Chapter 29 #2
I swallow the saliva pooling in my mouth.
“Yes, sir,” I reply, quickly closing the small distance between us to capture his lips in a kiss.
Tavryn licks at the seam of my lips, and I immediately open for him.
I don’t bother fighting for control. I don’t want it.
Tavryn has more than earned it by this point.
I trust him to take care of me, both in bed and out of it.
My hands slide up Tavryn’s back as our tongues dance together, ghosting over the ridges where his wings used to be. It’s a reminder of how strong he is. How much he had to get through to get here. To get to me. He shudders as I wrap a hand around one of his horns and slowly pump it through my fist.
“Stars, Banjo. Yes.” Tavryn nips at my bottom lip. I wish he’d bite me harder, just like he did… when even was that? Long enough ago the mark is starting to fade. I don’t want it to. I want it to be there forever.
I squeeze his horn, using my grip on it to guide his mouth down to my neck. “Bite me again,” I breathe, craning my head to the side to give him plenty of room. Hot puffs of breath tickle my skin. “Right where you did. ‘Cept harder. Wanna wear it forever.”
Tavryn’s hips jerk forward, connecting with mine. I eagerly wrap my free arm around him to keep us locked together at the waist. The friction of my erection rubbing against his is so good, even without lube. I’m leaking enough pre-cum that it won’t be an issue for very long.
“Are you sure?” Tavryn asks. He runs his tongue over the mark on my neck, making me shiver.
“Yes, baby,” I groan, eyes fluttering shut. I know this is going to hurt. But it’s also going to be so, so worth it. “Please don’t make me beg.” I will. We both know it.
“I’ll do it,” Tavryn agrees, nibbling teasingly at my skin. It’s not enough. I need more. Much more. “But you can’t come.”
The whine that leaves me is so loud and high pitched that at first, I think it comes from the ship. Nope. Just me, being the needy little slut I always am around Tavryn. “But I wanna cooooome.”
I rock my hips into Tavryn’s to prove my point. He seems close too, though he’ll be ready to go again immediately. And then, hopefully, he’ll need to go again after that, because I know I won’t be done with him yet. Or ever.
“I’ll let you come,” Tavryn promises me. Before I can say “thank you,” he continues, “once I’m buried inside your tight little hole.” He gives my backside another firm squeeze.
More pitiful whines escape me, and Tavryn slaps my backside in response. Okay, if he’s trying to get me to not come, he’s doing an awful job.
“I told you I was going to let you come tonight.” Tavryn’s words have me zeroing right back into the present, and fast. “Do you have anything to say?”
Oh, I know the answer to that one! “Thank you, sir,” I hum, skimming my thumb over the curve of his horn. “You’re way too nice to me.”
“I know.” Tavryn shoots me a smug little smirk, and I don’t even register he’s moved until his teeth are sinking into my neck.
Pain shoots through me, but it’s quickly overwhelmed by hot, searing pleasure.
I grab my cock as fast as I can, roughly squeezing the base so I don’t come.
I’ve been told what I need to do, and I’m not going to screw it up.
Tavryn, on the other hand, can come whenever he wants.
I whimper when I feel his hot, sticky seed shooting all over my cock.
By this point, I’m nearly strangling myself to hold back my release.
I manage it, barely. I really hope he’s planning on taking me next because I’m not sure I can wait any longer
Tavryn sooths the fresh bitemark with small licks before kissing the spot. “Mm, you taste delicious.” He tilts my head down, meeting my lips in a hungry kiss. I taste the metallicy tang of my own blood on his tongue. It doesn’t turn me off at all. Far from it.
I pump Tavryn’s still-hard cock through my fist, gathering up as much of his release as I can. “You taste good too.” I bring my hand to my lips, slowly licking up the strands of his cum. Tavryn watches me, his pupils so narrow they’ve basically disappeared. “So good. Mm.”
“You’re going to be the death of me, I swear,” Tavryn sighs, kicking the blankets off us. Ooh, that means he’s ready to really get down to business. Maybe I’ll get to come sooner rather than later. “Get me ready. I want your cock inside me.”
Or maybe not. Not that I’m going to complain. Being buried inside Tavryn is one of the greatest things I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. It’s so good it’s almost my preference.
Almost.
“Yes, sir.” I roll him over onto his back, grabbing the lube before settling between his spread legs. The container is almost empty, proving exactly how much we’ve been enjoying our time together.
Hopefully it’s the only thing we’ve reached the end of.
My lips find Tavryn’s again as I work two fingers into him.
His body gives into me so beautifully, like he’s made just for me.
Maybe he is. Maybe that creation story he told me is at least partially true and all Daulkuns do have another half that completes them.
Except instead of his other half being an Aekzuk, they’re human.
It’s kind of nice, thinking that fate brought us together.
If this is fate, then it’s going to work out. That’s just how fate works, right?
“You’re thinking,” Tavryn warns, rocking his hips down against my fingers. I glance up at him. He knows me so well. “Unless you’re thinking about how good it’s going to feel to bury your cock in me, stop.”
“I was just thinkin’ about that story you told me.” Tavryn frowns, tilting his head as he tries to figure out what I’m talking about. “The one about how y’all used to be one bein’.”
“It’s made up,” Tavryn quickly reminds me. A little too quickly.
“Maybe it isn’t,” I suggest. “Maybe it’s kind of true.
You do have another half, but instead of bein’ an Aekzuk, it’s a different type of being.
” I bite my lower lip, suddenly feeling silly.
We’re supposed to be getting out of our heads, and I’m over here going on about something cheesy that doesn’t even matter.
“Nevermind. It’s dumb.” I lean down to kiss him and hopefully save the moment, but Tavryn stops me.
“No,” he says, catching my chin in his hand.
He holds my head steady, looking at me intently.
It makes my heart beat real fast. “I…I like it better that way.” He glances away from me for a second before meeting my eyes again.
“I told you it’s made up because I didn’t want you to think there’s someone out there better for me than you.
There’s no one better. There’s just you. ”
I swear everything stops. No thrum in my heart. No breath in my lungs.
Just this moment hanging between us.
My next word comes out on a sob. “Tavryn.” I can’t do this. I can’t let him go. And I definitely can’t let him go without telling him how I feel. “I lo—”
Before I can get the words out, Tavryn surges up and captures my lips in a messy kiss. Everything I was going to say ends up getting swallowed by him as he licks into my mouth.
I don’t mind. He knows what I was going to say. Maybe he’s not ready to hear it. Or maybe… maybe this is part of the pretending. If neither of us actually says those three words, it won’t be so hard for me to leave when the time finally comes.
Somehow, I know deep in my heart that’s not true. Hearing Tavryn say he loves me isn’t necessary. He’s shown me he loves me so many times, I’ve lost count. Leaving him is going to be hard, no matter if we’ve said it or not.
It might even be impossible.
