Page 72 of Payne's Envy

“You should have mercy on us, Joy.” He tightened his fist in my hair, pushing my lips against his thick erection. “It will be over before you even begin if you don’t—”

I covered him with my mouth until he pressed against the back of my throat. I groaned with him as his hot cum hit my throat. Intense pleasure came out of nowhere. I let go of Payne’s dick to press my hand against my stomach. The tingling rapture differed from my climax, but was no less powerful.What is this?Payne’s grip tightened on my locks, and he pumped his shaft in and out as he continued to come.

He kept releasing in my throat. So much. Hades, he was glorious. I loved pleasing him.

I was the only female who could receive his love. The thought alone ramped up my desire. To know I could accept all of him in ways no other person could… And I was the only one that could touch him intimately since his change because we were mates.

I felt swollen and needy, but the sudden intensity sweeping through my body wasn’t relenting. My breasts felt so heavy they ached. I hissed against his flesh as my sensitive nipples bumped the rocks.

I pulled my lips away from his erection and whimpered, “Payne.”

“Can you feel me, mate? My release.”

My cheeks felt hot, but everything on me was burning. “I think… so. It’s not stopping, though.”

“No, it’s not,” he grunted as he took my hand and placed it on his shaft again. Cum still spilled from the tip and pulsed repeatedly in my grip.

I let my mouth part as I admired how sexy that was. Payne wasn’t touching me, but his pleasure rocked my world. Having Payne as my soulmate was incredible!

“Is this normal for your kind?”

“I don’t know, Joy. I’ve been acting on instinct, but it feels right. The only thing that feels wrong is not mounting you.”

I placed my hands on his hairy thighs and lifted myself out of the water. When I straddled him, his eyes rolled back in his head.

“We can put an end to this heat—”

“You will carry our offspring.” Payne placed his palm against my cheek before tucking my hair behind my ear. “I will complete our bond when I am whole. Until then, we must wait. I need to know exactly why I made you feel like I didn’t love you when that was far from the truth.”

As my mate ran his fingers through my hair, I blinked.

“I love you—always have. I know this to be true, and it’s why we must wait until I remember everything. You deserve that.” A big tear dripped down my cheek as Payne continued, and he kissed it away. “Joy…?”

I covered his mouth with my palm. “Shh. If we must wait, tell me then. Tell me how you feel about me when you remember everything.”

Pressing our foreheads together, Payne wrapped me in his arms and held me.

Chapter Thirty-One

Payne

My cock was still engorged and aching as Joy slept. We were still at the hot springs. Rocks and grass clung to my arms. The same could probably be said about my ass and legs since I sat on the ground with Joy on my lap. Those things didn’t bother me, but I wondered if it did my mate. Her skin was much more precious. So much more delicate. We were also naked. Did the chill bother her? Or did I burn hot enough for her?

She slept peacefully, but given the state of my cock, I couldn’t relax. My body would refuse to rest until I had conquered Joy. I would in time. I’d been placed in that world for her, after all.

Breathing in my mate’s scent, I took that moment to look at the hot springs. That was a dark part of the woods, making the water shine brighter.

The water rippled as the breeze picked up. As I continued to stare at the glow of those woods, I sensed more in my chest. The more Iheardthe echoes of the past.

“Payne!”

“Payne…”

“Hades, hurry Payne. I think something is in the water with me. You don’t believe me? Come see!”

I smiled at Joy as her voice left my thoughts. She wasn’t lying when she said she tried her hardest to make me look. I remembered. Kissing her forehead, I chuckled. The sound faded as I stared ahead, past the hot springs. A dark, rocky path beckoned me. Like every part of her and those woods, I had a familiarity, but…. That place. We went there a lot.

In the distance, I heard the burbling of water as small birds flew near it. Was it the waterfall from that recollection of the man who claimed to be my father?
