Ravyn POV
Seeing Jude come apart for her was one of the most beautiful experiences of her life.
He lay on top of her in a contented sprawl, his head resting on her breast, his eyes still glowing wolf gold. Satisfied, he kissed her breasts softly, then kissed his way up to her earlobe, taking the delicate flesh between his teeth and nipping. Ravyn gasped. "I never thought biting could be so erotic, even after all these years among you shifters."
"Mmmm. I'm surprised some wolf hasn't tried to nip you before now," he growled possessively. "Everyone knows about the Pack Mother of Evenhide and Crimsontail, a witch who can make the fiercest Alphas roll over and expose their throats and their bellies."
Ravyn smiled tenderly. "There have been a few, but I didn't encourage them … and they didn't want to take on the entire Cresta clan if something went wrong."
With a bark of laughter, Jude agreed. "Despite your charms, I'd say very few shifters wanted to risk Dane's and Jiro's wrath. Fortunately, I seem to know just how to bite you. Does it feel good on your earlobe?"
Gasping, Ravyn said, "Oh yes. And on my neck. The sides of my neck."
He nipped his way down the side of her neck, marking her with a trail of tiny bites. Then, he upped the ante on the other side, nipping and licking. She closed her eyes as the pleasure swept her.
"NO."
Her eyes flew open. "No?"
"Eyes open," Jude purred. "I want you to see everything I do to you."
Her mischievous side awakened, Ravyn grinned. "Do your worst."
He nipped down her body, nibbling and licking everywhere he could reach. Gasping, Ravyn felt the intense wave of sensation sweep through her.
"I want to touch you, taste you, devour you," he murmured between kisses and nibbles.
His eyes darkened with lust as he looked down at her with a primal need. Busy and eager, his hands explored her everywhere, finding lovely spots of sensation she never dreamed were possible. Lazily, his lips and tongue followed the path his hands had traced. His eyes roamed over her skin, lighting up in satisfaction at the way her skin flushed with pleasure. In no time at all, she felt molten liquid pooling between her thighs.
Hearing her sharp intake of breath, he smiled. A predatory smile. He knew he had her. Deftly, he grabbed both her hands and raised them above her head. "Like that, just like that," he murmured. "Keep your hands there at all times while I worship every inch of you."
Although she yearned to touch his smooth, warm skin, Ravyn obeyed him. Satisfaction flared in Jude's eyes. "Good girl," he growled.
A thrill shot through her at his words. She never imagined she'd enjoy lying back and letting a mate ravish her with pleasure when she was forbidden to move or touch him.
"You've done this before."
He smiled wolfishly. "A few times."
"No wonder Emer was always smiling."
Her words inspired a soft, tender look. "She was always working so hard, like you. Trying to be an exceptional Luna and mother. I wanted to help her relax and enjoy our time in bed. It was easier when she gave up control and just let me pamper her with sensual attention."
Ravyn's breath caught as his mouth opened on her breast, igniting a fire that raced through her body. "You … certainly … know what you're doing," she gasped.
Cleverly, his fingers slipped between her legs and stroked her soft folds. A possessive growl told her he liked what he had discovered. "You're so wet and hot," he murmured. "You feel like the hot springs in Silverpaw territory. I'll take you there. I can only imagine the water caressing your naked body."
Ravyn's eyes rolled back in her head, and she cried out as he grasped her hips and ground her against his hard, hot manhood. "So perfect, sweet and warm," he murmured.
Kissing up and down her neck, he thrust between her thighs, his desire for her growing with each passing moment. "Jude … take me," she begged.
He glowed with the light of his desire. "Happy to oblige, my love, my Luna, my mate."
When he drove into her, she felt complete. More than she ever had been. Her hands above her head, swaying and undulating in a dance as old as time, she reveled in him claiming her.

Jude POV
Being inside Ravyn was like being bathed in moonlight. The moonbeams must feel like this, so warm and beautiful. Simultaneously, she felt like the sun's core. So hot and sweet and life-giving.
"You feel so good," he growled. "I'm going to make you feel wonderful. I need to feel you, taste you, touch you, love you."
Willingly holding her hands above her head, Ravyn strained to keep her arms in place. From the devil-may-care look in her eyes, she relished the challenge of staying still.
"It feels like forever since we've had private time, just for ourselves," she said huskily. "It was an eventful few days. You sacrificed so much to try and keep us all safe."
"So did you." He kissed her, slow and deep, savoring the taste of her. "You taste like those goldenberry crêpes Dane introduced me to."
She grinned. "So, you're saying I'm addictive?"
"I think the Moon Goddess made you that way, just for me." He cupped one breast to offer to his mouth, and savored her exquisite skin as he drove hard inside her.
Her scream was the best sound he'd heard in a long time. It fueled his desire even more, and he panted, feeling light-headed and completely free. He soared in her arms, feeling light and free and on the verge of rocketing into the stars to say hello to the Moon Goddess.
Suddenly, he felt a fierce desire to see Ravyn soar on top of him, and he rolled over with her so that she sat astride him like a queen. Her eyes sparkled with mischief. "I take it that I can move now?"
"Oh yes."
He moaned as her hands feathered over his chest. Eagerly, his hands cupped her magnificent well-shaped behind. "Ravyn …"
She moved on him, and he kneaded the beautiful globes of her rear, loving how she responded to his caresses. Throwing her head back.
"It's never been like this for me," she gasped.
"Nor me. It's … different," he admitted.
"Must be because I'm a witch."
He smirked, loving the playful banter. "Maybe. And maybe you like my wolf's passion."
"Mmmmm. I do enjoy being devoured by you."
Jude reached up and stroked her hair, loving the silky feel of it. She snarled playfully and nipped his shoulder in a way that had him shuddering with the pleasure and the sheer intensity of the moment. "You are going to kill me," he moaned. "I'd hate to think what you'd be like as a wolf …"
"I want to be one, once we're back at Faolan Castle."
Her simple, pure declaration pushed him over the edge, and with a loud howl, he poured himself into her. Imagining her as a blonde wolf with fluffy, silky fur, or a midnight black one with big beautiful eyes made him come completely undone. Feeling him, Ravyn tightened around him and threw her head back, screaming as her pleasure flooded them both. She collapsed on top of Jude and held him close, both of them basking in the afterglow.
Jude clasped her to him as if she were the most important thing in the world to him, which she was. He gazed at her with love-drugged eyes. "I love you. You're my world, my everything. And I can't wait to make you into a wolf. You'll be the best shifter witch there is."
Happy tears welled up in her eyes. "I love you, too."
Jude glanced around him. "A majestic setting for this passionate reunion … and somehow, it doesn't feel quite real! Not that I'm complaining."
"Me either, but I feel the same way." She stared at all the surrounding luxury. "I've spent so much time in shifter lands that I forgot how humans live."
Jude growled, pretending to be offended. "Are you saying we're primitive and can't live as richly as these humans?"
Ravyn grinned impishly. "I suppose I shouldn't have said something about gold leaf on the bedroom walls."
"Oh no. Honor must be satisfied. We'll have the gold leaf in our bedroom."
Ravyn kissed him softly, enjoying their teasing banter and this incredible time together. "I don't deserve you, and you showed such courage and strength on the island. I want to reward you."
Jude hungrily agreed. "And my reward will take a good long time. So, to quote you, catch your breath, because we're not done yet."
These two have earned their reward and then some!
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
