“Yes, ma’am.” He smiled and stood in front of me.

“Take it off.” I waved to his clothes. Cassius smiled at me as he slipped from his boots. Slowly, he unbuttoned his shirt and slid it off his muscled body. My eyes immediately dropped to the crown tattoo before looking over the red viper going up his arm. I could feel him looking at me as I watched him undress.

“We’ve fucked in a lot of places, Thea, but we’ve never done it inourenemy’s home.”

My eyes glanced up at him. Gods, he looked like I was his prey.

“What would they do if they walked in here and saw you bent over the bed moaning my name?”

“Kill me,” I answered his rhetorical question. His lips twitched slightly.

“Are you really worried about anyone catching us?”

He stepped forward and traced the ‘C’ tattooed over my heart. I shook my head no as my eyes found the ‘T’ above his heart. Cassius and Thea. It had a viper coiled tightly around it. Little viper. His finger lowered, circling my breasts. Goosebumps gave away what his light touch did to me. Cassius stepped forward, his hand tangling in my hair so he could drag my mouth up to his.

Cassius was not gentle. His mouth dominated mine, his tongue dancing with mine as his other hand slid down to find me wet.

“You always were ready for me, Thea,” he sighed. I leaned forward and kissed his neck. My mind was flashing with an image of him dying. I flinched, but he let out a soft moan and leaned back so I had better access, making the image disappear. My hand wrapped around his hard length, and I smiled when he flexed his hips.

“Seems you are always ready for me too.” I smiled before kissing over where I could feel his heart beating. Cassiusstilled at the touch before yanking me back up to his mouth. Cassius pulled away from me, spinning me so I was facing the bed, and pushed me down, so I was on all fours. His hands rubbed over my naked back before grabbing handfuls of my ass.

I could hear my heavy breathing in the room, but nothing else as Cassius slid into me quickly.

I moaned before he yanked me up, so my back was flesh with his chest. His hand wrapped around my jaw as his mouth brushed my ear.

“Be quiet,” he demanded.

“That is going to be impossible,” I sighed as he thrust up into me again. Cassius sighed heavily into my ear as he picked up his pace. My eyes squeezed shut, trying my hardest to be quiet. My head shook back and forth as his hips pounded into me. There was no way I was going to cum quietly. His tattooed hand covered my mouth.

“Fuck, I need to hear you,” he groaned as his shadows swarmed around us. My skin prickled when the cool air hit me. I opened my eyes to see we were in a meadow, the bed gone.

“Cassius,” I moaned. “Don’t stop.”

“That’s it, Thea. Tell me what you want.” He shoved me back down on all fours, his hands grabbing my hips tightlyand slamming me back against him. His fingers flexed so tightly into my flesh that I knew it would bruise.

“Oh fuck.”

“You’re about to cum, aren’t you?” he ground out. I moved my hips back to meet his thrusts. “Such a greedy fucking girl. Always wanting more.”

I moaned into the dark night.

“Cassius, please,” I begged.

Cassius’ thrusts became more erratic behind me, his breathing heavy and uncontrolled. Without warning, he flipped me, so I was on my back under him.

“I want to see you,” he muttered. His eyes, black as night, stared at me hauntingly. His shadows swarmed around him. He looked like he did the first time I fought him on the battlefield. My mouth opened, but nothing came out as my orgasm teetered on the edge of release.

“I love seeing you like this. You look at me like I am all you need.” He slammed into me.

“You are all I need,” I moaned.

Cassius lost it. He slammed into me as his orgasm overtook him. He thrust into me deeply, making my own orgasm follow. I held him to me as he softly groaned into my neck. He kissed me as his shadows swarmed around us. A moment later, we were lying in my bed in Cerithia. Cassius frowned slightly as he stood up.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

“I should go,” he whispered as he looked for his clothing.

“You could stay.”
