Chapter 4 #2
With that demand, the shadows multiply, one pressing against my entrance as Jayden continues lapping at my breasts.
Shadows wrap around my wrists, holding them above my head.
I yank at the bonds, but they pulse a warning and hold me still.
Jayden’s hands roam over me, caressing my skin as if memorizing me.
Maybe he is. We don’t know how long we’re going to be apart or if we’ll ever see each other again after tonight. A hot tear trails down my cheek, and then Jayden’s electric blue eyes are all I can see.
“None of that. Don’t cry, my love. This is not the end for us.” He licks the tear from my cheek.
“Then why do you look like you’re trying to memorize everything about me?” I yank at the shadowy restraints again.
“Trying to? I don’t need to try and memorize you. I have had every curve of your body memorized since that very first night at the inn on the way to the academy. You are exquisite in every way.” His shadow pushes inside me and a cry escapes my lips at the fullness.
Jayden’s eyes flare at the response to his shadows and he sits back on his heels. His fingers trail a path up the insides of my calves to the backs of my knees and he spreads my thighs wider so he can watch his shadows as they lick my clit.
“I need you,” I say. “Please.”
“You have me. All of me and you always have.” He presses a kiss to my inner thigh so close to where I need his tongue and bites the skin there.
“I need your mouth on me, not just your shadows.” I roll my hips.
Jayden presses a hand to my waist, holding me still against the bed, helpless to do anything but feel as he licks up my slit and circles my clit with the tip of his tongue at the same time his shadows thrust inside of me at a merciless pace.
“Mmm, my shadows are me, baby. I can feel everything they do to you. I taste your sweet juices on my tongue as they lap at you. Fuck, you’re perfect,” he says and sucks my clit between his teeth.
The orgasm thunders through me so unexpected that a scream echoes around the room and a rainbow of colors swirls in my vision. My body trembles beneath his and tiny sparks of lightning crackle along my fingertips.
“Control it, baby, or I’m going to come like a damn teenager,” Jayden groans.
“I can’t.” I pant through gritted teeth.
“Need you to. I don’t want to come in my pants and my shadows are still fucking you through your orgasm, making me harder than granite.”
“Then take off your damn clothes and fuck me already. I need you.” I roll my hips again, making Jayden growl.
“You’re going to be the death of me, baby. Fuck.” Jayden spits the words out and rips his shirt over his head.
Lightning crackles along my fingertips and I yank at his shadows. “I need to touch you.”
“I can’t.” Jayden jumps from the bed.
My brows scrunch down in a frown as he yanks his pants off along with his boxers and his huge glistening cock springs free. I lick my lips at the sight of him as he crawls toward me.
“Stop looking at me like that, love. I won’t last if you keep it up.”
“How am I looking at you?” I cock my head to the side with a sultry smile.
“Like you want to devour me. I’m the only one doing any devouring right now.” He grips my hips and yanks my body to his.
“I do want to devour you, but that will have to wait for another time, won’t it?” I ask.
“Yes. I need you pulsing around my cock right this second.” Jayden lines his cock up with my entrance and eases in torturously slow, inch by inch.
“Jayden, move,” I growl.
He thrusts inside of me hard and fast and a garbled cross between a gasp and a scream tears from my throat.
“Gods, you feel so good. So fucking mine,” Jayden growls and pulls out, slamming back inside me.
“Yes,” I hiss. “I need to touch you.”
I yank at his shadows again with a growl but Jayden’s lips slam down on mine. His tongue presses between my lips to battle with mine and the shadows slither down my arms, freeing my wrists from his grasp.
I grip his shoulders, my nails digging into his skin as he thrusts harder and faster. My magic swirls inside me, sparking with heat as my climax builds. Jayden lifts me up and his shadows slide down my back and lower over my ass.
“You ready to come for me again, my love?” His shadows press against my ass, stretching me.
I wrap my arms around his neck and bury my face in the crook of his neck as he lifts me up, pulling me off him before slamming my body back down on him. His shadows continue their assault on my back entrance and my head falls back on a moan.
“I’m so full,” I cry out.
“That’s right. You’re taking me so well, baby. Fuck, you’re amazing.” Jayden thrusts up into me.
He picks up his rhythm, thrusting hard and fast. His shadows pulse inside my ass, only heightening every sensation.
Stars burst behind my eyes. I bury my face in Jayden’s neck.
My teeth scrape along the intricate mark that appeared there after our mate bond solidified.
Jayden shudders under the scrape of teeth.
“I’m gonna come,” I whisper against his skin.
“Come for me, my love. Milk my cock as you scream my name.” Jayden licks the mark on my neck.
Lightning arcs in my veins as a scream of ecstasy explodes out of me.
My back hits the mattress and Jayden cages me with his arms on either side of my head. My legs are locked around his waist as his movements become erratic.
“Magic. Control it,” Jayden grinds out.
“I can’t.” Lightning crackles along my fingertips as I grip his shoulders, and a low groan escapes him.
Jayden’s fingers dig into my hips so hard I will have bruises in the morning. He thrusts so deep my back arches, brushing our chests together, and my orgasm climbs higher.
“Beth,” Jayden roars as his orgasm tears through him.
He presses his face in the crook of my neck, harsh breaths fluttering my sweat-soaked hair as we both come down from our pleasure.
“I love you so much, Jayden. I don’t know how I’m going to do this without you.” I wrap my arms around his neck, tugging him closer.
“I wish you didn’t have to, my love, but our fates are sealed, and we are on different paths, both leading to destruction.”
