Chapter 4
“I don’t knowwho any of those people are,” I admitted after hearing all the gossip Aiden had to tell me.
We paused our conversation to thank Jim and Everly on our way out. “We had a great time,” Aiden said.
As soon as we stepped out the door, I continued, “But I can’t believe that couple hasn’t mastered the invisibility spell. It’s not that hard to seal it to an object so that you don’t have to keep your focus on the spell.”
Aiden chuckled. “You would think that. Personally, I think that they were just so into each other that they forgot to cast the spell entirely.”
“That’s highly unlikely,” I argued. “How could someone forget that they were naked and visible? I mean, you’re good, but you’re not that good.” We were walking along the street toward the forest, the buildings getting fewer and farther between.
“Challenge accepted,” Aiden said with a wider grin than usual. “I’d like to collect that favor you owe me now. Strip.”
My jaw dropped and I glanced down the deserted street in horror, fully expecting someone to have heard his outlandish demand. “Here?” I demanded. “I’m not keen on getting arrested for public indecency before the school year even starts!”
Aiden raised one eyebrow. “We’re on the absolute outskirts of town, there’s barely any light here, and there is nothing indecent about your naked body. I want to see it. Now.” He crossed his arms. “Either you strip, or I shred your clothing to pieces and you’ll be naked until you make it to your dorm room. Your choice.”
I swallowed hard. “I’ll strip,” I said, my voice shaking only a little bit. I started with the crop top, unwrapping it from around my body and then shrinking it down for Aiden to put in his pocket. I had forgone a bra, so I was already halfway done with just that one article of clothing. A light breeze caressed my skin and I shivered, nipples hardening and drawing in tight.
“Now the rest,” Aiden ordered, his nostrils flaring as he took me in.
Swallowing back my embarrassment, I wiggled my leather skirt down my legs and stepped out of it, leaving me bare but for my shoes.
“You’re so naughty,” he said, admiring me. “How often do you go commando?”
“Only occasionally,” I replied, resisting the urge to cover my body with my hands.
“Spin for me.” He spun his finger in a circle. “Slowly.”
Heart thumping in my chest, I obeyed. When I was facing away from him, he said, “Stop.”
It was almost more difficult to be naked in front of someone and not be able to see them, to not know where they were.
A wall of heat from Aiden’s body spread along my back. He wasn’t touching me, not yet, but he was so close that if I leaned back, I would be right against him.
“Bend over and touch your toes,” Aiden murmured in my ear.
His presence left and I bent as requested.
It wasn’t really a request.
“Stay down and spread your cheeks for me,” was his next order.
Flushing in embarrassment, I did it.
“Stay still.”
I felt something hard press against my hole. It swirled around for a moment, the cold of metal covered in warm lube making me gasp, and then it pressed in. Slowly, slowly, the object widening as more of it invaded my body… My knees shook from holding me up, all the blood rushed to my head…
It was almost too wide to bear, and then it was fully inside, a heavy weight filling me.
“Stand.”
It wasn’t fully inside, I understood when the weight shifted as I followed instructions. There was a thin bit of metal protruding from the object inside me, and fluff brushing against the skin of my ass.
My heart skipped a beat.
“There, now your look is complete,” Aiden purred. “My little kitten.”
I shivered at the nickname.
We had discussed pet play over our many mirror calls this summer. I wasn’t keen on becoming a pet for him, but the idea of having a tail, being a humanoid pet, had its appeal.
And based on my body’s reaction to the new appendage, I was extremely into it.
“How does it feel, kitten?” Aiden asked.
“New,” I whispered. “I like it, I think.”
“If you stop liking it, you tell me right away,” he said.
“I promise.”
“Good. Walk ahead of me for now.”
“Where?”
“Straight ahead.”
There were still a few houses on the street, near the end. One had their lights on. But I started walking down the road, the tail bobbing with each step.
I was dripping down my thighs within a few feet, the exposure to the elements and the weight in my ass setting me on fire.
