ZEPHYR

I lean against the balcony rail, my four arms crossed over my chest as my demon instincts stir in restlessness. The mountain wind howls outside as if mourning her departure alongside me.

My head shifts out into the night air as I smell the scent of pine and rain. I narrow my eyes to focus on the forest landing in the distance. Miles away, I see her. She has returned to me!

Breathing deep, drawing power from the very air itself. The wind responds, eager to do my bidding. With a flick of my wrist, I send it racing towards her.

"Bring her to me," I command, my voice a low rumble that echoes across the peaks.

The wind howls in response, picking up speed as it travels. I can feel it wrapping around her, gentle yet insistent. For a moment, I tense, waiting for her inevitable resistance. But it doesn't come.

My eyes snap open in surprise. Through my connection with the wind, I can sense her relaxing into its embrace. A smile tugs at my lips as I picture her face, eyes wide with wonder as she's lifted off her feet.

The whirlwind cradles her, forming a protective cocoon as it carries her swiftly across the rugged terrain. I can almost hear her laughter on the breeze, feel her exhilaration as she experiences the true power of the wind for the first time.

As she draws nearer, my heart pounds faster. The wind deposits her gently before me, her cheeks flushed from the journey. Her eyes meet mine, and I see no fear there. Only excitement and a hint of something deeper.

"I left my tribe," she breathes. "I won't deny myself anymore."

My lower hands embrace her waist tight as I lean in closer. My lips are almost touching hers. "You've decided then," I ask, and she nods. My eyes shimmer to a shade of red with gold hues as I stare intently at her. "Tell me..."

She knows the answer I'm looking for as she bites her lips before speaking up, "I choose you, Zephyr."

I reach out, unable to resist touching her. My clawed hand cups her cheek, and she leans into it. A loud rumble emerges from my chest. Without wasting a second, I kiss her lips with eagerness and passion. She places her hands on my chest, a soft gasp escaping her. A loud growl rumbles in my chest, the beast within stirring. Her fingers curl, gripping my tunic as she pulls me closer.

"You're mine, Selena," I murmur against her mouth, the words a possessive snarl.

She nips at my lower lip, a challenge in her eyes. "Prove it, Zephyr."

A smirk tugs at my lips. Game on. Still kissing her, I slide my hands down her body, feeling her shiver under my touch. I find the strap of her bag, tugging it off her shoulder. It hits the ground with a dull thud, forgotten.

I lift her off the ground as her thighs squeeze my waist, her arms looping around my neck. Our bodies press together, heat building between us.

I capture her mouth in another searing kiss, my tongue sliding against hers. She moans softly, her body melting into mine. When I pull back, her eyes are glazed, her breath coming in quick pants.

As I carry her into my chambers, the room is dark, the only light coming from the flickering flames in the fireplace. I lay her down on the furs over the bed, my body covering hers.

She looks up at me, her eyes soft, her lips swollen from my kisses. "Zephyr," she whispers, her voice barely audible.

"Yes, love?" I murmur, brushing a strand of hair away from her face.

She takes a deep breath, her fingers tracing the lines of my face. "Claim me."

A growl rumbles deep in my chest, resonating through the chamber. Selena's eyes widen, but she doesn't pull away. Instead, she inches toward me on her knees as if beckoned by my growl. Her fingers slide underneath my tunic as my breath hitches from feeling her touch against my skin. She lifts my tunic over my head, dropping it to the floor.

I let out a deep moan as her lips kiss down my chest. She gasps as my hands slide under her shirt, tracing the curve of her waist, and the swell of her hips. Her skin is soft, warm, and inviting. I can feel her heart racing, her breath coming in quick, shallow gasps.

"Zephyr," she whispers, her voice barely audible. "Your eyes... they're glowing."

I chuckle, a dark, promising sound. "It's the demon in me, love. It's surfacing, eager to claim what's ours."

I lean in, my lips brushing against her ear. My hands move to the hem of her shirt, slowly lifting it up and over her head. She raises her arms, allowing me to undress her, her eyes never leaving mine.

With a swift motion, I lift her again, her legs wrapping around my waist. I move her up further onto the bed, laying her down gently. She takes a deep breath, her body relaxing beneath my touch. I can feel her trust in me, her submission. It's intoxicating.

I slide my upper hands along Selena's curves, each touch sparking a fire that's been building since our first encounter. Her breath hitches as my palms cup her breasts, thumbs circling her nipples, drawing out a soft gasp from deep within her. "Zephyr..." My name escapes her lips like a secret, whispered into my ear.

"You're mine, Selena," I growl, the beast clawing at my insides, desperate to claim her. My lower hands glide down her stomach, feeling her muscles tense under my touch. The sweet musk scent of her arousal fills my nostrils, driving me wild. "Every inch of you, every gasp, every moan—it's all mine."

I pinch her nipples, rolling them between my fingers until she's squirming beneath me. My lower hands reach her thighs, and I can feel the heat radiating from her core. She's wet, ready for me. Only for me.

I dip my fingers between her folds, a groan rumbling in my chest as I feel her slickness. She bucks against my hand, a soft cry escaping her lips. "Zephyr, please..."

"Please what, love?" I tease, circling her clit with my thumb. Her hips jerk in response, chasing my touch. I can feel her heart racing, her breath coming in short, sharp pants.

