Chapter 19
CHAPTER NINETEEN
Nico
I couldn't sleep, and for once it wasn't because I was plagued by guilt. No, this time it was because I could feel my magic trying to act out, and keeping a hold on it so it didn't send the entire camp into an orgy was becoming increasingly difficult.
When I'd been a guilty, miserable fuck, my sex drive had been non-existent, but despite the barriers between the two of us, Ama and I were now on a pathway to something more. And unfortunately, my magic was convinced that something more would result in sex.
Not that I expected that because I would be perfectly happy with even a smidge of Ama's attention.
Hell, even a kiss at this point would be a fucking blessing.
My magic didn't agree with that, though.
It wanted to caress every inch of her body, extracting all the breathy gasps and moans she was capable of.
I groaned and buried my head in the pillow beneath me, my cock uncomfortably hard because somehow, Ama's soft breathing from across the tent, where she was wrapped up between Colt and Damien, was turning me on.
The worst part? I couldn't even fucking jack myself off.
At least at the Summit when she’d been driving me mad, I could jerk myself off to the idea of being buried inside of her, but here? Nope. I was just stuck in a tent with a bunch of guys who wanted Ama as much as I did.
I was glad I'd come to terms with the future that lay before us...
but I could really use alone time with her.
Not only because I wanted to devour every inch of her body, but also because I knew without a doubt that we had things we needed to talk about.
A lot of shit actually, and everything inside of me was urging me to do so before the damned battle tomorrow.
I needed Ama to know how I truly felt.
Muttering a curse, I slipped from the bed and walked outside.
The ledge we were on looked out towards the battlefield for tomorrow and the capital.
The lights were vibrant from across the way, and I realized that, despite what it currently represented, it was absolutely stunning—a beautiful kingdom filled with ugly people.
I shook my head and sat with my legs over the cliffside, the tents of our army dotting the ground below.
Almost everyone was sleeping, and the quiet night wind was warmer than normal, wrapping around me and carrying Ama's scent from the tent.
I knew others were mixed in with that, but hers always stood out to me the most.
It was a floral scent that almost smelled smoky and burnt. I absolutely loved it.
"Nico?" Ama's soft voice had me snapping my head around, and I couldn't help the smile that lit my face seeing how sleepy she looked.
Her hair was a bit messy, tangled in her horns, and she was wearing a large shirt that draped to her knees.
I had to assume it was one of ours, her bare legs distracting me as I tried to not focus on the desire running rampant under my skin.
It was almost impossible, but it was easier if I focused on how fucking beautiful she was with the moonlight reflecting off her skin and her hazy gaze as she came to sit next to me.
"Hey," I intertwined our fingers and brushed my lips over the soft skin there, feeling for the first time that I had the ability to touch her more openly. That I could reach out and I wouldn't be rejected.
Ama blushed as she surprised me by moving onto my lap, my fingers sliding over her hips as I leaned back slightly so she wasn't so close to the edge.
Of course, both of us had wings, so I wasn't too worried, but the protective instinct she brought out in me was telling me to roll us so she was safe and underneath me.
I didn't risk it, though, because despite her being able to tell how hard I was, she seemed perfectly content in my lap and was looking at me with so much affection that it left me breathless. I didn’t want to ruin this moment between us.
"Couldn't sleep?" she asked softly, her fingers running through my hair as I practically fucking purred, leaning into it. I hadn't been around Ama for a very long time now, so I was still learning things about her, but sleepy Ama was pretty fucking adorable.
"Yeah," I shrugged, "lots on my mind."
Like you pinned underneath me as I ravage your tight little body...and I really needed to get control over myself. Fucking shit.
Concern shaded her eyes, and her brows pinched together, "About everything earlier, or..."
It took me a moment to realize she thought I was thinking about the group conversation and everything between us.
It was enough of a shock that it had me hating the idea of her doubting my feelings after all of this.
So much so that I rolled us until she was pinned beneath me. I needed to take control of this.
"Nico," she breathed, clearly feeling how hard I was, especially now that my cock was cradled right against her pussy.
Through the white shirt, I could see her hardened nipples, which had my mouth nearly watering.
