The Court of Dreams
From the world of the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning.
Keep reading for a sneak peak.
Masdann, Unseelie Prince of Dreams, is visited by MacKayla Lane O'Connor, Queen of the Fae. During her visits to his court, she occasionally gets lost in dreams and possibilities. Eventually, Masdann begins crafting them for her as a tribute--particularly a long and lengthy one where she and her consort Jericho Barrons have a child.
If you've read any of these books, you know that Mac and Barrons having a child can't even begin to be described as 'interesting'.
It's Mac and Barrons so there is definitely some mature content.
--SNEAK PEAK--
It had been almost ten years since Barrons’s son had been here. There was still a stain on the ground from where he had ripped out my throat and I had bled out multiple times as my body had worked to restore itself.
“I’m sorry,” I said softly as I felt the earth offer and begin to replenish me. He shifted closer and took my hand. “I don’t like this room, either.”
“Just hurry up and replenish, Mac,” he told me. “That stain on the floor forces me to remember watching you repeatedly die. It’s filling me with the need to fuck you.”
I smiled and laid my head on his shoulder as I said, “Everything fills you with the need to fuck me.”
He snorted a laugh and slanted me a look, saying, “Yes, because nothing makes you want to take me anywhere, anytime. Remembering holding you as you repeatedly bled out shortly after you admitted you should have voluntarily fucked me *really* fills me with the need to fuck you.” I was chuckling by the time he got to the end of his sentence and I opened my eyes to see him smiling down at me.
I smiled back up at him before I said, “It’s been—what? almost ten years since I stumbled into the bookstore?”
“Something like that.”
“It’s been almost ten years since I met you,” I said as I squeezed his hand. My voice was just above a whisper. “Ten years and I am still ripped-down-raw in love with you, Jericho Barrons.”
Barrons was exultant, and I couldn’t breathe when I saw something I’d only seen once before in his eyes: joy. The only other time I’d seen it was when I’d lied to him because I wanted him to have some peace of mind. He’d known I was lying but hadn’t cared; I’d lied because I loved him.
“These past ten years with you have been the best of my life,” he told me and I preened as I grinned; he’d lived a very long life.
“I want it to always be like this,” I told him. “I at least want to always feel this way when I look at you.”
“What do you feel, Rainbow Girl?”
“Complete,” I said after a moment of thought so I could find the right word.
He was still exultant when he leaned down and kissed me, tender at first before growing hot and hungry.
“I seriously need to fuck you now, Mac,” he growled.
“Soon,” I assured him.
I preened a little when I thought about what he was looking at: a Barbie-lookalike he knew had knives hidden all over her with the Spear of Destiny and a gun holstered to her legs, rounds of ammunition in her pockets and belt.
A woman ready for anything and anyone that came at her. A woman he’d trained to be ready for anything. A woman who could drive him bugfuck crazy and was deeply and firmly embedded under his skin.
The woman who had been prepared to remake the world for him. The woman who existed outside of all rules for him. The mother of his child.
His beast saw its mate, a monster who could turn off every emotion so she could do what needed to be done.
Barrons saw his sun, moon, and stars.
His Rainbow Girl.
*His* woman.

If you liked that, you should start reading. Major spoilers if you’ve never read the books. Most can be found on Amazon for less than $10. I recommend them to everyone I meet. This is still a good read if you haven’t read them. I give plenty of explanation throughout.
Enjoy!
