17. Eve #3
My desperation to come may be twisting my mind, but the truth settles in my blood—our bond. It strengthens in my chest, binding us together permanently. I feel his heart beating alongside mine. The threads of souls weave together.
He slides a finger into me.
“Harven,” I gasp before I can think.
My body goes still. Harven’s smile is all teeth as he nuzzles into my neck.
“No need to fear, little mate. You sucked my cock so well, you’ve earned the right to call me by my name.”
“Merciful king,” I quip.
His teeth bite into my neck. Come morning, I’m going to be a mess of bite marks and tentacle hickeys.
“Watch it. I’ve been wanting to fuck that attitude out of you since you got here.” His tongue licks over the fresh bite with relish. “Scream my name loud enough for the whole castle to hear.”
Licking down my body, he teases both of my breasts before licking into my navel. His lips travel across my hips before he settles between my legs. His beard teases the sensitive skin of my inner thighs. Tentacles wrap around my legs, locking them in place and lifting my hips back.
I’m completely bare to his hungry gaze. The pink flesh of my pussy glistens. I prop up on my elbows to take in the carnal sight.
His mouth falls onto my flesh with a groan.
My head falls back as he devours my pussy with devastating strokes. Pleasure compounds within me. The almost orgasm from before swirls with the new peak he’s pushing me towards.
His slick muscle tastes me from clit to whole. Alternating between biting and sucking, he works me into a frenzy. My hips lift as he pushes his tongue inside me. I rock myself against his face, chasing my climax.
Gripping my waist, he grinds me against him. My clit bumps his nose as he tastes me fully. I’m so sensitive the pleasure is almost painful. His fingers dig into my sore ass, deepening the well of my arousal.
“Harven,” I slur. “It’s so good.”
His lips are glossy with my arousal as he presses a kiss to the top of my pussy.
“Sweeter than wine, softer than silk—hotter than the sun. You’re perfect everywhere, Eve.” He kisses my wet flesh again. “This pretty cunt will consume my every thought.”
“It has that effect on people.”
Harven nips my clit, earning a throaty moan. A finger tucks into my entrance. With three shallow thrusts, my peak looms closer.
My nails score his back.
“How can it feel this good, Harven? I’ve never felt like this before. With anyone.”
His eyes blaze with golden fire. He slips a second finger into me, scissoring them exactly how I like without even having to tell him.
“Because you are my mate, Eve.” A tentacle replaces his fingers, sliding in deeper than before. “Say it.”
The tentacle is a preamble to his cock.
The appendage fills me to the brim. The suckers skim along my hypersensitive inner walls. It nuzzles against my G-spot. My vision darkens.
Harven’s fingers push against my sore ass.
“Say it, Eve. I won’t ask again.”
“My mate,” I breathe. “Harven. Make me come. Make me yours.”
His tentacle retreats, then thrusts back in. His tentacle leaves me in want of his cock. I need to feel his come inside me, spilling down my thighs.
I want it so badly.
I withstand his thrusts. A separate tentacle begins worrying my clit. Harven’s hands stay locked on my hips as I absorb more of his body into me.
The sloppy wet sounds come from my pussy, heightening my pleasure. The room smells of sex and Harven’s wonderful scent.
“Apologize for fighting me, Eve.”
His tentacle pauses and I nearly sob.
“I’m sorry,” I say in a rush.
I’m rewarded by a particularly deep thrust.
“Say you’ll never do it again. Never deny me what’s mine.”
“Never,” I vow.
The words pull from the deepest parts of my heart. It’s my voice, but it sounds unfamiliar. These promises and feelings belong to the new Eve who was born in this bed. The questions and burdens from the past have been wiped away.
Harven’s dominance has awoken the real me. It’s given me the clarity I need. This is my new life. I’m giving myself over to it. That doesn’t mean I won’t push back on Harven, but I’m not going anywhere.
I want to let him take me and have heirs with him. I want us to be a family. We can work out the details concerning his Pearls later. All I want is him.
I’m choosing to believe his words when he says I’m the most important thing to him. It’s evident in the way he looks at me—how he holds me.
I have to trust that this is the right choice.
His tentacle fucks me without mercy. Others wrap around my breasts as Harven kisses my throat. He nips at my pulse, and my fate is decided.
I want to be his queen. A real one. I don’t want it to be a title he bestows on the mother of his heirs. Harven’s stressors are endless. I want to be his partner in court matters. To support him beyond the physical.
I want to be the keeper of his heart. He already owns mine.
I’ve given my heart and soul to him in this bed, whether he knows it or not. So much for self-preservation. That’s a problem for tomorrow’s Eve.
A tentacle suctions to my clit as his tentacle pounds me.
“Come, Eve.”
I obey without question.
A scream tears from my lips. Harven’s name echoes around the room and into the hall. My muscles snap tight as white-hot pleasure envelopes me. Black dots mar my vision. My toes curl in the air as my fingernails shred his back.
I’ve never come so hard in my life.
Harven slips his tentacle from me as his mouth comes down on mine. I shudder with aftershocks. My body feels limp, thoroughly wrung out. I can hardly reciprocate his kisses.
I taste my pleasure on his tongue.
Unbinding me, Harven pulls us up the bed until we rest atop the pillows.
His fingers trail circles over my sweaty skin.
My heart is ready to beat out of my chest. I curl into his chest, seeking comfort after everything that’s happened.
Harven welcomes me with whispered praise and soft kisses on my head.
“Did I please you, my mate?”
I smile against his chest.
“Already seeking compliments?”
“Reassurance.”
It requires all my strength, but the wariness in his voice makes me lift my head. I see the unease brewing in his eyes. He was swept up in our back-and-forth just as I was.
Revealing this side of him to me was a risk. It could’ve spelled disaster if it hadn’t awakened my kindred spirit. We were made for each other.
Our bond glows in agreement.
I offer him my mouth, and he takes it greedily. I’ll never tire of his kisses. Despite my exhaustion, the need for another round rises swiftly.
“You were right, my king. I do need a firm hand.” I stroke the nuzzling appendage at my hip. “Or should I say tentacle.”
Stretching my arms above my head, I smirk as his gaze travels down my naked body. There’s no need to cover myself.
“I’d let you fuck me if I wasn’t about to pass out.”
Experiencing his dominant possession firsthand, I need all my strength to withstand his brutal pounding. Exhaustion creeps up on me as I try to stifle a yawn.
“Good to know, you’re finally amenable to the idea.” His hand traces down my spine. “Rest, Eve.”
His abs bunch as he slides from beneath me. I grip his forearm.
“Don’t go.”
Harven smiles and reaches for the sheet to cover us. He curls around me and lifts my chin. The depth of emotion in his hazy eyes makes me sigh.
“I’m not going anywhere. You’re stuck with me, Eve. Forever.”
Satisfied and content in his arms, sleep hooks its claws into me.
I whisper a word into our perfect moment before the darkness pulls me under. I don’t fear it, now that Harven is mine. I look forward to the challenges it will bring us and all the pleasure we will enjoy.
“Forever.”
