Chapter 10
Chapter Ten
Jayden lifts me in his arms again, deciding something he hasn’t shared with me yet, and marches into the bathroom with long purposeful strides. His lips caress the skin of my neck as he reluctantly sets me down on the vanity.
“Jayden? What are you doing?” I ask.
“Taking care of you the way you deserve,” he mumbles almost to himself.
He begins filling the bathtub, grabbing the bath salts and essential oils I have for the rare occasion I have time to soak in the tub. How he knows what to do with it and how much to use is beyond me.
Once the tub is filled, Jayden stands back with his hands on his hips, nodding in satisfaction. My gaze tracks his movements as he stalks back over to me. He lifts me from the vanity and sets me on my feet. His movements are methodical as he grabs my brush and gently runs it through my long hair.
A moan slips past my lips at the gentle way he’s taking care of me. There’s something so sensual about the way he’s brushing through my long strands. How is this man actually mine? He’s so different from the cocky Jayden I first met.
Jayden’s gaze sparks with heat at the sound and he presses closer to my back. “You are so fucking beautiful.”
His warm breath on my neck sends chills down my spine in the best way. If he’s trying to show me how cherished I am, it’s working. He trails a featherlight touch down my back to the clasp of my bra.
My gaze finds his in the mirror as he unclasps my bra. Jayden pulls the straps down my arms slowly, teasingly.
“Look at us in the mirror,” Jayden whispers.
“What?” I ask, turning to him, but a single finger comes up to my chin, turning my head so I’m watching him in the mirror.
Jayden bends and runs his hands down my sides to the waistband of my jeans, tracing the top where the skin is exposed. My breath hitches as his hand splays low on my belly.
“You’re going to watch your own expression in the mirror as you shatter for me.” Jayden pops the button on my jeans.
Jayden bends, pulling my jeans down achingly slow. He kisses the exposed skin at the back of my thighs as he removes them along with my boots and socks. Once again, he has me completely naked while he’s still fully clothed.
All thoughts flee my brain as he nudges my thighs apart. He licks all the way up my slit in one long stroke. My grip tightens on the vanity as my knees wobble. There’s something primal and powerful about this strong man on his knees, devouring me like he’s starving.
“Fuck, Jayden.” My back arches and I tilt my head back.
“You’re supposed to be watching, baby,” Jayden says with a growl.
I snap my gaze back to the mirror at the reprimand. Satisfied, he returns to feasting on me. He rolls my clit between his teeth and sucks hard. My knees weaken as euphoria builds inside me. My chest heaves with exertion as I do my best to keep myself upright in front of the mirror.
Jayden presses a finger inside me and groans against my clit, sending jolts of pleasure down my spine.
A whimper explodes from my chest as I climb that peak higher and higher.
My pupils are blown wide as the first shock waves hit me and I nearly fall to the floor as he presses another finger inside me.
“Mmm, you taste so good,” Jayden groans against me.
Euphoria crashes over me with the vibrations from his words.
My magic is electric against my skin as I continue to watch myself come apart in the mirror.
Blue lightning sizzles on my skin as I convulse.
Jayden pumps his fingers inside me almost lazily as I come down from my high with panting breaths and wobbly legs.
“Fuck, Jayden.” I hang my head, attempting to catch my breath.
“Better, baby?” he asks, standing up behind me and pulling my body against his.
I can’t speak. The ability to form words has completely left my brain so I lay my head back on his shoulder. Turning to face him, I press a kiss to his neck.
“So good,” I mumble.
“You were such a good girl for me. Did you like what you saw in the mirror?” Jayden asks.
“It would have been better if you were naked behind me,” I say.
I reach my arms back, wrapping them around the back of his neck. The movement lifts my breasts and Jayden’s growl is all primal male lust.
“That can be arranged, baby.” He runs his hands over my ribs and brushes the underside of my breasts with long fingers.
His hands leave a trail of fire in their wake as he cups my breasts in both palms, massaging them gently.
“You’re still dressed,” I say with a pout.
“Anticipation is key.” Jayden chuckles.
“I need to feel your skin against mine,” I say.
