Till Death Do Us Part: A Paranormal Why Choose Romance (Vows Duet Book 1)

Chapter 28

Present Day

I feel itchy.

Ever since we were put in a holding pattern, waiting for Gabriel to wake the fuck up so he can be forced to move on, Nova has avoided me. Anytime I’ve materialized next to her, she’s just ignored me, waving me away with a flick of her hand. It makes me want to pin her over the nearest furniture and fuck the dismissal out of her.

Fuck me for saying I would get her permission to do anything.

I probably shouldn’t be in her room while she sleeps for that very reason. But what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her.

Lips parted, little sighs leave her on every exhale, her long lashes laying against her cheek, as she lies on her side. My eyes trace the silhouette of her body, my mind wandering as I wonder what it would feel like to have her pressed against me while we both sleep.

Not that we’ll ever have that.

Nova shifts in her sleep, muttering something as she rolls onto her back. My tongue swipes at my bottom lip as one of her perky tits peek around the armhole of her tank top. I want nothing more than to lean over and take the dusky pink bud in my mouth, let my tongue flick against it instead of my lip. She moves again, this time with a tiny whimper, kicking at the blanket tangled around her legs.

“Fuck me,” I whisper when she lets her legs fall open in her sleep, her hands slapping against her thighs and dragging upwards. Her fingertips stop just shy of touching her cunt, poised right at the elastic of the tiny little black panties she’s wearing.

You said you’d wait for permission, I remind myself. If I could sweat, it would be pouring off me right now.

“More,” she mumbles. “Touch me.”

Well, if that isn’t permission, I don’t know what is.

I lunge forward, doing exactly what I envisioned, sucking that hard little nipple into my mouth. Her back arches as I lave it with my tongue, then let it go with a pop. A growl rumbles through my chest as I cup the breast still inside her shirt and pluck at her now-wet nipple.

Studying her face, I realize she is really and truly asleep, her mouth still slack, even as she pants with every twist of my fingers. I should probably stop, and I’m this close to removing myself when her hips thrust up against the air. An agitated sound leaves her, as her hips thrust again, looking for friction.

I’m not fucking leaving.

Carefully, I move over her, settling between her parted legs and pull her shirt up so both of her tits are free. I shower them with attention, licking and sucking at her flesh—even nipping at the skin, hoping it’s hard enough to leave a bruise for the morning. I work my way down, moaning at the taste of her skin when I lick along the curve of her ribs, until my face is at pussy level. I pull her panties to the side to get my first look at her.

“Fuck, little Nova,” I breathe, blowing air across the wetness glistening on her. A shiver goes through her, but when I drag my tongue along her slit, she lurches up with a cry.

I freeze, meeting her eyes, watching the confusion play across her face. Too bad I’m too busy savoring the sweet taste of her pussy to feel too bad.

“Koda!” she gasps. “What are you doing?”

She’s so surprised that I’m between her legs she doesn’t even pull her shirt down, her nipples both standing straight out, hard as diamonds.

Instead of an answer, I bury my tongue inside her.

She falls back with a cry, and I take advantage of her surprise. I thrust my tongue in and out of her before bringing the flat of it from her entrance to her clit, swirling around the swollen nub. Hands clutch at my head and I expect Nova to shove me away, steeling myself for it.

She surprises me this time, clutching at me and holding me in place. “Yes, Koda,” she pants. “Like that.”

In seconds, I yank her panties from her, ripping the seams and making her yelp. I toss the shreds of it over my shoulder, but I’m already smothering myself in her pussy. I eat her out like a man possessed, pressing her legs up and out to give me even more access to her. When I feel a tremor start in her thighs, I release one leg, letting it fall on my back. I slam two fingers inside her, suckling on her clit as I work them in and out, hard and fast.

“Koda!” Nova screams, trying to clamp her legs around my head.

I keep the leg I still have ahold of back, keeping her open to me. The wet, noisy slurps I’m making as I clean up every bit of cum she gives me mingle with her cries and moans, her hips moving to grind her cunt against my face as she comes all over it.

I gentle my tongue, lapping at her still, when she falls back to the bed. She writhes, especially when I suck at her once more, whimpering for me to stop. Knowing she’s become oversensitive, I surge up until I’m hovering over her and will my clothes to get the fuck out of here. I drop my weight on top of her and press my mouth to hers, kissing her, making her taste the sweet and musky cum on my tongue and lips.

Nova wraps her legs around my waist, and her arms around my neck, as our kiss turns into the desperate one that we’ve shared before. My cock, free of the confines of make believe clothing, prods at her thigh.

“Let me fuck you, little Nova,” I plead into her mouth. “I need you.”

“Yes. Now,” she breathes. “Koda, please. I need you, too.”

I don’t wait. No need to give her time to come to her senses. With a groan, I push inside her tight, slick pussy, feeling the way it sucks me in.

Something changes in me when I’m fully seated in her. Where I would normally start pounding into her as roughly as I can, as is the kind of sex I prefer—at least I did, before I was murdered—I pause.

Nova’s eyes blink open, her chest heaving. “What’s wrong?” she asks, on the verge of a whine.

