“Yeah, I wouldn’t say no to a shower. Care to join me?”
A smile spread across his face at my invitation, and he was already pulling me to the door.
“Hell yes, I do. Wait, can we still use that phrase?” I laughed at his attempt to lighten the mood as he led us back to the third floor.
It was our sanctuary in this world once again. Though I felt connected to both worlds now. It was as if my conversation with Odin had taken the last of my reservations so I accepted the realm fully.
Hiro locked the bathroom door behind him—not that it would keep anyone but Layne out—before turning back to me.
We didn’t break the silence as he peeled my clothes off of me before doing the same to himself, tossing them all aside. They were ruined and I didn’t care what happened to them, we’d conjure more.
“It’s so strange. I feel more like myself than I ever have. You’d think it would be a weird transition to go from one body to the next, having random powers I don’t understand, but I feel like this is who I was supposed to be,” he said.
The vulnerability had me brushing my hands down his arms. It wasn’t the sexy moment I had expected but I had a feeling my beta needed to get that off of his chest.
“It’s the same for me. I’m literally connected to a realm, Hiro. I can feel it and sometimes it feels more sentient than we are. It conveys thoughts and messages to me, and not in the psychotic hallucination way like before. Now it’s like it chose me back.”
“Because it knows your worth,” he whispered, pushing my hair out of my face and bringing his lips to mine. “We all do.”
His kiss wasn’t rushed or sweet, it was possessive and purposeful. As if he were learning me all over again.
“I love you, Hiro,” I said. The urge to let him know was so strong I couldn’t have held the words back if I’d wanted to.
“As do I, My Queen,” he teased. “I’ve loved you since the moment I got to know you.”
Hiro backed us into the shower, still claiming my mouth as he adjusted the hot water. Steam filled the air and we only broke away long enough for the water to wash away the remnants of the battle.
The moment I deemed myself clean enough, I dropped to my knees in front of him. His breath caught as I wrapped my lips around his hard cock.
“Harlow, that’s not—” His protests broke off into a moan as he hit the back of my throat. And I didn’t let him protest further as I pulled back and swallowed him down again, sucking hard and setting a mind-blowing pace I knew he couldn’t resist.
We didn’t get enough moments like this, just me and my mate and the world closed away. I wasn’t going to waste it on talk, I needed to taste him, to own him, to feel him.
My hands were braced on his ass, likely leaving my fingerprints as bruises.
A part of me hoped Drake would get to see them later, and I wondered how he’d react.Hopefully by being the possessive alpha we both love.
Hiro was babbling out praises that were barely comprehensible which was a sign I was doing somethingveryright.
Our bond was blown wide open now. The pure bliss Hiro was feeling radiated through it. My pussy ached and slick trickled down my thigh without a touch from him.
The steam concentrated our mixed scents, the ice and smoke and our combined sweetness, had us both panting.
Sex with a mate was so much more, and the moment Drake claimed Hiro, brought him fully into the bond, I knew it would grow.
Hiro clutched desperately at my hair, slamming down my throat twice more before he came, crying out my name in a hoarse, desperate call that had a smile forming on my lips as I pulled away.
It was funny how he’d been so submissive as a human, but now that he’d left his baggage behind, he was claiming this new body as his own.
It made sense. This one never suffered from Vance’s assault, never was beaten and broken. It was new and all his.
He yanked me to my feet and pushed me to the wall, his body pressing to mine as he claimed my lips with renewed desperation. I barely drew in a breath before his tongue was dancing with mine, tasting every inch of me as if committing it to memory, not minding his salty taste on my tongue.
My cries were the ones echoing from the walls as he kissed and bit his way down my body until he was on his knees and throwing one leg over his shoulder so he had access to my dripping pussy.
Hiro knew me now, his tongue flicking over my clit while two fingers slid into my core. He sucked hard on my clit before teasing it slowly with his tongue, making sure I was on edge but couldn’t crash over it.
It wasn’t until I was the one begging to come that he relented. Soon he was tongue- and finger-fucking me so intensely my orgasm was like a storm, blowing me over with a deafening hit before receding. A loud whine escaped me as I tensed, feeling everything so much more.
