“Jamie,please.” He tilted his head back, resting it atop my shoulder. His eyes were closed, his mouth open as I continued to stroke his length.
“Please what, my sweetheart?”
I was barely holding back; the only reason I wasn’t grinding into him was because of my broken arm. I only had the one I could use and I was determined to bring him pleasure even with just one functioning arm.
“Make me come, please,” he whispered and how was I to deny him anything when he asked so prettily?
“Anything for you, sweetheart.” I kissed his neck as I upped my speed, stroking him in earnest now. We were in public, but far enough in the back that I felt secure that we wouldn’t be interrupted. I also needed to hear more of the soft sounds that escaped my mate’s mouth. Casey was gorgeous, and so were his moans it seemed. I couldn’t believe I was lucky enough to hearthem, to be the reason for their existence in this very moment, and for the rest of our lives, too. If I had any say in it, and I did, I would make him sing for me every single day.
Casey turned his head, grabbing me around the neck and claiming my lips. His tongue teased mine as we deepened the kiss. Our first kiss had been soft and gentle. This was anything but. My mate was as hungry for me as I was for him, his tongue hot and slick and I felt fucking claimed by it.
It was my turn to moan, my cock hard against his ass where he pushed back against me. The tease. I rocked against his ass, imagining what it would feel like to finally sink into his tight heat. The thought made me stroke him faster, needing him to come.
He broke the kiss and groaned into my mouth, his dick spurting out cum, covering his underwear in it. I kept stroking him slowly, milking every last drop he had in him. I wanted it all.
We were both panting, but soon he broke into a huge smile, laughter following.
A clearing throat came next and I turned my head, already fearing who’d caught us.
Chapter Seven
“I can’t believe we were punished for having a little fun,” Casey grumbled as we neared the forest. The librarian had seemed disgusted with us, stating that mate business should be kept to our rooms. I hadn’t made the situation better when I pointed out that we weren’t allowed in each other’s rooms after dark.
“At least we get to do it together,” I reminded him, feeling pleased we had the rest of the day to gather ingredients. That was our punishment, finding plants and such for the healers. We’d gotten a list and were currently looking for the first thing on it.
Casey smiled at me, then took my hand in his. “And I’m glad for that part. I truly wasn’t trying to avoid you. Harpy just seemed to think you needed a bit more punishment for making me wait so long.”
I grumbled at that. “He made my brother wait even though heknewthey were mates, where’s his punishment?”
Casey only shook his head fondly at me, smiling like I was adorable. “What’s the first thing again?”
I looked to my arm still in its sling and then to the one currently holding his hand.
“Ah, sorry,” he smiled sheepishly and let go of my hand. I then freed the paper from my inner robe pocket and handed it to him. It was easier for him to read it considering I couldn’t open it with one hand.
“It says that we need ten Dressen stems. Do you have any idea what it is?”
I nodded, remembering how my father, Kian, had glass jars of the different ingredients needed for various things. My father, Tinus, also had lots of different ingredients he used for his potions. I felt pretty confident that I could find each thing on our list. “It’s a purple flower with blue pollen. It’s used in sleep potions or when you need to make the patient sleep through a heavy healing session.”
“How do you know that?” He seemed impressed by this, making me preen.
“My father, Kian, is a healer, even as the king’s mate. He refuses to give up his healing duties.” One of the things I admired most about him.
“He sounds like an amazing man.”
I smiled. “He is.”
Casey grabbed my hand again and together we searched for the purple flowers.
An hour later, we had all the things gathered except one, Cren-fall leaves.
“You want me to do what now?” Casey asked, glaring at me.
“Well, I can’t swim down to get them,” I replied, gesturing to my sling.
We stood beside the smallest lake on the island, the one secluded inside the dense forest, staring down into the depths at the yellowish plant that moved gently under the water.
Casey huffed in annoyance, and I had to agree with him. The sun was setting and I doubted the water’s temperature would be pleasant. But one good thing came out of this little punishment and as more of Casey’s pale skin was revealed, the more I felt like thanking the librarian for making this possible. I’d already seen him in his underwear, but this time he was wearing white ones.Ones I’d had my hand inside… I licked my lips as I took him in, appreciating that I could look my fill now.
