“Gaelan, please, baby,” I beg, the need to have him taste me is consuming.
“You want to come, Arianna?” his voice sounds dark with an edge of want.
“Yes,” my voice sounds foreign, clouded with my need. Gaelan makes no move, making me frown. “Gaelan?”
“I need some help, Rose. Part your lips for me. Show me where you need my tongue.” He makes no move to touch me; his eyes stay locked on my cunt. I watch with hungry eyes as he licks his lips again. I move my hands down my body, my fingers find my pussy lips, and I tease over them, smiling when Gaelan growls low. I then use my fingers to part them.
“Like this?” I ask him, his eyes flick up to meet mine, and he nods his head a little
“Yes, my Rose, don’t let go of your pussy. I will punish you if you do.” he chuckles, making me growl low at him.
“You wouldn’t dare.”
“Then be a good girl and do as I say, and we won’t ever need to find out,” he smirks, making me narrow my eyes. He can play with me all he wants to; it will be my turn next. Gaelan lowers his head and sucks my clit into his mouth. My head falls back, and I cry out his name. He starts typically, slowly teasing me, but this time he is sucking like it’s his favorite lollipop, like he can’t get enough of me. His hands are on my hips, holding me in place, totally at his mercy.
“Fuck my Rose, why do you taste so fucking good?” his words are muffled. He sucks me harder between each word. I open my mouth to speak, but a low whimper comes out. My fingers start to let go of my lower lip, wanting to grab hold of his head so he keeps doing what he is doing. Gaelan pauses, “Arianna, are you being a bad girl?”
“No, No Gaelan, fuck please,” my voice weak, shaking. He licks his lips, then lowers again and Laps at my clit hard. The pleasure I feel building in my cunt has my fingers digging into my lower lips hard. I can feel the sting of pain, and it’s making what he's doing so much more. His hands let go of my hips, and I cry out. “Gaelan!” as I buck up against his mouth and startto grind my clit against his tongue, he nips at me, and seconds later, I am coming. Gaelan growls before he lowers to drink in all that I am giving him. Lexus whimpers, feeling the afterburn of my release. She moves under my skin, making me growl low. Lifting my head, I look down at Gaelan, his dark hair between my legs. Not giving up just yet, tasting me.
My body shakes with my release; it's tired but ready for so much more.
Gaelan lifts and grins at me. “How do you feel, my Rose?” he questions, moving up my body so that he can look down into my face. He is still fully dressed, but I can feel his hard cock pressing against my stomach.
“Like I am floating,” I say and laugh lightly.
“Just how I want you for the conversation we’re about to have,” he says, moving to sit next to me on the sofa and then pulling me onto his lap so I straddle his waist.
“Conversation?” I ask, frowning, I was hoping for more orgasms, not for a chat that I know I am going to hate. Gaelan’s eyes lock with mine, and he nods slowly.
“We need to talk about what we are going to do with Macy; we don’t have much time after your last encounter. I don’t want her coming back, and we aren’t ready for her,” he says, all hunger gone from his voice; now he is serious. I pull in a breath.
“How do you know we don’t? I know we plan to take her out, I was just hoping we would have more time.” I think Macy has done some awful things to both of us, and I want her to face consequences, but I also want to make sure I am ready to take her out. I’m not dying this time. I have a Lexus with me, someone she has no idea about. Part of me is still so worried that even after everything I am, Macy is still going to find a way to rip me from this life. Gaelan lifts my chin, breaking me out of my thoughts, and our eyes lock.
“She has seen you now, and she was unable to kill you.” He closes his eyes for a second. When he opens them, the blue flames in them are angry, but not at me; he never looks at me with these eyes. They’re only for her. “You have shown that she will need more to try to kill you. You have become her new challenge, one she’s going to be intent on winning.” The last of his words makes more fear coil in my stomach.
“She won’t win, Gaelan; I’m not going to let her,” I say firmly
“Neither of us is going to let that happen.” His voice is so sure that I believe him. I also believe in us.
He grins, then leans forward and kisses my lips lightly.
“What about her father? She threatened that she was going to tell him.” My words make Gaelan laugh.
“She won’t tell him yet. Macy is always trying to outdo everyone, even her father.”
I nod. “So, what’s the plan? When do we leave?” I hope I have some time.
“I will be going in first with Leah, hopefully?—”
I lift my hand, cutting him off. “I’m coming with you, Gaelan, don’t shut me out.” My eyes plead with him, my voice firm and unmoving. “You said we were going to do this together. So that means every step of the way”
He shakes his head, pinning me with serious eyes. “It’s just the first part; it has been a long time since I have set foot in the palace, so I want to map it out completely. Make sure the path is safe for us.”
“I’m coming with you, Gaelan,” I repeat. “I don’t care if it’s just to map something out.” I lock eyes with him. “Don’t you think that us being separated could be what always rips us apart?” If he won’t take me, I’m going to go anyway. I’m the Book Reader. This is just as much my fight as it is his.
He sighs deeply and then chuckles lightly. “In all our lives together, you have always been the one thing to always test me.” He says.
“What does that mean?” I reply with a frown.