I lean down, capturing her nipple in my mouth. I suck hard, my tongue flicking against the sensitive bud. Her fingers tangle in my hair, holding me in place. I chuckle against her skin, the vibrations making her shiver.

I release her nipple with a pop, trailing kisses down her stomach. Her skin is soft, and smooth, and tastes like heaven. I can feel her muscles quivering under my lips, her body tense with anticipation.

"More?" I murmur, my breath hot against her skin. I slide my fingers deeper, curling them inside her. She clenches around me, a low moan echoing through the chamber.

"Yes, more!" she gasps, her eyes meeting mine. They're dark, filled with desire and need. It's a look that drives me wild, that makes the beast within roar with satisfaction.

I withdraw my fingers, bringing them to my lips. Her taste explodes on my tongue, sweet and intoxicating. I groan, my cock throbbing with need. "You taste delicious."

She watches me, her eyes wide, her breath coming in quick, shallow gasps. I lean down, capturing her lips in a fierce kiss. She moans into my mouth, her body arching against mine.

I break the kiss, trailing my lips down her body. I can feel her heart pounding, her breath hitching as I move lower.

"Zephyr," she whispers, her voice filled with anticipation. I can feel her tension, her need. It matches my own, a desperate, clawing desire that demands satisfaction.

I settle between her thighs, my breath hot against her core. I can see her folds, glistening with her arousal. I lean in, my tongue flicking against her clit. She gasps, her hips jerking in response.

"Oh, Zephyr," she moans, her fingers tangling in my hair. I chuckle, the vibrations making her shiver. I slide my fingers inside her, curling them against her walls. She clenches around me, her body trembling with need.

And with that, I dive in, my tongue and fingers working in tandem to drive her wild. Her moans fill the chamber, her body writhing beneath me. I can feel her tension building, her need growing. And I know, without a doubt, that she's mine. Forever.

My mouth claims her pussy, and she gasps, her fingers finding my horns, gripping them tight. A growl rumbles in my chest, the beast within me roaring with pleasure. She's not just accepting me; she's claiming me right back.

"Zephyr," she pants, her hips grinding against my face.

Her grip on my horns tightens, her body tensing as I suck on her clit. She moans, her legs beginning to buckle. I hold her up, my hands gripping her ass, keeping her pressed against my mouth.

"Don't stop," she breathes, her body trembling. I can feel her orgasm building, her muscles clenching around my tongue. I growl again, the vibrations making her gasp.

"Come for me, Selena," I command, my voice muffled against her. Her body responds instantly, her hips bucking wildly as she screams her release. I drink her in, my mouth covering her pussy as I taste her orgasm.

Her body goes limp, her hands sliding from my horns to tangle in my hair. I gently lower her to the ground, her breath coming in quick, shallow gasps. I wipe my mouth clean with my tongue, a satisfied smirk playing on my lips.

"You're exquisite," I murmur, leaning over her. Her eyes flutter open, meeting mine. They're dark, filled with desire, and something else—something deeper.

"That was..." she starts, but words fail her. I chuckle, pressing a soft kiss to her lips.

"Just the beginning," I promise, my voice a low rumble. I can feel my cock throbbing, desperate for release. But I want to take my time, to savor her. To claim her completely.

She reaches up, her fingers tracing the line of my jaw. "I want you, Zephyr," she whispers, her voice filled with need. "All of you."

I stand, her gaze following me like a physical touch. When I slide my pants off, her eyes widen, lips parting as she takes in the sight of my swollen cock. She bites her lip, desire darkening her eyes. Fuck, she's gorgeous.

"See something you like?" I growl, a smirk playing on my lips.

Her breath hitches. "You're... impressive."

I climb onto the bed, moving over her.

"Last chance, Selena," I murmur, my voice a low rumble. I lean down, my lips brushing against her ear. "Once I'm in, you're mine. No turning back."

She shivers beneath me, her breath coming in quick gasps. "I'm sure," she whispers, her voice filled with need.

I position myself at her entrance, feeling her heat. She gives me a nod as I push in, slow and steady, letting her feel every inch of me. Her pussy is tight, gripping me like a vice. Pleasure shoots through me, and I groan, low and deep.

"Zephyr," she gasps, her fingers digging into my arms.

"Fuck, you feel good," I growl, my hips starting to move. I pull out, then thrust back in, her moans echoing in my ears. Each thrust is deliberate, meant to drive her wild. And it does. Her body arches against mine, her breath coming in quick, sharp gasps.

"More," she pants, her legs wrapping around my waist. "Faster."

I give her what she wants. My pace quickens, my thrusts becoming harder, deeper. Her moans fill the room, a symphony of pleasure that spurs me on.

"You like that?" I growl, my voice barely human. The beast within me is close to the surface, her pleasure feeding it.

"Yes," she gasps between moans.

I can feel her orgasm building, her pussy clenching around me. I lean down, my lips capturing hers in a fierce kiss.

"Come for me, Selena," I command, my voice a low growl. "Let me feel you."

Her body responds instantly, her hips bucking wildly as she screams her release. Her pussy clenches around me, milking me, and I groan as I spill into her, my cock pulsing with each wave of pleasure. I can feel her trembling beneath me, her body still riding the waves of her orgasm.

I collapse onto my back, my breath coming in quick, sharp gasps as I pull her on top of me. Her heart races against mine, our bodies slick with sweat.

She looks up at me, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions. But one shines brighter than the rest. Acceptance. She's mine. And I'm never letting her go.
