Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Bronx's POV

I never imagined how perfect my first time would be. I feel pure contentment as I lay next to Kas, but I also felt lust for more at the same time. 2

Kas has an arm and a leg draped over me. I use my fingertips to gently caress her arm as we admire each other. Her beautiful violet eyes look tired, which is expected. A first shift takes a lot out of you. There was still a glint of mischief in there too. I take her hand and kiss it.

"You're amazing," I smile at her as I tuck some sparkly stray hairs behind her ear.

"You called me your little goddess," she smiles sleepily.

“Well, you're mine and you are a goddess, aren't you?”

“Yeah, I suppose that's true," she muses, looking into the distance.

“And compared to just about the rest of the world, except maybe fairies and tree sprites, you are little," I tease, "That makes you my little goddess.”

"Hey! I've grown half an inch since I've been here," she giggles at me. I wrap my arms around her and pull her closer so I can pepper little kisses on her face and neck, making her giggle more. It really is my favorite sound.

“So, Kas, I'm kinda curious...uh, in the shower, how - uh, when - um, oh, I'm fucking this up...I'm just wondering how you knew how to, um well you were there, you know," I stumble over my words feeling like a moron.

“Oh haha, that! Well, sex and fertility are actually a big thing with witches since they don't have fated mates like we do. Male and female witches want to make sure their chosen mates are satisfied in all aspects of their relationships so they won't want to leave. They talk pretty openly about it and share advice with each other. I've learned a lot of ways we can satisfy each other...in the bedroom...in the shower...and lots of other places too. Not to mention, I'm sharing a body with a four-thousand-year-old wolf. She knows a thing or two. Want me to show you more about what I've learned?" she giggles.
