Chapter 18
Rain paced the room with his hands shoved deep in his pockets, feeling like he was coming apart at the seams. He’d waited until they reached his chambers before confronting Ivy about Julian, but the walk back had been torture—every step feeding the storm in his head.
Something was happening between them, something he hadn’t seen, and the not-knowing had eaten him alive.
What he hadn’t expected was her confession. They shared feelings for one another. And worse; she had shared Julians bed two nights ago. Igna must have known.
The hypocrisy wasn’t lost on him. He had no moral high ground.
He was the one who told her she was free to do as she pleased.
He was the one who’d let himself fall for Jay.
Did she do anything wrong? Yes. No. Maybe.
Logic didn’t matter. He was angry, hurt, sad, and so painfully fucking jealous he could barely breathe.
“Rain.” Ivy’s voice cracked. “Please… calm down and sit with me. Please.”
He stopped pacing. Her cheeks were streaked with tears, makeup smudged in dark trails down her cheeks. Ivy didn’t cry. Ivy didn’t get vulnerable. And he didn’t get jealous. Whatever cosmic switch had flipped between them, he wanted it turned off immediately.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered for what felt like the hundredth time.
“Ivy, you don’t have to keep apologising. You don’t owe me anything.” His voice softened as he took her hand, sitting beside her. The anger drained, leaving only despair. “I want to kill the bastard or at least rip his tiny dick off, but I don’t blame you. I pushed you toward this.”
“It’s not his fault either,” she murmured.
“I know, fuck I know. But it would make me feel better if it was.” He offered a tight–lipped smile.
“And it’s not so tiny. Not as big as you, but…” she teased weakly, knowing they shared the same twisted humour.
“I know. I had it inside of me before you did.” He countered.
They both snorted, collapsing back onto the bed.
Rain opened his arms and she curled into him, and suddenly he was terrified to let her go.
His chest ached; he’d felt the torment of heartache through others before, but being the source of it was something else entirely.
Ivy sniffled and wiped a tear with the back of her hand, smearing more makeup.
“Oh gods, I’m a mess,” she groaned as she spotted the black smudge, burying her face in his chest.
He kissed the top of her head. “You’re still the most enchanting being on this planet.”
She lifted her head, moving closer until their faces were level.
“I love you,” she said, her aura trembling with vulnerability.
His chest tightened painfully. He cupped her face, brushing away a tear with his thumb.
“I love you too,” and he meant it; without conditions, without expectations. Just truth. He loved her in some twisted way he couldn’t quite understand.
He leaned in and kissed her. Soft at first, then deeper, hungrier, neither of them wanting to pull away.
She shifted, trying to straddle him, but her dress caught and she huffed in frustration.
Rain laughed, realising the problem and spun her beneath him.
Shifting his weight between her thighs, he grabbed handfuls of the fabric and ripped it away.
The dress tore from the slit at her thigh all the way up to the seam at her waist,
Ivy’s gasped, about to protest his destruction, but was cut short by Rain’s heated groan.
She wasn’t wearing any underwear. His cock ached at the sight.
Ivy laid bare before him, legs parted giving a full view of her pussy.
He couldn’t recall the last time he wanted her, so fucking badly. Not, without the aid of her power.
But fuck, he wanted to devour her.
His slid hands down her thighs, his eyes honed on her desire. Another hungry groan escaped his lips as he claimed her clit with his tongue. Prepared to eat her delicious pussy into submission.
Ivy wasn’t having any of it, after today, she needed him inside.
Tugging a handful of hair, she pulled him back up into a kiss.
Ignoring his disgruntled sounds, she caged him with her legs and began blindly unbuttoning his shirt.
Her fingers shifting to his fly as he shrugged the shirt off.
Her hand was gripping him, working his length before he had the chance to push down his trousers
She bit her lip mischievously, at his groan of approval.
“Get those pants off and get inside me. Now,” Ivy commanded. She didn’t need to ask twice. Pulling away he stripped naked, as she released herself from the remains of the emerald dress.
He was back on her in seconds.
Kissing hungrily, their hands worshipped every curve and muscle, savouring one another.
“I need you.” Ivy whimpered. A tingle of her power swept his spine, enhancing their shared desperation.
“Fuck,” Rain groaned, his control dropping, cocooning them in shared emotions.
Ivy’s pulse raced with renewed excitement.
“Yes! Let me feel us. Please Rain.” She begged breathlessly, grinding against his solid cock. “Let me in.”
He obeyed with an appreciative moan. Keeping his channel wide open, he released his hold on their emotions. Her eyes widened, her heart stalling as she experienced the rawness of his emotions.
Feeling too vulnerable, he slid the tip of his cock into her entrance, thrusting her attention back to the physical. Their moans sang out harmoniously, shifting the energy of the room. Caught in a web of sensation, they moved instinctively, barely capable of conscious effort.
