Page 50 of Shadows of Fate

“Now what, My Lord?” I whispered.

His hands came up to rest on my hips. “You are the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen, Silvana,” he said, as he leaned forward and gently kissed just below my navel. “I’ll never know how I talked the Fates into blessing me with such a breathtaking, strong, and phenomenal mate.”

I could feel the blush creeping up my cheeks the more he spoke about his love for me. Nothing about this was normal to me, but I soaked it up anyway, never breaking eye contact with him.

His hands gently caressed down my hips, and before I could say a word, he picked me up and switched our positions, leaving me in the chair and him on his knees in front of me. He pushed my thighs apart, baring me to him, and pulled me forward to the edge of the chair. Leaning down, he picked up my thighs and pulled them atop his shoulders.

“I’ve been thinking of this sweet cunt of yours all day long, and now that we’re here, I won’t be letting a single thing stop me from tasting you again,” he rasped, so close to me I could feel the breath from his mouth against my wetness.

“There’s the male I’ve been waiting ages for,” I said as I tried not to twitch with anticipation.

“You get both versions tonight, my little ice queen. Now, the only noises I expect from those lips are words of worship for your ruler.”

I playfully rolled my eyes. “Yeah, I hear you, My Lord. Let’s see what you’ve go?—”

I was cut off when suddenly his mouth was pressed against my aching core and it was all I could do to not scream. Gripping his hair, I quickly pulled the tie from it, letting it down—finally. I dug my hands into the thick tendrils as he made a feast out of my soaking cunt.

His mouth moved back and forth between sucking on my clit and his tongue dipping between my folds and inside of me. My hips jerked, aching for him to stick with just one, but he seemed intent on edging me into insanity. Moving every time my body started to tense up.

“Please, Raiden. Please. Please,” I muttered, so close, yet so far. I heard him snicker from between my legs.

“Please what, my darling?”

“Please let me come,” I begged.

The short laugh I heard told me I was right about his intentions. Evidently, he didn’t want this to be easy for me. He pulled his mouth away only to exchange it for his fingers, pushing two deep inside my cunt as he stared up at me. “The only place you’ll be coming tonight, is on my cock, Silvana. Not a moment before.”

As he spoke, I could feel it rising again, my body tightening. I tried to hold him there with my thighs, but like a true sadist, he pulled his fingers from inside me before the wave had the opportunity to finally crash.

I opened my eyes and stared down at him for a moment, trying to catch my breath and decide if I wanted to use that dagger he asked me to keep. Before I could act, though, his shadows had my hands tied together in front of me. I growled as he smiled.

“Open,” he demanded.

I opened my mouth, although somewhat reluctantly. I was suddenly feeling bratty. He stuck the two fingers he had deep in my cunt into my mouth and I sucked my juices off. He pulled them from my lips with apop, only to replace them with his tongue, kissing me deeply. I forgot my anger for a moment because kissing this male was something I could do all day long—and planned to.

He nipped my bottom lip with a fang and gently sucked the blood until it healed. I tried to reach for him but realizing my hands were still tied, I let out a small whimper.

“Fuck, I need to touch you, Raiden, please.”

“Soon, my darling queen. Soon,” he whispered as he kissed down my jaw to my collarbone. I could feel his teeth graze against my skin, only he stood before he sank his fangs into me, leaving me even more of a mess than before. I wondered if vampires could die from edging. I’d always been more of a ‘take what I want and leave’ person when it comes to sex with anyone, but Raiden seemed intent on making me wait for it.

He pulled off his shirt and tossed it onto the floor. Then he untied the laces on the front of his pants, and my mouth went dry as he stepped out of them. This was my first time seeing my male fully naked, and I was thanking all the Fates listening that the room was lit because I wouldn’t wish to miss a single bit of him.

My eyes took in all of the ink scarred into his skin from the bottom of his neck, down his chest, his stomach, and along his left leg. Swirling marks of black, some lines were thin, while others were thicker patches of winding ink. When I finally made it to the spot between his thighs, I swallowed in anticipation. Never one to back out of a challenge, and taking this male would be just that. A challenge almost as long as my forearm, and as thick as my wrist.

“I need the shadows gone, Raiden,” I said as I held up my wrists.

He smirked. “Feeling a bit exhilarated now, are we?” He didn’t remove the shadows and instead pulled me to my knees in front of him. “Remember our safe word, darling? Because I’m not even close to being finished with you. I plan on taking our time. But I promise there will be multiple orgasms in your future, but only on my cock. Is that understood?”

I gritted my teeth and nodded.

“Good girl. I’m going to move your hands behind your back. If you need to stop, use a bit of your ice. Preferably not as much as I’ve seen you use, but I’ll get the point if it gets cold.” He smirked at his own joke, and I tried not to start panting over what his praise for my more… unhinged behavior did to my already soaking thighs.

Without replying because, truly, I needed to taste him, I opened my mouth, stuck my tongue out, and gazed up at him.

“Fuck, look at you. I don’t know if I like it better when you listen or when you don’t, Silvana,” he muttered. Stepping closer, he slowly pushed his cock into my mouth. I wrapped my lips around him as he pulled back out and repeated as I adjusted to his size. He hit the back of my throat and I suppressed a gag, moaning around him. Swirling my tongue around his head and swallowing the precum leaking from the tip. I looked up as his head fell back and he groaned.

“That’s right, darling.” He reached around my head and wrapped my braid around his hand a few times. “Fuck—remember ice if it gets too much.” I glanced up at him in confirmation as he used the hold on my hair to start fucking my mouth. I could feel his hand tightening in my hair the more he moved. He looked down at me, no doubt seeing my lust-filled eyes. That seemed to be his undoing. He quickly pulled his cock from my mouth, a line of my saliva going with him.
