Page 75 of Broken Shadows

I close my eyes and breathe through a primal growl.Keep it together, Lorcan. Now is not the time to be blinded by pussy. But she smells mouthwatering. Fuck. No.My eyes blink open, then I pull back the covers and lie flat on my back. “Come here.”

My heart throbs as my witch curls into my side and rests her head on the junction of my chest and shoulder. I inhale slowly, exhaling a long, luxurious sigh and relax each of my muscles one by one.

“Goodnight, Lor,” Evie murmurs through a yawn.

“Goodnight, Little Witch.”

I press a kiss to the top of her hair, then close my eyes, a soothing warmth blooming behind my ribs.

My eyes blink open, then I push a hand through my hair. Fuck. I forgot how disorienting it is not having day or night, not to mention the weather. I allowed the subtle nuances of the Shadow and Human Realm to force me into complacency.

Scratch.

Scratch.

Scratch.

My shoulder’s tense. Oh, good. I was wondering how quickly the bat would come pester us. I skim a knuckle down Evie’s sleeping face, then slide quietly from the bed. My fingers lightly brush the wooden floor as I snatch my mask, slip into a pair of sweats I discovered earlier, then crack open the door. Gomez clings to the top of the frame and squeaks in my face.

A grimace contorts my features. “Quiet, Fluffy Fucker. Our witch is sleeping. Come with me.” I gently poke him in the fluffy belly, then duck under him. Gomez’s head swivels to mine, then he drops into the air. “For fuck’s sake,” I hiss as he flies past me, clipping my cheek with his wing.

If this little shit wasn’t her familiar…

“If you listen, I’ll supply you with those damn berries you love so much.”

The bat chirps quietly, then lands onmy fucking shoulder.I force measured breaths into my lungs, then stalk across the hall to the only other unoccupied bedroom and place him on the bed. “I don’t know what room Human Rainbow is in or I’d send you to her.” Mind made up, I gather extra blankets from the wooden trunk at the foot of the bed and arrange them into a nest. Gomez watches me with what I fucking swear is a batty version of a smirk. “There. Happy?”

He just stares at me further with those beady, black eyes. This little asshole. “I’ll be right back.” I trudge down the stairs and into the kitchen, not bothering to light any candles. An ominous weight presses on my shoulders, but I ignore it.

Fucking house.

Fucking bat.

I cross my arms and glower around the cooking space. Something prompts me to scan the counter again, then I spot them—a carton overflowing with ripe blueberries. I could ponder how exactly they appeared just as I thought about them, but at the moment, I don’t fucking care. Actually, while I’m here, I might as well get food for Evie too.

I grab a wooden tray from the table, then heap it with the blueberries, chocolate truffles, strawberries, and a container of orange and cranberry scones from the cupboard. My footsteps thud quietly as I jog back up the stairs and into the room with Gomez.

I drop the container of blueberries next to him, a couple berries spilling onto the bedding, then stride to my room as Fluffy Fucker purrs and snuggles deeper into the nest of blankets.

Evie’s deep, even breaths soothe my agitation as I close the door and set the tray of food on the dresser. My cock hardens painfully the longer I stare at her sleeping form. I slip a hand past my waistband and stroke myself, swirling my thumb through the pre-cum. Lust consumes my every thought, and I thrust into my fist without the conscious thought to do so. I pad over to Evie’s side of the bed on near silent feet, kicking off my sweats and resume pleasuring myself.

Has she slept enough?

I want to bury myself in her needy cunt so fucking badly.

As if the thought summoned it, I choke on a moan as an orgasm rips through me. My fingers grasp the side of the headboard, and I jerk my cock feverishly as cum spurts all over the blanket, Evie’s rose and skull tattooed arm, shoulder, and neck, plus the side of her face. I bite my tongue hard enough to draw blood as pleasure threatens to send me to my knees.Fuuuuuuuuck.

My witch moans. “Holy shit that’s hot.”

My gaze darts to Evie’s as she smirks, gathering my cum from her cheek, and sucking it off her finger.

I pant as I crawl over her and roll onto my back, taking her with me. My fingers wrap around her throat, dragging her face down to me and lick the rest of my orgasm from her face.

Evie rolls her hips against mine. “Ahhg… Oh, gods.”

I growl against her lips and cut through her sleep shorts with a claw on either side. “Ride me, Little Witch.”
