Sliding out of his grip, I drop to my knees and take his cock into my hands. I have wanted to taste him for so long, and as I stroke his length to get him hard and ready for me, my mouth salivates. As my tongue flicks out to taste him, Finnik groans, sliding his hands into my hair. His salty taste settles on my taste buds, and I know I need more.
I have a sudden realisation. I am a vampire, and I have fangs. There is no proper way to give a blowjob without cutting him, and no male is going to want to risk his favourite body part. He must see the devastation on my face, because he reaches down and lifts my face to meet his gaze.
“Do not worry about hurting me.”
“But I will probably cut you.”
“It is okay, just do not bite me.” He grins and winks, but I am still not convinced. “Pain does not scare me, Thea.”
I see the arousal in his eyes, brighter than it was before. The thought that he could get hurt is turning him on. He likes pain. Not needing any further instruction, I shuffle closer. His cock is longer and thinner than the others, so this might work. Opening my mouth, I carefully slide onto his length, hollowing out my cheeks to create suction. I love the way I feel him hardening and shifting, and I quickly figure out what he likes. I grip the base of him tightly, twisting and squeezing to the rhythm of my mouth. He jerks as I accidently graze him with my teeth—not enough to cause injury, but sharp enough to remind him that my fangs are razor sharp.
His hand lands on my shoulder and stops my movements. “Thea, stop, or I am going to come in your mouth.” Pulling back, I look up at him through my eyelashes. “As much as I would enjoy that, I need to make you mine.”
He helps me to my feet and presses me against the stable wall once more. There is a feral look in his eyes again, and it sets my insides alight. I need him right now.
“Yes, make me yours, Fin.”
His hand cups me, his thumb instantly finding my clit and rubbing it in rough circles. His fingers slide down and find my entrance, and he pushes a thick, calloused finger inside me. Groaning, I bite down on his shoulder to stop me from shouting out loud. This sets Finnik on fire, and he growls as he adds two more fingers. It is rough, the stretch burning as he keeps pushing in and out of me, not giving me time to adjust. It is the rush of two mates about to bond for the first time, and it is so fucking hot.
My nails dig into his back as I release his shoulder and take his mouth, kissing him roughly. The angle is awkward between us, because I struggle to stay upright as his fingers furiously pump inside me, and with a frustrated growl, he pulls his hand away, grabs my ass, and lifts me, pinning me against the wall as my legs wrap around his waist. I am open to him, and he thrusts his fingers back into me. I do not hold back my yell this time.
His fingers suddenly disappear, and I feel his hand moving just before the hot press of his cock is at my entrance. He slides his long cock into me as I moan against him. He keeps going until he is fully sheathed in my pussy, and it feels like his dick is pinning me to the wall more than anything else. He feels incredible. Slowly, he begins to move, his eyes scanning my face to make sure I am okay before upping the speed and force of his strokes.
All I can think about is Finnik, the rest of my troubles falling away as we sink into the rhythm created by our bodies and our love for one another. His touch, taste, and smell surround me, encompassing me completely. There is a light inside me, one that grows with each thrust, and the closer we come to completing our bond, the brighter it becomes. Possibilities wait for us on the other side, I can feel them, and I know there is so much more happening now than just two mates forming their bond.
Finnik is close to coming, but he does not want to until I reach my climax first. I am so close now to finishing, but I just need a little bit… Just as I think it, Finnik presses a finger to my clit, changing the pressure between fast and slow.
“I love you,” he whispers against my lips, and that is all I need to fall over the edge.
As soon as I clench around him, he finally loses the battle and lets himself finish, his cock expanding and then pulsing as he comes inside me, burying himself as deeply as possible. My orgasm hits me, shattering my mind as pleasure moves through me. A bright light appears in my vision, growing until nothing is visible and I am completely bathed in light. I have never experienced anything like this before, and as the mate bond finally settles in place, something shifts inside me. I feel like I am lifted from my body as my mind expands and I am moved to another realm.
Complete.
The word rings through me, settling the restless part of me that always felt as though she was not doing enough. Complete. My part of the prophecy is now complete. Bonding with Eli and Finnik sealed the deal. My challenge was dealing with Havoc, and now that I have completed mate bonds, I can become a bride and save my people. Everything becomes very clear to me in this moment. I had to suffer and survive to prove myself. Clarity washes through me without a single drop of doubt. The power that lingered in my body had a purpose—I am the cure to the curse affecting the vampires. It is in my blood.
Armed with this new knowledge, I return to my body, pleasure still coursing through me as Finnik finishes emptying himself inside me. No time has passed while I was having my epiphany, and as I blink and come out of my pleasure-induced thoughts, I find Finnik grinning at me. He has an arm above me and a look of adoration in his eyes.
Reaching out with his free hand, he caresses my cheek. “Mate.”
“Mate,” I say with my own smile, wishing we had more time together to enjoy this moment.
I cannot hold back my excitement any longer, not when I have such important news to share with him. “I am sorry to ruin the moment, but we did it. I have completed my part of the prophecy. Our bond unlocked everything within me.” My words are fast and jumbled together, but from the surprise in his eyes, I know he understands me. Taking his hand in mine, I squeeze it hard. “Fin, I know how to cure my people.”
Chapter Twenty-Eight
Following the aching pull in my chest, I direct our stolen horse towards Eli, who is waiting for me. If it was not for the bond, I do not know how we would find each other. Trador is a large kingdom, after all.
After Finnik and I completed our bond, and I realised what my purpose truly was, I knew we needed to find Felix and Eli, not to mention my father who was attacked during the ambush that led to me being kidnapped. Thankfully, as soon as we left the abandoned stables, I was able to feel Eli again. There was some sort of magical shield blocking the bonds, only allowing me to feel the connections of my mates who were actually inside the shield.
The two of us were able to sprint to the nearest farm and steal a horse. Unfortunately, we lost a lot of time, as the borderlands have been drained of life for a long time now, causing the ground to be poor for farmers.
Now, we are on the back of a galloping horse, Finnik’s arm wrapped tightly around me, allowing me to act as our compass. My mind is focused on getting to them and making sure everyone is safe. They are my top priority, and then we shall plan how to help the vampires. Returning to the main city where my king resides is still a priority, and once I have explained everything to him, we can begin the process of figuring out how to heal everyone.
Out of the gloom of the night, I see the silhouette of a building—an inn. The two-story building has a thatched roof, and had it not looked as though it needed some love, it would be charming. Where roses once grew up the walls, weeds now replace them, and the windows are thick with dirt. Two guards are stationed outside, keeping a wary lookout.
We must have reached the main road, as no one would dare to run a business such as this in a secluded area. There are only a handful of places you can stop between Drathlor City and the capital city in Trador. Once upon a time, it used to be safe to travel all the back roads and businesses bloomed, but unfortunately, those times are now long gone.
I am not particularly keen to stay here or even step foot inside, however, Eli is inside, and that overrides all else. As we approach, a stable boy hurries outside, guessing that we will be stopping. We climb from the horse and pass a coin to the stable boy. I take Finnik’s hand, intertwining our fingers before hurrying towards the entrance of the inn. The two vampire guards watch us with twin glares, silently assessing us.
