Of course, this position presses her hot center to my throbbing shaft.
Which just makes me want to devour her all over again.
But I don’t want to push her. So instead, I simply kiss her. It’s a tender embrace, one I allow her to lead with her tongue.
She’s hesitant at first, then grows bolder as she presses her tits to my chest. I slide forward to allow her legs to wind around my back, our sexual position exciting my inner beast. He’s practically feral for her.
However, I still have my piercings in. Thus, I can’t fuck her yet.
Although, that could be quickly remedied.
Her pussy grinds against me, her breathing coming in a sweet pant as she presses herself even closer to my chest. “Flame,” she exhales.
“Alina,” I return, my teeth grazing her lower lip. “Tell me what you need, sweetheart.”
She quivers, her long, dark lashes parting to reveal her big, beautiful eyes. “I just want to be near you.”
“Then be near me,” I tell her. “I’ll be whatever you need me to be, little panther.”
Her arms tighten as she hugs me and buries her face in my neck. I wrap myself around her in kind, my nose going to her freshly washed hair. We showered before getting in the tub, mostly so we could just soak and relax in the whirling water.
I’m happy for that decision now, as it’s clear she needed it.
“This is all so different from how I thought Monsters Night would go,” she says near my ear, her voice low. “But the Duke said something about how my fate with themonsters would be a lot kinder than my fate in the village. He said my future mate, ormates, would worship me.”
I’m not sure who this Duke is that she’s referring to, but… “He wasn’t wrong,” I say aloud.
“He, uh, didn’t mention thebreedingpart, though,” she adds as she pulls back to study ny face. “What… what does that mean, exactly?” Her brow furrows. “I mean, I know what the term means. But… for us. You want… children?”
I run my thumb across her bottom lip. “Yeah, I do.” I slowly return my gaze to hers. “Do you?”
She swallows. “I didn’t before, back in the village. The men there repulsed me. The idea of creating a family with them…” She blanches, her expression telling me everything I need to know about that concept.
“But now?” I prompt. “How do you feel about the idea of receiving my barb? Knowing what it might create?”
Her pupils dilate a little. “I don’t know,” she admits softly. “I…” She frowns. “It’s strange. I know it should intimidate me, especially with how fast everything has changed. But I don’t fear it?” She phrases it as a question, like it confuses her that she’s not afraid.
“That’s not the same as wanting a child,” I point out.
She considers me for a moment. “I think it’s too new for me to determine my true feelings. I just know that it no longer repels me like it did in the village. Instead… the notion feels pleasant. Like it’s something I want to embrace.”
I nod. “It’s a big change for you to accept,” I acknowledge out loud. “For me, Orcus, and Reaper, we’ve all been searching for our mate for so long that this doesn’t feel sudden or unexpected at all. There’s simply no alternative for us. No competing desires. There’s just you.”
“Just me,” she repeats with a breath.
“Just you,” I echo. “I know it’s overwhelming, but whatyou experienced with me and Reaper today? That’s only a taste of what we can offer you.”
Goose bumps pebble down her arms despite the warm water, her lower half pressing intimately into mine. “Only a taste?” Her throat works as though she’s thinking about saidtaste. “I… I don’t know if I can handle more…”
I chuckle. “We’ll see, won’t we?”
Because I can smell her approaching heat.
While I might not be a Mythos Fae, I am a Shifter Fae. And my jaguar is all Alpha. He’s content at the moment, simply observing through my eyes and patiently waiting for his chance to truly pounce.
It’ll be intense.
Powerful.
