Chapter 34

Keir

"It's you she needs," Ida revealed as she looked at me.

I'd known it the moment Lillian collapsed against me in the crowd. My touch, my voice, had given her enough to wake up from the initial shock of everything, but once I placed her back on the ground to be mauled by my brothers, her time began ticking again.

Their essence had done wonders for her, sure, but from what Nicholas told us about the encounter at the top of the mountain, she'd spent every bit of it she had. Our mother had been right the day she visited Lillian. The twins had been enough then, but they weren't enough anymore.

She needed more.

She needed me.

As I watched Ida examine her, I was already anticipating her answer.

I'd thought about this moment since I'd first met Lillian, but I never imagined it would be like this. This is not how I wanted it to be, but there was no other way. She was having such a hard time staying awake.

What if she didn't even want this, though? What if she'd rather wither away than let me give her what she needed? What if she'd rather die than be with the guy who'd been so fucking cruel to her, denying her and pushing her away this whole time?

Ida turned back to the twins. "There are alternatives that can help temporarily, but I have no idea how long th—"

"I'll do it." Three pairs of eyes shot to me.

Ida went to open her mouth.

"I said, I'll do it." I walked over to our girl.

I laughed at myself. Our girl. Imagine that. I never thought I'd be sharing a girl with my younger brothers, yet here I was, about to bond myself to her, the last one to do so, in an irreversible way.

I brushed a piece of hair from her face, and she moved, a tiny exhale escaping from her parted lips. I let my hand drift down her cheek to her jaw and then to her neck.

Wake up, princess. Please. I need to know you're okay.

She shifted her body on the couch as if she'd heard me.

Please, princess. I'm begging you.

She didn't move at first, but then I saw the corner of her mouth twitch upward.

Begging? Doesn't sound like begging yet. The voice in my head was light and playful.

I breathed out a laugh and bit my lip, amused with her. I didn't think about the people still in the room with us as I leaned down to her ear and whispered, "I'm begging you, princess. Wake up." I licked her earlobe and felt her shiver. "I promise I'll make it worth your time… if you let me."

She didn't budge, not even cracking a smile. She was going to make me work for it, as she should have, and I was her willing victim.

"Please wake up. I want to worship that perfect little body of yours until you're screaming my name. I want to bury my face between your thighs until you're shaking beneath me. I want to stuff you so full of my cock, you won't be able to leave my bed for days. I'm begging you, Lillian," I drew out her name. "Please, let me have you. Let me give myself to you. All of me. I'll do anything."

I leaned up in time to see one of her eyes pop open lazily. "Anything?"

I nodded. "Anything."

"Like letting the twins watch?" She eyed me curiously.

I was reminded of the people in the room when my brothers started laughing, and I felt my cheeks burn as I closed my eyes. "If that's what it takes… yes."

Her hand found the side of my face, her soft palm cool against my hot cheek. "I won't do that to you." I sighed with relief. "Yet." My shoulder tensed back up.

"You'll be the death of me, woman," I told her before diving in for a quick kiss.

"I'll get my fantasy one of these days," she teased back. "You just wait and see."

"Well, that was quite a turn of events," Ida said somewhere behind me, but I couldn't be bothered to give her an ounce of my attention. "I think I'll leave now."

I picked Lillian up from the couch, cradling her in my arms. She was still weak, but she managed to wrap her arms around my neck. I didn't say anything to my brothers as I walked down the hall and headed to my bedroom— our bedroom.

"Don't wait up, boys!" Lillian said with a bit of enthusiasm, though her voice was shaky. "I'll be a bit busy with Keir tonight." She peeked around my shoulder at them before saying, " In his bed! "

"Fucking hell, Lillian," I said as I shook my head at her before closing the door behind us, a huge smile spreading on my face.

"I like seeing you smile," she said plainly, watching me with gentle eyes.

I wanted to throw her on the bed, rip her clothes off, and fuck her with all the tension and frustration I had, but I knew her frail, worn-out body couldn't handle that. Instead, I sauntered over to the bed and laid her down gently. She seemed reluctant to unwrap her arms from my neck, but she had no choice when I pulled away.

"Where are you going?" Her voice was full of disappointment as she watched me walk to the other side of the bed, my side.

"I'm not going anywhere, princess." I positioned myself next to her on the bed, lying as close to her as possible without actually touching her. I turned my head to see her staring at me. She looked uncertain.

"Are you okay?" she asked with utmost sincerity.

I took a few seconds to take in the moment, to take in her face, her body. "I'm okay." I reached up and brushed her cheek with my finger. She closed her eyes, savoring my touch. "I am so, so sorry, Lillian," I whispered.

