CHAPTER XIV #2
The forest air around the Ancient thickens, the mist at his boots now moving up past his knees. He takes a slow step back and gives the two of us one more casual grin before turning around to walk into the woods, disappearing just as quickly as he came.
“I don’t like him,” I whisper fiercely.
Keane turns to me swiftly, his hand darting up to my face as he wraps his fingers around my chin. He tilts my head up and forces his strong brown gaze to capture mine, his eyes so intense that the single look makes my heart pound against my chest.
“You threw a dagger at the strongest of the Ancient Ten, Alexis,” he stares back at me, hand sliding from my chin to grasp the side of my jaw.
“Like I said,” I scowl, “I do not like him.”
“I need you,” he takes a hard step forward, “I need to feel myself inside you. Need to feel you move for me.”
My legs nearly give at his words. Keane quickly pushes his knee between my thighs, his free hand grabbing my hip firmly as he grinds me on top of it.
“I still don’t like you much either,” I flush.
“I know,” he smirks, dipping low to brush his lips against mine.
I bite down on his bottom lip with a small force, moaning when Keane thrusts his hips in response, his cock hard and waiting.
“Ancients.”
I press against him in lustful greeting, truly unable to stay mad at him right now. I need him just as much as he needs me. Need his hands all over my body and the familiar feel of his gaze on my skin.
I kiss Keane with a desperate hunger, pulling his bottom lip into my mouth and biting again.
He groans and pulls up the hem of my shirt as I wrap both arms around his shoulders, my nails skating along his back in a desperate plea.
Keane’s hand slides up my bare stomach before cupping my breast, his fingers playing with my nipple in a teasing embrace.
His lips capture my whimpers while his grip on the side of my face holds me unrelentingly, everything about us moving in pure need.
Keane tugs at my nipple harder, his touch rough and claiming as I reach for the waistband of his pants. I quickly dip a hand under and give his cock a rough squeeze, pulling him towards me in my own demand and smiling when he groans.
“The things you do to me, Alexis,” he breaks our kiss, hands quickly finding my ass as he squeezes it hard.
He picks me up and smirks when I immediately wrap my legs around his waist, thrusting his hard cock again until I’m grinding in his arms. My hands rake through his hair before I descend on his neck, my lips devouring the taste of his skin with a relentless force of my own.
I nip and suck until our heavy breathing becomes one, basking in every groan from Keane’s lips as he rocks me against his hips.
“You’re going to leave a bruise,” he chuckles as I skate my teeth over his neck.
“You’d deserve it,” I pant.
“I would,” he nods but pulls away.
I tug on his hair with a pout and rock my hips in a better angle that has my clit aching for more.
I close my eyes in heated need and lean down on his shoulder, feeling as Stormfall pushes from under my hair with a caw of annoyance.
Keane starts walking us back to the clearing for reasons unknown to me, but his hands firmly holding my ass tells me he’s not even thinking of being done.
“The forest was just fine,” I kiss against his neck.
Keane squeezes my ass again before dropping me to my feet.
“I wanted to see you better,” he replies steadily, hands roaming up to the curve of my hips. His brown eyes follow the path with a sensual need before they grip my sides and pull me into him.
“I needed to see your body, Alexis,” he continues, the two of us watching as his hands move up under my shirt. His calloused palms take their time moving along my stomach before they stop just under my breasts.
“And the way you react to me.”
I grip the backs of Keane’s biceps and nearly beg for his hands to come back down.
“Touch me, Keane,” I plead, “I need to feel you, too.”
The Prince grins and leans down to my ear, “but I am touching you, trouble.”
I groan and press my hips into his. “Touch me here.”
“Hmm,” he smirks, “you want my fingers in that aching cunt of yours, Alexis?”
Dear Ancients.
“Yes,” I nod without shame, “please.”
Keane nips the bottom of my ear and moves his hands back down my stomach. He tears open my waistband and dips one hand back to my ass, the other fiddling with the lace above my clit as my head falls hard on his shoulder.
“You think my fingers are fulfilling…” he smirks again, sliding a finger down in taunt, “just wait until you have me fully inside you, Alexis.”
He thrusts inside just as I cry out his name.
“This is nothing,” he pulls out aggressively, “nothing,” he thrusts two fingers back in, “that will compare to what I will be giving you under the Shadow Oak.”
