Elliot grinned, peeking down at his Fae girlfriend."You're a genius."
She kissed him on the wet nose before knocking his nose ring for good measure with a giddy chuckle, "A girl could get used to the compliments."
"My girl better be used to compliments," he retorted, nuzzling his nose against hers.Cassie sighed dreamily.They lingered, listening to everyone around them.The food was devoured, and the mood turned to a sleepy, affectionate quiet.People began to disperse and Andromeda fought Toad on paying for the food.It wasn't until Elliot and Cassie were walking, hand in hand down the sidewalk, that he broke their bubble."Shall I take you home?"
Cassie peeked up at him, "You don't wanna stay the night?"
"I would love to," he confessed.
"I don't want to disturb Lily, but, I also don't think I can make it to your place before passing out."She yawned large enough, her jaw clicked.Elliot heard it and he shivered with a chuckle.There was a second where he considered offering to carry her to his place so she could sleep in his arms.Yet, there was something exciting about spending the night at her place.They always crashed at his place.This was his chance to wake in her bed.Now, if only his heat could behave.
Thankfully, he didn't have much to worry about.As they cracked open the front door to her apartment, all the lights were off, and Cassie slumped through the dark.They dropped off all her equipment onto her desk, flopped down into her bed…and they immediately fell asleep.With his girlfriend in his arms, the scent of her shampoo on her pillows, and frosty sheets, he descended into the dark.
Elliotwokewithastifled yawn and a stiff cock.Something that normally he pawed at to get rid of.However, this morning, someone was stroking it for him.Well...stroking was a loose term.He woke, blinking sluggishly, as he felt his own traitorous hips rutting forward.His cock was lovingly squished between two silky thighs, tender fingers rubbing and teasing his tip.Cassie wasn't wearing panties or pajama shorts like the ones he was certain she went to bed wearing.When he glanced down, she was naked.Back arched, her hair tossled against the fur on his chest.He shifted, only to find his left arm trapped underneath her head and his fingers wrapped around her neck.His right was pressed against her soft belly, keeping her ass pressed against his lower abdomen.
"Cassie," he moaned, unable to stop himself from fucking the very thighs he fantasized about.His hips rutted, broken thrusts and trembling limbs.He was already close.Cassie was slick.Her wetness coated his shaft as he brushed against it with every rock of his hips.Cassiopeia whimpered and his stomach clenched.Elliot broke, spilling through her thighs and coating the satin sheets."Shit."
"Shh," she giggled, reaching up to put a hand over his mouth.He grunted into her palms, riding out his orgasm between her legs.It didn't solve the knot; he was still hard as marble statue.However, it did run a chilly shiver down his spine.Elliot shifted, trying to kiss her hands or her head or her face, only to go deathly still.Something was tugging at his horns.
"Cwassie," he murmured into her palms.She pulled her hands away and he croaked, "My horns."
"Huh?"She shifted and immediately clamped her hands over her mouth.The sweet, but hysterical giggles filtering out through her palms as she scrambled up onto her knees.Elliot tried not to bark with laughter as she had to mount him just to untangle him from the wooden slats of her headboard.She snorted, "Welp, I'm not getting the security deposit back."
"No," he whined in a hush, "I can fix it."
He wiggled them straight down the bed, embarrassment burning across his chest and cheeks.Cassie planted her hands firmly against his chest, trying to keep her cackles under her breath."Don't worry about it, big fella, I didn't even think about it.It's just plaster, I can fill that in."
"Baby, let me fix it," he pleaded."That's two of your things I've ruined."
"Ha, please," she rolled her eyes."It's not ruined, it's just not Minotaur proof.I'll get a car with a sunroof and we'll sleep on the other end of the bed.Not that big of a deal, Elliot…what is a big deal, however…"
Her seductive, mischievous gleam returned to her eyes as she glanced down to the heavy cock pressing against her.She sat up on her knees, grabbing him by the knot, and leveled him with her cunt.Elliot bucked upward, head tossed back.The tips of his horns carved trenches in the slats of her headboard.It made him flinch as he feared for her furniture.Thankfully, Cassie didn't care, nor did she notice as she sank down onto him with feverish delight.Fuck did he like it, love her, want her, enjoy her pleasure.Cassie did not hesitate, and it drove him to madness.
Cassie pressed her palms against his chest to keep herself up.Elliot took ahold of her hips, rocking her into a rhythm they could both sustain.Hair tossed back, her ringlets were a mess of tangles and frizz.She looked too pleased, chewing on her lower lip to keep her sounds trapped inside.Sounds he'd so greedily coveted when they were at his place.They could be loud, howl to the moon and scream the other's name.At her place, however, clearly the walls were paper thin.Elliot spared a fist to his mouth, chomping on his knuckles to keep from lowing.It only muffled the sound for a moment before Cassie had to cover his mouth.It was probably the sexiest yet silliest thing as she tried not to cry from laughing, and he tried to be quiet.
A knock sounded against the door, "Hey, I'm uh…gonna go grab doughnuts and coffee from the cart, three blocks up.So y'all can be loud, just uh…you know, finish up within the twenty minutes it's going to take, huh?"
"Lily!"Cassie cried out, wheezing for air.
"What?The walls are thin.You both just get it out of your system, okay, love you, bye!"
Cassie collapsed against Elliot, howling with laughter.He planted his hooves flat against the mattress, thrusting up into her as she cried into his chest.By the time they both reached climax, she was choking on her own tongue and he was swiping away his own tears with the back of his hand.Cassie didn't take his knot but he softened anyway.
His heat was easing.He returned to the field for a moment, his mind replaying the moment.Golden glitter and a cloud of confetti filling the air.Cassie, in all her glory, red in the cheeks and smiling broad enough to hurt her jaw.He took ahold of her head.I love you.He mouthed it, unable to say it out loud yet.But it took a burden off him to even mouth it.And she looked at him with such awe, he hoped she felt it.As he returned to the moment, rolling them over so they were both covered in sweat and cum and sticky sheets, he hoped she felt how much he loved her.
And one day he'd have the courage to say it out loud.But for now, it was enough.
Chapter twenty-two
An unfortunate series of events
Cassiopeia
Cassstoodbyherdriver's side door, staring up at Salamander Press.Her heart slammed against the bones of her rib cage, threatening to toss itself into the parking lot.Lyra parked on the other side of her, climbing out.The sisters lingered in tense silence before Lyra slammed her door shut.Cassiopeia jumped in her skin, wheeling to face her sister."I'm getting boned, aren't I?"
"I'd fucking hope you were, have you seen Elliot?I mean, the boy isabsolutelypacking it—"
Cass chucked her notepad at her sister's head, snarling as the blonde-haired, sunglasses-wearing, evil lawyer of a Fae woman dodged.Lyra caught the book and skittered across the parking lot.The journalist bolted after her older sister.As much as she wanted to beat Lyra in the face for making light of her anxiety, it did help.As she came to a stop at the front door, Lyra opening the door for her, she tried not to swallow her tongue.The massive, crystal panes made the foyer a glittering rainbow.The receptionist beamed up at her, "There you are, cutie pie!I was hoping to see you today.I was reading your article on McMatterson?Oh!My!Dragons!You're so ruthless!I love it."
