One day, if she’ll let me, I want to explore all her curves first with my tongue, then with my fingers, learning and memorizing her taste and all the sounds I can coax out of her. But today, the sense of urgency and fear she might change her mind, win over.

And so, for once in my life, I decide not to overthink it.

With a groan, I position myself at her entrance, taking a moment to savor the tantalizing friction between us. Then, in one smooth motion, I plunge deep inside her, feeling every inch of her tight, wet heat surrounding me. It’s almost too much to bear, my knees momentarily buckling under the intense pleasure, but I quickly regain my balance and pull back before thrusting into her again and again while leaning in to swallow the moans I’m coaxing from her lips.

But then she whimpers against my mouth, and that’s my undoing.

“Fuck,”I growl against her lips. I hike her hips up higher to get a better angle, doubling my pace as I thrust deep. And it feels like pure ecstasy, the way her pussy clenches and throbs around me like I was made to fit inside of her.

“Simon,” she whines, her fingernails digging into my shoulder as she tries to hold back her sounds, which only makes me more determined to draw them out.

Lilith’s lips pull away from mine, leaving a trail of hot kisses down my throat before settling on my shoulder where she sinks her teeth in possessively. That’ll leave a mark for certain and I never want it to disappear.

“You feel incredible. So damn perfect,” I pant, my voice rough.

Her body trembles against mine. My arm tightens around her, holding her close while I give into my need to explore with my other hand as it ventures down between her thighs. My fingers move quickly against her swollen clit, drawing little moans and gasps from her that echo through the tiled walls of the bathroom.

“I could do this forever,” I tell her, and it’s true. If I had control over my own body, I’d fuck her like this until the end of time. She consumes me entirely, and I know there’s no turning back from this. “Gods, your pussy is fucking glorious.” Better than I could’ve ever imagined.

Her eyes close, and she tips her head back, her teeth sinking into her bottom lip, while she moans. I know this sight will stay with me until the end of time. Everything about this moment has me aroused beyond comprehension.

“That’s my good girl. Taking my cock so well,” I praise her.

She responds by tightening around me, and it’s as if we’re both trapped in a haze of pleasure, unable to find our way out. I can’t get enough of the expression on her face, of her body against mine, of the sounds she’s making. Right now, it all belongs to me.

Lilith looks as if she’s barely coherent, holding on by a thread of bliss as I thrust my cock deep inside of her. She’s massaging me from all angles, pushing me toward the peak of ecstasy likeno one else ever has or ever will again. My forehead presses to hers, our lips only a breath away. I stare at her for a moment, and then a single request escapes my lips.

“Kiss me,” I say on a plea and she obliges.

Her mouth collides against mine and that’s all it takes to tip me over the edge. Then, almost as if on cue, Lilith finds her release right on time with my own, the flutters of her orgasm milking my cock for every last drop. She shudders in my arms with the aftereffects of her pleasure. I tighten my grip around her, keeping her close and realizing that my need to protect her is oddly soothed right this second.

I could hold her like this forever, my cock buried deep in her, and never want for anything else in my life, but the water of the shower suddenly goes cold and I realize Lilith is shivering, ruining my plans. Reluctantly, I place her feet on the floor, but all I can think about is kissing her again. And so, with a fierce longing, I lean down and press my lips to hers once more.

Right now, that’s all I need.

The soundof rain pounding against the windows, accompanied by distant rolls of thunder, brings me an odd sense of peace. There’s something soothing about the chaos of a storm; it feels like it can drown out the turmoil swirling inside my mind.

Lately, I’ve been needing that calm more than ever as I carefully weigh my every decision—not for myself, but for Lilith.

Despite the tempest raging outside, Headmistress Bennett has summoned the three of us for another meeting. None of us are particularly thrilled about it, but we all agree that following her lead is the safest path forward.

Keeping a low profile is essential if we want to avoid drawing any unwanted attention to Lilith.

As we walk down the long corridor leading to Bennett’s office, my steps are steady. Vaughn and Simon trail behind me, bickering as usual, their voices mixing with the storm’s symphony.

“Come on,” Vaughn breaks the silence, his tone teasing. “What’s with that sly grin? You’ve got that look that usually means you’ve gotten laid.”

I don’t need to turn around to picture Simon rolling his eyes in annoyance.

“Seriously? Why do you always have to make things awkward?” Simon retorts. “Can’t you just shut up for once?”

I glance back at them, conjuring a spark of magic between my fingertips. “Oh, that can be arranged… and I’d be happy to help.”

“Seriously? I thought we were friends,” Vaughn pouts, placing a hand over his heart in exaggerated pain.
