Chapter 21
Tenebrys could feel the rapid thrumming of Delphi's heart under him. He rubbed his nose against her neck, inhaling her sweet scent of adrenaline and lust.
"Do you like it when I chase you?" he teased, his fangs running against the skin on the back of her neck. He ground his throbbing cock against her soft ass. "Answer me."
"Y-Yes," she admitted breathlessly.
Tenebrys's teeth caught on the collar of her robe, tearing the fabric just enough for him to grab either side with his claws and rip it in half. Delphi gasped but stayed very still like the clever prey she was.
"I can appreciate that you like to play games, little flower, but I also know people have taken away many of your choices in life," Tenebrys said, trailing his knuckles down her spine.
"When it comes to us, even now, you have the option to back out.
At any moment, if you want to stop, you speak up. Understand?"
Delphi whimpered something he didn't catch, so Tenebrys gently turned her head to look her in the eye. "I need to hear it, Delphi."
"I understand," she replied, with a nod. "Please, just let me come this time."
Tenebrys laughed softly. "Only if you're very good for me."
He hadn't taken the time to study her properly when he undressed her for her bath. Now he had permission to look and touch, and he intended to get his fill of both.
He slowly licked down her spine, savoring the warm taste of her soft skin. There were a few small moles among the scars, a constellation that was uniquely hers. His mouth traveled down the slope of her lower back, kissing the little dimples above her ass.
He moved away from her just long enough to rid himself of his trousers.
His dick was hard and leaking already. Shifters' precum was extra lubricating to ensure that their bigger size wouldn't be a problem for their mates.
Looking at Delphi's more petite body, he worried that she wouldn't be able to take him.
Tenebrys shook the worry away. He had known shifters with human mates before, so it had to be possible without hurting them. He would make sure she was prepared to take him, and it would be his fucking pleasure to do so.
He hiked up her hips until she was on her knees, her full, delicious ass in the air. He could have looked at it all damn day, but he was too impatient. He only had flashes of memory from the night before, and he needed to taste all of her.
Delphi gave a sweet little noise as he spread her wide and licked her shining wet pussy. Tenebrys moaned. She was musky sweet and would be a taste he would never be able to get enough of. He gripped her thighs with his big hands and buried his face in her.
"Fuck, Ten, I..." Delphi panted, and then she stopped talking.
Tenebrys delighted in every little sexy cry and whimper he got out of her. He feasted on all of it like a dying man. He made sure to pay special attention to the parts that made her swear and shake. He slid a finger into her, making her cry out.
"You are tighter and hotter than in our dream, Delphi," he said in awe. "You are going to feel so good squeezing my cock."
"Fuck, I'm going to... I..." she panted.
"Come as much as you want, but I won't stop. I need you wet and ready for everything I'm going to do to you tonight, my little mate," he growled. He added another thick finger inside of her, mesmerized by her pink folds stretching around him.
Tenebrys wasn't sure if Delphi would always want him, but tonight she did, so he would make the most of every second. He would drown her in so much filthy pleasure that she would always come back for more.
His long tongue went underneath her to flick on her clit, making her arch even further to chase it.
Her thighs began to shake, but he wasn't about to stop, even if she did come.
He swiped his tongue down to tease where his fingers were inside of her before moving to her sweet little pucker of an ass.
Delphi's nails were digging into the carpet, knuckles going white. He wanted her to lose control for him, over and over. She said she had a beast living inside of her. He wanted to set it free.
His other hand moved to cup her swaying breast, slipping down to stroke her clit.
"Fuck!" Delphi cried, her whole body clenching and shaking, soaking his hand and tongue. Tenebrys lapped at her come, purring in deep satisfaction.
Before Delphi could recover, he removed his fingers from her and slid an arm around her waist. She was boneless as he lifted her easily and carried her toward the bed. Her knees were pink from the carpet, and he didn't want to add further to her hurts.
Tenebrys sat down at the top of the bed, bracing his tall back against the headboard before he positioned Delphi in his lap, straddling his thighs. His hand rested on her neck, and he couldn't resist licking the pink shell of her ear. "Are you still with me, little flower?"
"Yes," she said, leaning her back against his chest. Her small hand stroked his dick, pulling it back against the hot, wet silk of her pussy. "Is this okay? Can I touch you?"
"Touch me as much as you like," Tenebrys replied, his big hands moving to cup her breasts.
Delphi rested her head on his shoulder, so he had a perfect view of the front of her curved body, his big hands on her, his hard dick between her pink pussy lips. It was going to be seared into his mind forever.
"You feel so good," she said, rubbing herself against the lump of his knot.
