"Come here, Firefly," Faris said, his voice soothing as he patted the spot beside him on the bed.
This was the first time the two of us had been alone and I was suddenly very aware of that fact. I just wasn't sure how to interact with him. Did he see us as a couple? Technically, I hadn't even known that he existed until earlier today. As though he knew my thoughts, he chuckled.
"Don't be nervous. We've already done butt stuff. What is there to be anxious about after that?" He lifted a dark brow and I laughed.
"In all fairness, I thought I was doing butt stuff with him." I pointed to Fischer and sat down beside Faris.
"Mmm, well, now you can do butt stuff with both of us. Separately. Or together, if you wish."
"Are we really discussing butt stuff while Khol and Bram are on a rescue mission and Fischer is passed out?" I asked, shaking my head. My smile stuck though. He was really great at putting me at ease.
"If you'd prefer action instead of discussion, that could be arranged.” Faris reached out and twirled a lock of my hair around his finger before bringing it to his nose and inhaling deeply. His dark lashes fluttered and he visibly trembled. I just stared at him; he was psycho intense and also like… really fucking strange with his mannerisms.
That means you wanna bone him.My inner witch piped up and I blushed at my own dirty thoughts.
No, it means I find him fascinating,I argued with myself.
You wanna ride his crazy train. And by train, I mean his big ol’ crazy coc—
Faris sighed and I snapped to attention, banishing the hussy that lived within. He stretched out, piercing me with his dark gaze andohmymoonmaidensthat was not helping. “I'm basically a virgin, you know? Wanna deflower me real quick? Just say butt stuff one more time."
"Oh my gods, stop," I laughed and flopped back on the bed, scooting up so that I was lying in the middle.
"I'm gonna hold you. I'm also a cuddle virgin," Faris grinned and slid up beside me, tucking me snugly against his body. My head rested on his shoulder, his arm stretched along my back, while his hand gripped my hip like he had every right to do so. It felt right.
"Faris?" I whispered, not sure if I should ask.
"Yeah?"
"Are we... together? Like, like I am with the others?"
He stilled and shifted so that he was able to look down at my face.
"Did you doubt it? I know I just got a body and everything, but don't you feel it? The pull. The connection?" He looked stricken and I felt like an asshole.
"Yes, yes of course I feel it. I just, I don't know— I wanted to know that you did, too,” I admitted. My cheeks were burning as he continued studying me.
"I feel it, Firefly. It's consuming me," he rasped. Our faces were now just a breath apart, if he just moved in the tiniest bit closer...
"Kiss me, Faris," I whispered, my voice husky with need.
My eyes fluttered shut as his lips brushed against mine. Soft and timid. Virginal. That thought had me strangely excited. I'd never been anyone's first and now I had a mage who was not only an unhinged, zero fucks giving psychopath, but also a virgin!
I parted my lips, flicking my tongue out to lick the seam of his mouth. He shivered at the contact and granted me access that I quickly took advantage of. My tongue slid against his gently at first, letting him get used to the feeling. When he groaned, I kissed him with more determination and he met me movement for movement.
A sharp sensation on my tongue startled me and I started to retreat. Metallic, coppery liquid filled my mouth and Faris sucked my entire tongue into his mouth. The entire situation was erotic and depraved... I'd never done anything like this.I guess I can be fucking five guys on the regular and still learn new tricks.
Moaning, I threw my leg over his hip. I could feel his cock pressing against my stomach and he rocked his hips against me. I wasn't the only one turned the fuck on.
Too soon, he pulled back, breathing heavily. His lips were stained with my blood, his fangs elongated. Faris looked like the love child of danger, risky decisions, and sex. My inner witch really wanted to sit on his face. Hussy.
"I came in my pants," he said softly, eyebrows lifted in shock.
I couldn't stop myself. A giggle slipped past my lips and I smiled at my lusty blood mage. "Not a virgin at making out or dry humping anymore. Good work."
The tension visibly left his body and his shoulders relaxed.
"High five?" He held his hand up and I slapped the shit out of it.
