Swollen and messy, my pussy aches as my limbs shake and his hand drifts between us. Rubbing my clit, his mouth finds my nipple and with a sharp tug, I shout out, senses overwhelmed.
My climax comes hard and fast like lightning over the horizon. I shout out, lungs tight as my head spins, thoughts gone.
Hecontinues thrusting into me, never breaking stride as his smile presses against my temple. Ecstasy so intense floods my senses as my body rides the wave and he bites my shoulder, growling into my ear. His seed floods me moments later, and he collapses, whimpering as a smaller orgasm shakes through me.
Gods. Smiling, body shuddering, I drop back on to the carpet, eyelids heavy. I think I could love him if that happens every time.
He lifts his head, peering down at me, brow furrowed.
Lifting my hand, I touch his cheek. “What?”
Softly, he shakes his head, pulling the blanket over us. The fire is nothing more than flickering embers and the chill of the room is starting to drift over my skin.
“Nothing,” he replies, forehead wrinkled as he tries to put pieces of a puzzle together. “Sleep, pet. I’ve got you.” He tucks me against him and I nod, content to be in his arms.
Chapter 39
Kaden
“What are you doing?”
Fee looks up at me, sharpening her sword as I close the cabin door. Like our cabin, clothes had been left early that morning with a few other necessities to show the village’s good hospitality.
I know Wulf. This is all an act. The man would sooner eat you alive, than be kind to you.
Her dress is simple, grey, made from satin with long leggings underneath and her dusty boots. The cowl is made from the pelt of agreyrabbit, most likely caught by a shifter.
I refused to wear his bribes. Dressed in my dirty leathers, I cross my arms, eyebrow raised.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean,” she drawls, dropping the blade to the ground beside her. “What are you doing with the blood summoner?”
We both look back at the cabin, Max’s form resting in the pile of blankets on the fur rug I left her in.
Turning to my little sister, I lean back against the door, smirking. “I thought that was pretty obvious, Fee.”
She rolls her eyes. “You can pretend to hide behind that arrogantheir mask you love to show Father and the Dark Court, but we both know that’s not who you are.” She stands, poking me in the chest. “You are not heartless, brother.”
If it were anyone else, I’d remind them of the power I possess. How I do not cower from those around me.
But Fee is different. She’s seen me at my weakest and has loved me regardless of the darkness in my soul. Even when I deserved less.
“So, I’ll ask again: What are you doing, Kaden?”
Licking my lips, I drop the mask and shrug. “I don’t know, Fee,” I say quietly. “I had a plan. That plan can still work. It’s just?—”
“Complicated,” she finished, pinching her brow. “Of course, it is. I knew this was going to happen.”
“You didn’t know this,” I gesture to the cabin at my back, “was going to happen.” She didn’t know my heart would feel as if it’s been fused into one piece, begging to never be apart.
“No?” She smiles, shaking her head at me in disbelief. “I knew it the moment you saw her. Something was different with her, but you didn’t want to listen. You thought you could play her and it just backfired.Fantastically.”
Growling, I push off the cabin and stalk into the woods.
“I’m still going to bring her to Father. He’ll be satisfied with what she can do.” Even as I say it, my gut twists.
I can’t give her to him, not entirely, but if I can play this right…
