Page 10 of Rise of the Witch
“I know, Acey,” he chuckled in my ear, raw desire causing the Turkish side of his seductive accent to become more pronounced. “But Ineedyouto finish your confession from last night. I want to hear how badly you want that sexy little witch back there. Tell me what you want to do to her while I suck you off.”
Anything you say…
Nodding, I relinquished control, collapsing back against the boulder while he undid my belt and pants, taking them along with him as he knelt on the ground. The morning air chilled my exposed skin, but Tan’s hot breath on my aching cock felt like heaven. I groaned as he ran his tongue along my shaft before pausing to gaze up at me expectantly.
“I want her, Tan,” I began, hissing as he lowered his mouth over me in reward. “I want her skin on mine. She looks so...soft.I want to hear the noises she makes when I slide into her…” Tan bottomed out, tongue lapping at the base of my dick, making me lose concentration and choke on my words as I dug my fingernails into the rough surface of the rock behind me.
The truth was, I probably wouldn't know what to do with a woman if given a chance. Besides a few awkward encounters with girls when I was younger, the only person I’d ever been with was Taneer. Of course, he’d fucked plenty of people—men and women—before we became a couple, so when it came to the two of us, there wasn’t much we hadn’t tried. As indirectly experienced as that made me, the thought of having Vasi in my bed made me feel like a fumbling teenager again.
I still want her so badly it physically hurts.
Tan grinned up at me, swirling his tongue teasingly around the head of my cock, making me twitch. “I bet she’d get on top for you,” he purred lazily. “Scratch up your skin with those long nails of hers while she rides you hard.”
“Yes…” I gasped, feeling my eyes grow hooded as the headspace I was seeking started to click into place. “I want to watch her above me, perfect breasts in my face while she holds me down and does whatever she wants to me.” Tan hummed in approval as he engulfed my full length in his hot mouth again.
Needing to touch this beautiful man, I ran my fingers through his thick, chestnut brown hair before sliding them down along his stubble, feeling his jaw straining around me. One of Tan’s large hands roughly gripped the base of my cock, and I made a low noise in my throat as the other reached further underneath me to run a finger along the seam of my balls.
The forest around us seemed to blur and pulse as my breaths became shallow and my balls tightened. Suddenly it was Vasi on her knees in front of me, clear as day, succulent lips wrapped around my cock, gorgeous aquamarine eyes gazing up at me. Feeling the sting of her sharp nails raking my thighs, I abruptly emptied down her throat with a curse, watching her swallow my cum and lick her lips with a wicked smile. Shuddering through the aftershocks, it wasn’t until I felt Tan’s lips on mine that I snapped back to reality from whatever vision I’d just fallen into.
“Well,someonewas a bit pent up, eh?” he teased, moving his mouth to my temple to lap up a bead of sweat that had begun to drip. “I think I like not-gay-Asa thirsting after some witchy pussy.”
Giving him a tight smile, I extracted myself from his arms and buttoned my pants, once again overwhelmed by the unfamiliar emotions coursing through me. After spending so much of my early life buried under crippling anxiety, I had worked hard to establish a veneer of calm self-control that was impenetrable. Taneer was one of the few people who’d ever managed to infiltrate my defenses completely, but these past few months, I could feel myself slowly closing off, even to him.
It’s better this way.
“I love you, Ace,” Tan murmured, drawing me to him again and nuzzling along my jawline before stepping back to better look at me. I simply stared at him, struggling to explain what I was experiencing and unable to give him the reply he was hoping for. Although I saw only patience in his eyes, Tan sighed as he turned away to squint at the surrounding forest. “We should probably start heading back soon, so we can get to her before Nox does, in case he hasn’t cooled down yet.”
Suddenly remembering the angry swan also waiting for us, I groaned, “Oh, hell. I think I blew our cover by identifying the shifter before Nox could shoot her.”
Tan good-naturedly rolled his eyes as he slung a muscular arm over my shoulders, pulling me close. “You did the right thing, and I think Nox was just embarrassed you sniffed her out before he did. Besides, Vasi seems determined to figure out why we’re out here, and she doesn’t strike me as the type of woman who backs down until she gets what she wants.”
Compressing my mouth into a hard line, I allowed him to guide me back in the direction of the hut. While our latest assignment had been vague, the nature of our routine missions was unsavory enough to condemn us. I agreed with Tan that Vasi would get answers out of us before she let us go. The real question was, would she allow us to leave once she finds out the truth?
And, will I even want to if given a choice?
Chapter 9
Vasilisa
All three men wisely gave me ample time and space to recover after our earlier confrontation. Taneer and Asa wandered back to my clearing a few hours later but respectfully remained outside until I invited them into my hut. In contrast, Nox didn’t reappear until it was almost dark, and he simply walked into the cabin without knocking. Regardless, it was unsettling how they couldn’t seem to find their way out of the forest yet had no trouble locating my famously unreachable hut.
It looks like we’re stuck with each other, at least for now.
I served dinner in silence while Anthia glared at each man in turn from the far end of the table. She had refused to leave me alone with them, and her presence was clearly making everyone else uncomfortable, which I appreciated immensely. Breaking an end off the crusty loaf I’d baked while they were gone, I used an unnecessarily sharp knife to slather on fresh raspberry jam, admiring the blood-red color against the lightness of the bread before I finally spoke.
“So,” I began, letting my word echo in the cabin a moment before continuing. “How did you know Anthia was a shifter?” I purposely let my gaze fall on Asa, as he seemed the most likely to bend to my intimidation.
As expected, he furiously blushed under my attention—a fact which I found annoyingly appealing—but he bravely met my gaze and answered, “It’s part of our training to identify shifters in the wild.”
“Ace!” Nox hissed, kicking his chair out as he abruptly stood from the table. “Don’t fucking tell this bitch anything!”
Not that tired B word again...
I prepared to send the idiot flying across the room with a flick of my finger when Tan surprised me by also rising to his feet to confront the other man. “Calm the fuck down, Nox! You know as well as I do that anything our superiors actually told us isn’t considered important enough to be classified. Not to mention, I’ll bet money thatVasi—because that’s hername,remember?—is already well aware there’s a government Facility nearby.”
Anthia chuckled behind me. “That’s right. You humans think you’re so clever, leveling acres of old-growth to build an enormous, concrete eyesore that you somehow think is invisible simply because you slap a couple of ‘No Trespassing’ signs on the chain-link fence perimeter.” Leaning forward, she allowed her other form to ripple threateningly across her features, like waves on the surface of a lake. “But yes, we know you’re there.Allof us do.”
Stifling a smirk, I slid down the bench until I was invading Asa’s personal space, lightly resting my hand on his muscular forearm. “You’re making a wise choice, being honest with me, Asa,” I smiled, baring my teeth and gathering my magic in case he needed further persuasion. “I suggest you tell me everything…”
