Jade cries out, back arching and hips lifting.

“Yesss,” she wails, voice cracking on a moan.

She doesn’t know how to breathe through it, but she does well either way. She holds me close and tight while her body shudders through the hot wave of pleasure.

I caress her as the orgasm rises and subsides, lavishing her pussy with slow strokes of my tongue and massaging her thighs with relaxing rubs. Once it’s over, I sit up, licking the remainder of her taste from my mouth and drinking it down.

“Doing okay, love?” I ask softly.

“Soooo good,” she replies, sighing happily. “Do I actually get to return the favor this time?”

My cock throbs, screaming yes, but I shake my head. “Not yet, Krasotka.”

If she put those pretty lips around my dick in any capacity, her virginity would be a thing of the past in mere seconds. I’m hanging by a thread as it is, seeing her this way. But I want Jade to experience sex for the first time as my wife. I don’t equate her virginity to her honor, but plenty of people do, and I would lose it if I saw anyone looking down at her for something I could have prevented.

Besides, a little self-control is good for the soul. For now.

“Damn,” she pouts, and I chuckle.

“Do you see how you feel right now, baby? Floaty and happy?”

“Yep. Feels so awesome,” she gushes.

“So, the next time you need to get your mind off of a little soreness,” I murmur, kissing the inside of her thigh. “Come to me, and I’ll make you feel all better just like this. No gummy needed, baby. I’ll eat you out for so long, everything apart from this pretty pink pussy will be numb.”

I don’t have a problem with recreational use on principle, but here? I never want to see Jade in an inebriated state in a place where I can’t step in ever again. Finding true trust in her brothers is going to be one of the most difficult things about keeping us a secret. Logically, I understand they’re skilled and willing to do whatever it takes for her.

I also know that it’s an impossibility for anyone to protect her at the level that I’m willing to. That sort of devotion isn’t built out of blood. It’s made from the deepest part of my soul, crafted exclusively for her.

“God,” she whimpers. “Having a boyfriend is so cool.”

Freezing between her legs, I flick my eyes up to hers. “Fix that sentence, Krasotka.”

She flushes even more pink. “Having you as my boyfriend is so cool.”

“Much better,” I praise, hovering my mouth above her clit. “Lay back for me, love. I need another taste.”

“Oh. My. God.”

Did she think I could just have her once?

Silly girl.

By the third time that she comes on my tongue, her arms and legs are so limp that I refuse to take her back to her room. She’ll sleep in my bed, and I’ll get her back before anyone can notice. I’ll get less sleep if it means having her in my arms for as long as I can. Now I’m tempted to see how often I can have her here.

Just. Like. This.

Chapter 24

Jade

Alawn party is something I thought rich ladies threw to drink tea and gossip. But this is something else entirely.

The courtyard isn’t as cool as the one by the ruins, but I kind of like that the party isn’t there. That place feels special—like it’s mine and Dmitri’s. This is like a beach party just north of the beach, definitely not fitting for the old, ethereal feel of the ruins.

This place is closer to the beach, giving the whole party an ocean and black sand beach backdrop. It’s way too chilly today to get into the water, but thankfully it doesn’t look like anyone is drunk enough to jump in any time soon. It seems like half of the student body is here, and half of them have some kind of alcohol in their hands.

Tobacco, wine, and beer are all permitted on the academy grounds, but I’m not sure how much of this was brought here over on the ship. I bet Dmitri would know.
