It's true. I am soaking wet. My clit is throbbing almost painfully, and my need keeps escalating. I’m almost ready to beg. Almost. But it would seem he’s about to shove his hugenessinside me. Perhaps I will manage a release soon. Surely he won’t torment me all night.
“Kaiden.” I’m not certain why I say his name, but I need to know. Need to know we’re forever. I never planned to marry. I’d decided being alone was best. Safest. Until I met him. Until he stormed into my life and disrupted all my plans. Now all I want is for us to belong to one another. For the next few thousand years.
“Yes, sweet Mira?”
“When we mate, that means we’ll be tied together until death parts us, right? Is fae mating, um, stronger than marriage vows?” I don’t need a wedding or to utter traditional human marriage vows in a temple, but I wasn’t raised fae and I want to make sure I understand what I’m getting myself into.
His eyes soften, and he strokes his knuckles along my cheek. “Yes, Mira, until death parts us. Fae mating bonds are stronger than marriage vows. Vows can be broken, but a mating bond cannot. It’s the will of the gods that we’ll be together forever.” He draws in a long breath. “But even without the bond, I suspect I would’ve been drawn to you. Your spirit enchants me, I’m enthralled by your beauty, and everything about you captivates me. I could not imagine spending a day without you. Try to run from me again, sweet Mira, and see how quickly I hunt you down. You’re mine. My mate. Forfuckingever.”
Maybe it’s a little messed up but hearing him threaten to hunt me down isn’t just exciting, it also brings me comfort. And the sweet words he uttered before that part? Be still my heart. I wrap my arms around him and draw him down for a lingering kiss. My face heats when I taste my essence on his lips.
“I’m ready,” I say in a breathless tone once we break apart. “I’m ready to mate with you.”
“Are you now?” His eyes dance with a hint of mockery, and I get the sense that he’s not going to be very gentle. Eventhough it’s my first time, he’s going to claim me with all the passion that’s building inside him. My pussy clenches and for the umpteenth time in his presence, I find myself struggling for air.
“Yes.” I part my thighs wider and lurch upward, pushing my center against his hard appendage.
He growls and grasps my hips, then guides his length directly to my core. He holds my gaze as he pushes the tip of his shaft inside, and oh gods how it stretches me. I strive not to reveal any discomfort. But it doesn’t really hurt. At least not yet. The pleasure far surpasses what little pain I’m feeling, though I suspect that might not be the case once he’s fully submerged in my depths.
“Forever,” he says with another growl. Then he tightens his hold on my hips and surges so very deep, driving all the way inside me in one rapid thrust. Without warning, there’s a flash of light as his wings appear, and I don’t think he summoned them on purpose. A second later, they vanish in another flash.
“Oh!” I cry out and gasp at the brief but intense sting. But it fades within seconds and the delicious fullness of his cock causes me to tremble with bliss.
He stills in my depths and stares down at me, his eyes flashing with concern. That concern warms my heart. More than once, he’s promised never to hurt me. But this was an inevitable pain, and in a strange way, I liked it. Even though I know we’re just getting started, it marked the moment I became his.
“Are you all right?” he asks, still motionless inside me.
“I’m fine, really.” I admire the sight of his bare chest gleaming in the ussha lights, and my mouth goes dry as I take in the full picture of his masculine beauty. “You can start moving now,” I say, hoping he’ll commence thrusting in and out of my depths. The ache in my core throbs with an intensity that keeps stealing my breaths, and instinct tells me a bit offriction will help take the edge off. I’m desperate for relief, and I keep wondering what it’ll feel like when he climaxes inside me. When he spills his seed. I’ve heard enough bawdy talk on the streets of Trevos, and perhaps borrowed enough romance novels from Yvette over the years, that I have a fairly good idea what to expect. My inner walls clamp down on his length as my anticipation mounts, and I revel in the groan this pulls from him.
Kaiden shoots me a heated look and starts withdrawing from my center, slowly, very gradually, then he gives me a wicked look and shoves straight back inside, filling me up with his hugeness once again.
My head whirls as I writhe against him, frantic for more.
To my relief, he does it a second time and soon sets a rapid pace of thrusting in and out, claiming me as his. I open my thighs wider and tuck my legs around his body, allowing him to go deeper than I ever imagined possible. His growling moans reverberate through me, and his scrotum smacks into my ass cheeks with each rapid plunge in my aching center.
Euphoria rises and doesn’t stop. Suddenly, I shatter, the pleasure cascading through me in waves of blissful sensation. Oh gods,yes.
“That’s it, little nymph,” Kaiden says as he fucks me faster. “Come for me. Be a sweet little female and come on my cock.”
CHAPTER 22
KAIDEN
It takesall my self-control not to climax at the same instant as Mira. Her pussy clamps down on my shaft so hard that dark spots mar my vision. I blink fast to clear the dizziness and stare down at my sweet, beautiful mate. Mira.
I’ve never put much thought into how long I wished to live until she became mine. Now that we’re together, I find myself hoping I’ll break age records among my people just so I have more time with her. An eternity isn’t long enough.
Her wavy hair is splayed around her head on the moss bed, and she peers up at me with those familiar green eyes in which I could happily drown.
How did I manage to resist her for weeks?
If I’d known how sweet she tasted and how prettily she moaned when excited, I might have grabbed her and rutted her in the receiving hall on Tribute Day.
“Kaiden,” she moans my name as her pussy finishes contracting around my plunging length, and something inside my soul shifts.
The warmth that fills me is endless as the skies, and my devotion for her knows no limits.
I hasten the pace of my thrusts, driving my cock between her quivering thighs again and again.
