TWENTY-TWO

Willow

I dash forward to kneel before Ember, snatching her face in my hands and kissing her deeply. She just agreed to be my mate. I don’t care that it was at the will of my father, all I care about is being with Ember. I need her. I need to be inside of her. I need to worship her body until we’re both shaking with ecstasy.

She stares at me with lips swollen, glazed eyes, and flushed cheeks from our first kiss. She’s sitting in her mauve silk robe and the slit that leads up her thigh ensnares me. I’m an animal when it comes to her, barely able to contain the cock in my pants.

I’m swollen with arousal and craving to drive deep into her. “Please,” I beg. “Let me love you tonight, little dragon.”

She bites her bottom lip like she’s thinking it over.

“Please, I will show you just how grateful I am for this gift you’ve given me.” I brush strands of hair behind her ears and caress her cheek with my thumb. “We can take this slow but tonight I need to worship you. The bond is nearly irresistible.”

She doesn’t respond for what feels like an eternity, and then she stands and walks away from me. Leaving me rock solid and staring after her with my heart cracking in my chest. I look like a soldier from battle, the last alive. It’s not easy to continually be denied by my mate. The one person that’s supposed to accept me for who I am inside and out.

She giggles like she can hear my thoughts.

Oh yeah, she can.

Well, are you coming? She whispers to me with seduction lacing her voice.

I’ve never run so fast in my life. I laugh, sprinting up behind her and wrapping my arms around her waist, throwing her over my shoulder, and carrying her to our bed. She squeals and kicks her legs in the air, laughing and cursing me for being such a brute.

“Put me down, Will!” she yells at me.

“As you wish, princess.” I smirk as I approach the bed and drop her off my shoulder. She lands directly in the center of the covers and pillows. Ember moves several pillows out of the way, throwing a few on the ground. Raising herself on her elbows, She stares down at the end of the large bed where I stand.

Slowly smiling at me, she takes in my body before her. Her smile falters for a split second and then she looks up into my eyes and asks, “What about your injuries?”

I chuckle at her concern. “Your concern flatters

me,” I say and begin unwrapping my bandages, revealing freshly healed skin and smooth abs. My wings flutter and the bandages that wrapped the puncture holes shake away, showing a finely woven membrane that has stitched itself back together. Thanks to Ember’s blood sharing.

She inhales and crawls to the foot of the bed, kneeling before me. She touches my abs with light fingers as she examines the scars and freshly grown skin.

“This is amazing.” She says with wonder in her voice. Ember then changes her focus to my wings, where she ever so delicately runs her delicate fingers along the new membrane that has grown in place of the puncture wounds. “Truly a miracle.”

Her touch sends blood straight to my dick. I feel a shiver start in my neck and flood my limbs.

Our wings are so sensitive. I’ve never had someone else touch them unless they were cleaned or repaired from a flying incident. I knew that wings were sensitive, but I didn’t know they were also sensitive in a sexual way. I can’t wait to explore wing play with my little dragon. I wonder if it feels as exhilarating for her as it does for me?

Tonight is all about her. I want to celebrate her for coming to a decision and giving me this gift. A mate. The bond in my chest hums with pride and joy at the thought of completing it at the upcoming eclipse. I always knew she’d come around but it’s so surreal hearing the words spoken from her; ‘I agreed to the bond.’

I reach for her hips and grip their curves in my hands, rubbing and caressing her through the robe she still wears. Leaning in for a kiss, I slowly raise my hand to cup her breast and gather its fullness in my palm. Kneading and kissing her, I’m overcome with gratitude that my mate is finally here and present in the bond. She’s relinquished her fight and realized we were destined for eachother. We’ve been destined to be together since before the fae ever existed.

Matebonds eternal.

She parts her lips for me, welcoming me to deepen the kiss.

So I do.

We lick and bite each other, tasting and savoring the moment.

I reach out and slowly begin unraveling her robe. It drops behind her on the bed and she’s left kneeling, vulnerable and lovely.

I lose my breath.

I’m completely starstruck by her. The way her soft pink waves cascade over her breasts, her rosey peaks that perk up at the sight of me, and the way her hips curve around her captivating center. She’s truly a work of art and I can’t wait to explore every part of this masterpiece.

