The first rays of dawn stealthily crept into the room.
Adela and Egon remained suspended in time and space. He managed to thrust all the way inside of her then held very still. Unable to bring himself to pull out of her and let her have the much-needed sleep she deserved.
She was still trying to adjust to the feeling of him, her eyes on her lower abdomen, she saw his erect penis through the outside. But the notion was still, extremely surreal.
"Adelaide."
"Yes?" The word came out in a hoarse whisper.
"I want to move. Tell me if it becomes painful. The mate bond…I can't concentrate."
Meeting his handsome face with an upward glance, she recognized the identical detachment from reality mirrored in his bewildered onyx eyes. She raised her hand gradually and brushed away the droplets of sweat on his eyebrows. The extent of self-restraint he was exerting on her behalf did not elude her notice.
She was cherished.
