Chapter 14
FOURTEEN
Mia
Tobias hums an unfamiliar melody above the noise of the riotous storm, so I know exactly where he is. The sound is almost soothing enough to dull the ache between my thighs. The anticipation is a creature all its own, clawing against my skin, begging me to strip free of these soaking wet clothes.
His steps continue, heavy with intent, following my path into the kitchen, each footfall louder than the last. I can hear his sneakers squeaking as he turns on the tile leading towards the hall. He’s getting closer and closer.
Keeping my back flat on the wall, I look out into the bedroom, my eyes slowly adjusting to the dim light streaming through the curtains from the house next door. Shadows wade in, slithering across the floor on their own, blindly seeking their prey. Tobias’ checkered sneakers follow soon after, just a few feet short of the closet’s threshold. I am so close that I don’t need to turn my head to see them .
I clasp a hand over my mouth to stifle my whimper; the sound lost in his steady tune.
Tobias shuffles his feet, turning and walking away, his song fading with every step. I lean forward, watching him disappear into the bathroom, his steps loud against the tile.
This is my chance to escape, to put distance between us.
I push up onto my feet, watching for Tobias’ shadow in the light of the bathroom, then turn towards the hallway.
The humming stops and I only make it two steps before strong arms wrap around my middle, lifting me up and flattening me against his chest like I weigh nothing at all.
“There you are, my little doe,” Tobias growls in my ear, the cool wood edge of the hockey mask pressing against my neck as he breathes me in.
My little doe. The phrase echoes in my thoughts on a loop, a warm blush spreading across my chest. His. I want it to be true. I have never wanted anything so badly in my life.
“What is the safe word?’ He asks.
"Olive," I murmur, arching my back into him.
“Good girl.”
A flustered giggle dies in my throat as he carries me back into the bedroom and tosses me onto the bed.
I roll over, bracing myself on my forearms, and Tobias catches my ankle with an iron grip.
“You thought you could get away from me,” he lifts the mask off with one hand and tosses it aside, his red eyes glowing in the faint moonlight. A crown of jagged shadows that resemble antlers, sit atop his head, his dark hair tousled and wild from the rain.
Tobias exhales a ragged breath, his eyes rake down my body as a lupine grin stretches across his face, revealing the tips of his sharp teeth.
“Fuck,” I gasp.
“You are so beautiful,” he tilts his head.
He lets go of my leg, his hand going to the back of his collar. With one swift movement, he pulls off his shirt and tosses it aside. I follow his hand down to his jeans as he undoes the first button, one handed and drags the zipper down. Stepping out of his jeans, he crawls onto the bed in his dark navy boxer briefs, the outline of his cock pressing against his leg.
I move back towards the headboard in time with his advances.
A growl escapes through his clenched teeth. He fists the waistband of my black shorts in his hand, tugging me down closer to him.
I yelp as my back hits the mattress, and he furrows his brows, his predatory gaze slipping. If I blinked, I would have missed it.
He yanks my shorts down over my hips and across my thighs, tossing them onto the floor while shadow tendrils slip beneath my damp shirt, until it bunches above my breasts. He pulls it the rest of the way over my head, leaving me beneath him in my red bralette and black panties, my legs splayed wide between his hips.
Tobias stops, looking for something.
“All my tests are negative and I’m on the pill,” I stammer out, my gaze flitting from the bulge in his boxers up to those gorgeous red eyes, “if you’re looking for condoms.”
The otherworldly stare knocks the air from my lungs like he’s ready to devour me whole. I follow the trail of black markings down his chest, watching them disappear under his waistband .
“Good,” he growls low in his throat, “because I know it will take an act of God to pull me away once I am deep inside of you.”
With a rough shove, his boxers are down over his thighs and his thick cock hangs there, its flushed dark tip already leaking pre-cum.
My mouth goes dry, I want nothing more than to run my tongue along the dark veins twisting up his shaft, savoring the salty taste of him dragging out every obscene sound caught in his throat.
Tobias fists his cock, stroking it from root to tip, rolling his palm over the head as he lowers himself over me. He hooks his thigh behind my knee, spreading me even wider.
Leaning down, he captures my lips in a searing kiss, his tongue teasing and exploring while his erection nudges against the hem of my panties.
I grind against him, wanting to feel more of his cock.
It would be so easy for him to pull them aside and slide deep, but he continues to kiss me, teasing me with his hips.
He grabs at my wrists and holds them above my head, two tendrils snaking up to restrain me.
“You have no idea how long I have wanted this, my little doe.” His hand teases at my bra, uncovering my breast, taking it into his mouth and teasing the tip with his tongue.
“Oh,” I drag out, my voice shaking. I arch my back off of the mattress, squirming beneath him, wanting more friction, more of him.
He releases my nipple with a pop. “You walk into my dreams, night after night, teasing me with that perfect cunt of yours.” He reaches between us and hooks his finger under the elastic of my panties, his fingertip brushing across my folds sending shocks through my legs, “I need to feel it. To feel your fear, your desire. Fuck you until you’re a needy, shaking little mess drunk on my cock.”
“Look at you, already so wet,” Tobias smiles, then grits his teeth. I hear a long rip, the thin material separating us falling away.
He lines himself up, rubbing his cock along the seam of my pussy and over my clit.
I look between us, biting my lip as he notches himself at my entrance, a hand going down to grip my thigh.
I struggle against the shadow tendrils, wanting to grab his hips until he sinks deep, instead, Tobias nudges his thigh, spreading me wider as he slides in. Letting me feel every slow and agonizing inch of him until he’s fully sheathed inside of me.
A whimper escapes my lips as I look up into his eyes.
He’s shaking, his breath coming out in huffs as he leans to kiss me again, rocking his hips in short measured thrusts that light me up, sparks settling low in my stomach.
“You feel so good,” he brushes his nose against my jaw, choking out a groan as he drives deep.
Warmth coils up my thigh, slithering and twisting between us, the firm tip of his shadows rubbing my clit.
I twist my wrists, pushing against the shadows, until they wither away, then throw my arms around his shoulders, my nails digging in, clawing for purchase.
“You’re taking me so well,” He presses his face against my neck, claws gripping my thigh.
Sharp teeth graze against my shoulder, his rhythm driving me closer and closer until I’m practically shaking. All it takes is one firm swipe of his tentacle and I’m falling over the edge, toes curling as waves of pleasure crash through me .
“Don’t stop,” I choke out, wrapping my leg around his hip.
“Fuck,” Tobias groans out, reaching up and grasping the wooden headboard, his hips stuttering between thrusts.
It feels like my body is practically humming, his movements slow to a steady grind, red eyes darken as they stare down at me, white slowly bleeding into the black. The shadows supporting me slip away like the crown of thorns that sat above his brow.
“That was,” I huff out, my hand going to his cheek.
He stares at me, tilting his head to press a kiss to my palm.
“I have never felt anything like that,” he shifts his weight with a deep exhale, his cock sliding out of me.
I’m waiting for him to crawl out of bed and leave me behind, but he settles next to me and tucks me close to his chest, fingers tangling in my hair.
He holds me like I’m something precious, not something to be used and discarded.
I burrow closer to him, listening to his steady heartbeat, waiting for his next breath.
