REBECCA
One moment I was sitting on the kitchen counter – the next I was, again, wrapped in Reiner’s arms, who was growling with desire into my mouth. His tongue was dancing in a desperate struggle against mine, fighting for an upper hand and domination that I was quite happy to grant him.
His hands went on my ass to hold me up, pressed against himself … and the mere sensation of his body against mine was enough to make me moan.
–
Pleasure and desire began to blossom everywhere in my body – in my breasts, in my lower abdomen, in every spot of my body that was in contact with his.
More.
I needed more contact, more rage, more desire, more of everything.
After four endless and lonely years, I only wanted my mate- I needed my mate.
A little part of my brain registered a sort of bounce – and I felt it.
Reiner had sat on my bed, and as a result, my dripping core was no longer pressing against his abs – but against his gorgeous, hot, and huge erection.
I groaned into his mouth, and his grip on my hips strengthened, making me grind against his c**k at the rhythm he wanted. Once he made sure I didn’t stop moving against him, his hands ventured north, setting fire to every inch of skin they touched… and his mouth left mine,
resting in the hollow of my left shoulder.
A sob of pure pleasure escaped my lips as soon as his tongue began to move over my mark, and I instinctively rubbed myself faster on him, grasping his hair to make sure that beautiful and incredibly skillful mouth stayed right there to work its magic.
His hand reached my breast, and he made to pull it out of my bra…
When an unmistakable sound froze us both in place.
Immediately after, cries intermingled with “mommy” and “daddy” began.
Violet had been sick again.
All my attention shifted from the incredible man below me to my little girl in the other room –
and before I knew it, I was at her bedside.

“Mommy I threw up…” Violet cried, as I picked her up to get her off the dirty bed. “And I … I…”
She moved against me, and I felt something warm slide down my back.
Sxxy.
“Sowwy Mommy…” Vi began to sob. “I’m sowwy
“It’s okay, baby,” I reassured her, holding her tight as Reiner leaned in to stroke her hair. “Really. Now Daddy’s going to change your sheets, okay? Do you still feel sick?”
She shook her head no, her lips trembling as she sobbed.
“Okay. Let’s go take something for your poor tummy, sweetheart,” I sighed, bringing her over
into the kitchen.
Reiner was with us before she could even swallow the pill.
“Go ahead and take a shower, I’ll take care of her,” he murmured, brushing my back with his
hand before picking her up in his arms. “Come here, puppy. It’s gonna be alright“.
When I came out of the bathroom, with my hair still damp (because, unfortunately, Violet had
struck there, too), I found them snuggled up in my bed: Violet had curled up against Reiner’s side, hugging him as much as she could, and her eyes were closed, but I couldn’t tell if she
was asleep or just resting.
Is she sleeping?
Reiner nodded, continuing to stroke her hair. She wanted her pacifier, he said. I didn’t feel like denying her.
It’s okay, I murmured, lying down next to them. The school had wanted the kids to be weaned off the pacifier before they started attending – but while it had been easy with Jim, Violet still
wanted it now and then, especially when she was sad or sick.
–
I’ll have Mark come in tomorrow to check on her, he added, opening his free arm for me to snuggle against him. His lips rested on my forehead, sweet and gentle, and his hand tightened
around mine. I know it’s just some flu, but it’s better to be safe.
Hmm.
Slowly, the adrenaline coursing through my body started to wear off – and I began to realize all
that had just happened.
I couldn’t believe it – I couldn’t believe that Reiner, my Reiner, was there, in my bed, holding me
… or that less than an hour earlier, if Vi hadn’t been sick, we would have ended up in said bed.

+ Point:
And not just out of pent–up and barely hidden lust.
My love. Sweetheart. Baby. He had called me that.
His hand left mine and brushed my chin, bringing my face up to his: his lips captured mine in
a gentle, slow, relaxed kiss, and I felt a sweet peace pervade my body – as if I were in heaven.
The last time he had kissed me like this had been on that Sunday morning – when everything
had changed.
“I’m so sorry,” he whispered. The pain in his voice was enough to break my heart – and to fill
my eyes with tears. “I’m so sorry..

“You have nothing to apologize for,” I murmured. “Nothing. You have no fault…”
“I should have protected you,” he said. His fingers now gently grazed the curve of my waist and hip, giving me a pleasant tickling sensation. “Both you and the kids. I don’t think I’ll ever be
able to forgive myself for … for allowing this to happen.”
I took his hand in mine – and his eyes flew into mine.
“There was a plot,” I said. “A f*****g conspiracy aimed at destroying you and that had been going on probably for years, led by people you trusted. You… couldn’t have expected it, or
foreseen it.”
“I should have,” he insisted, his voice filled with guilt. “I should never have trusted them, not with their track record – but I did, and … and the worst part is that it was you and the kids who suffered the worst consequences – who took the brunt of it.”
I leaned in to kiss him – overcoming the bit of embarrassment and disbelief that kept me from
doing so.
“I don’t want us to think about it ever again,” I said. “It’s over. We’re fine and all together. Isn’t
that what matters?”
Reiner swallowed. “Of course it is. It’s just…
“No justs” I insisted, making sure he looked me in the eyes. “I don’t know about you, but I’m really not into giving them, or all that happened, any more time in my life“.
With a sigh, Reiner finally nodded. “Yeah, you’re right. Any moment spent thinking about that… is time taken from them,” he said, bending down to kiss Violet’s forehead. Then, his lips landed on mine, and curled into a smile. “Or us“.
Butterflies began to fly in my stomach at that word. Hope, longing, and a bit of insecurity
sparked in me.

Was he really …
“Us?”
+8 Рон
“Yeah, us” Reiner chuckled. “You and me. Don’t know if you remember. Mated, married, forcibly taken apart by a bunch of assholes. Super hot couple, with great chemistry in the bedr…”
“Reiner, the kid!” I whispered–screamed, making him laugh.
“She’s sleeping, she doesn’t hear us – and even if she did, she wouldn’t understand a thing” he
reminded me. “Anyway, I really don’t know why are you even asking that question. Considering
Sheila made us sign two different divorce papers and that we were tricked and forced into
signing them, I’m pretty sure all of that is invalid – which means that you” and he booped my
nose with a smile. “Are still my very much lawful and very, very much loved wife”.
Tears burned in my eyes.
I couldn’t believe I was hearing those words from him. I’d left my home and life pregnant,
alone and thinking I’d never see him again – spent four years thinking I’d never hear him say
he loved me again…
And there he was.
In my bed, hugging me close, smiling softly and sweetly, and making sure I felt all of that love through our bond.
“Loved?” I smiled.
“No, dummy” Reiner chuckled, pressing a soft kiss to the corner of my mouth. “Very, very
loved. There’s a difference“.
And with those words, everything fell into place.
He was back. He was there, in my arms, and he loved me.
All of that shitshow that had started with Sheila was truly over. Reiner and I had found each
other again and this time, we’d never let anybody else come between us.
–
I finally gave in to our bond – letting it fill my soul completely and devastatingly.
And I made sure to let him feel how much I loved him through that, just like he’d done with me
seconds before.
“Good,” I said. “Because you’re my very, very much loved husband“.
And I kissed him with my whole heart.