She immediately opened her eyes and rolled to her side, placing her hand on my chest. Her touch sent zaps of electricity all over my body, making my heart beat so hard and fast that she couldn't feel it thump against her palm.

I couldn't look away from her face, the way she drank me in, even though her eyes could barely stay open. She didn't respond to my apology; she just watched me.

I felt compelled to continue, to offer her more. "I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to be so… so fucking stupid about this. It wasn't supposed to happen like this." I sighed and wiped my face with my hand. "I've never not wanted you," I admitted to her. "I didn't want to push you away. I am a damn fool. I just got so… afraid. Afraid of what I could do to you, but even more afraid of what you could do to me." I held her hand to my chest as I rolled over on my side to face her, our faces barely an inch away, and noticed the corners of her eyes filling with tears. "You have no idea the effect you've had on me, princess. You've not left my mind for a single moment since we met, and the ways you've changed me are both electrifying and equally terrifying. I tried resisting you with every fiber of my being, but all I did was hurt us both. And for that, I am truly sorry." I paused to wipe away the tears that escaped her eyes. "Please forgive me."

I brushed my thumb, still wet with her tears, across her lips, eliciting a gasp from her. She took a moment to ponder, then said, "I already forgave you. You didn't even need to ask."

My heart seized in my chest, ready to burst at a moment's notice. "Hail, Satan, I don't deserve it, though."

She gave me a sympathetic smile. "You deserve that and so much more, Keir." She closed the distance between us and pressed her soft lips against mine.

I was taken aback, and my hesitation must've made her think I wasn't accepting her kiss, because she began to pull away.

That wouldn't do.

I wrapped my hand around the back of her head and smashed our lips together again. There was no hesitation from either of us this time.

She immediately opened her mouth for my tongue, and I dove into her. The moans coming from her throat vibrated our dancing tongues. I kissed her with everything I had, everything I'd been hiding from her. By the end of this kiss, she was going to know how much I wanted her, wanted this.

"Let me have you, Lillian. Not because you need me, but because I need you." I spoke without ever pulling my mouth away from hers.

She swallowed, her eyes searching my face for any hint of deception, but she wouldn't find any.

Her lips parted, as if she was going to say something, but she seemed to choke on her words, so she nodded instead. I let out the breath I'd been holding and pulled her to my body in a tight hug.

"I'm going to make you moan so loud, the twins get jealous," I whispered into the top of her head, making her giggle. It was the most melodious sound I'd ever heard, one I'd be happy to listen to on repeat for eternity.

I stood from the bed and began unbuttoning my shirt. My eyes remained glued to her as I put on a slow, teasing show. Once I removed my shirt, her eyes grew wide, her mouth parting ever so slightly. Seeing just how badly she wanted me almost made me hurry my pace, but I stayed steady as I removed the rest of my clothes until I was standing completely naked before her, showing her every piece of me.

Her eyes were drawn to my cock, all nine inches of it, standing at attention for her. She licked her lips before looking back at me like she had one thing on her mind.

Same, princess.

She blushed.

I advanced toward her, and she sat up, though her body was still shaky. She sat still as I peeled the suit from her skin, rolling it down her arms, then her hips. She lifted her ass off the bed so I could bring it down her legs. As I tossed her outfit to the floor, she made quick work of her black bra and panties before laying back on the bed.

"I wanted to take those off," I growled.

She shrugged, a naughty grin spreading across her lips. "Color me impatient."

I chuckled softly, keeping my eyes on her as I crawled over her, stopping once I could dip my head down and kiss her. "I've been dreaming of this moment for so fucking long."

She smiled against my lips. "You and me both."

I kissed down her jaw to her neck, then down to her breasts. I kneaded one of them with my hand while I focused on the other with my mouth, rotating between nipping, sucking, and kissing her skin.

She wound her hand in my curls, tugging on them with the same rhythm I used on her body. After giving her other breast the same slow, sensual treatment, I kissed down to her belly button and dove my tongue inside it. She arched her back, an erotic, throaty moan leaving her mouth.

I continued my path of kissing and nipping until I reached her dripping pussy. She was so aroused, I could literally smell her, and it was intoxicating.

"Keir, please," she begged from the bed. "I need you."

"Patience, princess," I purred, placing my hands on the inside of her thighs.

She didn't fight me as I parted her legs, baring her dripping cunt to my gaze. I licked my lips in anticipation of tasting her. I'd been wanting to do this since that night she spread herself out on the altar for us.

I couldn't help but groan when I licked up the length of her cunt, twirling my tongue around her clit. She jumped, but I held tight to her thighs so she couldn't go anywhere. I continued to torture her sensitive clit, while she tried her best to wiggle away. By the time I gave her a break, she was a panting mess, looking so damn beautiful with her eyes closed and mouth open.

