"Why you?" I prodded.
He repeated his actions. Fucking me deep down my throat before pulling out again. His control was impressive. The groans that spilled from deep inside his chest were erotic and I wanted more.
"Because it was my absolution."
His words had me frozen, my brows slanted in confusion.
"Stand up, Gabby." Pulling me up by the back of my head where his hand had never wavered.
I followed his movements, lifting myself up on shaky legs.
"The car I told you about? It was your parents. I died that night but so did they."
Those damn tears overflowed once again and Hunter bent down to kiss them away. Skilled hands caressed every part of my naked flesh, his whispers of apology blew over my skin and seeped into my soul.
This was closure.
Blessed closure.
I had assumed some drunken idiot had taken them away. But no, it was an accident. Nothing more, nothing less.
"Kiss me, Hunter. Heal me with your touch."
Bending at the knees, Hunter lifted me into his arms and as our mouths fused with unleashed passion. His cock was nestled tightly against my abdomen but I wanted him elsewhere. I wanted him inside of me. I needed him to be one with me.
"Hunter, please. I need..."
"What do you need, Gabby?"
"You. All of you. Always."
"For eternity, baby. You and me. For eternity." He repeated before bruising my lips with his hunger.
He let himself fall on the bed, his back hitting the down comforter and his arms locked around me as though holding a priceless treasure. We laughed, our moods in complete contrast with the heavy subjects of conversation.
But for the first time in my existence, I felt light. I felt I could breathe and not drown. I finally felt like a living being.
How ironic that it was in death that I would actually find life.
"Hunter?"
"Yeah, Spunky?"
"I love you."
"I know."
I burst out laughing, my head thrown back. When I looked back down at my soul mate, he was staring at me with so many emotions swimming in his eyes that I felt the sudden stirrings of ravenous desire.
"Take me, Hunter. Please." I begged him, my mouth sliding across his with the movement of my words.
Large hands lifted me by the waist and mere seconds later, Hunter was pushing inside of me. His entire being sliding down the walls of my slick pussy. My hands fell to either side of his head as my knees trapped his hips. We stilled, our bodies fusing into one entity. Our gazes locked and our breaths mingling with each exhale.
"You feel so perfect, Gabby. Just like I knew you would." His words were a balm to my soul.
"I never thought it could be this powerful. This pure." With a sharp rock of his hips, Hunter pushed further inside, burying himself deeper than I thought possible.
"Yes. Please, yes." I cajoled, my hips meeting his rhythm, thrust for thrust.
Sliding his hands up my back and onto my shoulders, he twisted himself up and over and in an instant, I was on my back looking up at the most enthralling man I had ever met.
His mouth crashed to mine again, his hips giving me sharp, deep thrusts and hitting my sweet spot over and over again. We were both panting, nirvana just out of reach but closing in on us at a fast pace.
When Hunter's mouth left mine, my lips parted in a silent cry for more. .
Raining open-mouthed kisses down the length of my neck, he gently bit the flesh until he reached my aching breasts, my greedy nipples. His tongue circled my erect nipple before taking it deep into his mouth and opening a direct line to my clenching pussy.
"We're two pieces of one puzzle, Gabby, and together we create the big picture. Can you feel it? "
My hands dove into his messy hair and I held on for dear life as he devoured every inch of my skin available to him. His body was a vessel of carnal need but his mouth was a direct source of love.
He was consuming me and giving me everything he had.
He was fusing our souls and holding nothing back.
"Oh Hunter!"
"Come for me, angel. Come all over me." His command wrapped in a plea was my undoing. My entire body gave up the fight. The walls of my pussy tightened so forcefully, I was afraid I would hurt him. But with his hands buried in my hair and his mouth attacking mine anew, we both let ourselves go into a tornado of bliss and a rollercoaster of emotions.
We cried out in ecstasy.
We let go of the past.
We embraced our futures.
We both came back to life and gave in to death. On our terms. With our bodies and souls.
We fused.
Forever.
Chapter 16~ Hunter
Making love to Gabby was beyond any fantasy or dream I could have conjured up myself. I had waited so long for us to be together that I never thought it would actually happen. She was young, she had her entire life to live out among the mortals. I was ready to wait. Had prepared myself for the long years on the sideline until the fateful day she would pass on to my world.
That day came much sooner than expected. As much as I yearned to make her mine, I wanted her to live a long life, hoped she would be happy despite her rough start.
Lying on my back with Gabby's long blonde hair loosely twisted between my fingertips, I let my mind wander to that fateful night. I froze when her breath hitched, her head resting snugly against my chest, her sleepy breaths caressing my heated skin.
I was angry when she
