Page 44 of A Song of Death and Desire

She pauses before nodding and I guide her gently to sit with me on the sofa, throwing an arm around her shoulders andencouraging her to lean in. “What’s going on in that head of yours right now?” I ask. She continues to chew on that bottom lip, and I’m flooded with the urge to take over and bite it myself.

She takes time to process her thoughts and it’s a few long moments before she answers. “What have I done, Eagan?” she whispers, so quietly I have to lean in closer to hear. “How many people have gone missing? How many has she killed? Goddess it’s all my fault.” She chokes on a sob, despair lacing her voice.

“We don’t have all the information yet and we are making a lot of assumptions. How do we know that she wasn’t killing people before this?”

“But she’s using my song. She tricked me into giving up my abilities without telling me that she would be able to use them. I knew making a bargain with her would be dangerous. I knew it. I’ve heard the stories, but I did it anyway!”

“You did it to save my life,” I remind her gently.

“It was me who put your life in danger in the first place!” she screeches as tears begin to track down her cheeks. “Every time I try to make something better, I just end up making it worse. I was so blinded by the offer to be able to live as a human that I missed her true manipulation.”

“We can figure this out together. You’re not alone. You have me and it looks like Raidne is more than willing to help.”

She tilts her chin to look up at me and her beauty leaves me breathless. Tears cling to her long dark eyelashes and her emerald eyes glimmer. “You would help me? After everything I’ve done?”

“I mean I’m partially responsible as well, aren’t I? You wouldn’t be in this position if it weren’t for me.”

She pushes up to brush her lips against mine, softly and far too briefly. As she pulls away, I close the distance between us and capture her lips again. She lets out a soft exhale and deepens the kiss, allowing my tongue to push in. This kiss is different fromour previous ones. While our others were hard and unforgiving, sparks of electricity and a raging inferno, this kiss is softer, more intimate, like that first gasp of air when you’ve been underwater for too long. It’s foreign and terrifying, threatening to break apart all the walls I’ve tried to place to keep my soul from reaching out to hers.

The wetness of her cheeks leave moisture on my own and her hands reach up to tangle in my hair. She digs her fingers into my scalp, and I moan at her touch.More. I need more.The taste of her is a drug and I’m hopelessly addicted.

She moves to straddle me on the sofa, but I don’t allow her to, instead picking her up by her ass and walking as quickly as possible with her to my bedroom. I lay her gently on the bed and take my time to remove each item of her clothing, kissing a pathway on her soft, silky skin as I do so.

She’s beautiful.

Her body has always attracted me, but more than that, it’s her soul that is calling out to me. I stare reverently at her, realizing that I was an idiot to ever think I could stay away from her, to be able to stop emotions from getting in the way. She makes mefeel.

She squirms under my gaze and whimpers with need as my lips move closer to her core before moving away again to kiss her shoulders as I slip down the straps of her bra.

“Please,” she whispers, arching her back and pressing her breasts to my chest. My legs are on either side of hers and our torsos are pushed against each other. She’s gloriously naked but I’m still fully dressed, a matter she immediately tries to rectify. She pulls off my shirt and I move off her briefly to unbuckle my pants and release my cock that is screaming for attention and pushing uncomfortably at the zipper. Her lust-filled gaze locks on mine as she runs her tongue over her delicious lips.

I stand next to the bed and greedily drink in the sight of her naked body on my bed once more, her vibrant, long hair splayed around her. I run my eyes over every inch, taking in every curve and dip and the freckles that dot her collarbone. She is perfection.

I lower myself on top of her, feeling her push up against me. I cover her lips with my own and resume our kiss. Her hands go back to my hair, lightly pulling at the strands and mine trail over her skin, following the path my eyes took moments before.

My cock aches for her and the precum gathering at my tip slickens her stomach where it rests. I can feel her heat as she tries to grind against me, desperate for friction.

“Please,” she pleads once more and I’m unable to resist. She no longer has her siren song to enchant and seduce but she doesn’t need it for me. With one word from her luscious lips, I’m ready to burn the world down for her. How did we get here?

I trail my fingers down between us, seeking out her wetness. As suspected, she’s soaking for me and after quickly rolling on a condom, kissing her the whole time, I line up the head of my cock and enter her with one strong thrust. She cries out, moving her legs to wrap around my back as she takes me. Fuck her cunt is so tight.

She’s amazing.

She’s made for me.

I push up on my hands taking in the look of pleasure on her face before leaning in to suck on the crook of her neck. The motion makes her moan, moving her hips in time with my thrusts. I stop briefly, maneuvering a pillow under her hips before pushing back in. The new angle and tilt of her hips has Kairi screaming as I move against her relentlessly. Her hands wrap around my back, and she digs her nails into my skin causing me to hiss with the pain while also heightening my pleasure.

The way we are entangled right now is different from other times. There’s no dominance, no desire for Kairi’s obedience and no talking. We are wholly and completely in the moment with each other. The intimacy between us is overwhelming. I don’t even recognize the emotions writhing within me. All I know is that I never want this to end.

“I’m going to come,” Kairi gasps. I crash my lips to hers in another searing kiss before propping myself up to look into her eyes. She holds my gaze with wide eyes, her pupils dilated so that only a small ring of emerald remains. The look she gives me is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. It’s vulnerability, hope, and something else I’m afraid to name. I have no doubts that the same emotions are reflected in my own eyes.

“Then come for me, vicious one. I need to see your beautiful face as you come around my cock.”

She screams out my name as she shatters around me, and her orgasm pushes me over the edge as well. The feeling of her pussy tightening around me like a vice is almost more than I can bear, and I cry out her name before burying my head in the crook of her neck as we still. We remain like this, sweaty bodies pressed together as our chests rise and fall in time with each other. Her hands stroke my back softly and I bask in the comfort. Eventually I roll off her and take in her flushed and sweaty body. My dick twitches as if to tell me it wants to go again but exhaustion lines Kairi’s face and I can tell how much today took out of her.

“Do you want me to go back to my room to sleep?” she murmurs and I’m shocked at how strongly I abhor the idea.

“No. Stay,” I respond and she releases a sigh of relief.
