Chapter Twenty-Eight
Levi
“Are you ready, nalex?”
“Tola,” my mated growled. “I am always ready for you.”
I smiled as I moved to stand in front of him.
“Okay, open your beautiful eyes.”
Ezah did just that, and when his eyes widened and his gaze slowly, very slowly, slid up my body until it reached my face, I couldn’t help but shiver as if he touched me.
“Nona mai.”
“Huh?” I blinked. “We’re already on Nona Mai.”
“No.” Ezah shook his head. “I’m not talking about the hill, I’m saying that you are nona mai … You’re so beautiful, starlight. How am I the male to have you? Even Thanas must envy me.”
His compliment stole my breath because I knew he truly believed that.
“You like the ensemble then? It is a one-piece dress.”
“Your clothing is stunning, but it is the beautiful, brown-skinned female wearing it who gives it its beauty.”
I beamed down at him. He was sitting down on the grass and staring up at me like I was the light of his life. My heart beat wildly within my chest when I imagined a young one of our own staring at me with those big, beautiful, sunset pink eyes. I wasn’t scared about looking forward anymore, not even with the mystery that Enik posed. I would no longer allow that man to cause me any fear, his curse over me shattered back on New Farm when I realised that he was nothing. I was embracing my life and all that came with it. My mate … a family of our own.
I wanted little ones. I never thought I was the kind of woman to dream of children, but with Ezah, I wanted so many of them. Males and females.
“Ezah, can I tell you something?”
“Anything.”
“When we have a little female of our own, Thanas willing, I want to give her a name that is two very special names put together.”
“Two names together?”
“Yes,” I answered. “Two names that represent love, courage, and fierce loyalty.”
“What names are those, tola?”
“Kovu and Iona,” I answered, my heart swelling. “Kovu gave up her claim on you in this life so you could be my mate. She loves me too in her own special way by giving me the gift of you. My mother not only gave up her life for me to have a life of freedom, she also dedicated her life to me and taught me what it means to love. I want our firstborn female, whenever that happens, to be named after two females who are so different, but so much alike. I want her name to be Kona.”
Ezah’s breath caught.
“You bless me,” he rasped. “To honour your mother is one thing, but to honour my passed intended? I have fallen in love with you so much more, and I didn’t think that was possible.”
When he pulled me down to meet his kiss, I smiled.
“Yes,” he breathed, his tongue flicking against my lower lip. “Our first female, she will be our Kona.”
Another kiss quickly turned into one of deep hunger and my mate hurriedly moved my body to straddle him. He parted my dress, gripped my thighs, and sank my body down on his hardened cock that I didn’t even realise he’d freed from his trousers.
“Ezah.” I moaned. “Anyone could see us.”
“No one can see you but me.”
I rolled my hips forward.
“Yes,” he hissed. “You’re wrapped around me just like you always should be.”
My lips parted when I placed my hands on his shoulders and used them as leverage to raise and lower myself on his thick, throbbing length. I leaned in and sucked his lower lip into my mouth.
“My male.”
“Yours.” He growled. “Show me how you love your male. Show me how this cunt rules my cock.”
I clenched my pussy muscles around his shaft, and the sound it pulled from my mate’s throat was his a tongue over my clit. I loved his body slowly, driving us insane as the heat built inside us both until we were both wild with need.
“Levi, yes,” Ezah hissed. “Faster. Yes.”
I leaned my head back and looked up at the sky. Its beauty held me captive until Ezah surged his hips upward, driving his cock deep within my body. A sudden orgasm struck me, and I cried out as I bucked wildly on top of my mate, riding the wave of ecstasy that coated me while I rode him.
“Fuck!”
The swear word that Ezah, and many other males, had taken a liking to left his mouth as he came. I gasped and moaned when he projected the sensations he felt onto my body, gifting me with a second orgasm that wasn’t even my own. Minutes later, we remained in the same position, clinging to one another and breathing heavily.
“My mate.”
I shifted until his softened length slipped from my body. I turned around and snuggled back against Ezah as we sat atop our Nona Mai and gazed at the ocean of stars above us. Not far away, an animal made a peaceful sound, almost like it was singing. I hummed in delight.