Ivy’s arms and legs wound around him, her heels anchoring him inside as she clung to his muscular shoulders. His thrusts were slow and sensual, edging them deeper into one another. Rain’s tongue, nudged between her lips, teasing and gentle, enhancing their arousal.
Ivy released a slow stream of her power, as she arched her back allowing his length to reach deep inside.
The sheets knotted in his fists as deep desire hummed through his body.
Giving her complete control of the pace through the amount of power she released.
Starting with a strong slow rocking of hips, pumping his full length into her, gradually building up momentum.
When she was ready for more, she released her power to full throttle. She clung to him as he pounded harder and faster, her body floating above the bed as he carried her weight, bouncing her on his cock.
Screams of pleasure filled the room as their flesh pounded together, both lost to the energy coursing through them.
Ivy managed to pull back her power mere moments before the build of a release, crashing them down onto the bed.
Rain quickly adjusted his weight, paving nibbled kisses down her neck and chest as they regained their breath.
The mood shifted back to slow intentional movements; their lips and tongues locked in a soft sensual kiss. Their bodies moving instinctively together. Rain's pelvis ground against her swollen bud as her hips rotated to meet him, his throbbing tip hitting precisely where she needed it.
Romantic feelings of longing, love, lust, want and need swirled through them and around them. The emotional current expanding through the entire west wing of the palace. Neither of them cared.
Ivy pulled away from their kiss, a devilish glint in her eye as she pushed him back, trapping him between her thighs.
Keeping him inside she twisted their position.
Adjusting to straddle him, she sat up tall, radiating sexual confidence.
Rain groaned at the sight, his hand sliding between her full breasts pausing at her heart as he admired her captivating beauty.
Gods, she is gorgeous.
His eyes roamed over her body, locking on her seductive gaze as his fingers laced around her neck.
Holding her in place he impatiently thrust up into her, relishing in the gasp it wrung from her.
Meeting the challenge, she ground down hard in response, her delicious body rolling as her hips glided fluidly.
Her name came spilling from his lips in a round of moans as she moved sinfully over him.
His cock throbbed as her hands gripped around his wrist for support, she began to rise and fall, faster and harder, again and again.
Power pulsed through her fingertips, bringing them both closer to the edge. Rain, released her neck, wrapping his toned arm around her waist to hold her in place. He pounded his thick cock, relentlessly into her. Dominating her.
Mine.
He all but growled, the energy engulfing them both.
Ivy’s sweet moans sung out in submission as she clung to his shoulders. They felt everything. Every ridge of his cock as she felt it. Every cushioned clench of her pussy, swallowing him whole. Every shared pleasure. Every shared desire.
Mine.
The only thought penetrating through the intoxication, a joint resolution.
As tension built inside Rain, Ivy’s body answered in a chain reaction.
Lost to each other their bodies moved solely on instinct.
Their moans sounded uncontrollably. It was impossible to decipher who felt what or where one began and the other ended.
Their bodies moved on autopilot as their orgasms ignited simultaneously.
Ivy trembled as she squirted her release, while Rain tensed into his.
With four final sharp thrusts he began to fill her, but their shared release wouldn’t allow it to end there.
An onslaught of releases cascaded out of them.
Waves of pleasure rippled through them, their loud moans swallowed by messy needy kisses.
Her pussy clenching and milking every drop out of him, until they were both, well and truly beyond spent.
Rain’s grip on her waist eventually loosened, he flopped down onto the bed, exhausted.
Ivy followed sprawling helplessly across his chest. Catching his breath, he pulled back his energy, letting Ivy come back into her own body.
They lay entwined for a while, their hearts settling back into their natural rhythm.
Rain gently stroked feather-light touches along Ivy’s back as she nuzzled into him.
He kept his channel open; he needed to feel her, wanted to know what was on her mind.
Despite what they’d just shared, he was nervous to know where her thoughts may roam now that everything was out in the open.
She felt lethargic and content but there was a similar note of nervous energy within her.
He pulled her closer instinctively and she nuzzled deeper into his neck in response.
“That is what I missed last time.” She finally said, breaking the silence.
A smile grew on his lips; he knew what she meant.
If anything could be said about their compatibility, there was no denying that their powers combined produced the most incredible sex.
Her sexual energy alone made it more than an adequate experience with any partner; she had them at her mercy, eager to please her at any cost.
Combined with his ability, amplifying the shared experience and incorporating their emotions took it to the extreme.
There would never be anything more satisfying.
He laced his fingers around her neck, tilting her jaw to face him and kissed her like his life depended on it.
He channelled his emotions back into her, to ensure she knew exactly how he felt in this moment.
Whatever tomorrow brought with it, tonight he was hers.
