Magnus’ p.o.v. I look over my shoulder at Elder Major and both of us realize what is waiting for us further down the hall. “We need to be careful. They have been through a lot and might not want a Mate at the moment.” Elder Major whispers. We have barely taken two steps when the door to Zaphara and Milcah's bedroom opens and Milcah peeks around the corner of the doorframe. She stares at both of us and I slowly approach the woman our Goddess paired me with. “You are in control. Milcah. I am not going to tell you what to do, nor will I force you to do something you are not ready for.” I say as I reach out my hand. I want her to understand that I mean every word and that she gets to decide for herself, for once in her life. I can sense Lyrexia near the surface and Gilliam is wagging his tail like a happy puppy. Both of them are happy to be near their Mate and even if I only get to hold Milcah during the night, I will take it. What I wasn’t expecting is Milcah jumping into my arms, her arms wrapped tightly around my neck and I bury my face in her neck to inhale her scent. “Would you mind getting out of the way?” Elder Major asks. “I would like to see my Mate, if you don’t mind.” Milcah lifts her head to look at him and then over her shoulder at her Mother, who is patiently waiting for us to move. I look into Milcah’s eyes as I start walking toward my room. I need to make sure that she is okay with this. She places her head on my shoulder, getting comfortable in my arms and after a small struggle, I manage to open my bedroom door. I kick it closed with my foot before I walk over to my bed and sit down on my bed with Milcah still in my arms. I feel her hands moving on my back and I pull her a little closer to have as little room as possible between our bodies. Milcah moves in my lap and I release a soft groan as she puts pressure on my groin. For a moment, she sits still, but then moves a little and this time I don’t try to hold my groan in. I grab her hips to stop her from moving, because I don’t want this to go too fast or for her to do something she isn’t ready for. She disapproves of my attempt to slow things down and start wiggling her ass around. “Damn, Baby. I won’t be able to stop if you keep this up.” I mumble into her neck and that sentence seems to ignite something in her. She moans as she wiggles a little more and I push my rock-hard cock against her clit. Gilliam growls softly as we smell the scent of her arousal and I start moving her hips back and forth. Putting more pressure on her clit with every move, enjoying each little moan that escapes her. Her hands make their way to the front of my body and she starts unbuttoning my shirt at a leisurely pace. She has more clothing to deal with than I do, which is a benefit of her being in her nightwear and I slowly lift her top over her head.“Are you sure, Baby?” I ask, once we are both naked. “We don’t have to do this.” She pulls my head down to kiss me and I know there is no stopping this anymore. Milcah will be mine and I will be hers by morning. I place kisses on her cheek before I make my way down to her breasts and I feel her fingers running through my hair, grabbing it to pull me closer to her body. While I suck one nipple into my mouth, my hand is playing with her other nipple. I make a trail of kisses going down her ribcage and abdomen, before I place one of her legs over my shoulder. I let a finger slide through her soaking wet slit, before I slowly push it inside her and she gasps as I slowly move my finger in and out of her core. “Please, Magnus.” She begs as I lower my head toward her body and I suck her clit into my mouth, while I pick up the pace on pushing my finger in and out of her core. I start sucking her clit harder and harder, while pushing a second finger into her body and I let my free hand travel up her body. Milcah screams my name as I gently pinch her nipple and she comes all over my fingers. I slow down my assault on her pussy and I kiss my way up her body, giving her time to catch her breath. I keep myself placed between her legs and move my cock through her slit, coating it with her pussy juices. It finds its way to her core on its own and I feel it disappear inside her, inch by inch. My mouth finds hers and the moment I feel her relax a little, I push my cock all the way in. I keep still when I bottom out and allow her body to adjust to my size before I start pulling back. Only the head of my cock is still inside her when I break our kiss and I look into her eyes as I push back into her body. I repeat my movement over and over, until I feel confident enough to pick up the pace. I am so damn glad that I waited for my fated Mate for this, because I doubt anyone else could have made it feel this good. Milcah pushes her hips toward me, meeting me halfway with every thrust into her core and I start pushing harder and faster into her. Gilliam is near the surface, watching our Mate as we push her closer to the abyss. I see Lyrexia near the surface and her canines elongate, ready to mark us as their Mate. I lower my body to close the gap between us and give Milcah access to the one thing I will never let anyone else come close to, my exposed neck. The moment we both sink our teeth into the other’s neck, I feel her coming again and this time I come with her. I feel how my cum spurts into her body, one long spurt after the other. After cleaning her wound, I collapse on the bed beside her and pull her closer to my body. “Thank you for being my first, Milcah. I love you more than I will ever be able to show you.” I say to her before I place a kiss on the top of her head. “Thank you for waiting for me, Magnus. I love you, too.” She whispers and before I can say anything else, I hear her breathing even out.