I lose all control of my body at his words.
I feel myself clench around his fingers, so turned on by his dark promise and the way he’s pumping into me without restraint.
I grip his arms tight and feel my body rocking into his with every thrust of his fingers, the insides of my thighs dripping in absolute lust. Keane grips my ass hard and keeps my trembling legs upright, his lips grinning into the side of my neck as I cry out again when his fingers curl perfectly within me.
Ancients, he knows what he’s fucking doing. And all I can think of now is his full length inside me, filling me in places that his fingers can’t reach.
“Tell me more,” I demand breathlessly, rolling my hips above his hand as his fingers curve again.
Keane pulls me in closer with a grin. “What do you want to hear, trouble? Do you want me to tell you about all the times I’ve wanted you?”
He pulls his fingers out and slides them up to my clit, nipping against my neck when I let out a loud moan.
“I’ve counted them so as not to forget,” he whispers against my ear.
His thumb joins my clit, rubbing until I’m trembling in his hold.
“They’re a reminder of the times I’ve been denied from having you fully…”
His fingers dip back down my folds, plunging in without warning. I bite down on his shoulder and moan into his shirt, my breathing turning ragged as the next circle of his thumb makes my hips rock aggressively.
“A reminder of everything I wanted to do to you in those moments.”
Keane pulls out and pumps back in, his own hips thrusting forward so that his cock settles just below his hand.
“Fuck,” I moan, releasing one of his arms so I can touch him.
“Fuck is right, Alexis,“ he chuckles, “the things I’m going to do to you when I have you under the Shadow Oak...”
Keane thrusts in deeper and squeezes my ass, his grip holding me steady and making me take every single one of his pumps.
He starts moving with an intensity and builds up a heated rhythm, his thumb circling my clit and riding me straight towards the edge.
I moan his name and dip my hand beneath his waistband, feeling his hard length throbbing in my hold as I begin pumping to the same pace.
I let him fuck my hand without abandon, determined to give him the same pleasure that he’s always giving me.
“Come for me, trouble,” he demands in my ear, “show my fingers what you’re going to do to my cock.”
Fuck me.
I shatter. Completely shatter.
My release explodes through my body at his words.
Keane smirks into my neck, his chuckle deep and proud, letting his fingers continue to thrust in and out, again and again.
His lips crash just below my ear and suck hard, his hand riding me through my climax until I hear him groan and do the same.
His hot release spills into my palm with heated desire, drawing the last of my own release out with a breathless moan.
The two of us lean onto eachother in pure satisfaction, both of our breaths uneven and hearts pounding in our chests. Ancients, we’re burning for eachother- I can feel it in the way the two of us still want more. How many more moments like this can I take until I need him? All of him?
“Can you hold yourself upright?” Keane asks smugly.
“Your words,” I pant into his shirt, “they…”
I shake my head against his shoulder, unable to finish my thought as his fingers pull out and then thrust back in. I cry out as Keane chuckles under my ear, his arm tightening around my waist and gripping my ass harder.
“You like hearing them, don’t you?”
“Yes,” I answer shamelessly, running my hand down his still half-hard length, “and I need you, too, Keane. I don’t know how much longer I can go without feeling you completely inside me.”
The ground below us begins to shake as Keane quickly pulls out his fingers. I let out a whimper and then gasp when both of his arms quickly wrap under my ass, the Prince picking me up in a fluid motion until I’m looking down at him from above.
“I need to hear you say the words, Alexis,” his intense brown eyes greet mine, “say the words that you know to be true in your heart.”
I nod down at him slowly, thinking of the city of Gaumond and the black walls of the imposing and proud castle.
I think of the Shadow Oak and how it will greet us in hidden welcome when we arrive.
I think of all the different rises in the city and how they host so many different pleasures, humans and Discerni enjoying them all, together.
Gaumond.
His Gaumond.
The Warrior capitol that now calls for my heart.
Or is it him?
Is he the one calling for my heart?
Yes. And I know I want him in whatever way he’s willing to give me. The desire I have for this man is stronger than anything I’ve ever experienced in my life.
But does that mean I’m ready to give up my old home to be with him? My old characteristics?
Yes, my heart answers steadily while my mind is quick to tell me no.
