“You are so beautiful,” Viper groaned. “Fuck, Vervain. I love it when you ride me.”
“I know.” I grinned and slid down his cock. When I reached the bottom, I pressed down and churned my hips.
“Starlight, you're gonna make me come too soon.”
“No, I won't.” I started to pump.
Faster. Then slower. Faster again. I rode Viper until he was covered in a sheen of sweat and beyond words. All he could do was groan and grunt. Hours passed. Days. Years. Or so it felt. And I still didn't want to stop. Altering speed had taken care of Viper's threatening climax, but I couldn't prevent my own.
With a slam, I brought myself down and ground against him, my body shuddering as I panted through a second orgasm.
“Oh, fuck, look at you,” Viper growled, running his hands over my breasts. “Come here.”
Viper yanked me off his cock and up his body while I was still coming. Flopping about, all I could do was fall into place over his face. Viper positioned my legs to either side of his head, then pulled down on my hips until I was smothering him. Then he sucked at me.
I shrieked.
My magic threatened to rise. Don't ask me which one. I couldn't focus. It was worse than the confusion spell I'd been under. And so much better. I pushed back the magic, needing to keep this pure. Just Viper. I wanted to feel what he could do to me without any enhancement.
And he did not disappoint.
Viper's talented tongue sent me into a bigger climax, reaching an apex several screams higher. And then I was on my back, my feet in the air, and he was driving into me, my wet body clenching around his.
Staring up at Viper's glistening lips, I panted and clawed at his back. I was coming down, but also rising. The hard slide of his flesh wouldn't let me fall. It brought me back for another climb. The slick sounds of him entering me were delicious. I nearly closed my eyes to enjoy them. But then I'd have to give up the sight of Viper's strong body pumping into me, his muscles clenching and releasing, and his stare locked on my face.
“Starlight,” Viper growled.
“Nearly there,” I panted.
Viper yanked out and dove.
Nearly there wasn't good enough. Viper gave me a tongue-lashing for my shortcomings and sent me over. The wet heat of his tongue against my wet heat was impossible to deny. And as I was shaking through yet another orgasm, Viper popped up and thrust. He locked up on the second slam, his back arching but his stare still on me.
“I love you,” I said, my voice strong despite the pleasure rocketing through me.
Viper shook with my words, his body emptying into mine. Then, when the clenching and grunting was done, he bent over me and pressed our foreheads together. “I love you, Starlight. Forever.”
Nuff said. Viper may not be as poetic as Odin, but he didn't have to be. Sometimes simple was best.
Chapter Thirty-One
In the morning, chaos descended.
“Lesya, do not poke your brother with your fork,” I said.
“I'm not.” Lesya innocently stabbed a piece of pancake instead of Vero. Then, when she thought I wasn't looking, stuck her tongue out at him.
“I saw that!” I pointed my fork at her.
Lesya pouted.
“Sebastian!” Azrael put his hands on his hips and glared at our son, who was circling the ceiling. “Don't make me come up there.”
Sebastian's twin, Dominic, was sitting on his big boy chair, eating his pancakes nicely, ignoring his brother.
I was glad that Sebastian and Dominic hadn't matured as quickly as their siblings. I really was. It gave me more time with them as children. But the price for that was times like these.
Someone meowed. I looked down with a smile. Nicholas, my immortal tabby cat, was rubbing his silky, gray body against my legs.
