Page 29 of The Bonds of Nyx

“Elias, please, I need to come,” I whimpered, my entire body vibrating with the building pressure in my core.

Elias brought his mouth to my neck and peppered kisses to the skin beneath my ear. “Come now, Angel. Come on my cock and milk me of everything I have.” Sharp teeth scraped my throat, gliding down to my shoulder, before plunging into my flesh.

His bite triggered something within me. A cry left my lips, one of pain that morphed quickly into pleasure. My climax rushed through me with a force as the mate bond snapped into place.

Elias’s thrusts turned uneven as he pulled his teeth from my shoulder and growled with his finish, cock pulsing and hot cum filling me. The bite stung, but only briefly as my magic simmered and returned to its slumber, finally appeased in the completed bond. There was no way to tell where I started, and he ended. He filled me in an all-consuming way, one I never knew I needed—and yet recognised I couldn’t live without.

“Oh, fuck,” I muttered, resting my head back against Elias’s chest. It rose and fell with hard breaths. With the binding of our souls, the haze of lust cleared, and I was brought back to reality.

A reality filled with sticky thighs, shredded pants, and no protection.

My eyes popped open, and I released a shaky breath. “I’m not on birth control right now, Elias. And we just—”

He stiffened, but his arms tightened around me instead. “I have every intention of putting a child in you, Ivy,” he growled, nipping my earlobe. “But you’ll be fine for now. If you’re really worried, see Marion about it.”

It was my turn to stiffen. “Marion?”

I could almost feel his smirk against my neck. “The healer caring for your mother. She’ll help you.” He nuzzled the crook of my neck and grunted. “But for tonight, you’re mine, and I’m not done with you yet.”

Maybe that shouldn’t have made me so happy. But I couldn’t help the giddiness filling my belly or the smile that curved my lips.

You’re mine now, Angel, his voice whispered in my head.

My eyes widened, and I turned my head to take him in. He looked pleased as hell, and by the way his cock twitched inside me—ready for another round.

“Did—did I just hear you inside my head?” I asked warily. The only time I’d heard a voice inside my head had been…

Elias pressed his lips against mine. “Yes. A perk of the mate bond, one that will protect you.”

“So, you have full access to my thoughts, then?”

He shook his head, kissing me gently again. “No. You’ll be able to control it with time. For now, though, there are other things I’d rather do than talk.”

I missed his warmth immediately as he pulled out and felt the remnants of his release drip down my thighs. There was something primal about his cum leaking down my legs, but also pretty uncomfortable.

“You look so perfect dripping with my seed,” he growled, palming my ass, and giving it a gentle squeeze. “You have no idea what it does to me—and the wolf.”

A shiver raced down my spine. I turned to face Elias as he tugged his jeans up, encasing his still hard cock behind the denim.

Oh, what it would be like to take him in my mouth, I thought, biting my lip as he smirked down at me.

“You can most certainly do that, Angel. I won’t stop you.”

My cheeks warmed as our eyes met. “I thought that a little too loud, didn’t I?”

Elias chuckled. He seemed much…lighter. Who knew a good fuck would change his mood?

“Only you can do this to me,” he murmured, catching a strand of my hair between his fingers. “And now—” Before I could say another word, Elias swung me into his arms bridal-style. “For the rest of the night, you’re mine. By the end of it, you’ll be full of my seed, and you’ll be so sore you’ll never want to leave my bed.”

I giggled like a love-sick schoolgirl as he carried me back towards the safe house. Snuggled in his arms, I relished in the safety and calmness running through me. My magic was settled, just a gentle thrum in my veins. For the first time since I’d learnt about any of this, I felt…at peace in my flesh.

I’ll see you soon, my little flower, whispered the voice I’d heard from the attack. My heart stuttered as I looked up to see if Elias had heard it, too.

But all he did was smile down at me with a softness I’d never seen on him before, one that made my heart swell with so much emotion I could hardly contain it.

I would discuss it with him later. Tonight, I would simply enjoy my mate.
