Phoenix growled, his mouth meeting mine with eagerness. I felt the desire flood me like a tidal wave and I dug my fingers into his neck. This must be the beginning of my heat. My every fibre was coming alive to his touch.

His hands dug deeper into my hips, holding me so tightly. It felt amazing to be held by someone so large. Our lips pressed deeper into each other and when he began to nibble on the flesh, I moaned. His tongue dived into the warmth of my mouth and he left open-mouthed, quick kisses as he tasted me.

My hands gripped at his shirt, my head falling backwards in ecstasy. I breathed in air through shaky lungs and he took his opportunity to suck at my neck. He trailed his lips along my throat and down my collar bone, leaving small love bites in his wake.

I instinctively ground against him when he sucked on my mark; the magic never failed to make me hungry. The bond was fuelling against it, feeding off the flames of passion as my heat approached. It had been months since we met; it was desperate for attention. It was no surprise that I felt so eager so easily.

"Nova..." He breathed, his lips pressed against my throat. "The restraint I am dealing with right now... is killing me... If you don't want me to go any further, please...tell me."

If it was possible, I felt the desire light up my body even more.

My body felt on fire, everywhere he touched left licks of heat against my skin. When I didn't answer, he lifted his head from my neck to look at my face. I had been biting on my lip again, a habit I will never be free from, and his eyes dropped to my mouth with a muffled groan. So I answered him the only way I felt was right, and that was to kiss him.

He was shocked at my initiation but didn't take him long before he pushed back just as eager. His hands roamed my sides, tickling at my skin. I laughed and swatted them away which only caused him to grin against my lips. I was soon lifted, his hands coming to wrap my legs around his waist.

His mouth stayed firmly planted on my chin and jaw, nibbling at the skin as he carried me away. We ended up back in his bedroom and I flushed at the messed-up sheets from this morning.

Phoenix leaned from my body to stare at me. I was higher than him right now and found looking down at him so sexually enthralling. He smirked at me and just as I went to shoot a remark at him, I felt myself falling. I screamed as I fell but ended up laughing as my back bounced off of the bed. I looked back at him, cursing his name at the shock. He merely grinned at me, crawling over my body lying on the bed.

He silenced my laughter with his mouth, one hand keeping his weight from me as the other trailed up my shirt to cup my breast. He growled when his fingers found the delicate fabric and I was glad I had been so bold to choose the green lace set. His thumb trailed fire over me and I felt them harden through the fabric in response.

I clutched at the fabric of his shirt, trying to bunch it up for him to take off. I wanted to feel him, to feel his skin against mine. I wanted to admire the way his body moved, the way his little scars glistened in the sunlight through the window.

He took the hint and pulled his hand from my chest to yank the shirt over his head in one swift motion. I shuffled on the bed, my hands immediately making contact with the muscles of his stomach and chest. I released a deep growl, letting him know that I appreciated his body.

He hovered over me, his pupils dilating with lust. His hand roamed the fabric of my top and I shyly nodded to him. He placed a gentle kiss on my mouth before helping me rid myself of the fabric. When his eyes met the green lace of my bra, I felt the grumble of his own appreciation vibrate my senses.

His mouth came down to my chest, small kisses pressed to my skin. I arched my back as his tongue moved lower, running along the top of the lace. I moaned, my hands clutching at his waist and pulling him closer so his lower half rested on me. He chuckled against my skin, sending goosebumps over my flesh as his hot breath fanned me.

He leaned away for a moment to gaze down at me again. I didn't have it in me to feel self-conscious. I was assured the Phoenix did not mind how I looked. His eyes cast over my scars, my burns, my still-thin limbs and ribs. He didn't care, and I found that when I looked into his eyes of wonder, neither did I. I felt so safe here with Phoenix, so loved.

"I want all of you," I whispered.

His eyes flashed to my face in surprise, the darkened lust disappearing in an instant. I had scared Ares away, and Cel was barking in laughter at her counterpart. Phoenix was pressed against my hips, his body lowering so he was on his elbows looking down at me. His hands found a stray hair and smoothed it behind my ear as he gazed down at me. His hazel honey eyes studied my own, a frown on his face as he searched for a sign of my bluff.

"Nova, do you realise what you just told me?" He wondered.

I nodded, licking my lips, his eyes followed. "I do, and I mean it Phoenix. I want all of you."

"Are you sure?"

I laughed, grabbing his cheeks once again. "Just kiss me dammit, I'm sure."

He grinned as I smushed his face with mine once again. It didn't take long for his hands to wander, cupping at my breasts and pawing at the button on my jeans. His hands fumbled with the button, so I pushed him gently to move. He slid off of me without any more resistance and stared down at me in confusion. I smirked this time, taking in a deep breath as I summoned every ounce of confidence I had and stood to my feet. I unbuttoned my jeans, keeping my eyes on him as I bent down to pull them off my legs.

His eyes never left mine, but once I stood back to full height, they dropped to eye me. A hunger in his eyes, his post-shift shorts were yanked off in earnest, revealing, once again, his naked ass.

