Goosebumps lined my skin when a small teasing smile crept upon his face. Lost in a heady trance of passion, I knew it was only the start of the inferno to come.He grabbed me by the waist, kissing my neck, and pushing his body into mine. His rough hands tried hard to not rip my clothes but failed, his tongue caressed every inch of my body hungrily. Those long and deep kisses, our tangled arms and legs, aah! I gasped for air as his thrusts got faster and deeper. The rest of the world faded into an unimportant blur. Then without control, my body exploded into another head spinning orgasm."I am not done with you yet," his words fueled the fire inside me.He left my body feeling limp by the time he was done. I lay still, listening to the sound of his beating heart."I love you, Marcus." I said, tugging him closer.His hand gently glided through my hair, tucking a wisp behind my ear. His eyes were lit with love. The pale moonlight streaming from the wi

Marcus's POVTwo days ago (≈ Two weeks back in the Iron Age time)It was one of my worst nightmares to see Allena paying the price for my past with Laelia. I wasn't willing to admit this to Allena, but I was terrified of Laelia's strength and wrath. I wanted to end my relationship with her the day I kissed Allena. I never felt anything like that with Laelia before, and I somehow knew then that Allena and I were meant to be.I fought the urge to kill Tulio the very next moment when I saw him touch Allena, but I didn't want to attract Laelia's attention about falling for Allena. And then, like a fool, I got emotional and blurted it out in front of Laelia and the rest of my family when I panicked that she was going to go back that night with her parents. I should have been more careful with Laelia, especially after she had attacked us on our way home from the fortress.The enchantments around my home were supposed to protect Allena from harm if she was

The expression on Marcus's face was priceless when he heard me say his name. I felt a warmth flow through my body in a gush. And the first thing I wanted to do and did was to take in some more of his scent."I missed this so much!" I said, holding him tight and kissing his neck.His smell and his proximity had an amazingly calming effect on me. I didn't care that none of this made sense. The face of the girl that I saw in my dream suddenly became clearer, and it was the same person who came to my room and was in my hidden pictures folder. After seeing Marcus in person, it was somehow obvious to me that we were inseparable, and that girl with blue eyes could be no one else but me. It explains why she knew my password or the location of the house key and gun drawer key. Unless there was a more logical explanation that is.I forgot that he couldn't speak English. After holding him for as long as I could, I lifted my head and asked him, "Where were you all these day

Marcus's POVIt was killing me to see her hurting like this. I was all too familiar with this sad face of hers. I was helpless in my dreams, and even now when I was with her, I didn't know the words that could console her.I hated Jon when she first told me that she was with him for five long years. Seeing her in tears today had me realize that Jon was her support system. I was glad he was there for her when I couldn't.She wiped her tears off by rubbing her face against my shirt while I held her tighter."Let's go before Jake finds us again," the Druid said.There was no fireplace in the entire hospital to create the portal. The sorceress said the stone needed to be thrown into the fire once it was activated.The Druid took us to the corner of a cafeteria and waited impatiently for employees warming their food in what he called a microwave. Once we made sure that no one was watching us, he took a metal fork and put it into the microwave, an

Marcus and his men crossed the shallow waters near my village and a fight erupted almost immediately. His grandfather was dead several years ago and with him gone, there were no marital alliances or peace negotiations. Marcus and his dad did as they pleased, taking over every Celtic tribe and turning men and women into slaves.  With Allena's memories intact, I felt an uncontrolled feeling of hatred for the Romans and their raids. I thought Avus was crazy with his forced marriage contracts and control, but I realized now how important his role was as a peacemaker.All those things that Iona told me about when I first opened my eyes here as Allena last time, about using women for domestic help and men for construction projects and powering catapults in their wars and whatnot, those people were us this time.Their fortress was only a couple of hours away from where our village was. They took over every village that was between the fortress and A
