Chapter 41 – IVY
Chapter
Forty-One
IVY
Venom told me I wasn’t allowed in the greenhouse for a couple days. It was hard to resist due to my curiosity and simply just missing my oasis, but I obeyed.
“You’re finally ready to let me back in?” I ask.
“I promise you; you’ll think it was worth it.”
“We’ll see about that.”
He stands behind me and wraps silk material around my head, concealing my eyes.
“No peeking.” With firm hands on my hips, he guides me into the greenhouse.
Although my eyes are concealed, I’d always recognize the scent and feel of being in this place instantly.
“Watch your step.” I grab onto Venom’s wrist as I almost trip on what I imagine might be a tree root.
“I got you, darlin’. I won’t let you fall. ”
“Just lead me into a viper’s pit?” I say with a laugh.
“You entered the viper’s pit long ago and did more than just survive.” He presses closer to me, the heat of him warming my back, and whispers against my ear. “You thrived.”
I smile and run my hand over his. “So, are we there yet?”
“Impatient?”
“Just really curious.”
“Well, we’re here.” I feel him pull away from me and I instantly miss the feeling of him against my body. “You can remove the blindfold.”
The blindfold slips from my fingers and falls to the dirt as I look at what’s before me and take a sharp inhale.
Dahlias.
Dahlias everywhere, filling my whole view along with a blanket lying in the center of the arrangement. He spent the past couple of days planting all these himself.
A soft breeze blows through the greenhouse, stirring the lush petals of my favorite flower.
Dark purples, delicate pinks, striking reds, oranges, soft yellows, and some so dark they look black, and there’s even some with blue hues.
It’s a breathtaking scene and I mean it; my breath is lost for a moment like I’ve forgotten how to inhale air.
When I remember how to breathe and speak, my words come out in a whisper. “You remembered.”
I feel Venom at my back once again. “I remember everything that has ever come out of that wicked mouth of yours.” He leans into me and presses a kiss to the side of my neck then retreats.
I spin toward him to find him down on one knee and I freeze again.
“Oh my god. Are you about to propose?”
“Christ, no. A piece of paper to represent my love and commitment to you will simply never do.”
I eye him suspiciously.
He begins to unbutton the rest of his shirt while staring up at me.
“Oh. Right here? Right now?”
He smirks and shakes his head. “Greedy for my cock, are ya?”
His shirt falls to the ground and I look him over, wondering what he is getting at. Then he takes my hand, turns it over and kisses my wrist. His eyes return to me and he smiles that devilish grin that was once so infuriating, but now it does something much different to me.
His brows scrunch together as his expression turns serious.
“I love you. But it’s also so much more than that.
Those words will never be thorough enough to express what you mean to me.
” His eyes light up. “I craved you and when I finally got a taste, I realized I had been starving my whole life and now, sweet beast, I claim you as you have claimed me.” Still holding onto my hand, he stands, and that’s when I finally notice it.
A new tattoo.
Vines of ivy wrap and cling around the snake on Venom’s body. They are intertwined, claiming each other in the most beautiful way.
My tear-filled eyes shoot up to his as my heart threatens to beat right out of my chest.
“Venom,” I choke out.
“I do hope it’s better than a typical proposal. I didn’t end it with a question, because frankly, at this point, you don’t have a choice in—”
I throw myself at him, arms wrapping around his neck. He lifts me and my legs wrap around him before I kiss him.
I kiss him deeply, like it might be the last time I ever feel his lips against mine.
He pulls away just to say, “That’s certainly the response I was hoping for.”
I grab the back of his head and push him back into me, sealing our lips again. A groan leaves him and I feel him smile against my mouth.
I hardly notice when Venom carries me over to another spot in the greenhouse and sets me down on my bare feet against the biggest tree in the greenhouse with ivy growing all over the trunk. “Don’t move.”
He begins pulling the ivy away from the tree and wrapping it around my arms.
“What are you doing?”
Before I know it, my arms are stretched in opposite directions and securely tied to branches above me by the ivy.
I’m sure I could break free if I wanted, but I’m too intrigued.
Then Venom pulls out a knife, flips it a couple times while staring at me, before coming over and cutting away my clothes until I’m left completely bare.
The air in the greenhouse is warm, but my nipples still form into hard peaks, stimulated and eager for what Venom has planned.
Gripping my throat, he leans in. “Say you’re mine.”
“Make me,” I challenge, with a bite to my lip.
His smirk widens and his eyes light up. “I was hoping you’d say that.” Still holding my neck tightly, he presses a kiss to my forehead. “My pleasure, darlin’.”
Venom pinches my nipple hard and I let out a whimper.
He reaches to my other one and does the same, drawing the same response from me.
And then he tweaks both of them between his fingertips at the same time while staring at me.
I clench my thighs together and bite my lower lip to stifle my whimpers.
“What did I tell you?” He uses his thumb to pull my lip free from my teeth. “Leave the biting to me.” Then his teeth press into my tender breast as he kneads my other in his firm grip.
I groan into his hair as my arm tries to move so I can grab him, touch him, but I can’t.
“Are you to torture me?”
He stands tall once more and gently grabs my throat.
“I mean to replace your past in every aspect, little beast. When you think of torture, it won’t be of whips and pain; it will be of my fingers, my tongue, my teeth and my cock.
You will feel pain but laced with pleasure.
” He strokes a finger down my cheek and across my lips “I will be your every memory. Because I don’t just love, I consume. ”
“Is that a threat?” I tease.
“A promise.”
“Then get on with it.”
“That’s my wicked beast.” He grins then flips his knife out once more and brings it between my breasts.
I deeply inhale, staring into his pale sapphire eyes.
