Epilogue
January's End
Cody
The last week of January flew by in a flurry of activity.
First, we got out of that horrible warehouse and they patched Toth up with what little magic Oak had left. The alpha, Blake, apologized for not bringing a healer with them. I was grateful they had come at all, so I told him so. A healer didn’t matter. Toth would recover.
Remembering our conversation from the journey over, Deke asked Toth about the apples and drew his alpha into conversation about sourcing some to taste and test for cider making. We sent the shifters away with thanks and promises to meet soon. It made me smile to see my mate so hopeful about his farm’s future. He wanted to create something good, not be used for his magic. A new venture with the shifters would be healing for his soul as he recovered from Basil’s cruelty.
The coven witches took an exhausted Oak home. I extracted a promise to help us set up a permanent portal somewhere guarded until we could find a forever home in Northarbor, or even Sweetwater. The shifters were great. They already had elves, so maybe they’d welcome a couple of demons into the fold.
Now that we could get into his castle, I took Toth home to rest and heal.
We spent a few days there on the farm before Damon demanded we visit him and take him back with us to Toth’s castle.
I now lived in a freaking castle run by magic. With magic of my own! My life didn’t seem real to me anymore.
Mori was staying with us. He’d visited court to get us recognized as princes for extra protection, as he called it. He believed in our bond and the new name that I’d gifted Toth with. However, the prince title came with other perks besides being unable to be put under contract. In the human realm, we would have more legal recourse against discrimination. Like the anti-demon policy that my employer upheld. As a prince, that didn’t apply to me. I couldn’t be contracted, so I couldn’t be an industrial spy, for example. I was held to a higher standard as royalty, so wouldn’t use influence without consequences. It was up to me if I wanted to do anything with my new power. In the meantime, I was just getting to know my dad and spending time with my mate.
A mate that had a very important visit this morning.
Toth was still sleeping, his wings away in the void, the rest of him stretched out on the mattress naked. We had some time to enjoy it just being the two of us before Mori escorted our visitors here to the farm. I wanted to show my mate just how much he meant to me.
I’d showered and prepped myself. Then it was time to wake him with some loving. I mapped out every inch of skin I could reach with my lips and tongue, enjoying the smoky taste and scent of his skin. His cock was hard and leaking as he turned over and pinned me with a heated stare. “Hmm, what a lovely way to wake up,” his voice was sleep roughened and rumbled through me.
“I want to ride you,” I said as I crawled into his lap. He shuffled into a seated position, his arms around me, holding me steady.
“I didn’t think you bottomed. We don’t have to do it that way.”
“No, I do. It just isn’t my preference, but I woke up and really just wanted to feel what your thick cock would feel like inside me.”
He groaned, a low sound that made me shiver in anticipation.
I reached behind me, magicked some oil so I could coat him with it, and took him in my slicked hand. I worked him for a few minutes until he was gasping and begging for me to fuck him.
Backing up a little, I positioned him at my entrance, then slowly, since he was girthy, sank down on him until my ass was resting on his groin. I moaned at the fullness and started to ride him.
Toth grasped my hips, helping me work us both over. My tail snaked out, teased his nipples, then moved to his balls. With a thought, I had it lubed so it could give Toth more pleasure.
“Cody!” he rasped as it teased his entrance.
“Want it?” My hips worked faster as I neared my orgasm.
“Yes!” he panted.
He tensed as it breached him, his balls drawing up.
I hit my breaking point as he reached up and pulled my face in for a kiss. He licked deep into my mouth before breaking away to breathe. He kissed a path over my jaw. I came when he licked my sensitive, pointed ear. “Oh, my goddess! Fuck!”
My mate took over then. He planted his feet and fucked up into me. All it took was a few thrusts, and he filled me with his release.
With care, he pulled his softening cock out of me. Then we collapsed into a sweaty pile of limbs.
“Always wake me up like that,” Toth said, pleasure written in every line of his body.
“Maybe not always, but as often as we can.” I reached for my phone and made a noise of frustration. “As much as I’d love to stay in bed with you all day... we better shower and get dressed for our meeting.”