Metaphorically.
“I told you,” Aiden murmured from behind me.
“Told me what?”
“That even you might forget to cast an invisibility spell in the heat of the moment.”
I could hear the amusement in his voice. I raised my hand to cast it, but—
“No.”
“No, what?”
“Kittens can’t do magic. Or have you forgotten?”
I bit my lip to stop my yelp of annoyance. “What if someone sees?”
“You really should have thought of that before you became my pet.”
“You want someone to see me!” I accused him. I wanted to stop, to turn around and face him. But if I kept moving, maybe we’d make it past the houses with no one the wiser.
“Maybe I do. Keep making those noises, and someone will.”
We continued in silence for a few more steps when the door to the lit house opened and a man walked down the stairs.
I froze.
“Keep walking,” Aiden ordered. “And no speaking.”
My face flaming, I continued on my way, walking toward the stranger.
“Pleasant night for a walk,” the stranger said.
“Yes, it is,” Aiden replied. “A tad nipply, though.”
The stranger nodded and looked straight at me. “Cute kitten. Red ones are rare. Can I pet her?”
“I’m afraid not. She doesn’t like any man’s hand but mine,” Aiden said.
“Ah. A one-man pussy. I understand.” The stranger nodded and continued past us.
“What—”
“Keep silent,” Aiden ordered.
Burning with shame, I snapped my lips closed and picked up my pace. I didn’t want any more incidents like that. When we reached the tree line, Aiden stopped me with a word.
“Turn.”
I did, glaring at him. “Can I speak now?” I hissed.
“Yes, the need for illusion is gone.”
I frowned. “What?”
“I cast an illusion on you. Well, on your tail. That man back there saw a pretty little kitten, and that’s all he saw.” He grinned at my jaw dropping. “You don’t think I would let some random stranger see what is rightfully mine, do you?”
“I didn’t know what to think,” I muttered. “You could have told me.”
“Where’s the fun in that?” He crowded close to me, pressing me against a tree and cupping my sex, his fingers running through my folds and coming back dripping. “Besides, I think you’ve got an exhibitionist streak. Look at how wet you got just from that little walk.”
I opened my mouth to speak, but he raised a hand.
“And don’t try to tell me it’s all because of the tail. I could smell you getting wetter once he left the house. You liked the idea of being on display.”
“What would have happened if he’d tried to pet me?” I whispered.
“The illusion would have broken and he would have been very startled,” Aiden said with a smirk. “The same thing if you’d talked, or cast a spell. I’m the only one who could see you walking naked down the street, a cat tail in your ass. Now…” He picked me up by my thighs and pressed my back into the tree. “I’m going to fuck you within an inch of your life, and you’re going to cast that invisibility spell that you love so much. Make sure it includes soundproofing, because you’re going to scream for me louder than you’ve ever screamed before.”
I gasped, my fingers moving swiftly in the familiar motions of the invisibility spell, changing a motion to add in the muffling spell, and threw it against the tree at my back for it to stay even when my mind was elsewhere.
While I was busy hiding us from sight and sound, Aiden had managed to get his pants open and cock out. “Ready?” he asked.
“Fuck me senseless,” I begged.
“You asked for it,” he said with a grin, spearing me open in the next heartbeat. The plug in my ass shifted at his invasion, pressing against him as he thrust into me. “Damn, that feels fucking fantastic.”
I held onto his shoulders, fingernails digging into the material of his shirt, trying desperately to hold on despite his brutal pace.
The bark of the tree behind me didn’t feel as hard as it had a moment before, and I knew Aiden had cast a pillowing spell on the tree. I hoped that it didn’t affect my spell, but as soon as the thought had crossed my mind, it vanished. The only thing I wanted was more of the beautiful friction that was making my nerves sing.
“Feel good?” Aiden asked, unfairly not out of breath.
“Why is it…” I panted. “That you’re doing all the work, but I feel like I’m running a marathon?”
