Chapter 38

Arim

I t was more than the physical, though I couldn't identify what exactly I wanted. Giving myself over to instinct, I flipped Lexa onto her belly and nudged her thighs wide. Like a plaything for my own enjoyment. Mine.

The thought made me even harder, and I couldn't help myself as I kneeled between her thighs.

Her scent was so sweet, her ass so firm and pale.

"Arim?"

"Stay down," I commanded, my voice gruff and filled with power.

She shivered, but not with fear. I could see her excitement as her sex glistened, dew sliding over her folds. I spread her thighs uncomfortably wide and leaned close, kneading her ass with large, hungry hands. Tilting her pelvis up, I saw what I'd been looking for.

I stared at the pink flesh beckoning me closer and licked her with a long, smooth stroke. More than satisfied with her moan of delight, I knew it wasn't nearly enough. Closing on the hard little bud, I ate her out in earnest. I licked and sucked, drunk on her taste. Barely aware of her first climax, I pressed on, needing to swallow her cream and the Dark that passed through her sex like honey.

"Blue," I rumbled, unable to form coherent thought apart from her body. Her clit was like a tiny cherry, hard yet bursting with flavor. She tasted like ambrosia, a heady mixture of Light and Dark, of Lexa… She was mine, and I needed to hear her say it. "You're mine. Say it."

She groaned and clutched at the bed, her skin so cool as opposed to her heated sex. The contrasts excited me unbearably. I quickly rose and positioned myself between her thighs. I lifted her waist, angling her for better ease into her tight, hot body. Poised at her entrance, I felt sweat beading on my forehead, my craving to possess her riding me hard.

"Say it, Blue. You're mine." I pressed slowly inside her, inch by inch, seizing what belonged to me and me alone.

"Please, Arim. I need all of you." She squirmed, trying to shove herself over me, but I held her fast.

" Say it ." I gritted my teeth, fighting the urge to take what she needed to give.

"I'm yours," she cried, and I plunged deep, no other thought but satisfaction blazing in my mind.

I fucked her without mercy, thrusting in and out, so hard I thought I'd explode several times over. Yet the desire compounded like madness, and I was helpless to stop myself from pushing as deep into her as I could go.

"Arim! Night and Stars. Yes, yes. " She screamed as another orgasm shook her.

The feel of her tight walls sucking me in opened the floodgates on my Darkness coiling to be let loose. I jetted into her, the beginning of a mind-blowing orgasm there before I could contain it.

But this was no ordinary sex, and after I emptied between her thighs, I roared and pulled out of her, only to position myself at her ass, still hard, still needy.

I brought her hips firmly against me and pushed through her tight anus, knowing I gave her as much pain as pleasure. I was covered in our release, but the roughness of my intrusion could by no means be smooth.

My little Dark Lord, however, shook from the force of her pleasure.

"It burns. Oh more, please ," she begged in a hoarse voice.

That quickly, my body built toward another inferno. A few thrusts more and I was too close to turn back. I shackled our energy as I rode her, taking what I wanted and giving her everything I had. Love poured from me in waves as I crested another unbelievably high peak into climax.

Raw ecstasy blinded me, and I was frozen in the moment as I released inside her. I filled her ass. Yet still, the orgasm wasn't enough. I pulled out and found myself still hard, still hungry.

Lexa turned over, her body a wash of our scents combined. It made me dizzy with lust, and the Darkness of the mountain increased the hunger.

"What have you done to me?" The sparkle in her eyes enchanted me. The blue color had never been warmer. The love shining from their depths threw my heart into a rhythm of unbearable feeling.

"Light, what you do to me." I groaned and closed my hand around my throbbing cock. "I don't know what's wrong. I feel so Dark, and you're the only thing I can see, can want." I made no sense but spoke from the heart, the words pouring out of me. "I love you so much. I can't contain it." And I couldn't.

The emotion surged out of me into her, my Light and Dark a tangle of contrasts and complements waiting to find its equal.

