“Then what are you waiting for?” I breathed the words, my whole body on fire with need for him.
With my permission he lined his cock up with my entrance and thrust inside me. I cried out. His hand clamped down over my mouth. “Unless you want to cut this short, we can’t be discovered.”
I nodded, biting my lip to stifle my moans as Thorn began to move within me. The bond between us intensified every sensation, pleasure rippling through our joined bodies in waves.His rhythm was slow and deliberate at first, savoring each thrust as if memorizing the feel of me as he stretched me to perfectly fit his cock.
But our shared need quickly grew too urgent to deny. Thorn's pace increased, driving into me with barely restrained passion. I wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling him deeper. Our eyes locked, and I saw my own desperate desire reflected in his gaze.
"Mine," he growled softly, his voice rough with emotion. "Always mine."
"Yours," I whispered back. "Body and soul."
The bond flared brighter, and suddenly I could feel everything Thorn was experiencing—the tight heat of my body around him, the building pressure of his approaching release. It was almost too much to bear.
I clutched at his shoulders, nails digging into his skin as I fought to stay quiet. As though he knew that I couldn’t keep quiet he withdrew from me and flipped me onto my stomach before reaching under my hips and pulling my ass up to meet him.
With the pillow now able to absorb some of the sound I was able to let loose as Thorn buried his cock in me from behind.
He filled me in a completely new way, one that made me feel a frenzy of desire. Not just for release, but for him to mark me, to truely claim me as his in a way that no one could deny.
I knew he must have been able to feel that desire because he bent over me until his chest pressed against my back and his lips brushed my neck, his breath coming in ragged gasps against my skin.
"Is this what you want?" Thorn growled, his teeth grazing my earlobe. "To be claimed by me, marked as mine for all to see?"
I could only whimper in response, overwhelmed by the sensations coursing through our bond. His desire, hispossessiveness, his love—all of it crashed over me in waves, threatening to drown me in their intensity.
Thorn's hand snaked around to cup my breast, his fingers teasing and rolling my nipple as he continued to thrust deep inside me. "Answer me," he demanded, his voice rough with need, each word punctuated with a hard thrust that made my thoughts scatter.
"Yes," I gasped out, pushing back against him. "Please, Thorn. Make me yours completely."
With a low growl, he sank his teeth into the muscle between my neck and my shoulder, right on my moon mark. The sharp pain mingled with pleasure, and I cried out into the pillow, my inner walls clenching around him.
That wasn’t enough for him though and the hand that had been playing with my nippled slid down my belly and between my thighs, finding my clit and circling it until I was bucking against him, the small release I’d had from him marking me was nothing compare to what was coming next.
The pressure built rapidly, a crescendo of sensation that had me trembling beneath him. Thorn's fingers worked relentlessly, his cock driving into me with a primal intensity that matched the fervor of our bond. I could feel his own release approaching, his rhythm becoming erratic as he chased his pleasure.
For a moment he slowed as he spoke, “You will always be mine, Senara. Do you understand that? Mine. Until the earth crumbles to dust and there are no stars left in the sky. Mine until the oceans have dried up and we are nothing but ash on the wind.” His words weren’t a command, but they were my undoing anyway. As soon as he was done speaking his pace doubled.
The bond between us flared white-hot, and suddenly I couldn't tell where I ended and Thorn began. We were one being, joined in body and soul, racing toward completion together.
Thorn's thrusts became erratic, his breathing harsh against my skin. I could feel the tension coiling in his body, mirroring the tightening in my own core.
With a muffled scream, I shattered, waves of ecstasy crashing over me. My entire body convulsed, clenching around him as stars exploded behind my eyelids. Thorn followed me over the edge with a guttural moan, his hips jerking as he spilled himself deep inside me.
For several long moments, we remained frozen, panting and trembling in the aftermath. Slowly, Thorn released his grip on my hip, but his cock remained where it was, and I could feel through the bond that he wasn’t quite ready for us to be two separate beings again just yet, and I agreed. We sagged against the bed as his hand slid up caressing my side with a gentleness that contrasted sharply with the intensity of our coupling. He pressed soft kisses along my shoulder and neck, soothing the mark he'd left.
"Mine," he murmured again, pressing a soft kiss to the mark he'd left on my neck. "Now and always."
I turned in his arms, meeting his gaze with a sleepy one of my own. "As you are mine," I replied, sealing the promise with a tender kiss.
We lay tangled in each other's arms, basking in the afterglow of our lovemaking and the newfound depth of our connection for a long time. When we finally broke apart, still breathless and flushed, I noticed a subtle change in the air around us. The colors of the forest seemed more vibrant, the scents sharper, and I could swear I heard the faintest whisper of music on the breeze.
Thorn must have sensed it too, for his eyes widened in wonder. "Do you feel that?" he asked, his voice hushed with awe.
I nodded, unable to find the words to describe the magical shift in our surroundings. It was as if the very essence of theforest was responding to our strengthened bond, welcoming us into a deeper connection with the natural world.
Finally, Thorn withdrew from me, and left me feeling empty as he rolled to his side and off the bed. He stood, pulling me gently to my feet. "I think," he said with a smile, "that we've just taken our first step into a much larger world. The Elven High Lord can wait a little longer. There's something I want to show you."
Hand in hand, we ventured deeper into the forest, our steps light and our hearts full. As we walked, I couldn't help but feel that this was just the beginning of an incredible journey – one that we would face together, bound not just by magic, but by love and choice.
