“The faster we get upstairs, the faster I can get you naked,” I mumbled between our kisses.
“Hmm.” She hummed, considering. “Good point. I need to get at this beast as quickly as possible.” She grabbed my cock, gripping it through my leather pants, and made me groan as she squeezed.
She cackled with laughter as I grabbed her hand and pulled her quickly through the palace, nearly running to get up each level.
We made our way past the treasure room, up and past the Hedone room, until we finally got to the main level. And, of course, Ilta was coming down the hall right as we appeared.
“You’re back!” she shrieked, and threw herself at the two of us, hugging us both tightly. I would have made fun of her for it if I hadn’t felt her trembling.
We all knew there were risks involved in our journey. I couldn’t imagine how they felt having to just sit around and wait for us.
“You’re both okay?” she asked, voice suspiciously damp as she pulled back to look us over.
“We’re fine, Ilta,” I reassured her with a small smile. She searched my face to make sure I was telling the truth, and Asteria nodded to reassure her as well. “We’ll have to arrange a meeting with everyone. But tomorrow morning. Asteria and I have other plans to see to right now.”
Asteria snorted, trying to hide a giggle, and Ilta slowly smirked, raising her brows. “Well, far be it from me…”
Asteria let out a full laugh, and with Ilta’s permission, I grabbed Asteria and threw her over my shoulder, zipping upstairs to my room as fast as my Fae speed would take me. My mate’s laugh ringing out down the halls like music to my ears.
I burst through the door to my rooms, making straight forourbedroom. A fact I felt a complete thrill over. I couldn’t wait for all of this to be over so we could just live our lives together. Waking up slowly and falling asleep in each other’s arms. After tiring ourselves out from hours of sweaty, bloody sex, if I had my way.
My fangs lengthened at just the thought. Asteria bounced as I threw her on the bed, my hands immediately going to undo her corset. Her own hands eagerly ripped at my armor in return, and we began racing to try to get the numerous pieces undone and on the floor as fast as possible.
My fangs were literallyachingat the idea of what was to come.
Chapter Fifty-one
Asteria
I couldn’t getmy hands on Calix fast enough. A desperate drive ricocheted through the bond, bouncing off one another and amplifying our desire as we drove each other into a frenzy.
Our swords and belts were torn off first and thrown to the bench at the foot of the bed. Once my armored corset was untied, it went flying across the room, while his armor crashed to the ground with a loud thunk. My leather pants were ripped in two while my claws raked his into ribbons. My armbands were inconsequential enough that we just skipped them altogether.
My hands dug into Calix’s hair, dragging his mouth to mine, while he grabbed me by the thighs and hooked me around his waist. I squirmed, pressing my body to his and tilting my hips up to thrust against the straining bulge in his pants. I felt like I couldn’t get close enough, wishing I could just climb inside him. My tongue certainly did so, tangling with his as we devoured the other.
I was already soaking wet, and Calix wasted no time pushing me down, grabbing my thighs and wrestling them open so he could slot himself between them. He teased his cock through my arousal for only a moment before he was suddenly sinking inside me. His inability to wait was more than appreciated.
My mouth disconnected from his, only to scream when he pushed inside, stretching me around his girth. His mouth thankfully found another pursuit, sucking down my neck and scraping his fangs across the skin. He didn’t bite, merely teased me with them, caressing the skin there with the sharp points. As he bottomed out, he paused for a moment, looking up at me with eyes saturated with color.
The world seemed to pause around us at that moment. Our bond singing between us as we reveled in being connected so closely once more. Calix’s hand came up to my cheek, softly running his thumb over it. I couldn’t help my smile, even as his lips found mine once more.
My legs locked around his waist and held him to me as our tongues dueled furiously. His hips pulled back only to thrust in hard, and my own hips flew off the bed to meet him. Our hands were everywhere, trying to touch as much of the other as we could while our hips crashed together over and over.
It felt as if we’d left reality behind. The urge to complete our bond drove both of us hard, like some primal instinct within us had been unlocked. Words were completely unnecessary and lost in the haze of passion that had descended on us anyway. The feelings bouncing between us drove us higher and higher instead.
As Calix thrust into me again, I tightened my legs and used my thrust upward as momentum to flip us over. Calix crashed to the bed with a filthy smirk on his face as he watched me fall on top of him, his cock hitting deep inside and making me moan loudly. I rose up slowly, slamming down hard. Calix grabbed onto my hips and thrust up from underneath me until we were fighting one another for control once more.
I rode him fast, using my Fae speed and strength to aid me until I was nearly a blur of movement. The stretch of his cock inside me was too good, and my arousal was steadily leaking out around the base of his cock, aiding my pursuit. Even as his cock kissed that spot inside me that made me see stars, my actual stars expanded into the space around me.
Calix was enjoying the show, watching me passionately and helping when needed. His hands found my breasts, pinching and twisting my nipples before soothing them with his mouth. But as my first orgasm approached, a sinister twinkle appeared in his eye. I braced myself even as my climax overcame me, screaming his name into the room.
Calix pulled out of me the moment I stopped cumming. We flew upward, Calix’s shadows wrapping around my limbs as I hit the wall. They held onto my limbs like vines, leaving me spread-eagle against the wall. Calix himself slowly stood from the bed, pumping his cock as he stalked forward, taking me in fully.
I yanked on the shadows, but they held firm. My starlight churned around me, but his shadows filled the room, darkening it to a pitch-black night and keeping my stars too busy with his shadows elsewhere to help free me.
“What are you doing, my dorchadas?” I asked him, expectantly. Raising a brow from my bound position.
“What?” he responded with faux innocence. “I merely want to fully appreciate my mate.” He growled softly as he reached me, his hand finding my neck and wrapping softly around it. He gave it a light squeeze, making me moan at the sensation. I wished I could press my legs together and take some of the edge off, my poor cunt was crying for attention again already.
