The table groaned beneath us. Threatening to break the way I wanted to break. I didn’t stop until she bore down around me, clenching so tight. Through our connection, she screamed my name, and I roared with pleasure as she came around me. Lost to everything in the world but her. Another groan and crack came from the table, and I lifted her off it, still inside her. She clung to me, riding me, coaxing more waves of pleasure.
Every time the lace around my shaft rubbed against her, my eyes rolled back, and I had to clench my jaw to keep myself in control.
“Nothing feels better than you,” she gasped. Her forehead pressed against mine. Sweat dripping down our bodies. “Nothing feels better than this.”
“We’ll see about that.” I walked us to the wall and put her back against it. Letting her slide all the way down on me. Both of us were breathing heavily, foreheads pressed together.
Feeling her, all of her, cracked open our connection even wider. Each beat of her heart thrummed inside my chest like it was my own. The trust blossoming between us radiated around me. This was what it was like to truly be with someone. Trust them with your heart. It was a love like I’d never known before.
I dragged myself slowly out of her, only to thrust back in, harder this time. Claire moaned with pleasure, and I kept going. Thrusting deeper and faster.
“Bastien!”
The way she screamed my name, out loud, broke something loose inside me. “This is the only thing I want to do for the rest of my life.”
Claire cried out my name again as her release built for a second time. I pumped in and out of her like I’d been born to do this. Made to make her come.
A feral noise tore from her throat.
“I’m all yours,” I said, pumping in and out. In and out. “And you know it.”
She was back on the edge, just where I wanted her. But I kept my pace, leaving her wanting because I had more to say.
“I’m not going to stop until I’m dripping out of you. And then I’m going to do it again, just to make sure it takes. Do you understand me?”
“Yes,” she panted. Her nails bit into my skin as she ground down on me. Her tightness quivering around me. I bucked my hips into hers, giving her the friction I knew she needed. Unable to tear my gaze away from her face.
Our bloodstones snapped together like two magnets, and every feeling intensified until I was worried I might not last, which wasn’t going to happen.
I pulled out of her for a second, just to carry her to a small conversation couch and set her down. I had never been harder in my life. Never wanted anything more. I caught the back of her knees and slid back inside her. From this angle, I could let loose. Fucking like a man possessed. My tight sack and the wet lace slapping against her with each hard thrust until I felt her pleasure cresting again.
“Oh, Bastien, I’m coming!” she screamed.
I picked up speed, hard and fast, making her clench around me, so tight and wet, until I couldn’t take it.
“I’ll come with you,” I told her.
I wanted this fantasy to be real. I wanted to give her every single drop of my seed just to watch it leak out of her, but I couldn’t let myself get that lost. At the very last second, I pulled out, fisting my thick length. Letting my cum find her stomach. Her tits. Her thighs. Working it free until there was nothing left.
I collapsed on the floor beside the couch, breathing heavily, my hand finding hers.
“Bastien?” Claire said tentatively.
I raised my brows. “Yes?”
“I—I’ve never felt this close to you.”
I kissed the back of her hand. “Me either.”
She touched the side of my face, staring into my soul with her molten brown eyes, when a line formed between her brows. “Never try to send me away again. Okay?”
I regarded her with such love in my heart, remembering when I thought our bond was cosmic punishment by the gods, only to realize it was so much more than that. Her love could never be a punishment.
I just had to be strong enough to keep her safe.
I kissed the top of her head. “I promise.”
