Monster’s Pet (Blackthorn Academy for Supernaturals #14)

Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

I woke up alone on Christmas morning, seeking Aiden’s heat as I reached across the bed, my eyes still firmly closed.

When I felt nothing but cold sheets, I cracked them open, and then frowned. I sat up to glance around my room at Doyle Manor.

There was a miniature Christmas tree against the wall, decorated in silver and blue. When I say miniature, I mean it’s only six feet tall instead of the twelve-footer downstairs in the main hall. Off to the left, Aiden was sitting in my window seat, one knee propped up, and his arm resting on it. He was staring out the window, which looked out over the Irish Sea, but his thoughts seemed a million miles away.

“Happy Christmas,” I said softly.

He startled, looking over at me. “I’m sorry, did I wake you somehow?” he asked, matching my volume.

“No, but I missed your heat.”

Aiden smirked at that, standing up and padding slowly over to the bed in his bare feet. His pajama pants were slung low on his hips, but he wasn’t wearing anything else.

My gaze strayed downward to the V that disappeared under the drawstring of his pants.

“Maybe if you wore pajamas to bed, you wouldn’t be cold,” he teased me.

“I didn’t say I was cold,” I protested.

“You didn’t have to.” He propped one knee on the bed, and brushed the back of his knuckles lightly over one exposed nipple. “These are drawn in tight, budding up and begging for my heat. Either you’re cold, or you’re aroused.”

“Why don’t you find out?” I proposed, arching into his touch.

“Sweet girl,” Aiden groaned, his eyes flaring with fire in their depths. “You are my favorite gift.” He pulled back the sheet and blanket, exposing me to the cool morning air, and inhaled deeply as his gaze roved hungrily over my revealed skin. “Looks like the answer is both.”

I shivered, goosebumps rippling over my skin. “What are you going to do about it?”

“I’m not sure,” Aiden teased, tapping his finger to his chin thoughtfully. “I could wrap you up and place you in front of a fire, but that would only take care of one of your problems.”

“Maybe I should take care of it myself,” I threatened.

“Go right ahead,” he countered. “You know I love watching you bring yourself pleasure.”

Shit .

“I want you. Can’t I unwrap my Christmas present now?” I begged, reaching out and tugging on one drawstring.

“Presents should be under the tree and opened with family,” Aiden said, pretending to be shocked.

“I don’t want to open this one with family around.” I rolled my eyes. “But I would be fine with it being under the tree.”

Aiden grinned. “You got it.” He scooped me up unceremoniously and carried me the few steps to the fluffy rug in front of the tree, dropping me gently on my ass. He stepped over me. “Go ahead. Unwrap me.”

I grabbed the hems of his pantlegs and yanked. “I’ve never been the kind of girl who takes her time opening presents.”

Aiden laughed, his cock springing free as his pajamas pooled around his ankles. “Now that, I believe.” He kicked the pants off and kneeled down, looping my legs around his hips. He lined himself up with my center and sank into me with a slow glide.

I moaned, feeling complete and full. “Yes, this is the way to wake up on Christmas,” I murmured, reaching around his neck. “I’m still cold, though.”

Aiden thrust deep, and I lifted my hips to meet him. “I could make you work a little harder to get what you want. Put you on top of me, make you ride me until you bring yourself over the edge,” he suggested.

“Or you could shift and then your fire would warm me inside and out,” I replied, tugging on his hair. “I could grip your horns as you fucked me with one cock and then the other, knotting me and joining us together until it’s time to go downstairs.”

I knew I had him when a faint trace of reddish-orange fire rippled across his chest before it disappeared.

He lowered himself, our torsos pressing against each other, and whispered in my ear, “You’re a dirty girl, aren’t you? You kiss your grandfather with that mouth?”

I made a face even though I shivered at his words. “Let’s not bring him into this, shall we?”

Aiden chuckled when he leaned back, pulling out of me in the next moment. “Are you ready to be fucked by the monster, little girl?” Crimson flames licked over his skin, and this time, they didn’t vanish.

I wrapped my hands firmly around the horns growing on his forehead, lifting myself up into a crouch and bringing us face-to-face. “Bring it on, beast boy.”

He burst into white-hot flames with a growl, and I thought, not for the first time, how grateful I was that this was magical fire and wouldn’t burn our surroundings down around us. Hands hot with fire lifted my ass, and suddenly he was fitting a much larger cock against me.

I relaxed, letting him take the lead as he burrowed inside me, enjoying the added sensations from the flames alight along his secondary cock. I knew that once he ejaculated, that cum would heighten my senses and loosen me further to prepare me for his primary cock; the one that would knot inside me and prevent him from pulling away.

