CHAPTER 63
WREN
∞
I can’t believe this is fucking happening. I finally opened myself up to her completely after she told me she loved me, and the Fates went ahead and branded us both. I can’t help but laugh at the irony of it all. I wanted to claim her as my own the moment I knew Adrian had branded her. She is mine. She is no longer his and he no longer matters. He hurt her and now, with Alex dead, I have nothing stopping me from ripping his head from his fucking body.
I watch as she lifts herself back to her feet and then her leg is sliding over my thighs. I lean further back into the seat and let out a low breath. The space is small, and this car is doing me no favours for this situation…except for the fact her tits are pressed up against me and all I smell is her. Fuck. She still smells amazing even after turning. She hikes up the dress shirt and it bunches up on her thighs. She rests her forearms on my shoulders and leans in further, nipping at my lip.
“You’re mine, Wren Valkyrie. No more running away from me,”
she teases. I press my lips to hers through a laugh and I feel her smile. “I love you,”
she says again, and it makes my heart sore.
How I got lucky enough in this life to find someone like her…my mate. The one person that can hold back the darkness raging inside of me. I lost Alex, but she’s still here. She wants to be here. She wants to be with me. Through my pain and heartache, she’s the only thing now holding me to this world.
She shifts her hips and drags her clit against my cock, and it hardens in my pants. I moan into her mouth and grip her waist, urging her to do it again. I’m so fucked up in the head. My best friend…my brother, just died, but all I want is her. I want to feel something other than the pain raging in my chest, and she’s the path I need to take to pull away from the darkness following me.
“Will it be different?”
She asks quietly.
“What, Chess?”
“Now that I’m like you…will sex be different?”
“I think so, but not in a bad way. You’ll feel so much more, Chess. The pleasure I gave you before won’t ever compare to the pleasure I can give you now.”
Her body shivers against mine and she gasps out a small breath. “I don’t know if I can handle this, Wren…being a vampire. I don’t want to feed.”
“I’ll teach you. I will help you control your hunger, and I know you can do this, Chess. You’re so fucking strong, and I want you here with me…forever.”
“Forever?”
She says in a faraway tone. “I can’t even imagine forever.”
“I couldn’t either until now. I know my thoughts before, about wanting to die at the end of this, were dark and deranged, but I just couldn’t imagine living the way I’ve been living. It wasn’t living. I had nothing to really fight for, but now…now I have you, and I’m not letting you go. I want to live, Chess.”
The smile spreading across her face has my heart racing and it pulls a smile from my face as well. That’s right…I want to fucking live.
She reaches down between us and gropes at my cock. I tip my head back against the headrest and she pulls it from my pants and shifts herself enough to press the head to her pussy. She’s soaking wet and I glide into her with ease. The feeling is exquisite. Soft and warm and so fucking tight. She sits right into me, and I let out a breath through my teeth. She’s not moving, so I tip my head forward to see her watching me with soft glowing eyes. Her lips are parted, and she runs her tongue over the bottom one.
“It feels so good, Wren,”
she says breathlessly.
Fuck me.
She’s in for the ride of her life. If she thought the sex was good before, she’ll be a puddle by the time I’m done with her. Supernaturals feel everything differently because everything is heightened. She’ll have the stamina to go again and again if she wants, and she’ll feel toe curling pleasure every fucking time.
I shift myself lower in the seat and reach to the side to tip it back a bit. Her hands settle on my chest as she slowly grinds herself against me. She bites her lip and closes her eyes as a low moan rumbles from her throat.
“That’s it, Chess,”
I grit out as she drags her pussy up and sits back into me. Her breath is wheezing slightly as she moves quicker, and my fingers dig into her hips. My spine is tingling as she brings me closer and closer to coming. “Fuck, Chess,” I groan.
Her nails dig into my chest and her pussy tightens around me so fucking hard, that I feel like she’s actually strangling it. I’m trying to ride it out. I’m trying to let her finish completely before I ruin her cunt with my cum.
“Wren!”
She cries out, and her canines lengthen. They’re fucking longer than mine. Her body vibrates as her orgasm ravages her, and her chest heaves under the thin material of the shirt. I can’t hold on any longer. I thrust my hips up into her, making her gasp out in surprise, and completely unload into her.
