Page 58 of A Hint of Delirium

“Let’s make a deal,” I jested. Her eyes narrowed, making me chuckle inwardly.

Without waiting for her answer, I plunged down, my tongue slipping between the seam of her lips. Her juices flowed over my tongue and I tasted her honey nectar, but I needed more. Always more. My ambrosia. Needing to claim her orgasm as my own, I sucked on the bundle of nerves, the suction making her moan louder than before. I refused to stop until she lost her mind.

More.More.More.

I’d become a glutton, and I needed more of her. I knew I was damned the moment her hands tangled into my hair, riding her hips against my tongue, and I placed one finger inside her wet center.

“Oh my God!” She whimpered, which only emboldened me to slip in another finger, her pussy gripping around them like a vice. “I’m going to come!” she cried out and her words sent a white heat of ecstasy surging to every nerve in my body. Sliding in one more finger, I pumped my fingers and with a slight nibble on her swollen nub, she clenched around me and yelled, “Yes, Ansel! Yes!”

No longer able to hold back further, I sat up and lined myself up at her entrance. “I can’t wait anymore.”

We groaned in unison the moment I pushed into her. Even though I’d stretched her by prepping her with my fingers, she was so tight I was at the edge of losing my bloody mind.Fuck!

I pushed in deeper, my eyes fixated at the joining of our bodies when the reality slammed into me. Violet would be my reckoning, but one I would greedily accept. I would willingly sacrifice myself for this female; one who never should have been. I would do whatever I must to protect her.

The slapping of our skin with each thrust was my wordless vow to her. Violet’s hands grabbed my hips and urged me harder, faster, until we became two chaotic bodies lost in our pleasure. I slapped the concrete wall above and heard the cracks before pebbles of debris rained around us, unable to maintain the leash on my elemental powers.

The closer I got with each stroke, the more I needed to bring her with me, so I rubbed my thumb against her clit and angled deeper. Her legs tensed and I knew she was close. Slinging her leg over my shoulder, I drove my hips into her with my thumb continuing its assault until she clenched around me so hard, my balls tightened from the pressure. I rolled her nipple between my fingertips and gave a light pinch, which was all the stimulation she needed to fall over the edge, taking me along with her.

Alec metme early the next morning in the hallway outside my apartment. I left Violet fast asleep in my bed, my heart torn as I stood and gazed down at her angelic face. After last night, the last thing I wanted to do was leave her side. I knew she would be angry I didn’t wake her or bring her along on our grim errand, but I didn’t want her involved. I could deal with her anger afterward.

“You ready?” Alec asked as he opened a portal. He peered over at me and tilted his head. “Are you okay? You look … different.”

I frowned. “I’m fine.” Was it so obvious and written all over my face that I’d spent the night with Violet?

He shrugged. “Whatever,” he snipped and turned back to face his portal.

“Do you know where the compound is in Iowa?”

He rolled his eyes. “I wouldn’t be doing my job properly if I didn’t know where.”

We jumped into the portal and dropped into the middle of nowhere Iowa where the Ancient Order of Leviathans lived. Their tiny community was located just outside a small town, which afforded them the privacy they craved and lots of land to complete their training exercises without prying eyes. The remote location would also make it easier to exterminate them without attracting notice.

“All right, you know the plan?” I asked Alec.

“Ladies first.” He grinned and motioned me forward.

I rolled my eyes and stepped inside the walls of their gated community, followed by Alec. Once he stood beside me, I placed a hand on the ground and raised a mountain of stones and rocks, creating a dome over the community and closing us in so no one could escape.

Shrieks and screams rang out as soon as the sun was cut off and the whole place was enclosed in darkness.

“Your turn,” I said to Alec.

His hands ignited in flames as he purposefully strode forward, setting everything ablaze. The fire spread fast, catching on wood beams and cotton fabrics as if doused in gasoline. While he flung his path of destruction, I hurried through the compound to find the children.

Everyone ran and scrambled in frantic circles, trying to locate an exit. I felt each time they attempted to knock the walls down, but the rocks stacked back up on their own to rip away any shred of hope the humans may have had.

Ripping the children from their parents, I collected them all and surrounded them in a separate dome the fire could not touch to keep them safe. Then, Alec and I waited as the entire Ancient Order of Leviathans compound burned to the ground.

“You!” An older gentleman stomped toward us in the midst of chaos. “How could you turn on us after everything we’ve done for you?” He coughed and gasped, inhaling the thick plumes of smoke.

I stared him down with cold eyes. “After everything you’ve done for us? You mean trying to abduct one of our own for your gain?” I took a step toward him, but Alec held me back.

“The halfling? This is all because of the halfling?” he gasped and coughed, dropping to his knees. “She’s as good as dead.”

“What did you say?” I pushed past Alec and grabbed the man by the collar, hauling him up to eye level.
