Page 36 of Echoes of Eternity

Unable to take the teasing, I grab his cock and he hisses. Redirecting where I wanted it to go, I groaned in both pleasure and pain when the head of his cock breaches me, threatening to split me in two.

“I loved watching you prepare yourself for me. But Mae, let me warn you, I won't be able to stop, not now,” he growls against my shoulder blades.

“Maybe I don’t want you to stop,” I panted, wanting to push him to fulfill his promise.

And he did not disappoint.

With a hard thrust, he buried himself inside of me to the hilt and began a brutal pace that threatened to knock the air out of my lungs despite the softness of the sheets.

My hair bounced and occluded my vision as he growled and snarled, his hips brutalizing my womb until my body fully submitted to his invasion.

I yelped when his strong arms twisted me with his cock still buried inside of me, placing me on top of him to ride.

Lost in my carnal hunger that took over all my senses, I planted my hands on his chest and began to grind myself against him in all the nasty, selfish ways I had been craving since his initial tease. The ridgesof his cock scraped against my flesh deliciously as my pleasure climbed to a height that frightened me. His grip on my hips tightened as my pussy fluttered around him, close to the edge. Right before I was about to get to the finish, he flipped us again, landing on top of me, forcing my knees to my shoulders as he pushed me over the edge with his savage thrusts.

I cried in ecstasy as he continued his pace until he reached his own finish with a snarl, filling my womb.

My cheeks were wet with tears by the time his body fell on top of mine while we both attempted to catch our breaths in this weird dreamscape.

As dawn broke, my mind slowly returned to my previous night’s thoughts about trying to understand what was happening and why.

My body ached like I had run a marathon, and when I tried to turn over, I realized…

…there was a large body draped over me with blood-red wings.

I shot upright with a scream,scrambling and tumbling out of bed with a loud thud, sheets tangling around me. Panic surged through me when I realized I was completely naked, making me scream. I yanked the sheets tighter around myself and backed up against the far wall, my eyes fixed on the non-human figure in my bed.

He groaned, slowly stirring awake, and my heart raced, the remnants of my chaotic dreams slipping away like sand through my fingers, only to crash back like a monsoon storm. The confusion and fear swirled within me, blending with disbelief at the sight before me.

The figure stretched languidly, his avian features softening in the dim light. Noboru. The name echoed in my mind like a haunting refrain. I blinked, half convinced I was still dreaming. But no, the warmth of my cheeks and the chill of the wall behind me were all too real.

“Mae,” he murmured, his voice smooth and rich like the silk sheets were fucking on in my dreams, yet edged with something primal. “At last, we meet in this realm.”

I squeezed the sheets tighter around me, my nipples hard from the cool air in the room, my heart pounding in a rhythm that matched the panic rising in my chest. “What are you? What are you doing here?” I stammered, trying to keep my voice steady. “You shouldn’t be in my—my room!”

My gaze darted to the doors and windows trying to find any signs of his break-in but there weren’t any to be found, leaving me more confused than I already was.

He tilted his head, those intense eyes locking onto mine, studying me as if I were a puzzle he was determined to solve. My lips trembled at the fact that he actually has a beak—a beak! He rustled his wings and stretched them out behind him in all their glory, mesmerizing me for a second. I shook my head to keep focus.

“I’ve come for you, as I always have. For centuries, I’ve been too late, missing you each time. But when your soul called out to me, I finally traced its signal to this place and time.”

I pulled the sheet to my chin. “What are you saying?! That you pinged my GPS location?”

I frantically ran my hands over my body, searching for any sign of an implantation device—a bump, a scar, anything that would explain this madness. What did he mean he traced me?

I squeaked in horror, realizing I had let go of thesheet, leaving me standing completely naked before this stranger, as exposed as the day I was born. I crossed my arms over my body, trying to save what dignity I had left.

He tilted his head as he brought himself to sit on the edge of the bed.

“Stop looking at me like that!” I echoed, disbelief flooding my veins. “You’re a deity! A bird-man! This is insane!”

A faint, almost amused smile played on his lips. “I will never stop searching for you, Mae, nor will I ever stop looking at you. Do you have any idea how many eons I’ve envisioned this moment?” He stood, and my gaze instinctively traced every detail of him. When they landed between his legs, heat rose to my cheeks at the massive thing dangling there. His deep voice snapped me out of my temporary distraction. “Insane? Perhaps. But after enduring the punishments the gods dealt me, there’s nothing I wouldn’t face just to hold you in my arms again.”

A strange mix of confusion and curiosity bubbled inside me. His words, though unsettling, were laced with a sincerity that tugged at something deep within. “You can’t just drop something like that on me,” I stammered, backing up a little but feeling less afraid. “What do you mean, hold me again? You make it sound like we’ve done this before.”

He stepped closer, the intensity of his gaze unwavering. “In countless lifetimes, we’ve been connected, Mae. Each time, something has torn us apart. But this time, I won’t let it happen again.” His voice was soft yet firm,resonating with an ancient weight that left me both intrigued and terrified. “You’re beautiful when you’re claiming me…”
