Chapter 181: Rekindling
**Avery**
With the ground beneath us trembling with the weight of our purpose, we push forward. Donn’s presence beside me is a steadying force, his hand entwined with mine, eyes reflecting the determination burning within us both. The waterfall roars in the distance, a backdrop to the raw, primal energy that surges between us. We’ve come here to fuck, to reclaim our strength, to remind ourselves of the power that lies within our bond.
I pull him close, my fingers digging into the black leather of his jacket, my lips crashing against his in a kiss that’s both desperate and tender. His taste is intoxicating, a mix of darkness and sweetness, like the night sky kissed by the first light of dawn. His hands slide down my back, gripping my hips, pulling me against him so I can feel the hardness of his desire pressing against my thigh.
“We’re not done yet,” he growls against my lips, his voice a low rumble that sends shivers down my spine. “Not until we’ve burned this darkness to ash.”
I nod, my breath coming in short gasps as I break the kiss, my eyes locking with his. “Then let’s remind ourselves why we fight.”
I push him back, my hands roaming over his chest, unbuttoning his jacket, sliding it off his shoulders. His body is a work of art, lean and muscular, every inch of him etched with the marks of a warrior. I trace the lines of his abs, my fingers dipping lower, unbuckling his belt, sliding his pants down his thighs. He steps out of them, his eyes never leaving mine, his smirk growing as he watches me undress.
My gown falls to the ground, pooling at my feet, leaving me bare before him. The cool air kisses my skin, but the heat between us is undeniable. I step closer, my hands reaching for him, my fingers wrapping around his throbbing cock. He hisses, his head tilting back, his body tensing as I stroke him slowly, deliberately, my touch both gentle and firm.
“You’re mine,” I whisper, my voice thick with desire. “And I’m yours. Nothing can take that away.”
He grabs my wrist, pulling my hand away, his eyes blazing with a hunger that mirrors my own. “Prove it,” he challenges, his voice a command.
I don’t hesitate. I push him to his knees, his long black hair falling around his face as he looks up at me, his eyes dark with need. I straddle him, positioning myself above him, my hands gripping his shoulders as I lower myself onto him, taking him inch by inch, his cock filling me completely.
He groans, his hands gripping my hips, his thumbs brushing the sensitive skin of my inner thighs. “Ride me,” he demands, his voice rough, his eyes never leaving mine.
I do. I move with him, my body rising and falling, my breasts bouncing with each thrust, my hair cascading around us like a curtain of fire and gold. The sound of our bodies meeting, the wetness of our passion, fills the air, a symphony of desire that drowns out the world around us.
I lean forward, my hands pressing against his chest, my lips brushing his ear as I whisper, “We’re unstoppable… unbreakable.”
His hands slide up my back, his fingers digging into my skin as he pulls me closer, his hips thrusting harder, faster, his cock driving deep inside me. I feel him, every inch of him, filling me, claiming me, reminding me of the strength we share.
“Cum with me,” he growls, his voice a command I can’t resist.
My body tightens around him, my walls clenching, my orgasm crashing over me like a wave, my cry echoing through the forest. He follows, his body stiffening, his cock pulsing inside me, his seed spilling into me, marking me, binding us even tighter.
We collapse together, our breaths coming in ragged gasps, our hearts pounding in unison. I rest my head on his chest, my hand tracing the lines of his tattoos, my fingers tangling in his hair.
“We’re ready,” I murmur, my voice soft but resolute.
He nods, his hand stroking my back, his touch soothing, grounding. “Let’s end this.”
We rise, our bodies still glowing with the aftermath of our passion, our bond stronger than ever. We return to our mates, to Cassius, Clint, Conner, James, and Vincent, their presence a reminder of the family we’ve built, the strength we share.
Together, we summon the Dark Entity, its form looming before us, a shadow of malice and despair. We stand united, a circle of power, our magic intertwining, our resolve unshakable.
“You will no longer be welcomed here,” I declare, my voice ringing with authority. “You are banished from Altima and the In-Between, my territory! Your reign of terror ends now.”
I step forward, my new Reaper ability surging within me, a force of light and justice. I raise my hand, my power crackling around me, and with a single, decisive motion, I end the darkness.
The entity dissipates, its screams echoing into nothingness. The air clears, the forest sighs in relief, and the Goddess appears before us, her presence radiant, her smile warm.
“Well done, my queen,” she says, her voice filled with pride. “You’ve proven yourself worthy of your crown, of your mates, of your destiny.”
And as the Goddess fades, leaving us in the quiet of the forest, I know that the darkness is gone, and the light of our love will guide us forever.
