My heart swells in affection for this woman. “I love you too.”
“Do you want to stay in bed or get up and go for a walk?” she offers.
Normally I’d be up for a walk, even if it was windy or rainy or in the middle of the night, like now, but I shake my hand. “Let’s not wake up Charlie,” I say. “School starts for her tomorrow.”
“Right.” Ella nods.
For a while silence lingers around us. “She will come around,” I tell her, finally deciding to voice what she is scared of. “I know she hasn’t quite accepted me yet, but that’s okay.”
“Are you sure?” Ella asks, worried.
“Yes, you are her first real connection to her family, everything that’s left,” I say. “She is only fifteen and has only known me for a few weeks. I can handle it.”
“If you ever feel like you can’t, tell me,” Ella says. “I think we really need to communicate well.”
“Alright.” I sit up a bit, feeling a bit lighter already. I wrap my arms around her to pull her closer. “I think we are doing quite well.”
We have never recovered that fast,Sylvan says proudly.Having mate here with us and our niece next door helps.
“We do.” Ella smiles. “Took us a while, though.”
She is right. In the beginning, we were probably bonding due to our trauma, both of us terrified to open up. I still am scared to lose her; well aware Sylvan and I won’t be able to survive the loss of a mate a second time, but I never regret having accepted her as my mate. It’s worth the risk.
“So, what now?” I ask while Ella straddles my hips.
“Hm,” Ella hums. “How about we read something together?”
“You want to read for me?” I ask, amused.
“We could take turns,” she offers. “Or is that weird? It’s weird, isn’t it?”
“No.” I smile. “It’s a beautiful idea.”
“It is,” she says, her smile turning into a smirk. “But maybe afterwards.”
“Afterwards…” I raise my brows while helping her to get rid of her pajama top. “After what?”
Ella just laughs. “You have never been good at teasing me. Too honest, I guess.” She bends forward. “But I don’t mind,” she whispers. “I can tease you instead.”
I thank the goddess that we agreed to have our room soundproofed. At that point of time, we didn’t expect to live with a kid soon, but we just wanted to be prepared for all eventualities. For once my control issues paid off.
Ella entwines our fingers, pressing down on my hands for balance while she lowers herself on my cock. Feeling her walls tighten around me is the best feeling in the world. It’s fast and rough this time, with us both chasing our urges. Ella’s palms move to my chest and then up to my neck. She bends down further for a kiss. My own hands move up her spine and through her hair, pulling her down further while I thrust up into her.
“Fuck,” she moans when I hit her sweet spot, making her arch her back and revealing her perky breasts to me. I bite into one of her nipples before sucking at it. Meanwhile, Ella moves her hand between our bodies to touch her clit.
Fuck, she is so hot. Everything about her is amazing.
“Ella,” I groan, grabbing her by her hips and turning us over. I grab her to pull her closer, burying my dick deeper into her.
This gives me a better angle to pleasure her.
“Faster,” she begs.
I oblige, snapping my hips forward while pulling Ella up. She digs her nails into my back, drawing a growl from me. Ella pushes her hips against mine, meeting me midway, her walls clenching around my cock until I feel the pressure turning almost unbearable.
Neither of us holds back, both chasing our release, until we drop down next to each other, sated.
“This was what I needed,” Ella breathes out, as always so honest. I always found that endearing about her.