“You’re out of practice,” he teased.
“You’d better not have gotten practice in without me!” I exclaimed, shocked.
“My pillow got intimately comfortable with me,” Aiden admitted. “And I lifted a lot of weights with my hips. And I ran.” His thrust hit exactly the right spot and I screamed in pleasure. “I ran a lot. Yes, let me hear you. I need to hear how I’m making you feel. Tell me, if that man who wanted to pet you walked by right now, would you come even harder on my cock? Would you shout your desire to the moon if you could?”
My head rocked back on my neck. All I could see above us were the branches of trees. Far above were the moon and stars, shining like a spotlight and dappling the shadows of the branches on the ground around us. The sensations were beginning to overwhelm me, too much pleasure making my body tighten around his cock.
“I’m so close,” I whimpered. “Aiden, help?”
“I’m here for you, baby,” he breathed in my ear. “What do you need?”
I moaned incoherently and shook my head, not sure of what would send me over the edge.
“Tell me,” Aiden ordered, his hips never faltering in their pace.
My mouth opened, but no sound came out.
“Fuck, Siobhan, come for me, sweetheart,” Aiden rumbled.
A new voice broke through my concentration. “Over here should be a good place,” said one man.
My eyes widened, meeting Aiden’s with desperation.
His grin widened. “That’s it, isn’t it? You needed to be heard. Well, they’re going to hear you come apart for me, and only for me.” One hand released a thigh and snaked between our bodies, running around my oversensitive clit. “Do it. Come for me. Show them what a woman in pleasure sounds like.”
That did it. I came with a keening cry, arching my back as my nerves exploded, overwhelming my brain with ecstasy.
Aiden pumped twice more before burying himself to the hilt inside my body, cock twitching as he emptied into me. He dropped his forehead to my shoulder, breathing hard. “Fuck, you’re such a kinky little thing,” he murmured.
“Shh,” I whispered, trying to figure out where the two men had gone.
“You’ve got my package?” said another voice.
I straightened my back as much as I was able in Aiden’s arms. That was Chuck’s voice!
Chuck had pursued me relentlessly throughout our first year, and the beginning of second, until I had told him that Aiden was my soul mate and nothing would change my mind. He’d finally backed off once Aiden had, well, for the lack of a better term, beasted out on him.
What was he doing in the outskirts of Wellspring?
“I wouldn’t bother calling you down here to collect it if I didn’t,” said the other man.
I didn’t recognize his voice. Probably someone from the town.
“Excellent,” said Chuck.
I leaned forward, trying to see them, until I finally caught a glimpse far off to the left, half obscured by another tree.
“Any instructions?” Chuck asked, taking a small box from the other man.
“Don’t shake it, don’t put it in direct sunlight, and above all else, don’t tell anyone where you got it.” The other man waited, his hand held out.
Chuck sighed and reached into his back pocket to pull out an envelope.
The man opened it.
“It’s all there. You know where I sleep. I wouldn’t stiff you,” Chuck snarled.
“Can’t be too cautious,” the other man said, still bent over the envelope. Finally, he straightened. “Pleasure doing business with you.”
“Don’t mention it.” Chuck pulled a mirror from his pocket and vanished through it.
The other man walked back to the road, passing inches away from our tree, and whistled a jaunty tune as he walked away.
“What was that all about?” I asked Aiden, my eyes wide.
He shrugged. “No idea. But I doubt he had anything to do with Hazel’s disappearance.”
“He could have had a friend take her or something,” I said.
Aiden laughed as he put me down on my feet. “I know you don’t like him. Neither do I, if I’m being perfectly honest, but kidnapping seems out of character for him.”
I accepted that. “True. I’m still curious.”
“I’m sure we’ll find out in a few days. He could never keep a secret.” He buttoned himself back up. “Now, keep walking, kitten.”
“Are you serious?” I demanded.
“Quite. I want to see my cum dripping down your legs. Go.”
