There was something primal about this witch that called to the half-feral part of me I’d spent the last two decades burying. Something that made our little game of chase through the woods the hottest foreplay I’d had in a long time. I wanted to bite her neck again, bite her everywhere, brand her skin like I owned her.
No longer trusting my dick not to find its way into her pussy of its own accord, I plunged in two thick fingers instead. Vasi cried out at the sudden intrusion, wrapping her legs around my waist and tilting her hips to grant me better access. And fuck, but she felt good—hot and wet and gripping my fingers like she’d never let me go.
“Nox,” she gasped, my name on her lips doing all sorts of shit to me that I didn’t want to admit. “I want you to fill me up.”
Jesus, FUCK, I’m not going to survive this.
I stuffed two more fingers inside her while my thumb burrowed into that sexy mess of hair to find her clit, smirking when she jerked at the contact. Throwing her head back as I violently pummeled into her, Vasi started making noises that sounded more animal than human, and before I knew what was happening, my lips were on hers.
The kiss was hard and hungry, threatening to make me forget my own name as I looped my other arm around her waist to pull her closer. Our tongues waged war—each battling for dominance as we tried to devour the other person. She bit down hard on my lip, and I snarled, slamming my hand into her pussy until I knew she’d feel it for days. My aggression seemed to spur her on as she fucked herself on my hand, wildly raking those deadly claws down my shoulders, shredding my shirt.
I need to get this shit under control!
Unceremoniously removing my hand mid-stroke, I flipped her onto her stomach over the altar, yanking her skirt up and exposing her backside to the elements. Placing my hand on the back of her neck again, I used my weight to hold her down as I plunged all four fingers back into her soaked pussy. This left my thumb against her asshole so I rammed that in as well, using only the falling rain as lube, knowing it probably stung like a bitch and growling in satisfaction as she cried out.
Another flash of lightning illuminated her perfect ass just as I felt her start to flutter and tighten around me. Leaning over, I bit down on the smooth skin of her cheek, unrelenting in my thrusts as she howled and bucked beneath me. Even when her shudders lessened, I kept going—withdrawing a finger to stroke her clit this time and forcing another orgasm out of her, whether she wanted it or not.
Extracting my hand, it was all I could do to not lick her cream from my fingers as I watched her pant against the stone slab, recovering from whatever had just happened between us.
I froze.
What the fuck did just happen?
Realizing my dick was only inches from her exposed pussy, with only my rain-drenched clothing separating us, I began to back away, desperately trying to remember which route would get me back to the hut. I even considered taking off in a random direction to see if I could find my way out of this cursed forest once and for all—away from this overwhelming pull she had on me—before it was too late.
Fuckfuckfuck.
“Nox,” her clear voice cut through my impending panic. “Come here.”
She was sitting up again, looking enticingly disheveled in the thin sliver of moonlight now breaking through the clouds. I felt a tug, another reminder of that bullshit tether drawing me toward her like a magnet. Halting at the altar, we stared at each other in charged silence a moment before her beautiful eyes lowered to my crotch. As my cock felt like it was ready to explode at this point, I didn’t resist when she started undoing my belt.
The moment her little hand closed around me, I knew I was a fucking goner, that there was no way I could stop her, stopthis.She added her other hand to fully circle my girth, claws lightly dragging while she pumped, gaze riveted to her work, which was fine by me. The last thing I wanted was for her to see whatever the fuck my face was doing as I felt myself rapidly careening toward release.
My skin prickled, tattoos throbbing like they had when I’d first gotten inked, that tether painfully twisting around my heart. The instant my balls tightened, I snatched Vasi’s face in my hands, desperate to have my lips on hers again, groaning against her mouth as I came. This wasn’t the combative, animalistic kiss we’d shared earlier, although it was frantic for a different reason. I ran my tongue along her lips, dominating her mouth, needing her to know what she was doing to me—how goddamned unhinged I was in her presence.
How I don’t even know who I am anymore.
Stuffing myself back into my pants, I attempted to catch my breath as Vasi closed her eyes and began licking my cum off her fingers, likethatwasn’t going to get me hard all over again. My gaze caught on the wooden pendant around her neck engraved with a symbol I recognized all too well, although I was choosing to only deal with one tangled mess at a time.
What just happened between us definitely changed things, and I wasn’t sure how I fucking felt about it. “Vasi...I…” I began, although what I intended to say was a mystery, even to me.
Eyes opening, she briefly looked at the space above my head, a sad smile ghosting over her swollen lips before meeting my gaze again. “I don’t belong to you either,” she whispered before hopping off the altar and heading toward the tree line, knowing I had no choice but to follow.
Chapter 33
Asa
Iwas already half-asleep by the time Vasi joined us in her bed above the stove, nestling between Tan and me wearing little more than her underclothes, which felt slightly damp, along with her hair. She smelled like earth and rain and that musky undertone of hers that drove me crazy, along with another familiar scent...
Why the hell does she smell like Nox?!
I’d been so riled up when Nox took off after her that it took Tan roughly fucking me twice over the dinner table before I started to calm down. It seemed he’d finally gotten the memo to make it hurt, but that was probably more in a desperate attempt to bring me back to reality since an actual conversation about it had yet to occur. I wasn’t entirely sure why I hadn’t opened up to Tan yet about how badly I needed pain, but so much had changed since...well, it was just so much easier to focus on the woman lying next to me instead of messing things up between him and me any more than they already were.
And, right now, I need to claim her as mine all over again.
“Asa,” she protested sleepily when I nuzzled against her neck, depositing biting kisses as I slid my hand up her thigh. “It’s been an exhausting night. I just want to sleep and forget everything that happened out there...”
I stilled. “What did Nox do to you?” I growled, loud enough for Tan to drowsily mumble something behind her, throwing an arm over both of us to pull us against him.
