A deep groan turned into a growl as I felt this creature’s obvious arousal; her hips lazily rocked back and forth, coating me with her wetness as she rubbed against me.
“That’s it,”I rumbled in my mind,“use me.”
The words were completely foreign, almost as if something—or someone—else was speaking through me to the woman now clutched in my hands as I unconsciously helped her cant her hips.
I thrusted in time to her movements, pulling far enough away that I could feel the head of my cock brush against the small thatch of curls just at the apex of her thighs, before I pulled her body back toward mine, grinding the base of my erection against her clit. In seconds, she was moaning, her hands scrambling for purchase against my back as she pushed her breasts against my chest once more before throwing her leg over my hip, opening herself up to me.
With one hand, she reached between us, cupping my balls briefly before grasping my shaft and blindly navigating my erection to her warm, soaked core.
A purely animal instinct took over, begging me to thrust forward and seat myself completely inside this woman; to claim her as ours.
Solidify the Bond, that androgynous voice whispered through my mind once more, giving me pause just as I began to push my hips forward. The tip of my cock just barely breached her core, and just that bit had my restraint dissipating like smoke.
Bond?I thought.I’m already Bonded.
The woman nestled her nose against my neck while she wriggled, desperately trying to push me farther inside. I held her hips tight in my hands, the hazy fog of lust and whatever this strange entity was beginning to lift enough for me to actuallythink.
I scrunched my eyes closed tight, desperately trying to remember how I got here and what happened before I woke to a woman in my bed.
I finally recognized my room—the bed felt like mine, my signature slightly smoky scent lingering on the sheets. But, as I inhaled, I noticed something elsethere; a faint undertone that was not the sickly-sweet roses so characteristic of Gisei, my Bonded.
No, this was deeper, richer, and more robust. Like a pine forest after a heavy rain, the needles all saturated and bursting with a scent so sharp it almost burned. Layered over it, though, tempering the stinging thickness of pine, was a faint aroma of parchment. Not like a new sheaf, but like ancient scrolls so weathered with age and time that they were nearly indecipherable.
Instantly, my eyes flared open as recognition set deep in my bones. My heart raced with the implications of my discovery.
Sure enough, Faylinn lay in my bed, in my arms, her brows creased in what I knew was frustration as a small, nearly indecipherable whine lilted from her lips.
The shock of the situation had my grip loosening on her lush waist for a moment, but that failure was just long enough to allow her hips to push forward, seating my cock further in her pussy. Faylinn was wet and warm, and I felt her walls tremor around my erection as the voice inside my head begged me to fuck all the way inside.
A small thread of awareness illuminated in my soul, like a golden filament that connected me to the stunning creature beside me. Vague thoughts and emotions filtered through, and my eyebrows rose in shock, realizing that I was feelingFaylinn’semotions.
Why is Faylinn in my bed? Where was Gisei?
Pain and agony unlike anything I’d ever felt ripped through my mind; an open wound that bled fresh with every pound of my broken heart.
Alois—my oldest friend, my brother, my companion—was dead.
I killed him, just as I killed Gisei.
The reality still felt vaguely out of reach, like a film had been drawn over my consciousness, blanketing everything in numbing grey.
I clung tighter to the soft, supple flesh against my palms, using it to ground me and hold me here to this moment. In my pain, I pulled her tight against my chest, not realizing that my cock was still resting in her opening. The movement caused me to sink deeper, the thread that connected us sharpening and pulsating until I could hear Faylinn’s thoughts just as clearly as if they were my own.
“Rohak . . . we can’t,” Faylinn whined in my mind. I froze, dick quivering in her warmth.
“We can’t?”I thought and jumped in surprise when Faylinn responded.
“No,” she whispered aloud this time.
My eyes grazed over her form, noticing the goosebumps of arousal that pebbled her skin and the tightness of her brown nipples that were pressed hard against my chest. Faylinn’s fingers dug deeply into the muscles of my back, her nails biting into my flesh hardenough to cut.
The grit of her teeth and clench of her jaw, however, belied her apparent need. Faylinn’s eyes were still closed so tightly that the corners showed the wrinkles in her skin.
“I won’t hurt you. I wouldn’t survive it,”I whispered a truth to her, knowing she wouldn’t remember it even if she did hear it. My heart rioted with the thought that, despite her body’s desire, Faylinn truly didn’t wantme.
Reluctantly, I pulled my erection from her cunt, nearly weeping at the desire to stay inside her. The golden string in my mind rioted, shooting bolts of pain through my skull and body, every cell of my being demanding that I push myself back inside Faylinn.
With a shudder, I retreated far enough away to allow my erection to bob back against my stomach with a wet slap.
