I sent him ayesdown the bond, voice failing me, and closed my eyes as he melded his lips to mine. The kiss wasn’t soft or sweet, and there was nothing slow about it. Heat flooded through me as he kissed me with an urgency that swept me past the anxiety and into a land of pleasure. His tongue swept over my bottom lip and into my mouth, greedy and intoxicating, and I gave him entrance without a thought.

With his arms still wrapped around me, Adrian lowered me down onto the bed, pushing the duffel bag off as he did. The crash of the bag barely pulled me out of the moment, though anything short of an emergency would.

“I’ve been wanting to taste you again since we bonded, Sweetheart,” Adrian roughly said, causing me to shudder. Mypussy clenched at the promise in his words, and my eyes slipped shut.

The magic and I were too far gone, my desire too powerful to ignore. I wanted—no, needed—my mate. I needed his hands on my body, to feel the intimate connection between us born of this bond between us.

Adrian scraped his teeth over my bottom lip before feathering kisses down my chin, to the soft flesh behind my ear. A moan lodged in my throat as he followed the path of my throat down to my collarbone.

My breaths turned rapid, my gaze hazy, heart crashing against my ribs. “Adrian,” I breathed. “Please.”

He chuckled, hands skimming my thighs, so close to where I wanted to feel him. My mind went back to when he’d first fucked me with his mouth; his tongue circling my clit, fingers pumping into me, the power of the climax that washed over me.

Adrian kissed my throat again before taking my sweatshirt off with his magic. My nipples tightened against the cool air of the apartment, and my skin puckered under his intense gaze. I watched as his lips skimmed over my heavy breasts, down to the silvery pink of my stretch marks tattooing my skin.

“I’m going to make you come with my mouth,” he promised, darkened eyes finding mine. “And then I’m going to make you come on my cock. Think you can handle that, Sweetheart?”

I nodded, shivering as my jeans disappeared, leaving me in my wet panties. Adrian’s eyes drifted down my body before resting on my thighs. He didn’t take the panties off, though, and instead carried on his exploration of my body, trailing soft, open-mouthed kisses down my chest and over the rolls of my stomach, sliding down the bed until he was on his knees. The usual shyness I would feel was gone, locked away somewhere I couldn’t reach. I felt desired and wanted and so much more; it crashed into me like a storm, a tidal wave of unfiltered emotion.

Good,Adrian said through the bond, biting down gently on the inside of my thigh.I’m glad you’re finally feeling what I feel.

His eyes met mine, and I gently ran a hand through his now tousled hair. “My Prince Charming.”

His grin made my stomach tighten. I pressed my thighs together as he traced his thumb over my panties.

“You’re soaking wet,” he murmured, pressing his thumb a little harder against my clit. My thighs parted instinctively, allowing him better access to my throbbing pussy. “You want me to taste you, don’t you?”

I inhaled sharply and nodded. “Yes.”

“Good girl.” He grasped my hips and pulled me down the bed, hooking my knees over his shoulders until my pussy was in his face. Heat warmed my cheeks as he kissed the inside of my thigh.

The panties disappeared, leaving me bare to the chilly room and his mouth. Adrian glanced up, a wicked glint in his green eyes. “I can’t wait to hear you scream my name again.”

I gasped as his mouth descended on my core, tongue lapping at my arousal and teasing my entrance. A low groan fell from my lips. I arched into him, pushing my pussy into his perfect mouth, demanding more.

His tongue circled my throbbing clit, before pulling the nub into his mouth. I bit down on my bottom lip to contain my gasp. Blood roared in my ears, pressure building in the pit of my stomach. Adrian slipped a finger inside me, pumping it slowly in and out, adding another. The steady rhythm of his thrusts, paired with the exploration of his tongue, overwhelmed all my senses. There was a dull ringing in my ears as his voice filtered down the bond.

You taste so fucking good, Sweetheart,he said, pupils blown.I could stay down here for days.

Warmth flooded me as my hips rocked to each swipe of his tongue. I wasn’t sure if I could even form a coherent reply withmy climax building. Pressure continued to build, the wet sounds of my arousal wanton and dirty as it filled the air. But there was nothing messy about the way Adrian continued to eat me out, or how he fucked me thoroughly with his fingers.

My magic wanted to respond, wanted to give him his pleasure too. But he held me there, one arm clasped around my thigh, the other still dragging me closer to my finish.

I ran a hand through his hair and pushed his curls away from his forehead. He didn’t seem to be paying attention though, so wrapped up in my pleasure.

Are you going to finish on my face, Sweetheart?he asked, sucking my clit into his mouth and scraping his teeth over it. I gasped, the sensitivity overwhelming. Without answering, I came on another hard thrust of his fingers.

“Fuck,” I cried, arching into his mouth, pushing myself further into his mouth.

So good,he praised.Perfect. Come now, Ivy. Give me all of it.

My legs trembled as Adrian coached me silently through the climax, soft praises coming down our bond. My chest rose and fell with harsh breaths as Adrian kissed his way up my body, rising to hover over me. A wicked smile played at his lips, chin wet with my release. At the sight, my cheeks burned, and I gently swiped my thumb over his swollen bottom lip.

“How are you feeling?” Adrian asked.

I released a slow breath, his words a weight on my chest. My magic had gone quiet once again, but I didn’t feel spent or tired. There was a different kind of energy burning through me.

“I feel like I’ve been...re-energised,” I replied, shifting beneath him and locking a leg around his waist. His eyes widened slightly, pupils still blown, and I offered him a smile. “I certainly feel better than I did before.”