She collapses against my chest and we’re both struggling to catch our breath. My cock is slowly going limp inside of her, but I don’t want to move. I can feel her pussy walls still pulsing around it, and I just want to stay like this a while longer.
“I’m fucking starving,”
she groans, nuzzling into my neck.
“You should feed soon,”
I say, brushing through her hair.
She props her chin on my chest and looks up at me through hooded eyes. “So I have to pick a blood whore?”
She mumbles.
“You don’t have to pick, I can pick one for you,” I laugh.
“Does it have to be a girl?”
She whines.
“I can get you a guy if that’s what you prefer.”
A twinge of jealousy gnaws at my chest at the thought of her lips on another man, but I can’t restrict her since I prefer women myself.
“Would you be okay with me picking a guy though?”
Did she sense my hesitation in suggesting it? “Whatever you want, Chess. I’m not going to tell you no.”
“But you want to tell me no.”
“Do you want to tell me no when it comes to the females?”
She pouts her lip, rolls her eyes, and settles back into the crook of my neck. “Sometimes…but I won’t.”
She inhales deeply and I feel the tip of her tongue drag across my throat. My body shivers under her. “You smell good,”
she mumbles.
“Do I smell different than before?”
I can’t believe I never thought to ask this before.
“You smelled like you before. It wasn’t anything specific, but I knew your scent instantly. I like wearing your clothes because I like the comforting smell, but I could never put my finger on it. Now…”
She inhales again and lets out a soft sigh. “You smell like amber and pine and caramel. You smell fucking amazing.”
I let out a hearty laugh at how descriptive she got. Her new nose is letting her pick up on the subtleties that her human nose couldn’t pinpoint.
“Hey, Wren?”
She whispers.
I’m slowly brushing my fingers across her back, thankful that the turning healed all her wounds. Her back was completely obliterated from Adrian’s assault, and I cringe at the memory of seeing her like that.
“Yes, baby?”
“Do vampires feed on each other?”
“Sometimes…not often though. There’s too much of a fear between most because a bite with too much venom laced through it can…”
I choke on the words as my thoughts shift back to Alex.
“But it happens, right? Especially during sex?”
“I would think so. If you’re fucking, you already trust each other enough to not do something like that to you.”
“So, it would be easier to get close to someone if they trust you…”
“Where are you going with this?”
She props herself up on me and stares at me with irritation clear on her face. Her jaw twitches and I want to smooth the frown line between her brows. “I think Adrian killed Alex. What happened, Wren? What happened in the cage?”
I search her face for any sense of doubt, but there is none. She truly believes Adrian would do something that cruel. “I was going to kill Adrian for what he did, but Alex stopped me. I get it. He was just doing his job, and I was so fucking angry. I fired him and banished him from the city, and after I dealt with you, he said he was going to go check on him…that’s the last time I saw either of them.”
My stomach feels like it’s in knots as I remember the last time I saw Alex truly alive. As I close my eyes though, all I see is his tainted and broken body lying in my arms. The pained look on his face and the fear in his eyes as he accepted his fate.
“We need to find him.”
“He’s probably long gone by now, Chess.”
“No, I don’t think he is. I think that he’s been watching this entire time. He’s a vindictive piece of shit and he’s cruel, even though he hides it well. If he did this, I guarantee you he’s still in the city. You flipped his entire life over, and he’ll want to see you fall, Wren.”
Her words feel true in my heart. The way he looked at me when I banished him, was nothing short of defiance. He felt hatred in that moment, and I should have noticed it sooner, but I was too focused on Chess dying.
“Let’s head back. We’ll deal with this in the morning.”
“You have to deal with the tower in the morning too.”
I look at her confused, and she rolls her eyes. “You destroyed the lobby, remember?”
“I was upset,”
I say bluntly.
“I’m not scolding you for it, I would have probably done the same thing.”
She rubs her fingers against my chest, right over my heart. “I’ll do what I can to fix this, Wren. I don’t want your heart to be broken.”
I sit up and wrap my arms around her, kissing her. I tease my tongue against hers and she opens her mouth wider for me to plunge mine in against hers. The moan vibrating from her between us, tingles through my body.
“You’re already mending it, Chess. Little by little.”
