His eyes soften for a second before desire burns in them, and he pushes his boxers down and pulls out his cock. Big… very big, and I know it’s probably going to hurt, but I will learn. I’m a damn excellent student after all.
He pushes everything off his legs before climbing over me, pressing his forehead against mine. He grabs my hands and pins them above my head, forcing my nipples to press against his hard chest as he hovers his lips over mine. I wrap my legs around his waist just as the tip of him presses into my entrance. His eyes roll into the back of his head as just the tip of his huge cock slips into me. He feels so good. “Black,” I moan, begging for more.
He growls before he slams into me in one long thrust. Pain and pleasure mix as he stretches me, and I’m so full. He fills me so perfectly. I gasp as his tongue invades my mouth, as he completely and utterly controls me, as he pounds away insideme. Sex has never been like this. He is ruining me for anyone else. My orgasm, another one, is right there, and I can’t hold it back anymore. As he pounds harder and harder, I can’t control it as I come with his tongue in my mouth. He groans, pulling me on top of him. As I come around his cock, I roll my hips. His head rolls back as he moves my hips with him, showing me exactly what he wants. His muscles tense, and he watches me with wonder as I slide up and down his cock. I wonder how long he can last when this is his first time.
The answer is almost instantaneous. “I need to fill you with me; I want to see you dripping. Keep fucking me with that tight pussy, Juniper.”
I moan, riding him harder, and I feel him slowly but surely lose it. His eyes darken, and the growl that echoes from his throat is hardly human. It’s all dragon. His cock feels hotter inside me and bigger. He growls, pulling out of me, only to push me onto all fours, pulling my ass in the air before sliding back into me again. The position, the angle of him, it’s all too much. He feels amazing as he slams into me, his hands gripping onto my hips so tightly.
He leans his body over me and, before I’m even aware, his teeth sink into my shoulder, and pleasure swallows me as orgasm after orgasm hits me one after the other. I feel him fill me with his come, so much of it that I can’t breathe. His shout of pleasure echoes around mine as I continue coming again and again until it finally stops and I collapse in a puddle onto the moss. Black pulls out of me, picking me up onto his lap and curling around me on the floor, faces pressed together. He reaches between us, covering my pussy and pushing his seed back inside me.
“That was so, that was mind-blowing. This multiple orgasm thing, I think that’s what I should call it, because that was…I’ve never…” I mutter, unable to even think straight.
Black kisses me, and I stop. “It’s something mates can do to each other.” I rest my head on his chest, and I nearly jump. “The mating bond completed.”
“You just said that in my head.” I look up.
“I did. For now, only just after sex will we be able to hear each other like this. But our bond will grow, and we’ll be able to speak mind to mind all of the time,” he explains in my mind. “Mating is always different for everyone. Some mates hear each other’s thoughts, others can speak to each other like us, others can feel each other’s emotions, and there are many more gifts. I love that I can speak to you like this.” It’s strange to hear him in my head.
I smile and try speaking back. “I can tell you I’m looking at your ass in class soon, then?” He laughs and I lower my eyes, pausing when I see something new. There’s a mark right in the center of his chest.
“What is that?” I ask, pointing at the mark on his chest.
He looks down, a proud glow on his face. It’s some kind of rune that almost looks like aUshape. A dragon’s swirled around the bottom of theUand looks like it’s biting the tip of it. He looks over me, his hands running across my hip. “You have one too. It’s a mating bond. Permanent mark. Mated pairs have them.” I look down and, sure enough, on my hipbone, is the same mark.
“I love you, Black,” I murmur.
He rolls on top of me, and I can feel him harden already. So definitely not done for tonight. “I love you too. Now let me taste what a mess I’ve made of you.”
We spend hours in that cave, and I don’t know how many times he’s inside me. I lose track, and we only have to leave when I know it’s not going to be long before the academy day starts. Black insists on flying me back to the academy, and he reluctantly leaves me outside the room before I go back in. All the joy, the elation, the happiness that I found from mating with Black fades away as I see a wedding dress hanging bythe window, the morning light streaming through it. It’s white, glittery, obnoxious and horrid, and there’s a note pinned right to the middle. I recognize Lock’s handwriting.
“My love. We’ve decided to speed up the wedding plans. I can’t wait to be married to you, and you’ll be mine forever.”
I crumble the note in my hands, letting it drop to the floor.
Over my dead body.
Chapter 16
We all look over the plan laid out on the floor of their room as Maz’s loud music echoes around the room. All the spells—the ones that are going to change Bloodstone Academy forever—are here, and there isn’t a single thing that isn’t forbidden. Just like us. The two main spells are in the middle—the ones specifically for me to do. The first is to tap into the barrier around Bloodstone Academy and control it, making sure that no witches or shifters can leave and no one can get in. The second one is to call the enchantress. Using my blood, I made sure to weave the spell so that Bloodstone Academy will let her and only her through.
The rest of the spells are pretty simple. One’s to drain magic from the witches. We’re going to start by poisoning all their food in the morning, and hopefully that will be enough to slow down anyone who wants to fight back. It’s going to be a bloodbath, we all know it, but there isn’t a way to change anything unless we do this. The Umbral Authority are a ticking time bomb, and I refuse to let them steal any more of my life away.
The shifters, the ones who the dragons have convinced to join them, will storm the castle to help gain control. We can lock down the castle, kill anybody that gets in our way. Then we’vedone it. We’ve taken Bloodstone Academy back, and the Umbral Authority will have to listen to me. No more prophecy stuff. No more ruining my life in the name of the greater good. The riskiest part of our plan is the enchantress. I have to hope the enchantress isn’t the villain they’ve made her out to be. We’re betting on a lot here, and I’m worried about what’s going to happen if any of it goes wrong.
“So we agreed this is happening this Saturday at midnight?” I look up at Maz. He’s sitting on a storage box at the end of his bed, sharpening one of his daggers and looking too good in a loose shirt and joggers. He winks at me when he sees me staring, and I gnaw on my bottom lip as I look away to Kane.
Kane is on the window seat, looking out at the forest. He turns back and meets my gaze. “We have to do it before the wedding next weekend. People will start turning up, especially the Umbral Authority, with such a grand wedding planned here at the academy. The fewer adult witches, the better.”
“He’s right. This weekend’s our last chance. Lock claims he’s having a bachelor party on the weekend, but he didn’t say where. He will be distracted at least.” I shrug.
“It’s going to work.” Black runs his fingers down my spine, to my hip and over the mark.
“Out of interest, what have you done to that prick Lock? He’s not very touchy-feely like I’d expect your fiancé to be, and he always looks so pale. Especially recently.” Vale coughs but doesn’t look over at me. I frown and quickly tell them about the spell, the one that I put on his dick. They stare at me, open-mouthed, for a minute before all of them burst into laughter. I laugh with them. Even Vale chuckles from where he’s sitting on his bed, quietly reading a book. His eyes meet mine for a second before he looks away, his smile dropping. “I boosted the spell last week. He didn’t look sick enough.”
Things have been so weird between all of us, and it has everything to do with Vale’s attitude, and this is more proof of how confusing he is. I’m not going to be the one to break the silence first. What would I even say to him? No, I’m not saying anything. He only talks around me when we are together as a group and never outside of that. I go to brush a strand of hair out of my face, and the watch on my wrist falls off with a bang.
“Oh, no.” I pick it up and examine it. “I think I’ve ripped a hole in the leather strap. It’s so old.”
