Page 94 of Vicious Princess
Daegel’s groans and moans in my ear drive me wild. He slips a hand between me and the rug to circle my clit, eliciting a gasp from my lips. A few more hard thrusts and gentle sweeps of his thumb over that sensitive spot are all it takes for me to climax again.
“Fuck.” I breathe out the word and bury my face in the rug.
Daegel pulls out the hand that’s been underneath me and grabs my hip. It stings when his fingers dig into my skin. I welcome that pain, though.
“Where do you want me to come, princess?” Daegel’s voice in my ear is rough as he tries to control himself.
My mind is hazy from pleasure, but I don’t need to think twice.
“On my back.”
With a growl, Daegel pulls out. The emptiness in me makes me whimper; I crave the sensation of him buried deep inside. He groans, and a heartbeat later, he laces my back with his hot cum. I lick my lips, savoring the sounds, sensations, and scents in that moment.
“Stay here. Don’t move.”
Daegel leaves me for a couple of minutes. I rest my head on the back of my hand while I wait. I’m exhausted and, finally, at peace. My mind is quiet.
When he returns, Daegel has a wet cloth in hand. It’s warm and pleasant on my skin while he wipes my back. I gasp and then giggle once he turns me over, holding me by the hips, and then spreads my legs. I rest my feet on his shoulders. He gently kisses the insides of both my ankles and then cleans me up between my thighs, too.
Once he’s done cleaning up, he lies down next to me and pulls me closer to his chest. “Still remember your name?”
I tap my chin, pretending to think. “Mmmm… Unfortunately for you, yes.”
He buries his face in the crook of my neck and chuckles. “I enjoy a good challenge more than anything.”
Of course he does. It’s hard to miss how successful he is for a fae his age. Most with achievements like his have ambition that reaches beyond the sky.
I bite my bottom lip and then turn over to lie on my stomach. He lies down next to me on his back. With my finger, I trace the line of his jaw.
He’s stunning.
“That’s hot, I have to be honest,” I say quietly. “Your ambition and your drive.”
“I admire your ambition and drive, too, princess. You’re truly one of a kind.”
I snort a laugh.
“No, seriously,” he says. “How many humans would dare to even move to Ekios, let alone attempt to join the Order? It requires a special kind of person.”
“Yeah,” I say with a chuckle. “I must say, I greatly underestimated what I was getting myself into.”
He flashes me a smile. “Great ambition comes with pitfalls, too. One of them being overestimating our chances or underestimating our challenges. But I guess we need the delusion. It’s the only reason we attempt unreasonable feats in the first place.”
“True,” I say and rest my cheek on the back of my palms.
This, having him lie next to me, while both of us are naked and satisfied…it feels too good. All good things in life tend to end too soon.
I don’t wantthisto end.
For a moment, I’m overwhelmed with emotions so strong, I have a hard time controlling them.
“You’re distraught. Why’s that?” Daegel plants a soft kiss on my forehead. “That’s not how I want you to feel after having sex with me. Not when it’s this fucking good.”
I rest my palm in the middle of his chest. His heart beats steadily underneath. “I know the first time we had sex, I told you I was only looking for fun, a way to blow off some steam. It probably gave you the wrong impression ofwhoI am. I can’t do this whole casual-fuck thing. It’s not who I am, even if I wish I were. Not only is this dangerous because we’re breaking rules, it’s dangerous for my heart, too.”
I try to pull away, but Daegel doesn’t let me.
“Who says this is a casual fuck?” His words make me pause. “I told you before, this is not something I do. Ever. Even back at that bar, I had every intention of seeing you again, and again. I don’t want this to be a casual thing, Phoenix.”
