his hips, dug my fingers into his ass, and swiveled my hips, moaning low.
He kept up the tempo of painstakingly slow withdrawals followed by fast lunges that filled me. My back slammed against the soft mattress as Camden’s hips pumped, sending his cock hard and deep into me. He grabbed my hips in a punishing grip I knew would leave marks later as sweat dripped from his face onto my chest. I writhed underneath him, desperate for the climax quickly building within me, and slammed my hips upward, meeting him for each and every thrust.
" Tá mo chroí istigh ionat ,” he whispered the unfamiliar words into my ear, his hot breath sending another wave of shivers down my spine.
“Harder,” I begged, nearly delirious with pleasure.
He slid his hands under my back and lifted so he could reach my breasts. Lowering his mouth, he wrapped his lips around a nipple and sucked deep. My pussy fluttered and he held still for a moment, planted firmly inside me.
“Brace yourself,” he commanded before moving his mouth to my shoulder and biting down hard.
As soon as I cried out at the sting, he began to thrust wildly. He gave me exactly what I’d asked for, his cock slamming against my cervix with each buck of his hips.
“Camden!” I screamed as my pussy walls began tightening around him. My head fell back and my eyes closed as my climax hit me.
“Eyes on me.”
I was barely able to keep my head up, but I managed to keep my gaze on him. His eyes flared as they locked with mine and he grabbed my hips tight, lifting me to meet him with each stroke. His balls slapped against my ass and another climax rolled through me. The tightening of my pussy must have sent him over the edge too. His cock jerked inside me before his semen splashed against my pussy walls.
It was done. He’d taken me as his mate, his body laying claim to my own. It was entirely possible his dad and my mom were both still downstairs, but I didn’t care. Nothing mattered except this moment between us. It wasn’t important that he was a shifter and I a witch, or that his family was in danger from dark practitioners. The fact that we’d face obstacles from our own communities was insignificant. I didn’t even care that we were part of a prophecy destined to change both our worlds. Camden was the only thing that mattered to me now. I would protect him and what we’d found together at all costs. At that thought, there was a thundering roar outside as the earth trembled beneath us. I felt power surge through me and realized the day had finally come—I’d found my elemental affinity. My earth magic had snapped into place in a big way.
Chapter 5
Camden
I cradled Selene against me, compelled to protect her as the bed rattled beneath us. If my house came crashing down around us because of the unprecedented earthquake raging outside, I’d do my best to shield her body with my own. Nothing bad would ever happen to her again, not if I could help it.
“Camden!” The sound of footsteps pounding up the stairs followed my dad’s roar. Determined nobody else would see my mate like this, I grabbed the comforter and barely got us covered before the door to my bedroom crashed open.
“Get out!” I bellowed.
“Shit,” he swore and turned away until he was facing the door he’d just thrown open. “I’m sorry, son, but I needed to make sure you were okay. That her magic hadn’t hurt you.”
Selene stiffened beneath me, the only sign of how much his words had hurt her. I slid my hands down her arms soothingly, offering my reassurance while glaring at my father’s back. “Wait for us downstairs. We’ll be down in a minute.”
She waited until the door closed behind him to speak. “I’d never do anything to hurt you. You have to know that, Camden. I know I’m a witch and shifters don’t trust us, but please tell me you know I wouldn’t hurt you.”
“If anyone had told me to place my trust in a witch a couple of days ago, I would have told them they were