"Oh… Fuck… Keir…" she whimpered.

I climbed over her body until I was in her face again, darting my tongue out across hers. "Taste yourself," I commanded before thrusting my tongue inside her mouth.

She tried to turn her head, but I held her jaw in place with my hand, forcing her lips to open even more, allowing me to have my way with her. I reached my other hand down her body, brushing against her skin until I reached the mess between her thighs. All it took was one of my fingers dipping inside her to make her gasp.

The way she reacted to my touch nearly shredded what little control I held at this moment, and I reminded myself of the state her body was in, what she'd just been put through. I added a finger and curled them before pulling away from her mouth.

"If you can come in ten seconds, I'll let you choose what position I claim that pussy in first," I challenged her.

"Fuck," she breathed between us, a cocky, seductive smile forming on her face.

I moved my fingers inside her and pressed my thumb against her clit while scattering kisses along her face, jaw, and neck. She writhed beneath me, pushing her chest to mine, her hard nipples rubbing across my skin. At that moment, I wanted to fuse us together forever so I never had to stop touching her.

"Ten…" I began my countdown.

She pressed her head back into the mattress, and her hands gripped the sheets.

"Nine…"

"Hail Satan…" she murmured.

I smirked at her reaction, loving the effect I had on her.

"Eight…"

I added a third finger, making her moan. Her wet pussy was more than happy to accommodate the intrusion, clenching around my fingers.

"Seven…"

"Keir…"

Her sweet voice calling out my name like that made my painfully hard cock throb.

"Six…"

I sucked on the skin of her neck, taking great pleasure in marking the pale skin there.

"Five…"

She was so lost in her pleasure, her body was shaking, her thighs trying to close as I held them open.

"Four…" I leaned down to her ear. "Is my princess going to come for me like a good girl?" Her body stiffened as she obeyed, and her cunt squeezed my fingers. "You love being talked to, don't you, Lillian? You love being told how beautiful and slutty you are." She moaned, and I continued to move my fingers to draw out her orgasm. "You really are such a good fucking girl, princess. Watching you come undone on my fingers was so… Mmm… It was so damn sexy." I slowed the pace of my fingers, letting her body relax a bit. "I can't wait to feel you squeeze my cock like that."

"Holy hell…" she muttered as I pulled my fingers from her dripping mess.

"Look at me." She peered at me with half-lidded eyes. I nipped at her bottom lip, making her hiss, then kissed it better. "Pick."

She seemed confused for a moment, but I saw the moment the lightbulb in her head lit up. She sucked her bottom lip between her teeth before answering. "Lay on your back."

I complied quickly, pulling her on top of me as my back hit the bed. Her wet heat lined up with my cock, and she made good use of her position, grinding herself against me, making me groan. I grabbed her hips, making her stop.

"If you don't let me in that tight pussy right now, I might lose my shit, princess."

"Now, who's impatient?" she teased.

She lifted, and I fisted my cock to line up with her entrance. I closed my eyes as she sank down on me, never expecting such ecstasy from her just sitting on me.

"Fucking hell. You feel so fucking good," I groaned.

Once she was fully seated, I bucked against her, burying myself even deeper. She responded by placing her hands on my abs and grinding against me.

"Ride me, princess. Use me. Because this is the only chance you'll get."

I watched her as she lifted off me then sat back down, taking full advantage of her one chance to be in control. Her cunt felt so good as she rode my cock. She threw her head back, pure bliss sweeping across her face. I grabbed her tits with my hands, pinching her nipples between my thumb and finger, her hot cunt responding immediately by tightening as she continued to ride me.

"You love that, don't you, Lillian?" She responded with a moan, and I could feel her pussy pulse around me. "Don't fucking come yet." I grabbed her hips, making her stop. I rubbed my hands over her thighs, forcing her to shudder.

She opened her eyes, blushing when she saw me gazing up at her.

"Are you ready?" I asked her, my world pausing to await her response.

"I'm ready," she replied immediately.

I didn't wait another moment. I brought her body down to mine before flipping us over, my cock still fully sheathed inside her. "I am so fucking sorry I couldn't make a bigger deal about this, princess. This is the least you deserved, but I promise I am going to pour everything into making this special, and I'll spend forever making it up to you." I caressed her cheek with the back of my finger, searching her eyes for doubt. All I found was complete devotion and a deep love I didn't deserve. "Are you sure about this?"

She smiled softly, reaching up a hand to hold my cheek with a gentle touch. "I have always wanted this. I have always wanted you ."
