Chapter 24 Slater

“He’s so fucking serious about our studies.” I yawned as I sprawled out over my bed, patting the mattress beside me to invite Rune to come sit.
She rolled her pretty golden eyes, kicking my door shut before strolling over and lying down next to me. “He means well, I’m sure. Besides, we had to finish the historical reconstruction essay tonight.”
“Sure,” I agreed, not really wanting to discuss Dimitri and his perfectionist behavior when it came to studies. I wanted to discuss her. Not just her, but me and her—us.
Her head shared a pillow with mine, and her midnight orchid scent swallowed me.
I inhaled it deeply before blurting out, “I like you.”
Her lips curved before a giggle bubbled out of her. “Really, Havoc baby? I couldn’t tell.”
A low growl seeped out of my throat as I moved, turning sideways to stare at her and propping myself up on my elbow.
I pinned a serious look on her. “I’m serious.
I like you a lot, Rune. I like you more than I’ve liked anyone.
Fates, venom baby, you drive me crazy. You are constantly on my mind, under my skin, and I’ve learned to fucking covet your scent because of how happy and at peace it makes me. ”
Her pupils dilated, and her lips made a little ‘o’ shape. “Slater…I don’t even know what to say to that. I mean, I—”
“Do you like me?” I asked her, point-blank.
“Yes,” she answered, turning on her side to face me. “Liking you is a given, but it’s not just you that I like.”
“I know.” I smirked, my cock thickening as I thought about it. “I could tell by how loud Zuko made you scream last night.”
She bit down on her lip. “So you know that I like him?”
I chuckled. How cute. She was worried. “Yeah, I know. I wasn’t kidding when I told you he was my brother-mate. Koa and that agent, Jesper, too. Fates, even you and Dimitri have that sexual tension brewing.”
She stared at me, wide-eyed, but she didn’t deny it. “Are you okay with that?”
“Venom baby, how many times do I have to tell you that you’re my mate?” I asked her, trying to be patient. Wasn’t I clear enough with my feelings? “I don’t mind sharing you in the slightest if they’re your other mates.”
“And if they’re not?”
A growl tore from my throat as my demon form emerged, chaos magic simmering through my blood at the thought. “You will not be attracted to anyone who isn’t your mate.”
She let out a sad sigh. “If only that were true.”
“You hadn’t met your mates yet. Now, you have,” I assured her, knowing she was thinking of her past relationship. “Once our bond snaps in place, you’ll know.”
“I know I can’t be attracted to anyone but my fated mates after a fated matebond snaps in place, but—”
“But nothing,” I cut her off. “Once you mate one of your fated mates and you’re still attracted to us, you’ll know I’m telling you the truth. I believe in the Fates, and I know they sent me you as a mate.”
“It is possible,” she whispered, staring into my eyes. “I do feel more for you than I ever did for anyone else in the past. The same goes for Zuko, and even for the others you mentioned, and…”
“And?” I prompted, curiosity making my tail flick behind me.
Her gaze flicked on my dark red-colored demon tail. It was forked, but it was soft, like a muscle. I moved it closer to her.
She reached out, trailing a finger down the length of it. She left goosebumps in her wake, and my dick strained against my sweats.
“Fuck.”
“Sorry.” She pulled back slowly, her lips curving in a teasing smile. “Sensitive?”
I snarled, my demonic magic combusting as my claws came out. I rolled on top of her, grabbing her wrists and pinning them to the bed above her head, hovering over her. “Don’t test my restraint, venom baby. I have very little when it comes to you.”
“Prove it, Havoc baby,” she breathed out.
A low moan built in the back of my throat as I stared down at her.
Her green hair was fanned around her beautiful head, and her lips were pouty like she wanted me to kiss her.
Fates, I wanted to kiss her so badly.
“Level with me first,” I bit out. “How do you feel about me? Really?”
“I think you’re right,” she admitted, her golden eyes softening more than I’d ever seen before. “I think you may be my mate.”
That was exactly what I needed to hear.
I descended on her, pressing my lips against her petal-soft ones and moaning at the contact. My claws bit into her wrists, and I quickly loosened my grip as I realized what I was doing.
“Don’t stop,” she gasped, breaking our kiss. “I like it when you’re rough.”
I smiled before I let go of her wrists and cupped her face with my hands, the dark-red claws gently skimming over her cheeks. “I will never hurt you on purpose, venom baby.”
“Not even if I say please?” She turned, licking her own blood from my claw as her hands came down and slid up my chest, tangling in my hair and pulling me into a searing kiss.