“Eyes on mine,” I murmur, drawing back. When I’m sure she’s heard me and her eyes are going to stay open, I drive into her steadily. “Eyes on mine,” I repeat when her lashes flutter like her eyes are going to shut. They snap open, holding mine.

I prop myself up on my forearms around her head, my gaze boring into hers as I fuck her. Her nails bite into my back as she clutches at me, moans leaving her mouth with every grind of my hips against hers when I’m as deep as I can go.

“You don’t know it yet,” I whisper, “but you’re our girl.”

Something like defiance flashes in her eyes and I punish it away with a few crisp snaps of my hips. I kiss her hard, catching her bottom lip between my teeth and biting down until she whimpers before releasing it.

“Ours,” I snarl, pushing into her harder, rolling her hips up higher. “Our little Nova.”

This new position, her ass totally lifted off the bed, keeps her from arguing. The whites of her eyes show as I drive into her pussy, hitting that spot I know will drive her wild. When green eyes find mine once more, there’s a vulnerability apparent in them, like she’s afraid to believe the words I’ve said in the heat of the moment.

And I don’t know. Fuck. Maybe they are just words in the heat of the moment, but they feel right.

More words won’t matter. Our bodies slap together as I fuck her deep, staring even deeper into her eyes as we move together, trying to convey how serious I was. The moans, forced out of her with every thrust, turn into screams as her hands scrabble to clutch at me, clinging to my shoulders.

“Come for me, little Nova,” I grunt, trying to hold back exploding in her until she’s there too.

She really fucking does. Her pussy clamps down on my dick and a warm gush of fluid coats me, dripping down her ass. The warmth of her juices is what kills my self-control and I roar as I come, my hips stuttering in their movement as I empty myself inside her.

Panting, Nova allows me to crash down on top of her, holding me to her damp body while she rearranges her legs around me. I don’t fight the hold, nestling my head into the crook of her neck, breathing deep to smell the salt of the sweat I caused. My cock, still half-hard, stays hidden inside of her while she catches her breath, a few trembles of aftershock vibrating through her. By the time she’s caught her breath, her limbs are like liquid, she’s relaxed underneath me.

I feel her deep breath, her lungs expanding, pushing against my still ones. “Koda?” she murmurs, her voice heavy with exhaustion.

“Hmm?” I mumble. This is probably the closest I’ve been to actual sleep since I died.

“Don’t leave me, okay?” I blink, lifting my head, unsure what she means. “Stay with me until I wake up,” she clarifies, hesitantly reaching up to touch my cheek with two fingertips.

I lean into her touch and nod. “I won’t leave.”

With that, I push myself off the top of her, her brow furrowing in confusion based on what I just promised. She makes a soft noise in her throat as I pull out of her, but my attention is on where we were just connected.

One thing I never got to do and always wanted to, was to fuck someone bare, just so I could see my cum coating them, trickling out of them, afterwards. But no matter how long I stare at Nova’s pussy, the more I realize that, despite coming in her, there is no cum.

“What are you doing?” Nova asks, sounding embarrassed. Probably because I’m unabashedly inspecting her like it’s my job.

I’m disappointed, but I shake it off, letting her legs slide to the bed. “Nothing, little Nova,” I answer, climbing up the bed. Just like I imagined earlier, I lay next to her. But before I pull her to me, nestling her ass into my crotch, I wedge the blanket between us to keep the chill of my touch from her. “Go to sleep. I’ll be here when you wake up.”

Her body relaxes again, her hands bringing the blanket up to her chin. Being careful to keep the blanket as a barrier, I hook my arm over her waist and hold tight. Minutes pass, but I can tell she isn’t sleeping, her breathing not as even as it was earlier when I watched her.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?” I whisper.

She looks over her shoulder at me. “Because I can’t stop thinking about what we just did.”

I feel a pang of guilt that wars with satisfaction. “Nova, I’m sorry if—”

She flips over onto her other side, putting her fingers over my mouth to stop my words. “Because I’m trying to decide if I’m being a”—her eyes dart away from me and back, more wary when they return, her voice dropping to a whisper—“slut for wanting to ask you for more.”

I grip her wrist and pull her hand away from my mouth. “Right now?” I demand.

Nova hesitates, then nods. “Yes,” she practically mouths, the fear of rejection shining in her eyes.

I rip the blanket away and then pull her from the bed, on a mission.

“What are you doing?” she squeals as I haul her forward.

“Remember how I said I wanted to fuck you against the wall?” I ask, shoving her against the bare wall at the foot of her bed.

Her back arches as the skin touches the cold wall, trying to get away from it. “Yes?” she gasps.

I flip her around, nudging her feet apart as I bend her forward, making that cute little ass open up to me. I press my once again hard cock into the slippery mess between her legs, coating it. Once I’m sure I’m well lubed, I slam into her from behind, dragging a cry of my name from her lips.

I lean forward, pinning her hips against me so I’m lodged as deep as possible, and put my lips to her ear. “You’re going to be begging me to stop making you come by the time I’m done fucking you, little Nova.”

And just about the time the sun is rising, peeking through the window hours later, Nova begs me for a break.
