When she had his buckle open, and his fly down, he was harder than he’d ever been in his whole life. His dick ached for her touch, to be buried in her, and to take her body in sweaty abandon.

Only, he knew the cost.

He knew the price.

Her life.

Dakota loving her would only end one way.

With her leaving.

He’d loved Elizabeth LaRue more than anything when he’d met her. They’d dated, they’d fornicated, and he knew that she’d protect his heart.

When he proposed in that restaurant, he saw the horror on her face and heard the no, and then, she left him behind.

That was strike one to his heart.

Then, he’d been given a trainee, and he’d taught her well, and in the process, he broke the rules.

He took her to bed even though she was half of his age, and off-limits.

He’d been recovering from his partner’s murder, and hearing her being tortured to death. He wasn’t thinking, but his dick was.

Then, she followed him, and he made her his wife because he couldn’t bear to be alone anymore.

That had been a huge mistake.

Looking back, he felt like he owed her that. While he loved Sarah, she wanted a different kind of a life. She wanted kids and to let Bunny run free.

He wanted to save people, and be someone’s hero.

Only, what made him attracted to her was that she needed protecting.

Until she didn’t.

Then, there was Eve.

He’d craved her, desired her, and found solace in her body. He swore he’d never touch another woman for as long as he lived after his wife died not because Sarah was his soulmate.

Because he was living his penance.

He still broke that oath of celibacy with the fairy queen, as they fornicated and fought some emotional battle.

And now, she had him pinned to a tree.

How could this go wrong?

His arms felt so heavy as she pulled his erection from his pants.

He watched her, captivated, and mesmerized by the fact that the water was receding, and they were no longer in a swamp.

It was more of a forest.

“This is where you want to have sex with me,” she said. “It’s your dream and your fantasy,” she added as if she was privy to his private thoughts.

Dakota needed to know.

“Are you real?” he asked, as she had his erection out of his pants so fast, it was making his brain spin.