I couldn’t wait.

“Can you take me? You think this is big? Wait until you feel how I fill you up.” Aiden grunted as he thrust deep.

“Yes, give me all your cum,” I gasped, rocking my hips in his grip to match his motions. “Make me ready to take your knot!”

“I had you last night, and I still can’t get enough of you,” he muttered, ducking his head down to suck on my nipple. His forked tongue flicked over the bud, sinuously dancing around the sensitive nerves and making me arch into him. “I love your breasts,” he said, almost to himself as he switched sides. “Full, beautiful, and,” he bit down lightly and I cried out in ecstasy, “so fucking responsive.”

“Aiden!” I whimpered, writhing in his hold.

“Gonna come,” he groaned. “Just... give me... Fuck! ” His hips lost their rhythm and he buried himself inside my channel to the split of his dual cocks.

I could feel his cum spurting inside me, hotter than anything I’d ever felt and setting me off again.

He pulled out and flipped me onto my hands and knees, spreading them wide and crouching behind me, his breath hot on my pussy as he watched his cum pool inside my walls. “I love seeing my claim inside you,” he breathed. “This pussy belongs to me alone. Look at how well I painted your insides.”

“I can’t exactly see,” I teased, and then bit back a cry when he slapped my ass sharply.

He groaned. “My handprint on your luscious curves is just another way in which I claim you,” he said, massaging my cheeks with both hands. “Are you ready for my knot?”

“Can we face each other, please?”

The question was barely out of my mouth before the world was flipping around me once more, Aiden manhandling me like I weighed no more than a feather, which I most certainly did.

“Like this?” he asked, hovering over me.

“No.” I grabbed his horns again. “Sitting.”

When he shifted into a sitting position, he pulled me up with him.

I rose into a crouch, and with Aiden guiding himself, I took his thick cock deep with a single downward stroke.

“Fuck,” Aiden muttered, closing his eyes tightly. “You hug me so well.”

My chest was heaving with the effort of taking all of him, and I knew I still had his knot to take. It wasn’t inflated yet, but it would be soon, and I needed him deeper inside me for it to lock us together. Using his horns for leverage, I rose and fell, each drop bringing me closer to both the edge and his knot.

“Siobhan,” Aiden said softly, stilling my hips. “There’s no rush. Take your time and your pleasure from me.”

I shivered. “You always bring me pleasure. I need to feel you. I need your knot.”

He dropped one hand between us and thumbed over my clit. “Just relax and let me take care of you,” he purred. “You’ll take all of me in time, don’t worry.”

Each stroke of his thumb played over my sensitive nub, his flames heating me and bringing me closer to completion. My muscles were tensing involuntarily and I whimpered, close to the edge.

“Aiden,” I moaned.

“I’ve got you. Let go,” he murmured.

One of his talons scraped along my clit and that finally set me off, my body’s tension finally reaching the breaking point as I shattered in his arms. On the way back down, my muscles fully relaxed, I felt his cock hit deeper within me, his knot thickening at my entrance.

“A little further, sweetheart,” he crooned. “Can I move you?”

I nodded, and his hands shifted to cup my ass, spreading my legs wider around his hips. He moved my body up and down his cock, slicking it with the combination of my juices and his previous spend. Then he pulled me down as far as I was able with a roar, the knot immediately swelling to full hardness within me and stretching me to the limit as he spurted. The heat and pressure set me off again. I felt like I was burning from the inside out, my vision going white behind my closed eyelids.

“So good for me, you’re incredible,” Aiden was saying softly when I came to. He was petting my hair, my head resting on his shoulder. He was still hard inside me. The pressure was almost unbearable, and I took slow, shallow breaths to stay calm. “That’s right,” he said. “You’re doing so well for me, taking my knot and letting me stuff you full of cum.”

I felt my lower belly with one hand, not pressing too hard, feeling where his head was, pressing against me, and I moaned, my body still sensitive.

“You need another orgasm, sweet girl?” Aiden teased. “Go ahead. Touch your clit for me. Give yourself the pleasure you need.”

Paradoxically blushing, since we were connected as intimately as possible, I did as I was bid, and lowered my hand down my body to skate over my engorged clit. The hood was pulled back, exposing the little pearl within, and I jerked in his hold when I brushed my fingers over it.

“That’s it. Do it again,” he coaxed. “I can feel your muscles working around me.” He groaned when I grazed it again. “Fuck, yes, baby, come on.”

I inhaled sharply, feeling him twitch inside me. “Are you getting hard again?” I gasped.

“No,” he chuckled. “You’re sexy, gorgeous, all those descriptions that are leaving my head because I can’t think right now, but this is too short a refractory period even for my physiology.”