Before me kneels the most beautiful fae I’ve ever seen. Her skin flushes with a deeper shade of blush as she looks up at me through heavy lashes.

She impatiently reaches for my trousers and begins unbuckling them, and they quickly drop to the floor. I let out another tight breath and allow her to take in the size of me. Her eyes go wide and she slowly smiles at me.

“I don’t know if that will fit,” she says breathlessly.

I laugh and begin crawling over her. She lays back in the center of the bed, her luscious pink hair flowing around her curvy figure. Leaning over top of her, I stare into her eyes and take in the beauty of her.

“Hello, mate.” I smile down at her.

“Hi.” she whispers and starts to squirm underneath me.

“Relax and breathe, little dragon. We will not do anything you’re uncomfortable with. Tell me what you want and it’s yours.” I reach a hand to trail feather-light touches along her arm, teasing her flesh with what awaits.

She lets out another shaky breath and demands, “Touch me. I need you to touch me.”

That’s all I need to hear before I capture her mouth in a slow kiss, savoring every second of it. Her soft lips part for me, allowing us to deepen the kiss and chase each other into bliss. She licks, bites, and clutches onto my hair, keeping me from separating our bodies. I smile against her lips and continue trailing kisses along her cheek, exploring the curve of her neck, and grasping a breast in my palm. Massaging her and kissing her, I make my way down to her stomach. I press a soft kiss on her belly button and then look up at her through lowered lashes.

“I want to taste you,” I say with sultry dripping from my voice.

She lets out a whine and stares down at me hovering over her sex. “Please.”

“Tonight, I want to worship your body until you’re shaking with pleasure, mate. I want you to barely be able to walk tomorrow from the ecstasy I put you through tonight.” I say and then I sit back on my heels and take in her majestic beauty one last time before placing my hands on her knees and spreading her wide.

“Fuck.” I hiss breathlessly as I stare down at my seductress.

She bites her lip and reminds me how badly she wants me, her eyes focused on my abdomen and rock-hard cock. I lift her right leg and place her ankle on my shoulder. I kiss my way from her ankle to her inner thigh, slowly making my way to her sex.

I began by licking a line straight from her entrance to her swollen clit. She moans for me and her legs shake from the shock of sensations. I feel a swell of electricity flows through my body from bringing her pleasure. For several minutes, I lick, suck, and devour her. After she climaxed once, I drove my finger into her and began stroking her slick, wetness. Sucking her clit into my mouth, I suck hard and slide another finger into her. She screams in release and squeezes my head with her thighs. It causes my dick to spurt precum.

Fuck, she’s so sexy.

I can’t believe this is my mate.

She tastes utterly amazing and I could feast on her for the rest of my days.

“My turn.” she says winded. She’s clearly exhausted and sweating with pleasure from the several orgasms I gave her.

“Tonight was about you, my flame. We have plenty of time for that another day.” I brush the hair from her sweetened forehead and press a kiss to her skin.

“But–”

I chuckle and peel myself off her limp body. I stare down at my mate with pride from her disheveled hair, glistening skin and heavy breathing. She’s fucking beautiful.

Standing from the bed, I cross the room to the bathroom and begin heating the bathtub for her to wash before bed. Several moments later, the bath is full and I use my magic to light blue flames on the candles around the room.

Walking back out to the bedroom, she still lies where  I left her and has slowly drifted off into slumber. I decide to cradle her in my arms and carry her to the bathroom.

Stepping into the large black stone bathing pool, she rests her head on my shoulder and snuggles closer into my chest.

She sighs with relief as the warm water engulfs us both. I rest her against the stone seat of the bathing pool and begin gathering soaps and oils from the edge. After washing her delicate body, I quickly wash myself. She’s still half asleep and murmurs things as I pick her up again and wrap her in a towel in my arms

Tucked into my chest, we walk back to the bedroom and I lay down with her wrapped in my arms. She presses her ass further into my cock.

Shit, she’s making it hard to resist fucking her until the sun rises.

I finally chase her into a deep slumber, content with her in my arms and I never plan on letting her go.
