Page 50 of Right Hand Of The Reaper
“Yes. Hermes says Thane wrote this days ago. He could be hurt or in danger. I’m not leaving him to face any of this on his own.”
Her eyes held mine with a fierceness that I found hot. She looked like she was going to take on the world even if the odds weren’t in her favour.
“Then I’m coming with you.”
“No,” she said with a shake of her head, her long red hair shimmering around her shoulders. “I can’t ask you to do that.”
“You’re not asking and I’m coming. You’re my mate, Roux and you’re stuck with me.”
She placed a quick kiss against my lips. “Okay. You can come, but you have to play nice with my Hounds.”
“Only if they play nice with me,” I grumbled. Truth was, I found their relationship with Roux a little intimidating. There was so much history between them, so much that had happened and I knew they loved each other. I just felt like a bit of an outsider. But for her, I’d do my best.
“I’ll make sure they do.” Her brow furrowed and her mouth turned down a little in the corners. “I know everything has changed between us, but Rafe and Rayne are part of my life and always will be. Yes, I wish they could be more but—”
I placed my hand on her mouth. “I know there’s a law preventing relations between Reapers and their Hounds but if anything were ever to happen between the three of you, I’d never say anything. I swear it. I can see how much you mean to each other and I’m sorry that it’s forbidden.”
She pulled my hand away and I hated there was a sadness in her eyes. “You have no idea how much I hate that law, but I love them too much to risk losing them forever.”
“Will the king not change the law?”
“No. I’ve asked. And I understand why he won’t. I just hate it.”
I pulled her back into my arms and rubbed my hands up her back. “Well, maybe we can petition him together.”
“You’d do that for me?”
“You’re my mate. I’d do anything for you.” And it was true. I had a sudden insane need to just see her happy and if that meant helping her so she could be with Rafe and Rayne then that’s what I would do. Even if I kind of wanted to see how far I could push them before they snapped. But that was just part of my nature. To find pressure points and push on them until someone broke. Part of me thought they might actually enjoy that. Being hunted and chased until they were caught.
“What was that thought?” Roux asked as her finger traced my bottom lip.
“Hmm?”
“Your eyes darkened, and your breath hitched. What made that happen?”
“I was thinking about your Hounds and how much fun it would be to break them.”
Her mouth formed a delicious little ‘O’ before her lips pulled wide into a grin. “Let me know if they ever agree. I’d like to watch.”
“I bet you would,” I replied as I gripped her chin between my fingers. Her eyes widened and her body relaxed further into my hold. I loved how responsive she was to me. All the little movements she made that showed me just how turned on she was. How desperate she was for me. I couldn’t wait to learn them all. “Open your mouth for me.”
She opened it wide, and I licked from the tip of her chin all the way to her top lip before delving deep into the wet heat of her mouth. I swiped my tongue along the roof her mouth, loving how her hips rolled against mine. How she gasped deep in her throat and moaned deliciously. I hooked my thumb into her mouth and held it open.
“Take out my cock,” I ordered, and her hands flew to my pants, undoing them in a blink of an eye. “On your knees, kitten.”
Again, she did as I demanded, her chin never leaving the grip of my hand, nor her mouth closing around my thumb.
“Such a good girl for me.” I gripped the base of my shaft and placed the tip of my dick against her tongue. She shivered at the contact, and it took all my restraint not to thrust right to the back of her mouth with one thrust. “You ever sucked a cock like mine before?” She shook her head. “Just watch your teeth against the bars, and you’ll do just fine, kitten. Now suck.”
She closed her mouth around me her tongue slid down my length and along the barbells until the head of my cock was nestled at the back of her throat.
“Sweet fuck, your mouth is something else.”
Her moan vibrated along my cock, and I jerked in her mouth. She bobbed along my length, swallowing me over and over again, taking me so deep that her nose brushed my pubic bone. Goosebumps broke over my skin as she sucked me, twisting her tongue over the crossed barbells at the head of my cock and making my knees weak.
I fisted my hand in her hair, holding her still. “I’m going to fuck your face now.”
Her jaw went slack and sweet fucking gods, she let me use her mouth exactly how I wanted. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as I thrust deep into her throat, her muscles constricting violently as I forced my way further down her throat. Her hands gripped my thighs, but she didn’t stop me. She knelt there, her eyes glazed over with a lust-filled haze, and I almost fucking lost it.
