I swallowed dryly thinking about what those words meant when a grin spread through his dark features. “Never thought I’d have to fuck out of you.”
I slapped his hand away, but I couldn’t hide the small smile coming to my lips. “Don’t be an ass.”
“You could still be in this realm without true loyalty to me. I never thought you’d get to this.”
His eyes found mine, and we stayed there watching one another, breathing each other in.
“Does it mean what I think it means?” I asked finally.
His big body brought me even closer, my nipples scraping his wide chest.
“It means no one will ever take you from me.”
I nodded, fitting my head under his chin, while he hugged me close to his chest. I never planned to belong to the underworld, never wanted to be so far from my sisters and away from the house I grew up in. Yet right now I felt it in my bones, I knew this was where I belonged.
It was laughable to think this was where I wanted to stay.
I opened my eyes when I heard a squeak in the middle of the room.
I knew that squeak. I would know it anywhere. I saw her sniffing at the corner, her black hair impossible to miss against the white marble.
“Anora!” I jumped from Vicious’ embrace and ran for my familiar.
This time she wasn’t an echo. She walked straight onto my hand, and I brought her close to my face, never so happy to see someone.
“Anora, are you ok? I’m so relieved you survived all this time without me. Did any of them feed you? Were they nice to you?”
“If she answers back, she’s not allowed to stay.”
I turned to him and rolled my eyes. He was on his feet now, naked as I was, smirking down at me and Anora.
“She’s here because I belong?” I asked.
“You belong,” Vic confirmed.
And against all my preconceived notions, the sigh coming out of my mouth was only relief.
The frenzied banging on my door woke me up. I was about to curse whoever dared knock when I felt her skin under my fingertips, her curly hair fanning over my chest.
Pilar was all over me, her leg over mine, my coarse fur scratching the delicate skin of hers but she didn’t seem to mind. Her face had the satisfied expression of a woman who’d been thoroughly fucked by her mate.
I’d never get tired of looking at her naked body. Her pointed, caramel nipples caressed the side of my chest. I couldn’t help myself and my hands went to her breasts, kneading them, pulling a moan out of her delicious lips even before she opened her eyes.
“My lord, I’m so sorry to bother you. This is urgent,” Lagus called from the closed door, his request followed by another set of rushed knocks.
The disturbance woke her up, her mouth stretching in a big yawn and I wanted to fill it with my cock again.
“I’m barely awake.”
“Hmm…” My voice was thick of sleep but I was never so ready.
She rose on her elbows, her smirk told me she knew what I was thinking. “That face,” Pilar whispered between my lips. “You make that face when you’re dying to split me in two with that big co—”
“My lord!” This time Lagus screamed, forgetting himself.
“That sounds urgent.” She got out of bed in all her naked glory, leaving me with a hard cock as I watched her heart-shaped ass sway toward the bathroom. I was determined to memorize everything about my little wife. The way she moved and the perfect jiggle of her ass. Her legs looked long for a girl her size, toned, and the color of gold. Her thick hair went down to her waist and when she turned to look at me over her shoulder and threw me a wink I died even though I was death itself.
The knocking never stopped. Lagus was getting impatient as I watched my wife. She got herself to the lavatory and I had no other reason to ignore Lagus.
