"Always," she promised.

Kendrick stepped backward and unzipped his jeans. When he let them fall, Anne began to have serious regrets about asking for multiple sessions. She doubted she was going to survive the first round.

His cock was erect and reached his belly button. As if she wasn't worried enough about the length, the rounded head capped a shaft that she knew she would barely be able to wrap her hand around.

"It won't kill you," Kendrick said laughing.

Anne scrunched up her face. "It might."

"Let's see." He knelt down in front of her and rolled her panties over her hips and down her legs. She stepped out of them, and he threw them across the room.

"Have you ever made love to a witch before?" he asked as he used his thumbs to part her folds.

She shook her head. "You know I haven't."

Kendrick looked up at her with an impish smile on his face. "Then let me introduce you to benefits of being mated to a witch."

One second she was standing, the next she was on her back, floating in mid-air. "Kendrick?"

"I've mastered air magic my love, you won't fall."

He floated her over to the bed, but instead of letting her fall onto the covers, he kept her floating three feet above them.

She raised an eyebrow.

"The better to eat you, my dear." He spread her legs wide and ran his tongue up her slit until he was teasing her clit with his teeth.

Gasping, she threw her head back. Over and over he alternated between sharp bites and rapid flicks of his tongue. With her legs straining, she reached for him, chasing the pleasure he promised.

He drew back and dropped her gently on the bed. She whimpered at the loss, and he chuckled.

"It gets better," he said as he reached down and began to enter her slowly.

She knew she was right to be concerned. He was stretching her too much. She began thrashing her head from side to side. "Kendrick!"

She was about to tell him to stop when she felt his hot mouth on her clit again.

Huh? How could he be pleasuring her with both his mouth and his cock at the same time?

She opened her eyes, and he was smiling down at her. "How?"

"Fire magic."

The heat twisted and turned. She clenched down on his invading cock, trying to capture that one thing she was desperate for.

He leaned forward and leisurely licked and nibbled on her left breast. When he pulled back, an icy biting sensation distracted her from the overwhelming sensations around her clit.

He surged deep, filling her completely before igniting his fire spell to send her into the stratosphere. He mercilessly kept her on the brink of climax and then brought her down with a bite of ice. Back and forth, he used the dueling sensations to drive her out of her mind.

Just when she thought she couldn't take it anymore, he was leaning over her, thrusting into her over and over again. His gaze was filled with love and his eyes with tears as he began to recite words that she somehow knew; it was as if they were written on her heart and only he could see the words to unlock her soul.

"As there is a sun and moon, a sky and earth, and a Lord and Lady, so there are two pieces to this one soul. Let us be complete once more, never to be torn apart. I give everything I am into my mate's keeping, let my love protect and guard our joined souls."

He thrust deep one final time, shuddering with his own release, which triggered her orgasm. As her heartbeat began to slow, she began to feel a gentle, warm wave begin to engulf her. It wasn't forceful or savage. It was kind and patient as it slowly invaded every cell in her body. She felt new connections as awareness flooded her senses. She was now tied to nature itself; it was so humbling and beautiful, and she began to cry.

Kendrick withdrew from her body and rolled them onto their sides, wrapping his body around hers. He held her close as the waves began to dissipate.

She wasn't able to speak for a few minutes. "What was that?"

Kendrick kissed the side of her neck. "That was my magic, my connection with nature. I'm closer to Her than most witches. She was very happy to meet you."

Anne could still feel his power trickling through her body. "Am I a witch now?"

Behind her, she felt him shake his head. "No, you're still human, but you'll gain the ability to do certain things."

"Like what?"

Kendrick shrugged. "It's different for every couple. Usually a male witch and a female witch will exchange aspects of the magic they are best at. For example, a fire witch may gain the ability to call a breeze from his mate who can work with air spells."

"But you don't do just one thing."

"No, I don't."

"So, you really don't know."

"No, but doesn't that make it exciting?"

She laughed and then gasped. She could definitely feel the aftereffects of his lovemaking.

"Did I hurt you?" he asked immediately, sounding concerned.

"No, not really. I'm just slightly sore. It's more of a nuisance than pain."

He didn't say anything.

"Are you grinning?" She reached up behind her head to feel for his face.

Laughing, he fake growled and nipped at her fingers, causing her to squeal. "Careful love, you'll poke me in the eye."

Anne went to turn so she could face him and realized how big a mess they had made. She sat up and grimaced, looking at the covers.

Kendrick shook his head, went to the center of the room, and picked up his clothes, which now resembled a long gown.