"Do you ever wear boxers?" I teased.

With his eyes darkening he smirked at me before embracing me in a flurry of kisses. He devoured me, and as much as I fought for it, he won. My lips felt bruised, my skin purple with kisses as he lay me on the bed and kissed me everywhere. He was kissing my scars, my cuts, every piece of skin he could even right down to my ankle bone.

I was more than ready for this.

His face came to line up with the green lace that covered my crotch and I blushed. Memories of him flashed into my brain and I clenched my thighs together at the thoughts. He grimaced, prying them apart as his fingers found their way between them. I moaned at the satisfaction as he began to touch me.

"I like this underwear set." He mumbled before suddenly he yanked the bottoms to the ground.

I jumped slightly but the sudden contact of his mouth on me had me arching into him. I groaned, my body burning with heat as he devoured me.

My hands grabbed fistfuls of his hair, pulling his head up to my mouth as I drank in his lips. I was eager for him, my body humming and aching with need. I felt it, deep within my core; the need for him. I shifted my foot slightly, running along his calf with an eagerness to wrap them around him and not let go.

"Are you ready?" He breathed when he pulled away from me.

"Please, Phoenix." I moaned.

He didn't need any more encouragement and the hand beside my head moved to grip the headboard. I felt my toes curl, a sudden nervousness hitting me as reality set in. He looked up at me, his hazel eyes looking at me in wonder. Despite the initial nerves, I knew I wanted this. I wanted all of him.

I nodded and he kissed my hair before he gave into the desire. I had tensed when we began to join our bodies together, and he sensed it, stopping his movements. He dropped his head to pepper kisses along my jaw. The slight soreness I felt as he held himself steady within me, had my toes curling with discomfort.

"It's okay, my love, just relax." He soothed.

I nodded and succumbed, relaxing my muscles which allowed him to continue. He lowered his hand from the headboard to lay on his elbow as the other caressed my jaw. Ever so slowly he continued his movements, gently moving his hips against mine as I adjusted. My eyebrows furrowed at the strange new and slow sensation, but I found every nerve become alight with new pleasure.

It felt like my every cell was on fire; like I could never get enough of him. My hands clawed at his shoulders and neck and he growled into my skin when I pulled on his hair. I begged him to go harder, my body feeling like I couldn't get enough of every thrust.

I moaned, throwing my head back and losing the intense lock he had on my gaze. My spine tingled, my knees shaking around him as our desire intensified. The bond was thrumming, on the edge of our pleasures. I felt my head swim, my every nerve spasming with touch. The bond was growing, ready to secure itself with the finale of our mating. I felt Phoenix's every emotion, every pleasure through the bond as he did mine.

I writhed on the sheets as my head swam, my lungs feeling restricted for air.

"Phoenix-I..." I gasped, my eyes flying open.

He growled, holding my gaze as our love blossomed to my ending. It was all too much and I found my body reaching the peak as he was deep inside of me, hitting every single nerve inside of me.

My heart beat wildly as I felt myself come undone. I moaned his name, my legs clutching at him with vigour.

The sudden warmth of his mouth came down to my neck as he pulled my head back, shortening my breathing. His teeth sank into my mark, consummating the bond once again. And then he was climaxing with me, the animalistic sounds he released made me flutter around him.

I felt him relax, his tight muscles loosen their hold on me. His hand left my hair as his teeth pulled out of my neck. The rush of the bond hit me like a tidal wave as he licked away the blood. His hands ran along my sides, relaxing my muscles as he cleaned up his bloody mark.

I felt no pain, just pure soothing pleasure as he gently rolled me and I was overcome with the sudden wave of exhaustion. He laid me on my side, coming in front of me to nibble on my sensitive mark, still joined together. My heart beat quickly in my chest, thrumming as my soul joined together with Phoenix's. I felt his breaths, his emotions and every pulse of his heart. Our souls as one it felt as thought our hearts beat together. I felt complete and whole, never realising that this was what I had been missing my whole life.

I was exhausted with happiness.

"You okay, my love?" He purred.

"Yes." I breathed, blinking slowly.

"Sleepy?" He wondered, his hands tickling down my sides.

I shook my head, trying to shake the sudden dizziness. "Yeah..."

"That's just the mate bond. Your mind and body rest afterwards to adapt to the full bond and to settle the heat down." He explained, calming my mind.

He must have sensed my nerves of slipping into a coma again, and pressed a kiss to the nape of my neck.

"Oh," I mumbled, snuggling into his chest. "Okay."

"Sleep Nova, I'll be right here. I got you." He muttered, his voice becoming distant.

I nodded, humming in contentment as I lay against him. The sparks were lesser now, my body red hot from our encounter. I was so happy, so pleased, to finally have my mate, to be tied to him as one.

My mate.

"I love you, Phoenix," I muttered.

He was quiet for a moment but my tired mind didn't care as it began to shut down. Just as I fell into the unconscious world, I heard him speak softly back.

"I love you even more, Nova."
