Chapter Twenty-Eight

PAISLEY

Whatthe fuck just happened?

Ican feelLaithog’sthickness lodged deep within me, wiggling a bit.Itest if whatIthink is happening is actually happening.Thehiss we both let out tells me that, yes, his dick is locked in me.

There’san odd taste in my mouth.It’snot unpleasant, but it’s one thatIcan’t place.Reachingup,Iwipe my hand across my lips, frowning asIseeLaithogwince.Lookingat my hand,Isee traces of a viscous blue fluid.

Bluefluid that matches the rapidly healing cut on his lower chest.

Openingmy mouth, a scream on the precipice of escaping my throat,I’mcut off byLaithog’smouth sealing to mine.Mufflingthe shriek of horror,Iam about to let out.Hisplunging textured tongue tangles with mine, building that insidious heat low in my womb as he thoroughly distracts me from my distress.

Momentsgo by andLaithoggradually softens the kiss, soothing me in degrees.Witha final swipe of his tongue across my lips, he verbally reassures me. “Shhh, little flame.Thereis noneed to fear.Youneed never take my blood again.Itis only a requirement of our first joining.”

Myhead snaps up at that. “Whatdo you mean it is a requirement, and that’s awful fucking presumptuous of you to say “first joining’ like there will be another!”Iretort hotly, full of indignation.

Withoutwarning, he emits an audible sound, reminiscent of a cat’s purr but far deeper and with resonance to it.Itmakes my brain short circuit and my cunt clench simultaneously as lust blooms inside me instantly.Thesound soaks into my body, rendering me completely submissive to him.

Throughheavily lidded eyes,Iwatch as his mouth descends and takes one of my nipples in his mouth, his tongue lashing the overly sensitive peak, that sound still rumbling deep in his chest.Abandoningthe first nipple, his dark head moves to the other, treating it to the same treatment.Aclimax ripples through me as he works my nipples and grinds his thick member deeper within me.Helets my body down in increments, leaving my overly sensitive nipples alone.

Laithograises his head and pins me with a smug look.

“Okay, so you’ve made your point,”Ihuff out.

Leaningto the left, he puts all of his weight on that forearm, raising his right hand to tenderly scrape a lock of my red hair behind my ear. “Ihave known you for many months, little flame.You’veknown me for less than a day, and must learn about me.ThisIknow.However, inadvertently, my body initiated a mate bond with you.Itshouldn’t have been possible, but as you can see, we are more than compatible.Oursouls are now tied together.Welive and die as one.Iwill always be solicitous ofyou, but you will not send me away or deny me the privilege of your company, your mind, your heart, your soul, and, if it must be said, your seductive little body.”

Shockrenders me speechless for long moments, whileLaithogwatches me warily.

Good.

Heshould be wary.

I’venever delt with ultimatums well, and to be honest…IAMFREAKINGOUT.

Ijust experienced the best fuck of my life and nowI’mpermanently mated to an otherworldly being, while also being targeted by a crazy human man that wants to force me to marry him.

Talkabout fuckingironic.

Butthen it dawns on me that he said my bodylast.

Companyis first, then my mind.

GraduallyIrelax.Laithogisn’tBradley.Hedoesn’t want toownme.

Thismale isn’t going to use and abuse me.

FromwhatI’veinferred…he wants the opportunity to love me and be loved by me.

Andlove, love is something that should always be sought.Nomatter what, andIcannot find it in me to resent him for that.It’snot likeIam seeing anyone, and my parents are getting older.IfIwere to haveLaithog, aka “Lance,” it would comfort them with the knowledge thatI’mnot alone anymore.

RefocusingonLaithog,Inotice that his entire body is tense, as if he’s expecting me to snub him, to throw his words back in his face.Relaxingmy body under the weight of his,Isoften my body and submit to him. “It’sokay,Laithog.Iwon’t send you away.Thatisn’t something you have to worry about,”Ireassure.

Oncemy words register within his conscious mind, his entire body collapses on me.Asmall squeak of alarm escaping me asI’msmothered by a colossal purple and black body.Laithogburies his face in the crook of my neck, scrunching his torso since his cock has yet to soften. “Paisley,Ihave a grave confession to make.”Hissolemn muffled words make me stiffen in apprehension.

“…what…” is my cautious reply.
