Page 48 of Promised in Blood

“C-concealed,” she cries, pressing her head back against the chair.

With my mouth too busy tasting her to speak, I switch to our bond.Read your book, baby.

“O-okay,” she whines.

I lap up her sweet juices before slipping my tongue inside her. Her arousal floods my tastebuds. Fuck, I want to eat her whole.When was the Order founded?

“S-sixty-seven BC,” she gasps.

I flick my tongue piercing over the swollen bud of her clit.Good girl.

She presses her thighs flat to my head, but I push them apart again, needing more room to tease her. “K-Kai.”

And why was the Order established?I continue feasting on her delicious pussy and ignore the desperate ache in my cock because I have no hope of fucking her and not letting her come. I’m too weak to hold back when my cock is inside her.

To protect the knowledge of magic.She sucks in a breath.And to observe.

My clever girl too. I graze my teeth over her sensitive flesh, and her hips almost shoot off the chair, making me chuckle against her skin. I go on teasing her, never giving her enough to get close to the edge, all the while keeping a careful check on her heart rate and the blood pumping through her body. If she comes in the faculty library and alerts anyone to her power, Alexandros will surely take my head.

And what do magical beings get in return for devoting their life to the Order?

She doesn’t answer, but I hear her flicking through the pages of the book.

Ophelia?

“I’m l-looking.” She rifles the pages more frantically.

I swirl my tongue over her pulsing clit.You have ten seconds before I stop.

She groans with frustration, and I count down in my head.

“Your counting is distracting,” she moans.

Aw, pity. Four. Three. Two.

“Just give me?—”

One. I push myself back and immediately miss the taste of her in my mouth. She glares at me, blue eyes dark with desire as she pants for breath. I swipe my hand over my jaw, cleaning her juices from my chin.

“That wasn’t fair.”

“I told you ten seconds.” I tilt my head and smirk. “And I’m still waiting on that answer.”

Her eyes narrow, but the corners of her mouth twitch. She grabs her skirt and goes to pull it down, but I snatch her wrist and shake my head. “Nuh-uh. I still want to look at what’s mine while I wait for my answer.”

“Ass,” she mutters, but she goes back to the book. Her eyes scan over the text, and mine dart between her face and her glistening pussy. “Those who joined the Order were granted immortality for their devotion.” She blows a strand of hair from her forehead and slams the book closed with a triumphant smile. “Now hand me my panties, fiend.”

I press my lips together and stare at her for a few more seconds before I take her panties from my pocket and help her put them back on. Before I get them all the way up, I press one last kiss on her swollen, pink flesh, and then I look into hersparkling eyes. “Just know that I want nothing more than to finish what I just started.”

“I know.” She lifts her hips, allowing me to fix her underwear back in place. Staying on my knees, I pull her to the edge of the chair and push myself between her thighs, spreading them wider to accommodate me. And then, before I continue our lesson, I kiss her. Long and hard and deep, pouring everything I am into her and wishing that I could give her so much more. Because she is everything I am, everything I ever was, and all I will ever be.

Xavier runs his fingers down the back of my neck, causing goosebumps to scatter along my forearms. What the fuck is wrong with him lately? He’s almostnice.I shudder at the very word and throw him a look. “You want to stop that?”
