Page 63 of Legend of Scorpio
But he wasn’t done. He kept going, toying with her sensitized flesh, taking the dying ripples of her first orgasm and stoking them, building up the tautness again, making her whimper with need.
Only then did he lift his head from her sex. He wrapped an arm around her waist and drew her to the edge of the couch, where his cock waited. He buried himself deep, and she sighed at the relief and pleasure of having him fill her.
Their lips joined once more as he pumped her pliant flesh. She moaned against his mouth as her pussy squeezed him tight. When she came for a second time, she clenched hard, and he shouted, “Fuck yeah.”
They came together in a big bang of an explosion that had her seeing more than just stars. She saw right into the heart of Scorpio. The man who’d changed her universe. A warrior who’d taught her courage. A lover who made good on his promise and pleasured her for hours.
And what did you know. It was more satisfying than science.
EPILOGUE
In the weeksthat followed the Cetus and orb incident, things returned to normal. Kind of. Scorpio had changed, and he wasn’t the only one.
It took a few days to notice Rebecca hadn’t returned to the same person she used to be. On the contrary, it took Leo pointing out, “Your woman’s got a sparkle to her now,” for Scorpio to realize that whatever had happened during those missing hours had transformed her. While not a Zodiac Warrior, her genetics, once studied, showed signs of star enhancement. He should have known, seeing as how she no longer worried about hot and cold, she’d become stronger, and, even more astonishing, could use the portals without aid.
Libra, who took an interest in the biology of the Zodiacs, seemed convinced she’d enjoy the same long life span as them as well, which meant Scorpio, who’d always had a fear of commitment, didn’t have to worry about losing her to old age. A good thing, since he didn’t see himself tiring of her anytime soon.
Monroe might have been an asshole, but he’d been right about one thing. They were bonded. A man and a woman fromtwo different worlds who’d found each other in spite of the odds and fallen in love.
It proved more fulfilling than expected, if bruising to his fists. He returned to the suite sucking his knuckles, which arched Rebecca’s brow.
“Who did you hit this time?”
“Pisces.”
“Dare I ask why?”
Because Pisces sang,“Scorpio and Rebecca sitting on the moon, both smiling like big buffoons. First comes love, then comes?—"
Smack.
Since Scorpio doubted she’d understand why the smirk needed to be wiped from his bro’s face, he chose to reply, “It’s a guy thing.”
At his reply, she shook her head but smiled. “You can’t punch everyone who teases you about finally getting a steady girlfriend.”
“Yeah, I can,” his sulky reply.
“They’re just jealous.”
“How do you figure that?”
“Because you’re getting epic sex every night. Day. Morning.” Her lips curved. “It probably drives them nuts to see how happy you are.”
“I am happy.” More than he’d ever imagined, and he owed it all to his Doc.
He swung her around until she squealed. “Enough or I’ll puke on you.”
He stopped but only so he could kiss her and say the words he’d never thought would pass his lips: “I love you.”
Her amused reply? “I know.”
The weekssince they’d found the orb had left Sage out of sorts. Despite her claiming pregnancy hormones, Aries had a feeling something more churned inside her mysterious brain.
She spent hours in the observatory, watching the stars in a trance, and he’d wager he knew why. The day they’d taken down Cetus and Rebecca disappeared with the orb—which was never recovered—he’d found his wife in the portal room, standing over the blank thirteenth dais. Only it was no longer blank.
“What’s that?” he asked, eyeing the chunk of stone filling a third of it.
Sage had glanced at him, and her eyes glossed over with a faraway look as she murmured, “That which was lost is soon to be found. Chaos and turmoil will precede their arrival. The world shall tremble before their might. That which betrayal sundered shall be made whole, and the whole universe shall tremble as the thirteenth Zodiac returns.”
