Chapter 10
Chapter Ten
*Him*
After she showed him the marvels of a contemporary human kitchen, she escorted him regally into the room for living. He was not really sure if that meant they had a chamber dedicated to the dead as well, but he held his tongue. There would be time for her to explain such things.
They sat on a plush leather seat together, and she flicked on a magic box which showed them small plays in vivid color.
He tried to follow her explanation of the box, but quickly tuned out the details in favor of simply watching her.
She spoke with great animation, which would make her a terrific educator.
She wanted him to understand, but he just wanted to stare at her. She was lovely.
She went to change her clothes while he watched the corn pop in the microwave machine. It happened so quickly! It was a testament to human vitality that they created so many things to speed actions. Their lifespans were short. It made sense they would want to get the most out of the time they had.
He smiled, wondering what Halo's response would be when he told her that her lifespan would lengthen to match his.
Elemental bondings with humans were rare, but not unheard of, and his people were well aware of the changes it would have for the human mates.
She would never have full magic at her disposal, but soon, after she accepted the bond, she would have access to his powers in their entirety.
Already, she was showing signs of his immunity to the cold.
They watched a film on the magic box that completely misrepresented the Fae, but was creative nonetheless.
Yet what he most enjoyed watching was her delight in it.
She proclaimed it to be one of her favorites.
At the conclusion of the film, she jumped into his lap.
Clapping and bouncing, she kissed him, and then got more comfortable straddling his legs.
"What did you think?" Her exuberance stirred him both emotionally and anatomically.
The moment she understood his physical reaction, her eyes darkened, and she licked her lips. Slowly, she rocked her hips forward, creating a delicious friction between the two of them and eliciting a small gasp from him.
"I…" He could not finish, as she tested the movement again.
He fisted her loose-flowing locks in his hand and pulled her face to his. Crushing her lips in a frenzied kiss, he struggled to maintain control of his magic. Halo began to rock in a slow, delicious rhythm, and all thoughts of control fled him.
Her hands traced down his chest, and she laughed as a flurry broke out above them.
She stopped her exploration at the waistband of his pants just barely touching him as she drew her finger across his lower abdomen.
Hungry to touch every inch of her, he snaked his hands around her and up the back of her loose-fitting shirt.
Stroking the soft skin of her back, he growled into her mouth with pleasure.
She was perfect. She was his. Perfect and his.
She pulled away just enough for him to nibble down her neck, and when he got to the bend of her shoulder, he bit down with more pressure.
She moaned, rocking harder against him, and muttered, "Bedroom."
He stood, wrapping her legs around his waist, and followed her outstretched hand toward a door down the hallway.
Unable to resist, he continued to bite along her neck.
Her top flew away in one smooth move, and laying her back on her bed, he took one perfect breast into his mouth.
She moaned again, and when he clamped his teeth down on her, she cried out in climax.
Smiling to himself, as her eyes were closed, he edged down the bed and peeled her shorts away.
"More, Frost. More." She panted as a flurry of snowflakes danced across her chest, melting in the aura of heat radiating from her.
Finally able to see all of her prone form, bare as the goddess intended, his heart swelled. The trust she had in him had his magic begging to be given full reign.
Soon.
He pulled back, needing a clear head before they went too far.
"Love, I want you to understand what the bond means.
" She growled at his retreat and stuck out a sensuous pout as he knelt beside the head of the bed.
"It is permanent, love. It is a way of pledging our lives to one another.
Elementals live much longer than humans.
Barring harm to our bodies, we could potentially live forever. "
His heart clenched as she sat up. The next moments would define his future.
"If I complete the bond with you, my magic within you will extend your life to match mine. You will outlive your family and everyone you know." He had to warn her. "And you will die when I die."
She slipped off the bed, sliding into his lap. She took his face in her hands and smiled. "Frost. I don't want to live without you. Of course, I'll die with you. But more importantly, I'll live with you."
She closed the tiny gap between them and kissed him until he didn't know which way was up.
She led him back to the bed, and somehow, coaxed him out of his clothes as well.
Or maybe he magicked them away. He didn't really care.
Wrapped in one another's arms, their hands roamed one another, exploring and discovering all there was to find.
"I've never done this before," she murmured as he lowered his face toward her breasts.
He hummed in response and nipped his way down her. Stopping momentarily to circle her navel with his tongue, he drew her legs apart and crawled backward. He continued his trail of biting and licking past her hip and swirled his magic to tease her breasts.
"Oh, Frost!" she cried out as he swiped his tongue across her core. He loved hearing her say his name, and he hummed his pleasure into her, eliciting several more excited exclamations.
Pulling back, he smiled up at her. "Love, I know that sometimes this hurts. I'm going to do my best to make sure you feel nothing but pleasure."
Lowering his mouth back down to her core, he lost himself in her ecstasy.
