hand on the knob. “You do want to sleep here with me today, right?”
    She looked so lovely, standing there, gloriously rumpled and nude, her body showing every sign of their loving the night before. Her thighs were slippery with their cum, her nipples and other soft spots pink from his attentions.
    Ian couldn’t stay away from her.
    He moved across the room and swept her into his arms, kissing her
