‘She would taste so much better, you will never taste a fruit so sweet as your fate,’my wolf whispered to me.‘Why not give in, Ayden? Give into the bond forged by The Fates themselves. Taste the truth of what you most desire.’

I shook my head. “She’d never take me.”

‘How do you know if you don’t at least try?’

The thought was tempting, but I knew better. The most I would ever have would be those stolen moments of closeness and the vision created by my own mind.

I closed my eyes again and leaned back against a tree, my hand palming at the bulge of my jeans.

I pictured the way she looked bent over, her back arched as she supported her weight with her hands and knees. I created an image from there. Her face turned to look back at me, cheeks flushed with a heat as great as the one boiling in my veins.

I could almost hear her moaning pleas to help. Her voice heavy with desire and begging me to help ease the burn with my touch.

In my mind’s eye, I reached out and ran my hand over her hips. My hand rubbed over each cheek, giving her a playful pinch as I wrapped my hand around my shaft and slowly rubbed the hardened appendage.

“You deserve to be punished, you know,” I said, her blue eyes widening as she looked back at me. “Always trying to push everyone around. Someone needs to put you in your place.”

She moaned as my hand came down with a smack against her ass, my fingers quickly rubbing away the sting of the swat.

“That’s a good girl,” I whispered, my cock growing harder as she pressed her ass against my hand.

I smacked her again, squeezing the cheek before reaching around her to find the buttons of her jeans. I quickly undid the button there and pulled down her zipper. The tight fabric fought to come off, the sound of ripping fabric accompanying the sound of her gasping at the sudden cool air against her burning skin.

My hand ran along the bare skin, my other still gripping my cock as I ran my thumb over the head to collect the drop of pre-cum there.

I groaned as the images danced through my mind, my mouth watering at the imagery the wolf helped fuel.

‘This is only half as good as it could be,’he said in a whisper at the back of my mind.‘All you have to do is accept the bond.’

I pushed away the sound of his voice, my hand tightening around my throbbing cock as more images came to my mind.

Sasha lay on her back beneath me. Her breasts glistening with diamond-like sweat as she looked up at me with hooded eyes.

“Please, Ayden. I need you,” she breathed, her hands reaching up towards me.

I leaned down over her and pressed my lips to hers. That delicious taste of pomegranates and honey coated my tongue once again, and I moaned against her mouth.

My hands ran along the curve of her body, moving their way back up to her breasts as my hips thrusted against her. She parted her legs to me, my cock running up along the slit between her thighs, slick and hot against my skin.

I moaned again at the feel, wanting nothing more than to sink myself deep inside her. I quickly realized that it had been something I had always wanted to do. Even before I understood the desire.

She was the forbidden fruit in the paradise that was the school of magic. Something that I could never have, not without dire consequences. Consequences that made her all the more desirable. All the sweeter.

‘You could have her,’my wolf’s voice came again in my mind.‘She is no longer forbidden fruit, Ayden. She is yours. The Fates have made her so.’

I licked my lips at the image of her, her smile soft and eyes hooded with pleasure as my cock rubbed up against her clit. I pinched her nipple between my finger and thumb, my thoughts wandering to what they might taste like.

Would they taste of honey? Or would they taste of pomegranates? My curiosity won me over as I leaned down and took one of the hardened peaks in my mouth.

She moaned as my tongue flicked the sensitive bud, her back arching against the ground as she rubbed her body closer against mine.

I could feel myself coming closer to the edge, my cock growing harder against her as she moved with my thrusts.

“Please, Ayden,” she moaned. “I need you. I need you now.”

“Sasha,” I moaned out loud as the pressure grew too much to bear.

I growled against her breast, nipping at the soft skin as I rubbed the head of my cock against her opening. It was all too tempting. All too much for me to even imagine.
