Chapter 11 #2
His shadows pulse around me, slipping inside my pants, and a moan escapes Jayden’s lips as he grips my hair, yanking me off his cock. I lick my lips as we lock gazes.
“You’re so fucking wet for me, aren’t you, my love?” Jayden pulls me up into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist. “Does that make you wet, love? Having that kind of control over me? Knowing that just your hands and mouth on me can make me lose control?”
“Yes,” I moan.
In two long strides, Jayden is next to the bed. His lips crash down on mine as he lowers me onto the plush mattress.
“My turn to make you come apart,” he says against my lips. “Lose all control for me, baby.”
Jayden trails kisses down my neck, over my collarbone, paying particular attention to my hard nipples before moving down to my jeans.
Deft fingers pop the button free, and he slides them achingly slow down my legs, kissing my hip, then thigh as he pulls them and my underwear down my body and throws them to the side.
My body shudders under his hands as they slowly glide up my legs to my inner thighs. He pushes my legs apart and his blue eyes glow as he stares down at my soaked pussy.
“Jayden,” I whimper. “I need you.”
“You already have me, my love. All of me. That’s why you don’t need to suck my soul from my body because it already belongs to you. It has from the moment I first laid eyes on you.” He lowers his head and presses a kiss to my hip and then the other.
“I love you. So fucking much,” I moan.
He peppers kisses all over my pelvis but not where I need him most until a whine of frustration bursts from my lips. Jayden’s teeth scrape against my inner thigh and a groan explodes from his lips. His mouth slams down on my pussy, sucking my clit into his mouth so hard stars burst in my vision.
My back arches and a scream of absolute release is ripped from my lungs. Tremors rack my body and lightning crackles along my fingertips. Jayden grins at me, his mouth wet with my release. He crawls up my body and wraps my leg around him high on his hip, positioning his cock at my entrance.
“You taste like Elysium and mine.” He slams his mouth down on mine at the same time he thrusts inside me all the way to the hilt.
“Jayden, fuck, oh gods,” I cry as my orgasm climbs again.
“You’re sparking all over me, love. Your magic wants to come out and play,” Jayden groans. “Touch me.”
Lightning crackles along my fingers as I run them down his neck and over his chest. Jayden pulls out and slams back inside with a growl, hitting that spot inside, and I burst like a dam. The sparks turn white and grow larger as I press my palms into his chest and lower to his abs.
“Fuck, Beth, I’m not gonna last, you feel so fucking good. Your magic is burning me from the inside out in the best possible way.” His thrusts lose their rhythm as he pounds into me, hitting that spot with every thrust.
“Jayden,” I scream as my magic swirls around us, matching his shadows in a dance of light and darkness until he comes with a roar worthy of any shifter.
Jayden slumps on top of me before rolling to the side, tiny aftershocks still convulsing through my limbs as I heave in a breath.
“I didn’t hurt you, did I?” I ask. “That was a lot of electricity.”
“No, your magic can’t hurt me. It was too good, and I think I may die from the experience alone.” He chuckles.
“Could you imagine your dad asking if you died a hero and you have to tell him that you died from a literal explosive orgasm?” I giggle.
Jayden pulls me into his arms, still twitching from his release, and kisses my forehead. “He would probably congratulate me and send me back.”
“Yeah, that sounds like Hades.” I shake my head.
“You need rest, love,” Jayden says when I yawn.
“I don’t want to spend the last few hours I have with you before you go into battle asleep, Jayden.” I bury my face in his chest.
“I know, but you need the rest, and I don’t have long before I have to be back to receive the reinforcements.” Jayden tightens his hold on me. “You were just in a battle of your own with more to come. You need to take care of yourself.”
“Fine.” I lay my head over his heart. “Will you still be here when I wake up?”
“I don’t think I can be. Hermes was specific. Just know I love you more than my own life and I will see you again soon,” he whispers into my hair.
“I love you too, Jayden. More than anything. Please come back to me.”
“I will always come back to you. Nothing in this world or the next can ever keep me away from you.” He rubs a soothing hand over my back.
His fingers glide through my hair, lulling me to sleep, but I blink my eyes open. I don’t want him to leave again. Is this a cruel test from Apollo now? Send Jayden here to see if I will choose others’ lives over my own comfort? Send Jayden into the unknown where we can’t protect each other?
“I can practically hear your brain racing, love. If you didn’t have me blocked, I would get a mind full, wouldn’t I?”
“How cruel is this to give us so little time before everything goes to shit?” I mumble.
“He gave us a gift we weren’t expecting. Just because it hurts doesn’t mean his intentions were good.”
“The path to hell was paved with good intentions, Jayden.” I shake my head. “It feels like another test to see what I’ll do. If I will give you up for the good of everyone else.”
“Maybe, or maybe they’re testing me this time. I’m the one making this choice, but I know you would make the same one in a heartbeat. I have to go back. I can be the difference the academy needs, and I have to do it. What’s more? I trust you to make it through this and come back to me.”
“Okay.” I sigh. “I can see that. This isn’t my choice to make.”
“Sleep, love. I’ll see you at the end of this battle and we’ll beat the queen together.”
“I hope so.” I yawn. “Good night, Jayden.”
He rubs my back in soothing circles, and I drift to sleep wondering if we can really do this. Can we really defeat the queen and have our happy ending?
