Page 139 of A Soul to Embrace

Something tickled the back of his wrist. Jabez frowned since he hadn’t been expecting anything. He flipped his hand over and shoved his hand through whatever it was in curiosity. His fingertips dived through wispy fur, just as something thin, hard, and long butted up against the webbing between his middle and ring fingers.

Zylah stiffened in surprise as his eyes opened wide and his cock jerkedhardin realisation. A palpable groan fell from him and his mind rasped,Holy shit. Her tail feels like a fucking cloud.

It was so damn soft that its wispy ends tickled his entire palm as he brushed through it. The pad of his thumb stroked up the hard length of her tail bone before flicking the very tip.

Zylah let out a strangled gasp, and what he was doing struck him. He was fondling her tail like a pervert until his cock had become fully erect and throbbed within his trousers. In his defence, he hadn’tmeantto do it, but he’d been thrilled to finally touch it, knowing it felt as fluffy as it looked.

“Fuck, sorry,” he grated out, ripping his hand away as his face, ears, and neck heated in embarrassment – and arousal. Thankfully she wouldn’t see the way both emotions crinkled his features with him pressed against her chest.

“It’s okay,” she stated quietly. “You don’t have to stop.”

She even wiggled her hips and dipped them back in search of his hand, and he almost lost his mind.

I shouldn’t,he told himself. Desire was already boiling in his blood and racing through his cock, and continuing to touch her tail would only make him want to touch other places.

At least he had fed his curiosity so it wouldn’t linger in the back of his mind.

Jabez let out a small sigh and loosened his arms even more. He should just do what he came here to do. He’d be better off getting it over with, and he prepared himself for a painful argument.

“Zylah, I can’t sta–” A choked gasp rent out of him when she grabbed the ends of his hair and tugged his head back with it. Pain lanced up his overextended throat as she suddenly forced him to look up at her.

One moment his lips were parted, and the next, a tongue was shoved between them. He’d never had someone successfully dominate him like this before, and shock had him pausing as her tongue swiped over the top of his. She gave a moan as she cupped the side of his head to keep herself to him.

That little sound she made and the feel of her tongue twisting and catching on his fangs was enough to make his body pulsate. If it had been anyone else, he may have bitten her tongue to prove a point. Instead, a hungry growl slipped from him.

How fast he gave in was utterly pitiful, but the cold pang in his chest had eroded away from her wiles so swiftly that he was left reeling. He wasn’t really willing to catch himself.

She gasped when he sucked on her tongue hard, and she retracted it in surprise, while fighting the power of his suction to get away.

“How do you like it when someone does it back to you?” He shoved his head forward and licked across her front teeth, black jagged Mavka fangs, and then her jaw.

She gifted him another little moan and turned her skull to the side like she wanted to escape him. “You licked me!”

He had no idea why she was so surprised about that.

Maybe it was simply his need to win everything like a competitive bastard, but he wanted to see her squirm after yanking on his fucking hair. He shoved his hand beneath the skirt of her navy dress and drew his sharp nails down her spine until he reached her tail.

A squeak mingling with a sharp hitch of breath tore out of her, and she shoved her hips against his waist just as the fluffy tuft wiggled like crazy. Which instantly had him groaning as he grasped it, just as the scent of her sudden and deep arousal flittered around his senses.

He drew his nails down her spine again, although slower, and her reaction was even more intense.She’s sensitive here, like I knew she would be,he thought, as he tickled his fingertips just above her hips.

While her body trembled and arched in reaction to his touch, she sat down properly. Her kneadable thighs pillowed the top of his own when her round arse landed in his lap like she’d lost the strength in her legs. With his cock nestled between her cheeks, he felt each of her wiggles against it.

He knew then that he was an actual idiot, and a very greedy man, but he was really fucking horny now, and unbearablyweakto her. He also realised he didn’t actually want to leave her, because in the depths of his messed-up, twisted being, he godsdamned liked her for unknown reasons.

What he did know was she felt warm and sensual in his arms, she feltsafe, and she smelt pretty. Her otherworldly beauty kept tantalising him, so different to this human world in the same way he was. And her personality was sweet, gentle, and charming in all of its unwitting wiles.

Instead of pulling away like heshould,he leaned forward, panting deeply, and kissed the corner of her jaw. When she shivered and turned her head away from him, he kissed over the collar of her neck fur before nipping hard enough through it for her to feel it.

Just as he reached up with his free hand to grasp the back of her dress and pull it down, he paused before he made a foolish mistake.Fuck. Don’t,he told himself. He buried his forehead against the crook of her neck as he cringed at himself, at what he was doing, what he wasaboutto do.

He wasn’t a good person; he knew this. Them sharing pleasure was only going to make everything harder – for her, for himself. Especially with whatever emotions were being tangled between them.

He didn’t care about how it impacted him negatively, but it was unfair on her. He’d been bearing the weight of guilt and regret his whole life, no matter how painful it was. She’d done nothing to deserve him gifting that to her.

Yet every time he managed to wrestle his lust back in check, she somehow unravelled him.

“Why do you keep stopping?” she rasped, her voice laden with arousal, the air clogging and thick with the scent of it.