I was on top of her, but she was the one in control.
She would always be the one in control.
Our tongues danced together, slicking over each other. I moaned as she wrapped her legs around my waist.
My tail instinctively wound around one of her legs as I ground against her, unable to stop myself. Her arousal smelled so fucking sweet, and it made my magic buzz to the point where every part of my body not touching her ached.
“Rune,” I murmured against her swollen lips. “I need you more than I need to breathe. Tell me I can have you. Tell me you’re mine and I’m yours.”
“I need you, too.” She let out a strangled cry as I hit her clit with my throbbing cock, even with these layers between us.
“Tell me,” I begged her, “Please.”
“I’m yours,” she said, shimming out of her shorts and panties and kicking them off. The fresh scent of her desire hit my nose, and my canines grew from it. “And you’re mine.”
“You can’t take that back,” I rasped, tucking my claw into the front of her shirt and bra before cutting through the front until it fell in tatters onto my bed beneath her. “You said it, so you’re mine and I’m yours. We’re together.”
“We’re together,” she agreed, tucking her fingers into my waistband and helping me push my pants and boxers off, tossing them onto the floor before doing the same with my shirt. “Now, please, Slater, prove how much of me is yours.”
“How much?” A dark chuckle fell from my lips as I let my claws trail down her throat. I grasped her breasts and bent down, sucking one of her nipples into my mouth.
She bowed off the bed with a low moan.
I swirled my tongue around it before popping off. “What do you mean by how much?” I moved to the next one, licking and nipping at the bud of her nipple as I palmed her other breast. “All of you is mine now, venom baby. You said so yourself, didn’t you?”
“Yes!” She cried out as my tail moved between her legs, finding her soaked. “Yours, Slater!”
“And I’m yours.” I moved away from her breast only long enough to remind her before going back.
I slid the length of my tail over her as I sucked and played with her breasts until her body trembled beneath me.
“You’re mine,” she moaned. “Fuck, Slater, please.”
I couldn’t get enough of her moans of pleasure for me.
Not for Zuko.
For me.
“Should I make you wait?” I popped off her nipple and used my claws to play with them as my tail moved over her wet clit.
“No.” She shook her head quickly.
I shifted up until the head of my cock nudged her soaking heat, letting my tail wrap around her thigh. “This is where I’ll mark you when our bond snaps.”
“I’ll bite your thigh, too,” she told me in a breathless tone.
“No.” I froze. “I want to wear your mark with pride. You’ll mark me somewhere everyone can see.”
“Your wrist.” She spread her legs wider for me. “Wherever you want.”
“In that case, I want you to mark my throat. I’ll put my mark somewhere others can see on you too, yeah?” I hummed.
“Yes, you have my full consent to mark me wherever you want, Havoc baby, now please just—”
I pushed my dick in, slowly. I felt myself stretching her as her walls twitched around me.
“Slater,” she let out such a sexy moan, her head fell back.
I filled her completely, and her tight pussy sucked me in all the way until my head hit the end of her.
Fuck.
“You feel even better than I imagined,” I breathed, pleasure taking hold in my bone marrow. “Rune, you’re made for me. Do you feel that?”
My tail held one of her thighs, one clawed hand held the other, and I played with one of her nipples with my free hand, flicking my sharp nail over her nipple gently.
“Yes,” she gasped, her eyes rolling back as she took me.
I thrust hard, pulling in and out, building up a pace that made her body bounce in the hottest kind of way.
My tail tightened until the end of it brushed over her clit, and I shoved deeper inside of her.
I needed to be deeper.
She cried out before grinding against me more, and my control snapped. I thrust into her faster, harder, deeper.
“I can’t fucking wait to mark you,” I told her, feeling the way her muscles clenched around my cock, pulling it deeper.
It was like she didn’t ever want me to let her go.
“Slater!” she moaned before it turned into an uncontrollable scream. Her entire body tensed before shuddering.
Her orgasm rippled through her, extending out to me as I noticed just how beautifully she gave herself over to the pleasure I provided.
“You complete me, Rune.” I thrust one last, deep thrust, burying myself inside of her.
I collapsed onto her body and kissed her deeply.
My release crashed over me with such intensity I couldn’t fucking believe it. I’d dreamed of this moment ever since I locked eyes on her.
For a long moment, we just kissed, drowning in each other’s pleasure and scents as we were locked together. I didn’t know when, but as I was balls-deep, we fell asleep.
She was finally mine, and I wasn’t ever letting her go.
