and biting.
    Gradually the fire subsided. They clung together, gasping for breath and soaked in sweat. She felt utterly sated and complete.
    “You are one wild woman,” he murmured at her neck. “I’m completely addicted to you.”
    “You’re pretty wild there yourself, baby,” she said with a short airy laugh. “I don’t think I can be without you too long—I’m taking you home with me.”
    He lifted his head. Curiosity brimmed in those captivating eyes. “Really…you’re taking me to your village…” He said in open disbelief.
    “You are my man, aren’t you?” She offered him a warm smile.
    “Hell yeah, I am.”
    “Then I’m taking you up on your offer for that immortal ride. After all, I need to shave some travel time after all these delays.”
    He didn’t say anything as they pulled themselves together but she could tell by his smile that she’d made him happy. As they prepared for the bizarre trip that would take them to Celestial Village, she wondered how a man of his stature would feel in her surreal colony. She didn’t expect the same awestruck reaction from Von as she’d seen in Raef.
    “Hey, pretty baby.” He gently caught her arm before she slid onto the seat behind him. “Remember when you said the other two women got what you can never have?”
    She furrowed her brows, a little upset that he brought up such a delicate subject right after they’d just made unbelievable crazy love. “Yes, but I’d rather not talk about that now.”
    “Hey…” His voice was gentle as he took her face between tender hands and placed a sweet kiss on her lips. “I’d never bring something up if I didn’t have a valid reason. I’d never hurt you like that.”
    She nodded weakly with a shrug. “Okay.”
    Von lovingly placed one hand over her bare midriff. “Our mating last night was more than just a joining of souls. You’re going to get what you want, and unlike the two wenches who stole from you, you’ll get to keep it.”
    She laid one hand over his, stunned by his words. “Our first mating got me pregnant? How do you know?”
    “When you’re immortal, you feel life forms differently, like an energy force. I felt your— our child stir in your womb while we made love just now.”
    “Are you sure?”
    “I wouldn’t tell you if I wasn’t. I’d never let you down that way.”
    “You felt my baby?” She glanced down at her stomach in awe.
    “ Our baby, Mon Coeur , yeah, I felt her. Maybe she didn’t like being hung upside down on her first day of existence,” he teased lightly.
    Overwhelmed by emotion, Flame half-laughed and half-cried. She stared at their hands on her stomach. “ Her ?”
    He nodded. “She’s going to be a knockout, too.”
    “Oh my god, this is unbelievable!” She threw her arms around his neck. “How did you do this on our first mating?”
    “I had some help, babe. Your body was extremely receptive to mine.” He hugged her back. “I take it that you’re happy about this? It won’t interfere with your warrior calling?”
    She gazed at him with misty eyes. “We didn’t plan this. She …is destiny. Perhaps my calling is headed in a new direction. Von, I can’t believe this, we’re having a child. I’m having your child.”
    “You have no idea how relieved I am.”
    “Did you think I wouldn’t want her?”
    “You are one badass warrior. I just wasn’t sure if you’d want this or if you even still wanted me.”
    “I hope the past few hours convinced you otherwise.”
    That easy smile she’d already grown to love swept over his face. “Yeah, I’m sure now or I’d not have told you yet.”
    “Why did you decide to tell me now?”
    “You deserve this. I sensed a deep sadness in you earlier over the past. I felt bad for holding out about Twilight’s attempt to use Naami and Raef against you. I don’t want to start our new life together with more secrets. I don’t want us to hold back on each other.”
    “Then why did you walk away from
