another man touching her any
more than she could a woman touching him.
    “Claim me, mate,” she challenged. “Then anyone who came
before will be wiped away.”
    Sure, she’d never forget anyone she’d ever cared about, but
Ray took her meaning. They’d never share the intensity of their joining with
anyone else. Nobody could compare.
    His mouth swooped down to claim hers again. Her lips were
tender from the unaccustomed use, but she didn’t care. She grabbed onto him,
holding him tight. But she wasn’t close enough. She snuggled higher until she
managed to climb his fine body and wrap her legs about his waist. His hard cock
pressed against her though his pants, and her hot core rubbed against the
fabric.
    The friction wasn’t enough.
    “Claim me, love,” she insisted and bit his ear. He hissed
and whirled around.
    He strode toward the wheelhouse, toward the fire that even
now threatened to flare out of control. But he didn’t go in, and he didn’t
bother trying to subdue the flames. Her back came up hard against the part of
the wheelhouse still unclaimed by fire. The force of slamming into the wall
brought some pain but it only added to the pleasure.
    “You wanted it. You’ll get it. You’ve been wanting my cock
for fourteen years, haven’t you, mage?” His words were harsh, but she knew it
was his reaction to the gut-searing effect of tearing down the walls he’d so
carefully erected for so long. Those walls had turned out to be ultimately
useless and unnecessary. To finally face that he’d kept them apart and lonely
for so long, it made his anger flare.
    But she was here to be his counterweight, and she could take
all that anger and soothe it in cooling, healing water.
    “I have. Take me. Take me, hard. I’m yours.”
    He pressed her into the boiling-hot wall as he removed his
hand from under her ass. He opened his zipper and guided his cock to her slit.
Then with a surge, he plowed into her, full, long, and hard in one stroke.
    His hands flattened against the wall and the only thing that
held her up was his cock and her legs around his hips.
    “Oh God. That’s good,” she practically purred.
    “It’ll get better,” he promised.
    “It couldn’t,” she teased, taunting him for more.
    He gave it to her. His hips pulled back in a short move and
thrust hard. He ground against her as he made short, hard thrusts. “You want
this joining? You want to accept me, to risk that that life may be cut short if
you’re weaker?”
    She dug her nails into his shoulders with a brutal grip. He
hissed and she knew she drew blood. “Who says I’d be weaker?”
    Accepting the reaction she expected, she hit her head
against the wall as she pressed back. He increased his thrusts, driving into
her over and over.
    The roar of the fire screamed and the heat of the burning
wood seeped into her spine.
    “I want to have you, Clarissa. Forever.” His voice cracked,
in tune with a roar of cackling fire.
    “You’re mine,” she answered and dug her nails in deeper.
“Always have been.”
    He whirled her around and took her to the deck, his cock
never leaving her. She arched from the wood surface as he continued his
thrusts, now going long and deep as he lifted her legs, spreading her open, and
pushed so far inside her she swore she’d never been fucked so deep. Her ankles
came around his neck as her body was helpless to the lust riding them.
    Her sensitive pussy clenched around his movements. She
palmed his ass, and as the intensity nearly overwhelmed her, she clawed into
him again, latching onto his muscular backside as he worked her. Inside her
core, she felt her power opening. Like it bloomed to life for the first time in
the heat of the sun, it unfurled.
    White blazed across her vision and her heart beat in time
with his. It did. She knew it did, deep inside her. Just as she knew he’d
reached out to her to join their para-talents in an unbreakable bond.
    He shouted and his hot come filled her again. She
