“I love you,” I gasped as his teeth bit in deeper, the heat of his mouth its own soothing balm. And when he released, I felt the happiest rumble from him behind me.
“I love you, too, Felicia. With all my soul.”
He turned my head toward him and crashed his lips against mine. I could taste my blood as well as my own climax, yet it didn’t repulse me. No, it was just evidence of everything we’d done. Proof that I wasn’t having the world’s most vivid dream.
While we were kissing, emotions thick between us, he pulled his hips back and started to fuck me. Slow at first, with him swallowing up my mewls and whines, but picking up in speed as we finally broke our kiss.
Harder, faster, it all built up in a wild crescendo of passion-flesh hitting flesh, his grunts and praises, my whimpers and begging. Two halves of the same coin, him covering for my weaknesses and me covering his.
Somehow, in the wild haze of my mind, I recalled a legend that I’d heard of ages ago. Ancient Grecians believed humans used to have two heads, four legs, and four arms, but they had been split by the cruelty of the gods who were jealous of their union, and so humanity was ripped apart, with each half desperately looking for the one they’d always been meant for.
That was Cas and me, and finally, after so many years forced apart, we had were together. In mind, body, and soul.
Us.
As we were always meant to be.
“Cas, I’m coming!” I cried as I felt that white-hot wave beginning to rush through me, starting at my middle and quickly spreading everywhere else. It was dazzling, truly, a sun that felt like it was about to swallow me whole.
“Then come for me, sweetheart. My darling. My mate.”
Fuck, if that didn’t do it for me. That sun swallowed me whole and my entire body was racked with pleasure. Vaguely, I felt Cas going absolutely wild behind me, his nails digging into my skin as he chased his own orgasm, but it was a pale echo behind my own ecstasy.
My orgasm seemed to last forever, especially with Cas spilling into me, that white-hot seed of his upping the intensity of everything. It was heaven, pure heaven, and I couldn’t believe the two of us got to feel it.
When we finally eased from our climaxes, I swore I nearly collapsed, but Cas caught me and managed to get us over to his couch, where we both sank like sacks of potatoes, limbs all tangled together on his massive sectional.
“I love you,” Cas murmured, kissing the top of my head. It was simple, and yet it was the perfect thing I needed.
“I love you too,” I answered. “Forever.”
“Forever,” he affirmed.
That sleepy haze was fierce now, and my eyelids drooped. I had no desire to fight the dreams, because I was more content than I had ever thought was possible, finally having the solid ground under my feet that I had been looking for, for so long.
In my heart, I knew that I was exactly where I was supposed to be.
The McCallister pack was where I was supposed to spend the rest of my life.
I wasn’t alone anymore, and I never would be.
I had found my happily ever after, and it truly was better than I ever thought possible.c41P
Epilogue
Castiel
“You almost ready, babe?” Felicia called from my bedroom.
I nearly jumped out of my skin, bumping my knee against the bathroom counter.
Get yourself together! I chided myself as I looked into the mirror.
“I’m good,” I said, trying to sound like myself with mixed success. Well, I certainly hadn’t picked up any convincing acting in the year and a half since the reunion that had made me go into the city to get emergency baked goods.
“Are you sure you’re all right?” Felicia asked, peeking her head around the doorway and nearly making me exit the mortal coil all over again. “You seem a bit… jumpy.”
“Me?” I asked, trying to play dumb. You’d think I’d be better at that given the puns I loved torturing Felicia with, but it sounded hollow to my ears. Quickly, I tried to think of a convincing cover. “Just excited for this new restaurant. It feels like we haven’t had time for a date in forever.”
“Sorry, graduation season has been killer. I’ve had more orders in these past two months than my entire first year of being open.”
I crossed to her, grateful for the distraction but also because I loved supporting my partner. “Hey, you never have to apologize for your success,” I said, drawing her into my arms. “I know you’re making extra super-duper sure that you’re financially stable enough to bring on another employee full time.”
“I just wanna make sure that if I’m hiring Auntie Letitia, I have enough to pay for her full hours and benefits.”
“And you have. But let’s leave the bakery and the pack behind for now and enjoy our date, shall we?”
She grinned up at me, looking like both an angel and a demon of temptation in her ruby-red dress, her hair done up in a bow with an intricate series of curls falling down the nape of her long, elegant neck. She’d been so busy ever since kicking the fairies’ asses, she hadn’t had her hair cut once. It was even longer than when I first met her. I loved it. It gave me even more to grab in certain positions.
“Sounds like a good idea. All work and no play makes Felicia a dull girl.”
I kissed her hard and fiercely, hoping her lipstick would withstand the move. When I pulled back from her, she leaned forward, as if she was trying to follow me, a hazy expression on her face that never failed to get me going. “You could never be dull,” I rumbled.
“You know… we could always stay home,” Felicia murmured, pressing up against me.
It was tempting all right, but not tonight. I had worked myself up to this night for months. It was the perfect time now that things were calm again with the pack and the graduation season had ended, so we could truly have a night for just the two of us.