Lexa's eyes welled with tears that she angrily wiped away. I knew I'd never seen anything more beautiful in my life. "I love you too. And if you ever do anything so stupid as to take on a sorcerer and demon without me, or sacrifice your damned soul, I'll… I'll…"

A tear fell down her cheek and the Dark glory of her love pushed me over the edge.

I kissed her hard, bruising her lips in my need to dominate. Her raspy breathing told me she liked it, and more, that she welcomed it. I fisted my hands in her hair and pulled her away from me.

"Come to me."

I watched her crawl closer, and my cock ached to feel her mouth around me. I waved a hand to cleanse us of the messes covering us and waited for her to look up into my face.

"Arim?"

"My love," I corrected and cupped her chin to bring her mouth to the tip of my cock.

"My love," she whispered in a throaty voice.

I stared at her beautiful lips, wanting nothing more than to slide past them. "Please, Blue. Take me down your throat."

I couldn't contain the thrill, knowing I possessed the dangerous creature who could kill as easily as she could heal. The woman behind the ice-blue eyes was warm and passionate, but she met my Dark needs more than I could have dreamed. My love for her spilled into the room, making the Darkness within glow.

"I love you so much," I rasped as I watched her wet her lips with her tongue. "I need to fill all of you. I want to fuck that mouth, Blue, until you're brimming with my seed."

She swallowed me down, her lips warm around me as I nested in the heat of her mouth. I clenched my hands in her long, black hair and held on as she took me to the gates of the Next with the light rake of her teeth and the swirling of her tongue.

She ran her hands up and down my thighs, cupping my balls that hardened into hard, needy stones.

"Mmm," she moaned around me, sucking and stirring a thirst I was more than ready to fulfill.

Her hands crept around my hips, and she pushed me deeper down her throat. Then she spread my cheeks and shoved a finger hard into my ass. The pressure made me roar my pleasure, and I increased the tempo of my quick thrusts, nearly there.

She fucked my ass with her finger, and the combined stimulation was too much to bear.

I shouted her name as I shot down her throat. My body trembled in the aftermath of so much stimulation. When I finally pulled out, I found myself unsteady and pulled her to her knees, only to topple back into the bed with her.

As a deep peace settled over us, I drew Lexa deeper into the curve of my body, watching her sleepy eyes as she stared back at me — eyes for once not guarded or cautious about revealing her feelings.

"You can't take it back, you know."

She frowned. "I won't."

"I love you. You love me. And we're going to be a family sooner than you think."

She palmed her belly, her eyes glued to mine when I placed my larger hand over hers, and asked, "Is this what you wanted?"

"Yes. The question is, is this what you wanted? A man who loves you without reservation, a family to love and cherish." I prayed she would take my words to heart. "No matter what."

She chewed her lower lip, and I wanted to kiss and caress her until I came inside her again. "I'm still a Dark Lord."

Her expression changed to one I couldn't read at all.

"Lexa?"

"Does it matter what I am? Or what you are?"

"No. I can honestly say it doesn't. Lexa, if you aren't happy here, we'll leave." We both paused when Tanselm literally groaned in protest. "Not that I want to go, but your happiness comes before anything now. My nephews can manage Tanselm. Our enemy is dead."

"The enemy that you know of. The way you Light Bringers act, I'm sure you'll have more," she muttered.

I grinned. "Probably. But we'll soon have another overking to take care of all that. All the affai are pregnant." I knew because Tanselm had spread her joy over each new pregnancy. "The future is unfolding as we speak." I rubbed my hand over hers again, wanting to feel the life inside her under my palm. "I'll do anything for you, Blue. Just name it."

She stared at me, her gaze full of wonder. "You really mean that, don't you?"

"I do."

Lexa cupped my cheek and smiled. "Don't think I won't hold you to that. Hmm. You won't have to call me Dark Mistress…all the time." She laughed when I tickled her and then snuggled into my embrace. "Just promise you won't leave me again."

I kissed the top of her head, my throat understandably tight, my voice gruff when I answered, "I'll never leave you again, Blue. I promise."
