MELANIE
Melanie's heart thumped as Honor pressed her to the bed. Her face rubbed on the pillow as he pounded into her. One hand still played with her clit, while the other flattened on her ass, holding him steady.
Her orgasm burst suddenly, erratically—undulating sensations that seemed connected to every nerve in her body.
Honor's claws dug into her skin and he gave a final, deep thrust. He roared again as he found his release.
A moment passed before he separated from her. Then he fell next to her and gathered her into his arms. He kissed her forehead. "Thank you, Melanie. Thank you."
Melanie stroked his chest, but felt nothing. She sat up and watched as her hand passed through the flesh of her lover. The human flesh. She looked into the blue-green eyes of Honor Karn. Into a face so familiar.
"Sedgwick?"
"I will find you, Melanie."
"Because of destiny?" she asked, tears falling.
"Yes," he said. "And because you wear my ring."