"You keep doing that, naughty witch, and I'm going to come all over you," he growled, meaning it. His knot and spur were so sensitive, it was only sheer will keeping him together.
"Don't do it yet. I want to try to get you into me first," she said, and her mouth lifted in a naughty little grin that hit him in the heart.
Tenebrys massaged her breasts, the velvet feel of her nipples driving him crazy. "Go on then, brave girl. Show me how bad you want it. I'll just sit here and let you take your time with me."
"So smug," Delphi said, smearing his slippery precum over his dick before fingering some of it inside of her.
Fuck. He wanted to take his words back and stuff her full. "Don't keep me waiting."
Delphi rubbed the thick head of his dick over her pussy a few times before pressing it to her slick entrance. Tenebrys tried to remember every calming exercise he had ever been taught. None of it was working.
He reached back to grip the thick wood of the headboard, scared of squeezing her fragile flesh too hard.
Delphi was sinking onto him a little bit at a time, her thrusts slow, giving her body a chance to adjust. By the time she got halfway down, Tenebrys thought he was going to lose his mind.
"Fuck, Delphi. You are so fucking tight. Don't hurt yourself," he groaned, his need to make sure she was okay outweighing any of the pleasurable torment he was in.
"I'm not. You feel so good. Don't make me stop," she half begged.
Tenebrys let out a breathless laugh. "An army of fae running into this room couldn't make me stop you right now."
"No. This is a private party," Delphi said, sinking further down until she hit his knot. "Oh, goddess. I didn't think I'd make it."
"Take a moment and start riding, little flower. I can't handle much more of this," he warned.
Delphi's response was to run her fingers down his spur and move her hot lips on either side of it. "Ohhh. This is going to feel so good against my clit."
"Stop playing with it and fuck me," he snarled, his fur bristling.
Delphi only laughed, delighting in his torment. "Yes, Your Highness." She started to slide up and down him, letting his slippery spur rub against her the whole time.
Their height difference meant that she could only get a small way up, so Tenebrys let go of the headboard and grabbed her gorgeous ass.
"Let me help, Delphinium," he said, kissing and licking her neck. He found her rhythm, lifting her up and down easily on him.
"Fuck, Ten. I've never felt anything… Don't stop," Delphi begged disjointedly.
"Never," he promised. He wrapped an arm around her, his forearm sliding between her soft breasts. He braced her against him, his hand resting around her neck, and fucked up, pounding her harder. She cried out at the change of pace, but he didn't stop.
Tenebrys could feel her starting to shake, her orgasm building again. He lightly smacked her wet pussy, making her jump with a startled sound that turned into a moan when he cupped her tight.
"Not yet," he growled. "Not until I say."
Delphi whimpered but didn't argue or stop. She was liquid in his arms, letting him use her however he wanted. He loosened his grip on her and gently pushed her forward so she had to grab onto his thighs to brace herself. It was the perfect view of his thick cock stretching her.
"Dark godess. Your cunt is squeezing me so tight, I can barely breathe," he panted, and it only made her ride him faster.
He slicked his fingers over where they were joined, gathering some of their combined wetness.
"That's it, Delphi. My perfect little mate.
" He circled his finger over her ass, making her cry out and push back against him.
"That's my good girl, taking everything I give you. Come for me, little mate."
Delphi pressed all the way down and ground herself against his knot. She lit up from the inside, like her veins were made of golden light. She screamed, a sound of release and ecstasy. Tenebrys swore and held onto her, unable to look away as she shone.
Delphi slumped back against him, breathing heavily. Tenebrys petted her, running his hands over her in soothing strokes.
"You're magic," he said, holding out her arms to study the light. "It's so beautiful. You are so beautiful."
Delphi reached her arms up and around his neck, burying them in his mane. "I've never come so hard in my life. I thought it was only some weird thing in my dream that made me light up."
"I suppose it's something you'd better get used to," Tenebrys mused, turning his head to kiss her arm.
"Oh? You think so?"
"As my mate, if you don't do it every time, then I'm not working hard enough to please you," he replied honestly.
Delphi laughed softly. "I don't know if that sounds like a threat or not."
"It's only the truth," Tenebrys said, trailing his fingers over her damp skin. "Are you feeling good?"
"I've never felt better in my life. I can see what you meant by your spur holding your mates. Having it rub against my clit was a religious experience," she replied, with a breathless laugh. "Why?"
Tenebrys smiled darkly and whispered, "Because I haven't come, which means we aren't done yet. And Delphi? That's not what I meant by my spur holding you."
Delphi's little inhale of surprise was the best thing he had ever heard in his life.