“Do you trust me?”
“Yes.”
Then the blade gently presses into me with a soft sting as he drags it down a couple inches, pinching my nipple again at the same time. My mouth falls open with a light gasp and I watch his smile grow.
“You like seeing me bleed and in pain?”
“Only when it’s followed by your pleasure.” And with that his head drops to lick my small wound from bottom to top before planting his silken lips to mine as he steals my breath.
He steps back, breaking free from the kiss and slaps a hand across my breasts. I can't help but give him a light moan and begin rubbing my thighs together.
The pain he delivers pulls me closer, searching for the pleasure that follows. The tightness builds in my core, hungry for him.
“More,” I plead.
“Such a greedy beast.” He steps closer again, his breath sending chills over my skin. “Tell me, what do you want? My fingers between your juicy thighs or my tongue? Which will make you scream louder?”
“Both.” I whisper. “Please, touch me.”
“How can I refuse when you beg so sweetly?”
He suddenly lifts my leg, placing it onto his shoulder as I balance on one foot. Then he cups my pussy in his hand. “Is this where you want me to touch you, darlin’?”
“Mmhmm. Yes, please.”
Then his fingers push into me and I let out a moan as my head falls back. I stare up through the tree’s branches to the glass domed ceiling, feeling Venom’s fingers fucking me and my eyes begin to roll back.
Venom clicks his tongue against his teeth, tsking. “Not yet, beastie.” He removes his fingers and slaps my aching pussy twice. My body flinches and I groan, silently begging him to give me more.
He drops to his knees; my leg bent over his shoulder.
“My, my, I wish you could see how bad you're dripping for me.” He runs a finger through my wetness as I look down at him. He then sucks it clean before giving me another slap.
“Fuck, Venom,” I cry out. “Please, I can’t take much more. Just let me come.”
“But I’ve only just begun,” he says with a playful grin.
I softly laugh. “You’re gonna pay for this.”
“I do love your threats, darlin’. They've always been adorable. Now let me get back to work here.”
His mouth finally reaches my pussy, his tongue sweeping through me and I buck into him, desperate for more.
I feel him chuckle against me before his tongue begins to move around my clit over and over in agonizing circles.
Again, I try lifting my hips, pushing into him.
His hand comes up, smacking my ass hard and then his teeth sink into the sensitive spot between my pussy and thigh. I nearly scream.
“That’s it, beast, let it out. Scream for me.”
His mouth returns to my pussy in eagerness, lapping up my wetness before suckling on my sensitive bud.
He’s being gentle and slow now, savoring my clit, cherishing it with his lips and tongue.
I moan and grip tighter to the vines of ivy helping to hold me up.
“Yes. Please don’t stop. Oh god.” But right before I climax, Venom pulls away and stands. “No. No, no, no. Fuck, please Venom!”
He leans in, gripping my chin. “Tell me, do you prefer this kind of torture?”
A part of me wants to say no because this is fucking hell, but my god, it feels so fucking good. The mixture of pleasure and pain is intoxicating and I’m becoming delirious.
“Yes,” I whisper, my voice feeling weak just like the rest of me.
“Good.”
He begins unbuckling his pants and I smile wide when they drop and his beautiful erect cock frees. He grips himself tightly. “You want this?”
I nod.
His head tips low. “Use your manners, beast.”
My pussy throbs and aches more than I thought possible. I need him inside me.
“Please. Please fuck me.”
“Of course, darlin’. Anything for you.” His wicked smirk grows.
He pulls me toward him and lifts, lining himself up at my entrance as my bent legs hang wide open for him. Then he impales me on to his glorious cock and I cry out, probably waking every creature in this greenhouse.
My legs wrap around him as he begins to pound into me with reckless abandon. Fingers dig into my ass with a bruising grip and he moans against me as he loses himself inside me. I welcome the chaos of his love. I’ll forever savor every twisted moment with him.
His love is a poison I’ve come to crave. He’s made me an addict.
I’m addicted to Venom.
I hold onto him tighter as I near my climax and feel him reaching his. “I love you.”
Suddenly I feel something moving on my arm. I look up and catch the sight of iridescent blue scales and the oval-shaped head that belongs to Mya.
I want to scream. I want to run. But I’m tied to this fucking tree and being impaled by a large cock. She slithers her way down my bicep and then onto my chest.
Oh my god.
Venom pulls back to avoid squishing her but he holds onto my hips still driving himself into me. I look at him with panicked, wide eyes.
“She won’t hurt you, darlin’. Trust me, Ivy. Just let go,” he says breathlessly. “Focus on me. Focus on this.”
I close my eyes for a moment, letting my senses focus back to how Venom feels inside me. My head tips back as my bound arms hang from ivy with my bottom half being held up by Venom’s strong hands as he fucks me, and I let out a moan.
As Mya’s body slithers over my nipple, it strikes a nerve I didn’t expect.
The sensation tips me over the edge and I completely lose myself.
Venom, taking notice of what’s happening, pinches my other nipple once more then rubs at my clit as I break apart, bucking and writhing with my moans coming out as more of a scream as my orgasm shatters me with Venom following right after.
My heart pounds against my chest as Venom holds me close, both of us catching our breaths.
Mya begins to happily move herself onto Venom, coiling around his bicep.
A moment later, Venom speaks first. “Think you can stand for a second?”
I nod and he places me gently on my feet before transferring Mya back into the tree, then grabs his knife, cuts me free from the ivy, and scoops me into his arms. He carries me back over to the dahlias and lays me down on the blanket.
And there, we lay together naked until the daylight shining through the glass domed ceiling turns into shimmering moonlight, wrapping us up in its silver glow as we fade into each other.
