Page 162 of XOXO

He groaned his agreement before slowly pulling out of her. She scrabbled at him, trying to get him back inside, her protest stuck in her throat. When he thrust back in—with so much force her teeth clattered—she screamed at the top of her lungs. She didn’t care if she hurt his ears because she came so hard, she was sure she went blind.

Blinking, realizing she'd only accidentally closed her eyes, she rocked on his cock for more. "Please, Max."

The feral sound that left him didn't scare her at all. It only ratcheted up her lust to death-defying levels. He didn't hold back, his hips rutting into her, shoving her up the bed until he had to put his hand on the top of her her head so she didn't bang into his headboard.

Cassandra cried out with each thrust, her eyelids fluttering as a second orgasm began building while he grunted his pleasure against her hair.

"So good, Cass."

She barely understood the guttural words, clinging to him as he fucked her, her hands weaving into his locs and holding on for dear life. With one hard, final thrust, he roared to the ceiling as he came, his cock throbbing inside her and triggering her own mind-melting orgasm. Her scream was silent, her lips parted, but no sound was released while she felt pulse after pulse of his searing cum fill her.

She didn't know how long it took her to come back to her body, but he was looking down at her, his gaze filled with love and tenderness.

"You're marrying me next week," he huffed, his breathing as choppy and uneven as hers. She was proud of her body for handling that much male and thriving through it.

"I already said yes," she giggled, kissing his soft lips gently.

"No backing out now." He sighed happily, grinning as he nipped her throat with his fangs. "You're going to be my queen."

Biting her lip, she nodded, slowly running her hands over his back. "Do you think I'll be any good?"

He snorted out a laugh. "You've been doing amazing so far. You realize that we've been making most of our decisions together? Our daily tea-time is the most important meeting of my day. I've been consulting my queen on every choice that has to be made."

Her eyes were wide as she stared up at him, her mind boggled. "But–"

"It'll be easier now that you'll be by my side." He happily ran his tusks over her shoulder, nipping the skin there, too. "We'll even out the cabinet. Ensure that there's more than just male ogres in there. For some reason, even with my parents involved, they weren't able to drag this place out of the old ways. We will." He ran his palm down her side. "Our population is diverse and we should be, too." He swiped his tongue along her skin. "Deliciously diverse like their queen."

"Max." She wasn't able to get past his name when her throat was clogged with tears. "Are you serious?"

He nodded, nuzzling her breasts. "Of course I am. You know I want to change things around here."

"With me?" She bit her lip, cupping his face and in her hands. He'd been showing her for months how he felt about her. He'd even told her, but in this moment, when her entire life was changing she needed to hear him say it out loud again. Needed the validation so she knew she wasn't dreaming this entire thing.

"I'd never want anyone else by my side. It took us a while–" He beamed at her. "–but we finally got it right. On Hearts Day of all days. It must be a sign"

Cassandra couldn't stop the grin from spreading across her face if she wanted to. "Definitely a sign." She leaned forward, pressing her lips to his. "I love you, Max."

"And I love you, my Cass."