I swallowed and leaned down to put my forehead against her collarbone, letting out a slow, even breath.
"Not about everything earlier," I denied quietly. "Just you. Always about you, Ama, and how much I want you...in all ways."
"In all ways?" she murmured as I looked up, seeing her face flushed and eyes dilated. Her Succubus magic was brushing over my skin, making it even harder to focus, though I’d somehow managed to keep my power under wraps so far.
Although, how long that would last was completely up in the air with how hard it was fighting to be released and have its way with Ama.
"All ways," I breathed out, unsure of how to explain that further.
"I know this hasn't been easy between us...
fuck, I am anything but easy. But I meant what I said.
I am absolutely crazy about you, Ama. I know it's not easy to love me, and yet somehow, you do.
I will forever feel like the luckiest bastard alive because of that. "
Ama's face, despite being filled with heat, also displayed every emotion, especially her sadness, "I was so...sad doesn't seem like the right word. Heartbroken? I was heartbroken when I thought you were rejecting me, Nico—"
"I was so fucking stupid," I groaned, wanting to punch my past self in the mouth until my teeth fell out and I couldn’t say any of those ugly words to her. "I promise I will be making it up to you, even if it takes an eternity."
Ama let out a soft giggle, "Alright, well eternity doesn't seem--Nico!" A surprised gasp slipped from her mouth as I sat back and pushed up her oversized shirt, running my fingers along the soft skin of her thigh. Her gaze darkened and her breath caught.
"Let me make it up to you," I demanded softly.
Ama wiggled beneath me, the shirt moving higher, and I looked down to see that she wasn't wearing any fucking panties.
Damn this woman. I let out a pained sound and looked back up at her to see the way she was staring at me with pure need.
Unlike my power, hers was completely out and trying to seduce and urge my own out.
I was so tempted to give in to it...but I needed this to be about her. Completely about her.
"Please?" I wouldn't touch her unless she wanted, but I could practically smell how fucking wet she was, making my cock strain against my pants as I gripped her thighs tighter.
"Yes—" Her response cut off in a moan as I immediately delved between her legs.
I let out a low, feral noise as her taste hit my lips, and it became increasingly clear how ready she was for me, my tongue running up her slit as her thighs fell completely open.
The small whimper that escaped her lips caused me to dive deeper into devouring her, wanting to pull those noises more from her.
I wanted to hear her moan my name, and if that meant the entire camp being woken by it, all the fucking better. Let them know how much I could satisfy my mate.
When I sucked on her little clit, she nearly shot up, but I managed to push her back to the ground, pinning her there with a heavy arm over her hips. I kept up my tortuous pace, going fast and then slow, the flicks of my tongue alternating with sucking on her swollen clit.
Her breathing was uneven, and her skin was broken out into a flush that, paired with the tremble working its way through her, told me she was close to coming.
I pressed my tongue into her as she cried out my name, and her fingers sank into my hair, holding me against her wet pussy as I tongue fucked her little hole.
I wasn't embarrassed to admit that I nearly came myself when she cried out my name in a breathless voice and came against my mouth.
I groaned, licking up her wet heat, as I felt my magic bang against the cage I'd locked it in.
I didn't care if I was hard for the rest of my life if it meant I got to bring her this type of pleasure.
I wanted Ama more than my next breath, but I wanted her pleasure and her happiness far more.
It was a feeling I'd never experienced before.
"Holy shit," Ama leaned up on her arms, her eyes wild. "Your mouth should be illegal, Nico."
I barked out a laugh and didn't even try to stop her as she rolled us, the moonlight shining down on us as she rocked against me, her naked form under the shirt making me want to sink into her, just so I could watch how glorious she looked being fucked like this.
When she unbuttoned my shirt, I was distracted enough that I didn't stop her until she was on the last button, looking over my body eagerly.
"Ama," I groaned, as she ran her fingers up my chest. "That's not a good idea. Trust me, my magic is locked down right now...but barely."
"I don't want it locked down." She nibbled her lip and ran her fingers along the waist of my pants. "I want to feel all of it...all of you, Nico."
This woman was going to fucking kill me.
