“If you were listening in class, you’d know there are different types of shadows,” he tells me, his voice clinical like he’s back in the lecture hall. “But these shadows,” he indicates to the shadows on my chest, “are an extension of my power. Ofme.When I wish, I can feel everything they touch.” As he says it, the shadows on my breasts move higher, playing with my sensitive nipples and making me whimper.
“Please,” my voice is muffled against the shadow covering my mouth.
He chuckles, sliding his fingers up to circle my clit, and teasing me mercilessly. He brings me to the edge, but just as I’m about to tip over and shatter on his desk, he lowers his fingers, dragging them down and teasing my entrance instead.
My eyes water with frustration. I try to curse him, but the words are still intelligible, so I do the only other thing I can. I wiggle my jaw and bite the small bit of shadow that falls into my mouth from my gag. I expect my teeth to pass through the shadow like it’s smoke, but it doesn’t. My teeth bite against something firm, and Galen hisses like I’ve bitten him.
His eyes heat, and I’m rewarded when he thrusts a finger into my pussy. I moan as he pushes it inside me, but he pulls his hand away straight after. Holding it up, he shows me how his fingers glisten with my wetness. Then he holds my gaze as he brings his fingers to his sensual lips, and he pushes them into his mouth, sucking them clean.
Oh, hell.
His eyes darken as he tastes me, and an unhinged, feral look enters his gaze. He moves so fast, I hardly see it.
And then his mouth is on my pussy, and his tongue is making me feel a pleasure so intense I try to scream, and I’m grateful for the shadow gagging me. The gag was a good call on his part, I guess, because if Knox came here and ruined this for me right now, I might have tried to kill him.
Galen’s shadows hold me in place as the man devours me, eating my pussy like some kind of starved beast, and my legs shake with how badly I need to come. Multiple times I’m right on the edge, ready to shatter, but Galen pulls back just long enough to stop my release before he starts on me again.
I cry a muffled curse, and Galen lifts his head, smirking. His eyes have turned black, and that feral look is still on his face.“Mmm that’s a good girl,” he murmurs, his hand reaching up to squeeze my upper thigh. “Wider love.” His shadows pull my legs even further apart, my thighs starting to burn, but not enough to distract me from how badly I want to come.
Sweat trails down my forehead, and I whimper, desperate for relief. Desperate for more. Forhim.
He smiles devilishly, noting the look in my eyes. “I’m only going to taste you, little shadow,” he murmurs. “And even that is pushing the line. If I had my way…” he trails off, looking just as tortured as I feel.
More muffled curses flood from me. If I was a witch, right now the man would have about one-hundred hexes on him, all that end with his dick falling off.
Like he knows this, his smirk grows bigger. He reaches up, flicking my sensitive clit with his finger, and I let out a muffled cry at the sensitivity. “But something tells me if I leave you like this, you’ll be an accident waiting to happen.”
An accident?I have no idea what that means, but I nod fervently, encouraging him to finish the job.
“And I suppose you have been well behaved.”
Again, I nod like my life depends on it. Because right now, it feels like I might die if he doesn’t get his head back down there.
One last smile, and he lowers himself between my legs again. This time as his mouth closes over my pussy, his teeth grazing against my sensitive clit, a shadow goes to my entrance, ice cold as it works its way…inside me.Oh holy shadow tentacles, am I getting shadowboned in… Shadowbone Academy?I snort, but my amusement disappears as the shadow fucks me, and the sensation is too damn much as ice pushes against my inner walls. I let out a muffled scream as an orgasm finally rips through me. Wave upon wave of pleasure rolls through my body, my legs shaking while he continues eating my pussy as his shadow thrusts inside me.
When the orgasm finally ends, I sag against the table, breathing heavily as I struggle to get air into my lungs.
Galen lifts himself from the end of the table, and his shadow disappears from my pussy. The shadows binding me gently release me, and as he stands, his shadows deposit me into his arms.
Striding over, he carries me to a leather armchair in one corner of the room, situated beside a roaring fireplace. Sitting, he places me on his lap.
I rest with my head against his chest, because I have zero energy left, and my eyelids are heavy with the need to sleep. Leaning down, he kisses my hair tenderly, and my heart squeezes traitorously, even though I know I shouldn’t fall for this man.
He’s still hard beneath me, and I reach down because it doesn’t seem fair. Before my hand can go to his cock, he stops me. “No,” he murmurs, his voice pained. “Not yet.”
Chapter Twenty-Four
~ Shade ~
“Yet?” I mumble against his shirt.
He lets out a long, frustrated sigh. “When they taste you, they’ll understand.”
I’m completely spent, but at the idea of Raith and the others ‘tasting’ me like Galen just did, desire still sweeps through me. “What will they understand? That I’m irresistible and you’re all crazy for denying that we’re mates?” I ask playfully.
I expect him to snort and correct me with whatever theory he has about me, but my heart nearly stops when he simply replies, “Yes.”
There’s silence for a moment.