Once the words are out, the urge to feel his skin on mine is more intense. It’s a primal need that I don’t understand. I whirl around and slip my hands beneath the hem of his shirt and shove it up with a force that surprises both of us.
“Easy, love.” He chuckles and rips the shirt over his head, tossing it on the growing pile.
Jayden lifts me onto the vanity again and the cold porcelain on my overheated skin sends a shiver down my spine. My hands land on Jayden’s broad chest. I run them over his abs to the waistband of his jeans and he shudders.
“Need you,” I whisper.
“You’ve got me, baby. Always.” Jayden slowly removes his pants and boots.
His cock springs free and my mouth waters with the need to taste him. I hop down from the vanity and drop to my knees in front of him, running my hands up and down his powerful thighs.
“What are you doing?” he asks, tone strangled.
I don’t answer with words. Instead, I grip his cock in a tight fist and stroke him once before the need overwhelms me and I lick the underside of his cock from root to tip.
“Fuck, baby.” Jayden reaches for me, but I bat his hand away.
He’s not stopping me this time. If he gets his hands on me, he’s going to pull me off him and that’s not what I want right now. There’s a power in submission. I wrap my lips around him and hollow out my cheeks, sucking him all the way to the back of my throat.
A guttural groan explodes from him as he jerks his hips. “Beth, shit. You need to stop or I’m gonna come down your sexy throat.”
A whine escapes me that vibrates against his cock and he swears again. He wraps a hand in my hair and I glance up at him in question. There is indecision in his pretty blue eyes. He doesn’t know if he wants to pull me off him or fuck my throat.
I take the decision out of his hands as I suck him all the way to the back of my throat and swallow.
“Holy fucking Hades, what are you doing to me?” He thrusts his hips forward in a jerky, uncoordinated motion.
His grip on my hair tightens as Jayden takes control and fucks my throat in rapid thrusts that leave me a squirming mess.
“Touch yourself, baby. Or better yet.” He grins as his shadows slither down my body.
I groan as a shadow that feels suspiciously like a tongue flicks my clit. Jayden’s grip in my hair is almost painful as his carefully held control snaps into a million tiny pieces and he roars his release. His salty cum jets into my mouth and I swallow every drop.
“You are so perfect,” Jayden says, brushing a finger over my cheek.
I tilt my head back, his shadow still lapping at me with gentle strokes as Jayden stares down at me. A moan escapes me and Jayden smirks at me in a puddle on the floor without him even touching me.
“Feel it, baby. Feel what you just did to me.” The shadows move over my clit in harder, faster strokes and something hard pushes at my entrance as Jayden just stands there watching me writhe. “Show me what it’s doing to you. Spread those pretty thighs for me.”
I spread my legs for him and a strangled noise blasts from his chest as he watches his shadow fucking me and lapping at my clit at the same time.
“Jayden,” I whisper.
My body shakes with the oncoming orgasm. It’s going to be more powerful as I’m still on a high from bringing this man to completion with my mouth.
Jayden crouches in front of me, gaze locked on his shadows that are pulsing in time with my own shock waves. My arms give out from beneath me and Jayden catches me before my head hits the floor.
“That’s it, baby, come for me.” He lifts me off the floor and sets me back on the vanity, legs spread wide.
His hands bite into the flesh as he holds me steady. He leans down and takes a nipple into his mouth, nipping it gently.
“Jayden,” I scream as colors swirl around me and my body rocks with spasms.
“You’re so fucking beautiful when you come for me, love,” Jayden whispers.
He picks up my boneless body reverently and walks to the tub, testing if the water is still warm, then slides in with me cradled in his arms. My head lulls to the side to watch him as I come down from my orgasm.
“We’re going to be all right?” I ask as I lazily draw patterns on his chest.
“Yes, we’re going to go retrieve Hermes’ item of power and whatever comes after that we worry about then. The war, the shifters, all of it is a problem for the future, not worth worrying about now.” Jayden presses a kiss to my forehead.
“We can’t just not worry about the war, Jayden. There are preparations that need to be made. Training is needed and we need to strengthen our defenses.”
“We can talk about it with the others later. Let me take care of my mate. This is our last night at the academy for a while and I want to pamper you.” Jayden runs his hands up my arms to my shoulders, kneading the muscles.
