MAXTON

T he bond hummed in my chest as I laid next to Oria. It filled a void in me that I always knew was our bond had resided. It eased a part of me that had always been lonely. Now I wondered if that ache was because of having my mate so close to me, but having the bond subdued.

I was relieved we got it back and after she told me it was hidden under Laima's magic; I knew she had to die. As much as I didn't want to kill my brother, he deserved to suffer too. He started all of this, and we were all here for some dream of a god war and a power-hungry man.

It had been a day since we arrived and after another healing, I felt like my normal self again. Ryder was meeting Addie and grabbing a few things we needed to make our trip to the Fae lands tomorrow. We would leave in the morning to see if we could find any Fae. Soren and Gray ordered us to sleep, to make sure we were ready for tomorrow.

The never-ending need to look over our shoulders was weighing heavily on us.

The pull of the bond yanked me from my thoughts yet again. It was loud and having her pressed up against me didn't do anything for my abstinence. She called to me on a primal level, and it took everything I had in me not to roll her onto her back and wake her up with my mouth in between her legs.

"You ok?" Oria's sleepy voice pulled me from my fantasy.

"Perfect," I said, holding her close.

"It doesn't feel like you are ok," she said, running her hand up and down my chest and the valleys of my abs.

"I'm angry we lost all of that time," I said, expressing my earlier anger instead of my sexual thoughts.

"At least we found each other, right?" She looked up at me.

It amazed me how she was always looking on the bright side. She had been the one who thought the glass was half-full instead of empty.

"It's not enough. I don't think any amount of time will be enough, Sol," I said, kissing her forehead. "They need to pay for what they stole from us. All the memories, the laughter, the kisses and our time in the sun."

"I get that, I do, but would I have found my other mates if this had never happened?" Her hazel eyes stared into my blue one.

As much as I hated how we had gotten here, she was right.

"I don't think you would have met them, but the gods and goddesses work in mysterious ways," I said, pushing a strand of blonde hair out of her eyes. "I'd like to think they would have made their way to us, but you're right, we are where we are supposed to be."

She tilted her head up and I couldn't resist her if I tried. I captured her lips in what was supposed to be a small kiss, except the bond flared to life the moment our lips touched. She moaned and it was so sexy I was instantly hard. I opened her mouth with my tongue, exploring her. She straddled my hips; I sat up as we continued kissing. She rolled her hips over my hardness and pleasure ripped through me.

I growled, deepening the kiss, the frantic need to have her was clawing at me and at that moment waiting to mate her sounded stupid.

"Maxton," she groaned, as I kissed down her neck, sucking her skin at the base of her neck.

She whimpered, rolling her hips against my hardness again and I snapped. I rolled us over, pinning her hands over head and thrust against her.

"Max, stop," she whimpered.

I quickly got off of her, worried I had pushed her too far.

Oria's eyes were wide, her hair was mussed up and those lips were swollen from our kiss. My chest ached with how beautiful she was.

"I'm so sorry, Sol," I said, feeling awful.

"I didn't stop for me, Max, I stopped for you," she said, looking away as she took a deep breath. "I know you said you wanted to wait. I just wanted to stop before we went any further."

Oria wouldn't look at me, making me think I had done something wrong. I tilted her face to me. Her face was flushed, and she squirmed on the bed, hitting me with her delicious scent. I shivered, the bond pushing me to go to her.

The whine that came out of her was the last straw. I pushed her onto her back. "I need you, Sol, like I need oxygen and sustenance. I have waited long enough and as much as I want to show you that I love you for you, my body and soul need you."

I kissed her roughly, pressing her into the bed with my hips. I laid my forearms on either side of her head, kissing her with everything I had to show her she was mine. She ran her hand through my hair tugging on the strands lightly.

"Tell me it's ok, tell me you want this, Sol." I kissed her jaw, trailing kisses down her neck, preparing to remove myself in case she didn't want this anymore.

"I don't want to be apart anymore, I can't wait another second," she sighed, when I gently bit her. "How… how do we do it?"

I pulled away, raising my eyebrow as her cheeks got pink.

"If you're asking that now, then your mates have done a terrible job at making you theirs," I chuckled.

"I heard that!" one of the twins yelled from downstairs.

Oria laughed. "I mean, are you going to bite me or how do I become your mate?"

"It's usually during a mating ceremony, and it's sealed with being intimate," I said, kissing her forehead, rocking against her.

"You are mine and I am yours," I whispered against her lips.

"In every lifetime," she whispered.

I crushed my lips against her, frantic to feel her skin against mine. She was just as needy as I was. She ran her hand down my chest, along my abs, and she stroked my cock over my sweats. My body grew hot as we rushed to get our clothes off.

She laid there naked, one of her breasts had Ryder's mark on it and I liked that she was branded. She looked like an angel with her sweet features until she leaned up to stroke me. Her eyes were wide as she took in my cock.

"Sol, you're a vision, looking innocent, but I know better," I said, leaning over. "I've heard that filthy mouth."

She squirmed, "I need you," she whined.

"Not before I have a taste," I said, kissing down her neck, kissing each nipple, kissing her navel before I arrived exactly where I wanted. I kissed her mound, trailing down kisses on the sides of her cunt, loving that she kept trying to make me kiss her where she wanted the most.

"Max," she snapped.

