Chapter Twenty-Eight
PAISLEY
What the fuck just happened?
I can feel Laithog’s thickness lodged deep within me, wiggling a bit. I test if what I think is happening is actually happening. The hiss we both let out tells me that, yes, his dick is locked in me.
There’s an odd taste in my mouth. It’s not unpleasant, but it’s one that I can’t place. Reaching up, I wipe my hand across my lips, frowning as I see Laithog wince. Looking at my hand, I see traces of a viscous blue fluid.
Blue fluid that matches the rapidly healing cut on his lower chest.
Opening my mouth, a scream on the precipice of escaping my throat, I’m cut off by Laithog’s mouth sealing to mine. Muffling the shriek of horror, I am about to let out. His plunging textured tongue tangles with mine, building that insidious heat low in my womb as he thoroughly distracts me from my distress.
Moments go by and Laithog gradually softens the kiss, soothing me in degrees. With a final swipe of his tongue across my lips, he verbally reassures me. “ Shhh , little flame. There is no need to fear. You need never take my blood again. It is only a requirement of our first joining.”
My head snaps up at that. “ What do you mean it is a requirement, and that’s awful fucking presumptuous of you to say “first joining’ like there will be another!” I retort hotly, full of indignation.
Without warning, he emits an audible sound, reminiscent of a cat’s purr but far deeper and with resonance to it. It makes my brain short circuit and my cunt clench simultaneously as lust blooms inside me instantly. The sound soaks into my body, rendering me completely submissive to him.
Through heavily lidded eyes, I watch as his mouth descends and takes one of my nipples in his mouth, his tongue lashing the overly sensitive peak, that sound still rumbling deep in his chest. Abandoning the first nipple, his dark head moves to the other, treating it to the same treatment. A climax ripples through me as he works my nipples and grinds his thick member deeper within me. He lets my body down in increments, leaving my overly sensitive nipples alone.
Laithog raises his head and pins me with a smug look.
“ Okay , so you’ve made your point,” I huff out.
Leaning to the left, he puts all of his weight on that forearm, raising his right hand to tenderly scrape a lock of my red hair behind my ear. “ I have known you for many months, little flame. You’ve known me for less than a day, and must learn about me. This I know. However , inadvertently, my body initiated a mate bond with you. It shouldn’t have been possible, but as you can see, we are more than compatible. Our souls are now tied together. We live and die as one. I will always be solicitous of you, but you will not send me away or deny me the privilege of your company, your mind, your heart, your soul, and, if it must be said, your seductive little body.”
Shock renders me speechless for long moments, while Laithog watches me warily.
Good .
He should be wary.
I’ve never delt with ultimatums well, and to be honest… I AM FREAKING OUT .
I just experienced the best fuck of my life and now I’m permanently mated to an otherworldly being, while also being targeted by a crazy human man that wants to force me to marry him.
Talk about fucking ironic.
But then it dawns on me that he said my body last.
Company is first, then my mind.
Gradually I relax. Laithog isn’t Bradley . He doesn’t want to own me.
This male isn’t going to use and abuse me.
From what I’ve inferred…he wants the opportunity to love me and be loved by me.
And love, love is something that should always be sought. No matter what, and I cannot find it in me to resent him for that. It’s not like I am seeing anyone, and my parents are getting older. If I were to have Laithog , aka “ Lance ,” it would comfort them with the knowledge that I’m not alone anymore.
Refocusing on Laithog , I notice that his entire body is tense, as if he’s expecting me to snub him, to throw his words back in his face. Relaxing my body under the weight of his, I soften my body and submit to him. “ It’s okay, Laithog . I won’t send you away. That isn’t something you have to worry about,” I reassure.
Once my words register within his conscious mind, his entire body collapses on me. A small squeak of alarm escaping me as I’m smothered by a colossal purple and black body. Laithog buries his face in the crook of my neck, scrunching his torso since his cock has yet to soften. “ Paisley , I have a grave confession to make.” His solemn muffled words make me stiffen in apprehension.
“…what…” is my cautious reply.
“ The tiny, deformed beasts. Your dogs… ”
“ Uhm …yes?” I ask, my confusion clear.
“ I believe the two of them watched us the entire time we were within the grips of the mating heat…” chagrin evident in his voice as his voice trails off. I guess the thought of my two little loafs watching us fornicate is enough to cause Laithog’s erection to falter. His cock softens and withdraws abruptly, leaving me empty as his spend leaks out of me.
Bleh .
Ignoring the leaking situation I’ve got going on, I turn my head towards the front door. I can see the tops of Merry and Pippin’s heads, their beady, judgmental eyes in clear view through the glass of the storm door. Laithog didn’t close the solid wooden front door, so they had a front row view to all our activities.
The hilarity of the situation hits me and I snort out a laugh, ignoring Laithog’s huff of disgust as my entire body shakes with mirth.
