Ezra pulled me upright, my knees curling around his waist as he held me tight to his chest. In this position, he didn’t sink quiteas deep, a relief to my still-learning body, but we moved together slowly, finding a rhythm as I opened to this new phase of my life.
I hadn’t known sex could be like this—comfort, love, and so much more than physical. The vulnerability I’d felt bloomed into something beautiful as we became one.
He grunted, struggling to move and keep me close. My clit ached in all the right ways from the constant contact with his body. Despite the newness of being filled, my orgasm built and crested between us. It wasn’t the biggest, but it was the rawest, my body clenching around him, shaking apart. I sank my teeth into his shoulder to keep from crying out.
Moments later, his back went taut under my fingers, and his dick swelled, kicking my aftershocks into high gear. He squeezed me harder. Hot cum filled my passage, making my walls flutter all over again.
Slowly, I remembered I was still biting him, and I removed my teeth, leaving a slight indent on his shoulder. I blushed with embarrassment and looked everywhere but at him.
Ezra caught my chin, eyes burning. “I’ll keep your teeth marks forever. Don’t you dare be ashamed of wanting me.”
We stayed locked together, gazing into each other's eyes until his erection ebbed.
“Thank you for trusting me with your first time.” Ezra kissed me again. “It will only get better.”
I bit my lips together, both already turned on again and embarrassed. “Yeah, Xan’s little group therapy plan? Epic fail.”
Ezra smirked. He helped me off his lap, even putting a towel between my spread legs so he could pull me back into his arms without dripping on the bed. Practical and sweet.
“Was I really moaning that much?” I asked as he threw a blanket over us.
“And wriggling like a fish,” Ezra added.
Instead of letting myself be embarrassed, I rolled so my head was on his chest. “I met Xan in his office. You told him you loved him in that office.” I paused. Xan’s hadn’t used those words, but Ezra’s calm acceptance told me I was right. “It’s his favorite place in the entire castle.”
It was Ezra’s turn to blush.
“But you know what I found the most interesting?” I ran my finger down his abs and brushed his spent dick. “Cayden can tie up his dick. We didn’t talk about the finer points of why. But he caged it. There was no way he felt everything. Sounds like something you’d enjoy.”
Ezra raised an eyebrow. “Did you enjoy it?”
I toyed with the blanket’s edge. “Yes, but everything felt like a dream sequence. I remember it vividly, but when I woke up, my body hadn’t, ah, done any deeds.” I blushed. “Other than us. But I don’t think this is a dream. Or at least, I hope it’s not.”
“It isn’t.” Ezra tilted my head up and kissed me again. “Pass your tests, come back to us; we have exploring to do.” He paused. “Not tonight. But this dick cage.” He cleared his throat, almost bashful, before his usual confidence returned. “I want details. I’m very curious.”
I snuggled into his chest, and he pulled me close.
“I love you,” Ezra whispered.
My heart squeezed.I.Notwe.
“I love you too, Ez. Now go to sleep.” I swatted him.
I tried my hardest, but it didn’t take long for Ezra’s hands to start wandering and my pulse to beat in my clit. Maybe what we needed was more practice—sooner rather than later.
The next morning, pulling free of Ezra’s arms was torture, but I managed. My collar was back in place. As much as I wanted to stay, Ezra was still pretending to be a Westwater. We couldn’t risk blowing his cover with lovey-dovey bullshit.
He slipped out the back of my tent and vanished into his morning routine. Brit hovered outside my door when I emerged, and I squeaked in surprise.
She gave me a toothy grin. “Good night?”
I flushed tomato-red, but when I tried to tell Brit, she held up her hand. “We have a surprise guest this afternoon. Eat and train this morning. I don’t know what McDonald has planned for you, but I don’t trust it.”
I sobered and did as instructed.
The surprise was Everly. We squealed and hugged until Hero covered his ears like we were murdering him. I spent the afternoon catching up on everything on my friend's mind, and her horror of being back home.
“Even Hero didn’t like it,” Everly said, elbowing her twin.
