She dropped her gaze and sighed, and in that moment, Daemon felt his heart sink, but he waited for her to continue. When she finally looked up to meet his gaze once more, her eyes were soft, and she had a smile on her face. Her smile could light the way in the darkest of nights, and when it was directed at him, it was as if the sun was shining for him and him alone.
“You’re not alone. I feel it too and though I don’t understand it, I don’t want to fight it. I don’t know what that means going forward, especially with you leaving tomorrow and every other complication that is sure to arise. But I do know that I want to see what happens.”
Daemon was too stunned to speak, so instead he did the only thing that he could think of, he pressed his lips to hers.
He had expected her to end things there. Say that it was just a fling, that it didn’t mean anything. But she hadn’t.
Auraelia pulled away and rested her brow to his. “This is crazy, you know that right?”
“I do. But I also don’t care.”
“We probably should care. We need to figure out how this is going to work,” she said as he started trailing kisses across her jaw, and then down her neck.
Daemon sighed and rested his head on her shoulder before standing upright. “I know, and I doactuallycare. We will figure it out, I promise.” Daemon let his smile turn devilish, “But first, Princess, I want you.Now.”
Auraelia’s eyes widened, a moment of fear passing through before being consumed by her desire. “Right here?”
“Yes, Auraelia. Right here, among the stars.”
“We’re in a hallway, Daemon.” She raised one of her eyebrows, as sass bled into every word.
“Are we?”
Her eyes narrowed slightly, as disbelief swarmed her features.
Daemon stalked forward, forcing her to take a few steps back and collide into a wall of solidified shadows that he’d conjured moments ago.
When she looked around to see what she was now pressed against, Daemon pulled her face back to his.
“Don’t worry, my star. No one but me will hear your pleasure.” He ran one finger down the side of her face in a feather light caress, then furthered his descent as he continued speaking. “No one but me will hear how your breath hitches before your orgasm rips through you.” His finger was now down her neck and trailing across the swell of her breasts. “No one but me will see how your eyes roll back when I bite right here.” He pressed his thumbs against her nipples behind the fabric of her corset, causing her to inhale sharply, then he continued his descent.
“Daemon,” she moaned, want evident in her voice.
“Needy little thing, aren’t you?” he asked, as his finger hooked into the top of her pants right above the laces. “Where was I? Ah, yes.” He started undoing the ties. “No one but me will hear you scream my name as I bury my cock to the hilt into your pussy.”
Ever so slowly, he slid his hand behind the laces, and was met with nothing but her bare skin and a soft patch of curls.
Fuck.
Slipping his hand down further, he cupped her, and the feeling of her slick core had him clenching his teeth to keep from ripping her clothes off right then. He loved watching her squirm under his touch. Loved watching her need and desire build.
Auraelia whimpered as she attempted to rock against his hand, seeking any kind of relief from the growing need pulsing in her core.
He began to slide his fingers back and forth through her slit, her desire coating his digits with every swipe. Every time he would graze her clit, her entire body would shake with anticipation. “You’re mine, Auraelia. I know that we have a lot to figure out but say you’re mine.”
Her face was flushed as her orgasm built, but her eyes were locked onto his.
“I’m as much yours, as you are mine.”
“I’m yours, for as long as you’ll have me. I’m yours.”
She smiled. “Amazing. Now that we got that out of the way, would you please, for the love of the goddess, fuck me?”
“Only because you asked so nicely.” Daemon smirked, then simultaneously drove two fingers into her core and crushed his lips to hers, devouring the gasp that tried to escape.
Auraelia’s fingers tangled into the front of his shirt, both pulling him closer and using him to hold her up as he worked his fingers in and out of her while using the heel of his hand to add friction to her clit.
He slid his other hand around to her back, deftly undoing the laces of her corset, loosening them enough that he could pull her breasts over the top. Moving from her lips, he trailed hot, open mouth kisses down her neck, sinking his teeth into the junction where her neck met her shoulder, then easing the hurt with gentle kisses and flicks of his tongue. The sound of her moans, her whimpers, and heavy breathing shot straight to his already hard cock. Dipping his head lower, he pulled one of her nipples into his mouth. Auraelia, finally abandoning the strong hold on his shirt, ran her fingers through his hair at the root, holding him in place at her breast.
