He was wild in Delia's arms, his body filling hers with an almost violent claiming. His hips thrust against her, grinding his body into hers down to the very root of him.
She cried out, wrapping her leg around his waist as he withdrew and came back again with an animal ferocity that made her want to weep. He lowered her to the ground, careful to pull her skirts beneath her so she wasn't against the cold ground and fucked and filled her until she bucked beneath him, her fingers clawing at his back as another orgasm tore through her body in waves.
Stefan roared, his hips thrusting forward in a final push, his body emptying inside hers, filling her with his seed. He lowered his head to the soft flesh of her shoulder and sank his teeth into her, holding on as the waves of pleasure and pain carried them both to another place and time.
Something shivered to life and broke inside her, and the power of his touch awakened pieces of her soul she hadn't known existed. The broken shards of Charles's shattered spirit melded with her own, but so did the lineage her mother had tried so hard to protect her from.
A black man with long braids flowing loose around his head, dressed in a suit and bright red dress shirt, winked at her in her mind's eye, his lips twisted up into a devilish smile.
"Welcome, daughter." He laughed, throwing his hands out, the host of spirits of swirling around him like they had her all her life.
She heard her mother's voice in her mind again.
There is a why, baby. Someday you'll understand. Then it's up to you.
Papa Legba. Conduit to the underworld and master of the crossroads.
Her father.
Image after image tumbled into her mind. The lineage of the Maries in one long vision Delia could hardly keep separate--so she didn't bother trying. It was a part of her, like the ghosts and the caramel color of her skin, and it would take her a lifetime to understand it all.
But she would have time.
Stefan would see to that. Just like she would make sure they had a future.
The sound of drums rumbled in the distance, and she laid a hand on Stefan's back as he froze.
"You hear it, too?"
"We have to go." He stared down at her with eyes bright as the moon above. "They'll be here soon."
"Who?"
But, even as she asked the question, Delia knew the answer. Her people were coming and they were coming for her. Because if they didn't, there would be hell to pay. The darkness was here and it was hungry for blood.
