Grabbing her wrists and pinning them above her head, I slowly and torturously drag my tongue across her lips, burning on the inside as her eyes roll back and then snap shut, allowing herself to get lost in the pleasure. Her body shivers beneath me as she presses her hips into mine.

“Let me show you exactly how I feel about you, Hekate. Let me taste your desire on my tongue. Let me hear the desperation escaping your lips as you call out my name again and again.” Pulling her bottom lip into my mouth, I suck on it gently, savoring her quiet moan that vibrates against me. “I cannot bring myself to tell you how I feel, not yet… so let me show you instead.”

I grip the fabric of her dress, pulling it up and over her head. She eagerly wiggles free of it and carelessly tosses it onto the floor. As I kiss her from her neck to her collarbone, the warmth of her chips away at the walls of ice I have kept my heart locked within for far too long.

I will let it shatter to pieces for her.

Her body trembles and blue specks of her magic swirl around the white light of my flames, the colors glittering and dancing and filling the entire room with our power. I make my way down to her breasts and her magic brushes against my skin, so desperate and hungry and needy for more. Pulling her nipple into my mouth, I graze my teeth lightly against it, my clit tingling as she grips the nape of my neck, holding me there and arching into the warmth of my tongue. Her sweet cry of pleasure pushes me over the edge. I need to touch her, to feel her, to taste her like it could be the last time. I cannot wait any longer.

My magic surges as I gather it in my fingertips, using the vibrating thrum of a small flame to trace small circles around her belly button and across her chest. My arousal floods my senses so fast and hard I am nearly burning from the inside out, watching her glow with celestial light as she whimpers and begs and writhes against my power, her legs spreading wide as my magic teases the spot right above her clit. It’s too much. She lets out a breathless moan, sucks her bottom lip into her mouth, and as her eyes firmly lock on mine, the fire inside me cannot be contained. I must refocus in order to put out the flame, to avoid letting my newly found magic consume us both.

“Say it again, Hekate. Tell me how you feel for me…”

I refuse to touch her, removing my hands from her skin until she utters those beautiful words once more. My flames persist, though, the gentle, warm tingle of them climbing up her legs and settling at her hips.

“I love you, Nyx. I will always love you.” Her words are merely pants of breathless, desperate need.

“You are perfect,” I whisper into the skin at her hip, then lazily drag my tongue up her ribcage and bring one nipple and then the other into the warmth of my mouth.

I let her fully kiss me at last and she loses all control, our lips crashing together and our tongues silently expressing exactly what I am too scared to admit. Our kiss is deep and passionate enough to merge our souls together for eternity, binding us together as if we are fated to be. In this moment I know exactly how I feel for her. I know what she is to me. She is everything. One day I will be strong enough to tell her. I will no longer be afraid One day I will be everything she needs me to be.

As she moans against my tongue it makes me wetter, and as she grips the sides of my face to kiss me deeper, the ice around my heart shatters completely. I always knew she would be the one to set my heart free.

Sliding my fingers across the slickness between her legs, she loses all control, grinding her hips hungrily against my skin.

“Nyx…” Her whimper is barely audible, but my lips curve up at the corners as I watch her fall apart so beautifully.

The need to taste her consumes me as she gives in to her pleasure, succumbing to my touch and relinquishing control of her body over to me. Lying down on my stomach in front of her trembling, spread legs, I push two fingers deep inside of her wetness knowing she cannot take much more. She is too easy to please. Too easy to push over the edge and send spiraling into an oblivion of pleasure. I know she is close already. Her muscles tighten around my fingers harder with each thrust, so eager to fall apart around me. I flick my tongue across her sensitive clit and her back arches as she begins to grind into me, gripping the silky sheets between her fingers.

She savors every second of my tongue against her skin, moving her hips in small, slow circles as she comes closer and closer to the release her body craves.

I will never tire of her. I will never tire of this.

Pushing my fingers into her deeper and faster I bring her clit into my mouth, sucking on it like the delicacy it is, like the sweet blessing that she is. The desire between my legs builds and burns and tingles, each second of pleasuring her making my need for her grow. I need her now even more than she needs me.

As she falls apart against me, I grip her hips, forcing her against my tongue even harder, tasting her more thoroughly, and pushing my fingers inside of her until she is screaming my name. I let her whimpers and the pleasure that leaks onto my tongue quench my unbridled thirst for her. Even as her moans die out and her body trembles, I do not let her pull away from me. I want to feel every last drop of her pleasure trickling across my tongue. I want to ravish her until she can no longer move or breathe or imagine life without me ever again.

Her breathless laugh rushes out in a quiet huff of air as I pull myself up to hover over her. I moan softly, letting her taste the love we made with a kiss, pulling her tongue into my mouth and sucking it in greedily.

“Let me taste you, Nyx. I need you,” she whispers, removing my thin dress and gripping my thighs as she slides down and positions me above her. I straddle her mouth eagerly, and the warmth of her tongue is against my skin immediately. Leaning forward, I grip her breasts, enjoying the fullness of them in my hands. I caress her and feel her and allow my thoughts to fade away and focus on nothing but my pleasure. She pulls my clit into her mouth and the soft touch of her hands stroking my thighs sends shockwaves of pleasure along every burning nerve ending in my body. When she gives my nipples the soft little pinch she knows drives me wild, I feel my wetness leak and settle in her pretty little mouth. It makes me hungrier for her. I grind my hips in slow circles, and her tongue does the same as she ravishes me, sending her shimmering blue power swirling around us. Each brush of it against my skin brings new sensations, a passionate lick or a gentle lash or a persistent touch that begs me to fall apart for her.

“Please… say it again, Hekate. Convince me this is real.”

“I will love you forever, Nyx.”

As the words ring out around me, her name pours out in whimpers and the most beautiful orgasm rips through me, shattering the ice around my heart and my soul and every truth I try to hide when she is near crumbles to nothing. Every inch of my body is electric and alive with her in this moment. In every moment with her. I know the truth as well as she does… I love her.

My heart thuds against my chest and my breathing catches in my throat with words I want to say, but cannot yet, burning at the back of my throat unspoken. I collapse on the plush mattress next to her, knowing nothing has ever or will ever feel as good as being with her does. I would kill for this woman. Die for her. Take on any celestial, demon, or god known to man for her.

Anything for her.

“Say it, Nyx. Say what it is you’re thinking in that pretty little head of yours. Say how we both know you feel already.” She turns to her side, dragging a fingertip softly up my arm as I pull the sheet up around us.

Her blue eyes sparkle and glow brighter than ever as I roll over to face her and smile. “You know the truth. Why must I say it?” I try and fail to swallow back the fear of what might happen once I admit the truth.

Good things never last. In the blink of an eye everything disappears. Love dies faster than it takes for it to bloom, withering away to nothing but dust and death and disappointment. I cannot lose her. Once I say it, I fear fate or destiny will take it all away.

Her voice is firm but understanding as the bright glow in her eyes sparks and fades away. “I need to know I’m not in this alone. That you’re in this with me as much as I am with you. I just need…”
