Excerpt:

“Rule Atlantis as my queen.”

Her doubts swirled. I don’t know how. I haven’t had Lucy’s mermaid bride training. Then, there was his answer. We will learn together.

Elyssa squeezed his hands. “I’ll try.”

“You are mine.” He tugged her into his arms and sealed her lips with his.

A thousand pounds of masculine strength embraced her, rock hard and implacable. His firm lips commanded her to lose herself in his embrace.

She gripped his bulging biceps. Her thighs pressed against his rock-hard jeans. Pulsing need pounded into her feminine center.

There was his scent again. Movie star delicious. Hickory and vanilla? His smoky flavor made her crave a deeper taste.

His wide hands cupped her cheeks. His teeth nibbled at her lips. Rivulets of need tingled to her hot center. She opened her lips. He dove into her mouth and branded her with his tongue.

Her body heated.

This was possession. All-consuming possession.

She wanted to climb onto Kadir. Wrap her legs around his taut waist. Lose herself as he plunged into her and rocked her to sweet release.

Their kiss changed everything. Her world shattered. All that was left was Kadir.

He freed her lips, kept his eyes closed, and sucked in a long breath.

She stroked the fierce planes of his rugged, silver-tattooed face. He swayed slightly and gripped onto her as though he were unsteady. As though their kiss had knocked him sideways just as hard as it had knocked her.

But he recovered quickly. His eyes opened. He glared at her with magnificent challenge. “My bride.”
