Page 20 of Madness of Her Mages

“And I love you more than all the heavens or the number of stars.” I continued to rub Shiri as she slowly went boneless in my arms. And then she began to rub me, too. Her touch was tentative at first, her fingers lightly grazing my neck and arms.

Then I stilled when her hand traveled lower.

“You smell good,” she said aloud as she traced circles around my naval.

“Good enough to eat?” I teased, then tensed as her hand traveled lower.

“You wicked Fae,” she whispered while unlacing my trousers.

“Sorry.” I grunted then groaned when she opened my trousers and freed my erection. My wings fell open, sagging behind me.

My heartrate quickened when she slid to the floor, her sweet mouth falling open as she took my length in her hand.

“Don’t be.” She giggled. “Now I’m curious.”

My eyes rolled back, and I slumped against the sofa when she took me in her mouth.

Yes,her sultry voice projected into my head,definitely good enough to eat.

Fire scorched my veins while I watched my beautiful mate wrap her full lips around my cock, swallowing it halfway down before slurping back up, my flesh humming in ecstasy as I melted into the cushions.

A groan tore through me when she gripped the root of my shaft and massaged my sack with fingers lathered in saliva. I gently cupped the back of her head, coaxing her to take me deeper, and she eagerly complied, lavishing my cock with loving strokes of her tongue. Elements, I’d died and crossed the veil into paradise. I jerked in her hand when she stopped to lick from root to tip and back again, her lips wet and swollen. It took every ounce of willpower not to shoot off in her mouth as she continued to lick and suck, tormenting my sensitive flesh.

My balls tightened as she massaged them, and I let out a hiss. “Shiri, you’d better stop before I explode.”

She leered up at me before swallowing me down again, her tongue following with fluid, rapid strokes, her lips smacking against my sensitive flesh. I couldn’t control my release. I warned her with a rumble before I fired, ecstasy holding me captive to her sweet, wet mouth. I threw back my head with a groan while continuing to spurt into her. She let out a moan of delight and slurped down my seed as if it was manna from heaven, and my cock hardened and twitched in response.

I shuddered when she finally slid off, batting thick lashes while wiping her swollen lips with the back of her hand.

“I’d say you taste delicious,” she said with a wink.

I couldn’t get back inside her fast enough, but first, I wanted to bring her to heaven, too.

Growling like a lion on the prowl, I flashed my teeth, my wings snapping open as I pushed her onto the soft rug. She giggled when I tossed her skirts up, then squirmed beneath me when I made quick work of her underthings. I dove into her sweet nectar, my tongue swirling around her bud, swelling it with each stroke. She writhed beneath me when I slid a finger into her wet heat, pumping into her while milking her tender flesh.

She ran her fingers through my hair, clenching the roots when I pumped into her faster, deeper, my tongue swirling and swirling until she cried out my name, her flesh throbbing against my tongue, her juices flowing into my mouth.

After she melted into the carpet with a satisfied sigh, I climbed up the length of her body, and we peeled away the rest of our clothes before coming together once more. I lavished each of her breasts with tender kisses, molding her nipples into firm peaks. How I loved her full breasts, especially the way she gasped when I licked and suckled her pert, dusky nipples. We whispered sweet words of love to one another, and my heart soared along with my lust. Sweat beaded on my brow and neck as she clung to my shoulders, her welcoming, wet heat encompassing me while I rocked into her. My wings propelled us forward, pushing us closer to the hearth with each thrust, our bodies slapping together, our cries of ecstasy filling the warm air. My balls tightened, pleasure rippling through me as we both soared to the heavens together, only coming down for breath before we joined again.

I no longer cared about sleep as I made love to my beautiful mate. The world could be burning around us, and all that mattered was Shiri in my arms, my cock buried deep inside her, her cries of pleasure stirring my primal lust and the need to make her call out my name again and again. Who could care about anything else when heaven beckoned?

Shiri

I SNUGGLED IN NIKKOS’Sarms, his wings wrapped around me like my own personal feather quilt. Oh, how I wished I could let the steady beating of his heart lull me into a deep slumber. I should’ve been tired after our vigorous lovemaking, but I waswide awake, restlessly stirring, a contrast to the two cherubs who sweetly slept beside us.

How had I agreed to this? Aligning with the sorceress who’d tried to kill my parents. Who wanted to kill Tari and me when we were still in the womb. Who still wanted to kill my sister. Malvolia wasn’t just a fly caught in the mind spinner’s web of deception. Hapless victims didn’t put a price on babies’ heads. And now I was trusting her not with just my life, but the lives of two innocent children. What would she do to me if I didn’t kill Tari? What would she do to the children?

I’d heard tale of the sorceress queen’s choking magic. Would my siren voice be powerful enough to defeat her? If I couldn’t, I would slit my own throat before being forced to kill my sister. I prayed it would never come to that, but I wouldn’t harm Tari. I would not continue the cycle that Malvolia had so cruelly inflicted upon my mother.

Nikkos stirred beside me, brushing his lips across my brow. “You need to get some sleep, darling,” he murmured in my ear, his voice deep and thick with fatigue. “We have a long day tomorrow.”

I breathed out a shaky breath. “She expects me to defeat my sister.”

He stilled, his breaths shallow. “I know.”

I sat up, looking down at him as his wings fell away from us, flattening against the bed. Moonlight danced across the bed’s sheer curtains, bathing us in a soft, ethereal glow. Beside us, Aurora and Ember were in a deep slumber, Aurora with her mouth hanging open, Ember with her head on her sister’s shoulder while she suckled her thumb. These poor children didn’t ask to be orphaned, to be thrown into the heart of a war between vindictive and evil forces. They wanted tarts and dolls and a family who would love and protect them.

I would kill for them.
