43. Chapter 43

“You don’t have to stay. I’m safe. You’ve completed your duty,” I said to my father as he stared at the spot that Calum once stood.
My father looked at me confused before he knelt down before me and bowed his head. “My duty will always be to you, my little bird.”
I knelt down and grabbed his face in my hands. When he looked up, I realized he had tears in his eyes. “They would be so proud if they saw how strong you were,” he said.
“You will always be my father. You always have been,” I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him. A hug from my father had never brought as much comfort to me as this one did. I seemed to finally understand him, and everything he did for me, always for me, on a deeper level.
“No matter what you choose to do,” he said, pulling away from me, “I’ll support you. You can stay here and never think about the Sun Realm again, but if you choose to fight for it, I’d like to be your Commander. If you’ll have me, that is.”
I nodded and smiled at what he offered, but I knew I couldn’t give him an answer just yet. I needed it all to sink in first and allow the fog in my mind to clear before deciding what I wanted to do next.
I stood up, bringing my father with me. “Let’s talk tonight,” I said.
My father nodded.
I turned around to see Adar crouched down with his hand placed on the ground. He let out a deep breath.
“Well, now I have to find another fucking Guard,” Adar grumbled as he turned around, walking back towards the castle. My father squeezed my hand before following Adar.
I was now alone in the field with the one I wanted to get my hands on since the moment I woke up this morning. I ran and jumped into his arms, wrapping my arms tightly around his neck as he held me.
“It’s over, baby. It’s all over,” he mumbled as he nuzzled his face into my neck.
I lifted my head so I could look at him as I said, “Good, because there is something else that needs to be handled right now.”
I couldn’t help myself. After seeing him in his true form, the part of him that he had lost in the last few months, one thing had been on my mind.
“Your power is radiating off of you. Is this how you always are? With this much energy wanting to just explode out of you?”
“Do I scare you, love?” he asked.
I shook my head.
“I’ve wanted to do things. Things I couldn’t do because I was drained of my magic. And the things I’ve wanted to do with you, well, I don’t know if you could handle it.” His eyes darkened as he ran his fingers through my hair. “Now, tell me, do I scare you now?”
I shook my head again as I said, “I don’t want you to hold back.”
He gave me a wicked smile before throwing me towards the ground, but before my body felt the impact, his shadows were under me, making it feel like he had thrown me on a bed.
Bash stood above me, and I watched as his shadows worked in the form of hands to remove the clothing from his body. He stared down at me, cocking his head to the side as he watched me fawn over him. I couldn’t help the way I looked at him. Nothing compared to the sight of my mate, naked, especially when I knew what was to come.
I felt as the shadows that once cradled me on the ground crept up me and began to remove my clothes. I looked down to see they had taken the form of hands, his hands. With every cool touch of the shadows, I was reminded that he felt whatever his shadows felt. I arched my back as the shadows removed my pants and watched Bash’s body tense at what I did.
When his gaze swept over my naked body, I brought my hand to my breast, but before I could squeeze, his shadows grabbed my wrist and pinned it to the ground.
As he stood above me, he shook his head and said, “I’ll be doing the touching.”
I took that as a challenge and brought my other hand between my legs, but in an instant, it was pinned down to the ground also.
He chuckled as he said, “Ever so impatient.”
Shadows swept over my breasts, leaving a tingling sensation everywhere they touched before reaching between my legs. I let out a gasp as what felt like a finger plunged inside of me.
“So wet,” he mumbled, still standing above me, staring down as I writhed under his touch.
Shadows pumped inside of me as some came back up running over my breasts. I stared at Bash as he caressed his length and all I wanted was to do that for him, but I was pinned down.
A shadow hand wrapped around my throat, bringing even more pleasure. I could feel myself coming so close to release as his shadows pumped harder inside of me. I was trying so hard to stop myself as I didn’t want it to end, but when I heard him in my mind say, C ome for me, love, I couldn’t stop myself. I screamed his name as the release tore through me.
Bash knelt down, bringing himself to my ear and whispered, “Good girl.” He trailed kisses down my neck and every time his lips left a spot, shadows lingered, deepening the sensation. When he reached my breast, he placed the nipple in his mouth. With every movement of his tongue, his shadows mimicked the same feeling on my other nipple. He bit down, and I let out a gasp as pleasure radiated through my body.
Bash brought his lips to mine and kissed me deeply as he thrust inside of me. He released the grip on my wrists, and I wrapped my arms around him, clawing at his back.
As he pumped faster and harder inside of me, he hit his hand on the ground and vibrations ripped through the empty battlefield. Release tore through me again and Bash followed not long after.
Nothing. Nothing could ever compare to what Bash did to me.