“Oh gods, that feels good.” I tilt my head back, enjoying his movements.
Jayden works out knots that I didn’t even realize I had and the tension melts away. I relax back into his broad chest with a moan.
“It can feel even better,” he whispers against my shoulder. “Just feel. Shut off all thoughts about the future and just feel us together.”
I squirm in his arms as his shadows pulse across my skin. They writhe along my body, caressing me and pinching my nipples, making their way further down my body. The phantom caresses on my thighs create goosebumps all over my body.
“Jayden, fuck me, please. I need you.” I wiggle my hips which are pressed against his rock-hard throbbing cock already begging for more.
“Not yet, love. I want to let my shadows play. It’s so sexy watching you writhe against me as they take you. It’s so fucking irresistible the feeling of you through them. You will come for me repeatedly before I thrust into you hard and fast.” He nips my throat.
“I need to come,” I whine.
“They are working you. I can feel them. Can you?” A shadow pushes inside me and my back arches off his chest.
“Yes, oh gods. Don’t stop.” My head thrashes but Jayden grabs my chin, halting my movement.
He nips my jaw before running his tongue down over my throat. “You taste so good. I could lick your skin for days.”
“Mmm, we don’t have days, but you can lick me anytime we’re not busy.” I wriggle against his chest and lower.
“Stop thinking about what’s to come or my shadows are going to restrain you and force you to forget everything, including your name.” He grips my hips harder.
“Forget what?” I groan as his shadow thrusts into my pussy hard and fast.
Jayden’s hand trails across my hip to my pelvic bone and lower over my clit. “Mmm, can you feel my fingers against your clit as my shadow fucks you hard and fast?”
“Yes, it feels so good.” My hands clamp into fists at my sides.
“Come for me, my love.” He pinches my clit as his shadow impales me one last time.
“Jayden, oh fuck. I’m gonna come.” My head arches back and my nails claw into Jayden’s thighs which are bracketing my own.
“Yes, you’re going to come at least twice more before I let myself have you.”
“I need to see you. Please, I need to get fucked so bad.” I turn and nip his chin.
“You just came all over my fingers and you’re begging me again?” Jayden chuckles.
“I will zap you and make you lose control.” I flip over, straddling his hips.
My fingers wrap around his cock even as he tries to pull away from me.
My hand tightens around him as he grips my wrist to stop me from lining himself up with my entrance.
His shadows brush across my nipples and a wet tongue swirls around them before sucking on them both.
My body tingles, sending a direct line to my throbbing clit.
“Not yet, baby, please. You need to come again.” He pinches my clit and yanks my wrist from his cock with a hiss. “Can’t handle you touching me right now.”
I growl, angry he’s taking my choice away from me and my electricity buzzes across my skin. Jayden groans as white lightning zaps from my hand to his chest.
“I need you, now.” I glare down at him.
“Beth, you know what your magic does to me.” He squirms beneath me, his cock jumping and slapping against my stomach.
“Fuck me and make me come,” I snarl.
Jayden’s arms wrap around me and he rises from the tub, shifting his arms beneath my ass. My legs wrap around his hips and my hips rock against his huge cock. It presses into my clit with every thrust.
I bury my face into his shoulder and lap at his neck and shoulder. Jayden falls to the bed with me on my back beneath him. He covers my body with his and my nipples rub against his chest.
“I plan on it, right fucking now.” He grips my wrists and presses them against the bed over my head as his lips trail down my throat.
My leg wraps around his back as he positions his hips against mine. His cock throbs as he rubs it over my clit once, twice, three times before thrusting all the way to the hilt inside me.
“Fuck, Jayden.” I arch against him.
“Hold on, love. I’m gonna fuck you so good.” He quickly pulls out to the tip and then slams back into me.
I’m already so close again. Fuck, my magic pulses beneath my skin and sizzles over my body. Jayden convulses as he groans, his hips stuttering in their thrusts as he roars out his release.
“Jayden, fuck.” Shivers race across my spine and nerve endings as I come for my final time with a scream.
“Gods, baby. You are so fucking perfect. I can never get enough of you and you’re not ever going to leave me because I will stalk you until you come back to me. You are mine and nothing else matters but you.”