I kissed her sensitive nub before torturing her more, kissing her everywhere.

"Oh, for goddess' sake, Max," she whined, running her hand through my hair.

I chuckled, loving her at my mercy, but a small part of me was worried this wouldn't be good for her. The two times I had had sex it was very quick without much foreplay and doubt started to make me worry. While I was away, the guard men constantly talked about their encounters, and I wished I had paid more attention when I decided to just go for it. I gave her one long lick.

Her back bowed from pleasure, crying out a yes. I chuckled, taking that as a good sign. I did it again, noticing her breathing grew faster when I swirled my tongue around her sensitive nub.

"Max," she moaned, tightening her grip on my hair.

"Show me what you like, Sol," I growled.

"Suck on my clit." She looked down at me with hooded eyes, pointing at her sensitive nub. "And fuck me with your fingers."

I sucked on her lightly, afraid of doing it too hard when I slowly pushed two fingers into her.

"Fuck," she whispered, closing her eyes, rolling her hips against my face.

I alternated between sucking and licking her while I pumped my fingers into her. Her breathing grew ragged, she moaned, and when I sucked her harder, her cunt tightened around my fingers. I kept paying attention to what she called her clit, feeling her get even more wet. Her cries were erotic, I rolled my hips against the bed getting some friction and I was close to just ramming myself into her. She moaned my name as her cunt clenched around my fingers. I wanted more, needed more and I continued to lick and suck.

"Ok, Ok, Ok, I'm too sensitive," she said, pushing me away.

When I stopped, she laid back down with a dreamy smile on her face.

"I loved that," I said, kissing her clit, getting a small jerk of her hips.

"You were amazing," she said, as I knelt in front of her, stroking myself.

Her heart rate quickened as she stared at my hand.

"What's wrong, Sol," I said, feeling her nerves.

"I don't think you're going to fit," she said, her cheeks blooming red.

"It will, Sol. Maybe you need another orgasm to calm those nerves and have you soaking wet for me," I said, leaning back down to lick her again.

"No," she moaned, leaning up. "I want you."

I licked and sucked on her, feeling her tension bleed away before I picked her up as I laid down and brought her cunt right above me. I wanted a better view of her pleasure and she delivered. Oria rolled her hips above me, holding onto my hair, looking drunk on pleasure.

"Use me, Sol. I want to see you fall apart again and again," I growled against her clit.

"I'm close," she said, holding onto her breast before pinching her nipple.

I slid my hand up her stomach until I reached her other breast, trying to mimic what she just did and when I pinched her, she bucked into my mouth.

"Max!" She looked down at me, quickly moving off my face.

She slid down my body until she reached my cock. Slowly she rubbed herself against me, luring a moan out of me until she notched herself on me, leaning back so the head of my cock slid into her tight heat. Pleasure ripped through me as I breathed through it; I didn't want to embarrass myself.

"Oh, goddess," she moaned, sinking herself even lower.

The euphoria was sweet torture as she took me inch by inch. When she was flush against me, she planted her hands on my chest taking a deep breath.

"Damn, Max," she groaned, letting her head fall backwards, rolling her hips drawing out a moan from me.

"Sol." I clenched my jaw from the pleasure that pooled low in my abdomen. "Are you ok?"

"More than ok," she grunted.

She moved her hips faster and faster, gaining a delicious rhythm that had my toes curling. She didn't look like an angel anymore pulling another groan from me. She was sexy and she looked like my fantasy except this time she was confident and took her pleasure from me.

"You look like a goddess," I grunted, grasping one of her breasts and pinching her nipple. "You look so good taking my cock."

She cried out when I pinched a little harder.

"Max," she said in a breathy tone, looking down at me with half lidded eyes.

I thrust up into her, feeling this frantic need to fuck her harder.

"Yes!" she shouted.

We met thrust for thrust as the tendrils of our magic started to weave with each other. Her eyes widened from the feeling, and I couldn't help the smile that surfaced on my face.

"Corpus Animaque," I said, slowing my thrusts.

"Corpus Animaque," she said back, leaning over to kiss me.

It was our promise. Body and Soul.

Our lips touched and the magic weaved through me into her and her magic weaved into me making us glow with power. I gasped, feeling her power weave into me, flipping her onto her back laying over her, snapping my hips back and thrusting into her. Oria cried out running her nails down my back as I picked up my pace.

"Right there, don't stop," she whimpered, grabbing ahold of my ass, desperately trying to push me in deeper.

I groaned, leaning down to capture her nipple in my mouth, grazing my teeth over the hard tip. Her breathing grew ragged, her cunt spasmed around me as she came again. Her scream was music to my ears as I kept the pace she wanted me to, holding on just a little longer to make sure she finished completely.

Her head thrashed side to side exposing her next to me and I didn't know what was happening when my incisors lengthened. The urge to bite her was overwhelming and I couldn't stop it. I leaned down, kissing her neck before I sunk my teeth into her and she tightened around me again, pushing me over the edge with her.

"Corpus Animaque," I said, kissing her bite mark feeling something else snap into place.

"Body and soul in every lifetime," she whispered.

I pulled away to see her sleepy content expression.

"You're finally mine, Sol." I kissed her softly. "I had always hoped we would find our way back to each other. For years I had lost that hope and now it feels like a dream that you are mine. I love you, my Sol."
