Raiden

I swear I never knew Taj had such a mean streak in him. The man kept me away from Mira all day. It was like he had damned radar or something and would purposely steer us away from any area she was in. When the servants rang the bell for the guests to gather, I was more than ready as I tugged at the collar of my shirt.

"Stop fidgeting," Taj said next to me. I started to respond but fell into complete silence as the music began and Mira stepped into the pathway on her father's arm. She was stunning. Her silvery dress hugged every curve as her hair fell in ringlets over her shoulder. She was all I could see, her heartbeat was all I could hear.

"Raiden?"

"Huh? Oh, yes," I stammered as Deimos gave me her hand and we turned to face her mother who grinned at us wildly.

I had no idea what she said until I heard her speak our names. "Do you Lilianna Mirabella take this man to be your husband, lover, mate, and friend for all of eternity?" Lilith asked her.

Mira's eyes were locked on mine as she replied, "I do."

Lilith spoke to me, asking, "Do you Raiden Thrace take this woman to be your wife, lover, mate, and friend for all of eternity?"

"I do."

"Then what the fates have bound together, let none separate," Lilith spoke loudly as a fine mist of magic sealed our bond. "You may kiss your bride," she grinned.

Without hesitation, I pulled her tightly to me and crashed our mouths together as the room cheered. Then I scooped her up in my arms and made a run for the grand staircase.

"What about the guests, the reception?" Mira stuttered.

"They can start without us, I'm not taking any chances this time," I chuckled.

Mira let out a peal of laughter as I took the steps two and three at a time, then slammed the bedroom door behind us. She flicked her wrist with a smirk and locked all the doors - sealing the room. Just as I'd done on the first night she had summoned me, I ripped her clothing off in a single motion.

"Ohh, I really liked that dress," Mira whined playfully. Snapping her fingers, my clothes also vanished "See, no tearing required," she quipped. I growled in response and let my tail land on her bare bottom. She let out a squeal of delight that quickly turned to moans as I continued to whip her. "Raiden," she whimpered as I held her against me. My hands traveled over her delicate skin, feeling every curve. I slowly walked us backward to the bed until her knees buckled at the mattress and I pulled her up, pinning her beneath me. My fingers threaded into her wet folds.

"So ready for me, little one," I purred as she lifted her hips to take my fingers deeper. "Open wider for me," I told her as she moved her legs apart, allowing me to slide inside of her. I began to thrust slowly until I was fully sheathed inside of her. Lifting her chin to let our gazes meet, I asked, "Little one, I want to mark you for all eternity. I want to make you only mine, Mira. Will you accept my claim? Will you accept me as your soulmate?"

"Yes, Raiden, you may mark me, but you already have me. You've always had me, from the first moment you appeared in my apartment, I've been yours, and yours alone." She pulled my mouth to hers, moaning as I shifted inside of her. Our kisses deepened as I began to thrust rapidly. Her body felt amazing around my cock as we continued to climb higher.

As we neared our orgasms, I placed my hand on her chest and began to recite the claim in the ancient tongue. She made a whimpering sound as the pain of the claim took root in her chest, then began to cry out my name as my essence filled us both. Lust coated the room as our cries became louder, our bodies entangled. "You are mine, Mira," I roared as I came deep inside of her. She screamed out my name as her orgasm broke and the fire in her chest consumed her. Her body began to tremble and she cried out in pain. Wrapping my arms around her, I pulled her against my chest. "It will pass, little one. Sleep now." I pressed my fingers to her forehead and sleep overtook her.

Mira awoke a while later, pushing me away from her. "My back hurts. It feels like it's on fire. What is happening?" she cried out. She stumbled away from the bed and fell to her knees. I tried to come closer then stopped as my mouth gaped. Two silvery wings had sprouted from her back. Mira looked over her shoulders, then asked, "Raiden, why the hell do I have wings?"

"I'm not sure," I stuttered. "Maybe the mark worked differently since your part demon?" I reached out to steady Mira as she shakily stood. She walked to the mirror on the wall, staring in wonder at the newly formed wings. They were the same color as her hair and looked almost iridescent in the light.

"What, no tail?" she giggled.

"Only certain male demons, like incubi, for example, get tails," I grinned as I let my own wings and tails appear. "Would you like to break these in?" I asked, her running my hands along the bones of her wings. She shivered and moaned at my touch. "Oh little one, I think I just found a new sweet spot." Her cheeks flushed crimson as I led her to the balcony. I gave her a cheeky grin as I reminded her, "Don't forget to breathe."

Within seconds, I had pulled her off the balcony and we plunged through the cool night air. Instinctually, Mira opened her wings and with a single flap launched herself upwards. I could see the exhilaration on her face as she soared. She laughed and swirled in the air as I flew up to her. I hovered near her for a moment, then reached out and pulled her close. Mira's cheeks reddened as she realized we were both still naked. My tail crashed against her backside as she moaned loudly. She looked so fucking sexy, that I couldn't help myself as our lips met, my tongue exploring her mouth as I pulled her legs around my waist. Using my wings as leverage, I slammed upward, sinking my cock deep inside her core. Her instincts took over and using her own wings, she pushed downward trying to grind against me. Soon my thrusts became almost animalistic and she clung to me as I ravaged her mid-air.

My roar shook the air around us as we both reached our release and she slumped against my chest. I gently lowered us back onto the balcony as she lay nestled in my arms. "Pull in your wings, little one," I whispered in her ear. She sighed and did as I asked. "Rest now, my love." Placing her on the bed, I lay next to my wife, watching her peacefully sleep.

My fingers traced along her nose, cheeks, and jawline. She was perfect and she was all mine, finally.
