Page 73 of Promised in Blood

She whimpers at my praise, her walls fluttering around my cock as I bring her closer to the edge. “What if I can’t?”

“Then we will keep practicing until you do.”

She wraps her arms around me, clinging to me like I am the only thing tethering her to this earth.

I rest my lips on the top of her head. “Are you ready, agápi mou?”

Her pussy squeezes my cock in a death grip. “Y- yes.”

“Then come for me, Ophelia.” I pull her down onto me and sink my teeth into her neck. Her orgasm implodes inside her core with the force of a neutron bomb. She screams my name, and like a chain reaction, that sets off my own release. The force of both our climaxes renders me immobile for several long moments. Her taste floods my being, and the smell of her surrounds me. A series of moans soothes all the fractured slivers of my soul.

Her body is molded to mine as she comes down from the aftermath of her orgasm, every inch of her shaking. I glance around the room and note the lack of damage. Whilst my entire world just rocked on its axis, she did not in fact make the walls or the ground shake. There is no sign of rain in the cloudless night sky, and my breathing is fine, albeit labored from my exertions.

You did it, little one.I speak through our bond to save my much-needed breath.

I did?She burrows her face deeper into my neck, and I rub a soothing hand over her back.

Yes. Would you like me to take you home now?

No more lessons?

Not tonight.

Will you stay with me?

I press a gentle kiss to her temple.Always.

I mean?—

I know what you mean, and yes, I will stay with you tonight.

Did Ophelia just…?Did you make her come?Is the curse lifted?The voices of all three of my boys come at once.

Yes. She was incredible.

We need to celebrate, Malachi says, and both Axl and Xavier voice their agreement.

They begin to make plans for how they might do that, and I listen for a moment, allowing their elation to sit in my consciousness before I block them out once more.

She smiles against my skin.I really did it?

Take a look around and see for yourself.

Gingerly, she lifts her head and scans the room. A slow, triumphant smile spreads across her face. She still has no idea how truly powerful she is, and a part of me is honored that I get to be the man to show her. But the rest of me… that part is terrified to have such responsibility sitting upon my shoulders.

I dressed a still-tremblingOphelia and carried her home to my bed after her lesson was done. Now she lies contentedly besideme, her head nestled in the crook of my shoulder and her arm draped over my chest.

“I can’t wait to tell the boys that I’m allowed to have orgasms again,” she says with a yawn.

“I think we should keep it to ourselves for now, Ophelia.”

“But why?” she asks quietly.

“In case your powers are not fully controllable yet. What you did was incredible, but we still need to exercise some caution.” The ease at which I lie to her concerns me, but I do not wish to spoil the boys’ plan to mark the occasion. “Just for a day or two,” I offer as reassurance when sadness clouds her thoughts.

That seems to satisfy her, and she sighs contentedly.

I trail my fingertips along her spine and suppress a satisfied smile when her resulting shudder presses the soft curves of her body farther into mine. “I know that I have been hard on you.”
