Tierra gasped as a fine golden mist blossomed from inside the box, a faint red glitter sparkling within the mist.

"Esmere," Renn murmured and Tierra nodded. To'en had told her of this powerful mist, although she had not yet learned to make it herself.

Her nipples tightened, her quim flooded and her body zinged with wild l.u.s.t. The box began to shake in their hands, and a quick glance at Renn's furiously hard c.o.c.k told her he was as aroused as she was.

They shoved the box on the table as one, and Renn in a fluid motion, he picked Tierra up and laid her on the bed.

She had to have him, now. "f.u.c.k me, Renn," she cried as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

Renn sheathed himself in Tierra's quim, driving into her with raging intensity. His need for his woman had already been great, but with the esmere mist, it was uncontrollable. The rare mist allowed them to link their thoughts and bodies, allowed them to feel one another's pleasures.

Their minds blended together as he drove into her. I can feel what you feel, denai, he told her in thought, enjoying knowing how she felt to have his c.o.c.k inside her.

Yes! Tierra's body was so sensitive to his every touch, his every thrust, he could feel how it drove her wild. Oh, G.o.ds this is incredible.

Harder and harder Renn thrust into his heartmate. Their very souls converged and merged into one just as their bodies and thoughts did.

Tierra screamed, the sound of her ecstasy a reflection of his own as his climax thundered through him. He felt every wave of Tierra's o.r.g.a.s.m, along with every throb of his own.

As he again filled Tierra's womb with his seed, the sudden knowledge came to him as to what the red glitter had beena"as though Anistana had planted that knowledge and released it only when he achieved climax.

He was not sure whether to laugh or groan.

With their minds linked from the esmere, Tierra heard and felt Renn's recognition of what Anistana had gifted them with on their joining day.

Her mind still confused and dizzy with the esmere, she held Renn between her thighs and simply enjoyed the last of their o.r.g.a.s.ms. How it felt to Renn to come in her womb, mingled with her own intense climax.

When their breathing had calmed, Renn rolled to his side and held Tierra close to him. She kept her body pressed tight to his, not wanting to let his c.o.c.k out of her core, and looked up at him.

Renn gave Tierra a crooked smile, and that alone was enough to melt any fury that had built up inside her over what her sister had done.

"Anistana worked a very deep, very old magic, didn't she?" Tierra asked as she pressed her palm to her husband's muscled chest.

He nodded. "You will have twins with full Fae as well as full Nordain powers." Renn reached up and brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes. "But since the second born Faerie twin is always born without wings, that twin will have wings only in her Nordai form."

Tierra rolled her eyes and sighed. "Thanks to Anistana's gift, I will have nothing but twins. Every time I conceive."

Renn smiled and pulled on the lock of red hair he had brushed aside. "And one will always be a redheaded female."

"A curse?" Tierra asked.

"A blessing," Renn replied. "If my daughters are anything like their mother, then most definitely a blessing."

A twinge of annoyance surged through Tierra at the thought of what her twin had done. Their relationship was sure to be long and difficult. Yet at the same time, Tierra felt a bit of worry, wondering what her twin was up to, and why. The Faerie Queen never did anything that would not benefit her and Astral directly.

"I am pleased." Renn cupped her face with his palm. "To know that I will have daughters as full of spirit and beauty as their mother...I could not ask for anything more."

Tierra smiled, feeling as though she could never be happier than she was at that moment. Her husband in her arms, her babes on the way. "Love me again," she murmured.

"Always, denai," Renn replied as he again eased between her thighs and slid his c.o.c.k in and out of her core. "Always."

Epilogue.

To'en's gaze followed the young Faerie Queen as she vanished from the battlefielda"to all eyes but his. He saw her in her ethereal form, a whisper of a woman who moved with grace and beauty, her head high, even when she believed no one could see her.

Only To'en noticed the slight slump of her wings, felt the deep ache in her heart.

From the moment he had first seen the young Queen, To'en's c.o.c.k had stirred and a desire filled him that he had not known for centuries. This youngling of a mere twenty seasons intrigued him as no other woman had ever done.

A fiery spirit, a sensuous nature and unrivaled beauty.

A woman who needed love.. .and protection from other evils still afoot.

A woman who needed to be tamed.

To'en felt his lips curl in a feral smile, more wolf than human.

He intended to be the man to master Anistana.