“God, that’s sexy,” I moaned, circling around my clit faster and faster. “I love it when you talk all smart.”

“I know what you mean.” Aiden dipped his head down to join our lips together, swallowing my whimpers of need.

My head was spinning from lack of oxygen and heightened pleasure, but it was hard to focus on kissing him and getting myself off at the same time. “Aiden, please help me,” I begged.

“All you had to do was ask,” he said, his big fingers taking over where I left off, rubbing out a rhythm that my hips wanted to dance to.

“Lies,” I breathed, my eyes half closed. “You like watching me too much.”

Aiden paused for a moment, considering my words. He restarted when I whined. “I would never push you when you were uncomfortable or actually needed my help,” he said at last. “Sometimes you just need to be encouraged. But you ask in a different way if you’re just being difficult. Now, come for me.”

I didn’t think I would be able to come on command like that. I thought my orgasm was too far away, but my body responded to his words like Pavlov’s dog to a bell; instantly. My eyes wide with surprise, I cried out silently as my body shook and muscles twitched with pleasure.

“That’s my girl,” Aiden said smugly, kissing me deeply, his tongue delving into my mouth.

A knock on the door broke us apart.

“Siobhan? Are you decent?” my grandfather’s voice filtered through the door.

“No!” I shouted, blushing.

Chuckles met my ears. “When you are, Christmas breakfast is waiting for you both.” The sound of his footsteps got quieter as he walked away.

“I would guess about five more minutes before we’re ready to separate,” Aiden said, cupping my jaw. “Happy Christmas.”

“I don’t think my present to you could beat this,” I murmured.

“You don’t think this is my present, do you?”

“I unwrapped you.”

“True.” His eyes sparkled with his amusement. “Then I got you two gifts.”

“I only have one for you.”

“Not true.” His fire flared dramatically. “Tonight, you’re going to be my feast as my second present.”

I shivered, not from cold. “Oh.” The pressure inside me was lessening, and I could feel all the cum inside me rushing to fill the space. “Looking forward to it.” I shivered again, and I realized that Aiden wasn’t putting off as much heat as he had been. His flames were going out as he shifted back into his human form from his beastly one. I stroked his horns before they completely disappeared.

“Let’s get you dressed,” he murmured into my neck.

“I think I need a shower first,” I said dryly, our combined fluids now coating our thighs.

“I could clean you up.” He wiggled his eyebrows, making me laugh.

“Tonight,” I promised him. “It’s time for presents!”

I used magic to clean myself and the room and we got dressed quickly. We shuffled out of my room, taking the stairs down to the kitchen two at a time like children. If there hadn’t been garland wrapped around the banisters, I probably would have slid down them like I used to. There was something about being with Aiden that brought out my playful side.

I liked it.

“Happy Christmas!” Grandfather greeted us, leaning against the counter with a cup of coffee in his hand. “I hope you had a pleasant rest?”

“I slept very well, sir,” Aiden said respectfully.

“I’m afraid I can’t wait any longer for you to open your gift, my girl,” Grandfather said, gesturing with one hand. A small box materialized in front of my plate. “Go on.”

The old box was wrapped simply with a red ribbon, so I pulled on one end and pressed the latch with my thumbnail, opening it to reveal a familiar ring set with amethysts and diamonds.

“Grandmother’s engagement ring!” I gasped, putting my hand to my mouth. “Are you sure you want to give it up?” The light purple stones winked up at me between the larger shimmery clear diamonds.

“I’m not getting any younger.” He brushed off my protests before I could say anything. “And I have no male grandchildren who might ask for it to propose to their girlfriends. I expect Aiden has a family heirloom that he will use for his own proposal, so I can’t think of a better gift for you.” He paused to take a drink. “Also, I had a dream that it was needed.”

I arched my eyebrows in surprise. “Needed? What’s the story behind this ring?”

Grandfather shrugged. “It’s been in the family for so long, I’m not actually sure. Maybe you can ask Darragh when you see his portrait next.”

“I’ll do that,” I said, making a mental note.

“It’s beautiful,” Aiden said, leaning over to look at it in the box. “Are you going to put it on?”

“Oh yeah.” I slipped the beautiful jewelry onto my right ring finger and smiled at it.

“I promise I will propose to you,” he murmured quietly. “You’re my forever.”

I kissed his cheek softly. “I never doubted you for a second.”

“Eat!” Grandfather urged us. “I want to see what you got for me!”

I rolled my eyes. “I swear, you’re more like a child than I am. I’m surprised you didn’t wake us at sunrise!”

“I was tempted,” he admitted unabashedly.
