Page 70 of Riot of Autumn

“I dreamed of kissing you, even back then. We’ve spent years dancing around each other, but in the depths of my soul, I always knew we belonged together. Our path to get here might have taken some detours. I’ve fucked up. You’ve kept me at an arm’s length for a long time. But the destination has always been the same for me. It’s you. You’re where I want to end up. You’re the home that’s never existed anywhere else. Adding a magical bond isn’t going to make a damn bit of difference to me. We’re connected, no matter what. But if our bond allows us to get rid of those Fairy fucks once and for all, then I’m all in.”

I exhale, the weight on my chest feeling lighter after getting all those words out. Ruby stares at me like I’ve got two heads. When the seconds tick by and she doesn’t say anything in return, some of that heaviness returns.

“Ruby?” I whisper just before she launches herself on top of me.

She kisses me so hard our teeth clash. I laugh and murmur her name again, but she doesn’t give me a chance to get anything else out. Her hands are on my cheeks, and she pushes me onto my back to straddle me. I roll over, because why the hell wouldn’t I?

My towel was already precariously hanging on, and the movement has it flipping open. Ruby’s towel falls from her body, and I break the kiss to stare up at her, admiring the soft curves of her hips. I worship her with my hands, running them over her waist and up her sides to cup her breasts, relishing the fact that I get to touch her like this.

Axil jumps off the bed with an annoyed groan and flops down on the floor with a huff.

“You look really damn smug.” Ruby raises an eyebrow at me when she pulls away from our kiss.

“Do you blame me? You’re fucking perfect.”

“When did you become such a kiss ass?” Ruby grins and then squeals when I grip her waist and flip her onto her back. Her legs wrap around my waist, cradling me between her perfect thighs.

“I’ll show you how good of an ass kisser I am.” I drag my mouth down her chest, pausing to flick my tongue over one nipple before moving on to suck the other into my mouth.

Ruby’s back arches, and her hands clasp the back of my head to hold me close, but there are other places on her body that I need to taste. She groans when my mouth leaves her breast, trailing down her stomach, to the apex of her thighs.

I look up at her, and her eyes are dark and needy as she watches me. Her tongue darts out to wet her lips. “All talk, I see.”

With a half growl, half chuckle, I lower my head and taste her with one long lick. Ruby’s body shudders as I do it again, groaning against her pussy as I suck her clit. She’s soaked and I lap it up, my cock aching at the thought of how fucking warm she’ll be when I drive into her.

“I’ve fucking dreamed of getting my mouth on you again.”

One of her hands lands on my head, the other fisting the sheets as she writhes under my tongue.

“Your dreams are very altruistic.”

“Do you know how fucking hard it gets me, knowing that I make you this wet?”

“Oh, shit,” Ruby moans, bucking her hips, chasing my mouth.

I swirl my tongue over her clit and down her pussy, fucking her with my tongue. Her whole body trembles, a live wire beneath my hands and mouth. I wrap my arms around her thighs, holding her down and spreading her wider for me to devour. Ruby squeals when I lift her and then starts giggling when I kiss her ass cheek.

Ruby giggles.

I didn’t know she was capable of that sound, but it’s going to be my new life goal to get her to make it as often as possible. My mouth curves into a smile as I trail kisses over her thigh. My mouth carves a heated path back to her pussy, where I focus all my attention on making her squirm.

Ruby’s hips buck under the ministrations of my tongue, words dripping from her mouth in a babble of nonsense.

“There. God. Don’t stop. Don’t you dare fucking stop doing exactly that. Ezra!”

She screams out my name as her orgasm seizes her body. Everything tenses and then she’s shaking as she comes all over my tongue.

I move back up her body, dropping kisses and sucking on her skin on my way. When I hit the tattoo on her ribs that I gave her, I lick the ink, loving that I’m always with her, even in a small way.

Ruby makes a sexy sound that has my dick throbbing, but I don’t hurry, wanting to take things slow this time. To savor the feel of her body and the fact that she’s allowing me to take care of her needs. For Ruby, it’s a huge declaration that she trusts me, and that isn’t something easily won from her.

Ruby’s legs slide up to cradle my sides as I lower my weight onto her body. She blinks up at me with eyes that are liquid and dazed. Her lips are swollen and pink, so temptingly parted that I have to kiss her again. It’s a slow and drugging kiss at first, until Ruby’s hands snake around my neck. Her fingers dig into my shoulder and the nape of my neck, and her hips shift beneath me, her soaked pussy coating my dick.

I don’t break the kiss or pull away as I shift my hips until I’m pressing into her. Ruby groans against my mouth as I work my cock inside her. She’s so fucking wet, but I still take my time, driving a little deeper with each thrust. My muscles are strained, and my fists clenched to hold on to the last bit of my control. Ruby makes a desperate sound, and it sends a pulse of pleasure rippling down my back.

I pull back and then thrust into her until I’m buried deep inside her. Ruby’s mouth breaks from mine as her back arches. I bury my face in her neck, licking and sucking as my hips grind and move.

I lift my head, holding Ruby’s face in my palms as I fuck her like I’ve dreamed of for years. Her green eyes look brighter, open and exposed, and it spears me straight through the heart.
