Chapter 24
CHAPTER 24
It was hard to leave Moonbeam behind, but she was happier with her family. Aiden shed a few tears, but nobody thought any less of him for it. I wondered if the pod would stay in Australia, or if it would return to Greenland.
Grandfather was under the impression that once the ley lines evened out, they would find their way back home.
It was top of my list to check out once I graduated, and Aiden couldn’t agree faster.
He managed to get his beast somewhat under control before we left the cavern. I caught a few flares escaping from his temples, but hopefully, any humans that caught sight of us just passed it off as a trick of the light or heat.
The portal back to the school was easy to find. One of the first things I noticed after entering the hallways was that there was magic again.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
“I suspect that we will return to full magical potential within twenty-four hours,” Professor Akhtar said. “I am very impressed by both of you.” He turned to Paige, who shrank under his stern gaze. “I am also impressed by you. You managed to complete a very complicated spell under duress, and it not only held for three months, but didn’t shatter upon release. It takes a different sort of bravery to own up to your mistakes, and I appreciate that you came forward and helped fix them.”
“I didn’t really—” Paige began, but the professor cut her off with a hand.
“Even if it had to be coaxed out of you, you still told them. Would you rather I punish you?”
Paige shook her head.
“Good. I think you’ve been punished enough. I think you should talk to one of the school therapists. You’ve been under considerable stress these last few months.”
“Are you sure that isn’t my punishment?” Paige whined.
Professor Akhtar chuckled. “Talking about your feelings is a form of punishment, I suppose.”
“But worth it,” Grandfather chimed in.
“You’d know, you old goat,” Professor Dunlop teased his friend.
“I’ll have you know, I got very good at communicating my feelings when I was married,” Grandfather said with a sniff.
“And then reverted back after becoming a widower!”
My friends and I left the teachers to bicker with my grandfather. He had told me he’d stick around for dinner, so I knew I’d still have a chance to say goodbye. He wanted to be present when they turned the giant over to the magical authorities, and to tell the headmistress what had happened.
“We should probably get rid of all the kitten paraphernalia,” Aiden said sadly.
Rhiannon put her hand on his arm. “I’ll take care of it. Why don’t you and Siobhan take a moment to yourselves.”
Aiden sniffed. “Thanks.”
I took his arm and led him to his secret room. “We won’t be disturbed here,” I said.
“Thanks,” Aiden repeated thickly.
We barely made it into his room before the big marshmallow burst into tears. I used the returning ley line power to transform one of the mats into a squashy armchair with barely a thought, and pushed him into it.
It was so nice to be able to use magic easily again.
When I didn’t join him on the chair, he looked up at me, his big puppy dog eyes full of tears, and tugged on my hand.
“I was going to go get some treats from the kitchen,” I said.
He pouted. “I don’t need snacks, I need you.”
“How can I resist,” I said, biting back a sigh. I let him pull me onto his lap, running my hand through his hair while he proceeded to soak my shirt with his tears. “You’re going to be a sap when our children move away, aren’t you?”
The crying stopped. “Our children?” Aiden asked, his voice muffled by my breasts.
“You want children, don’t you?” I asked, working my nails gently over his scalp.
“Yes.” He nodded vigorously, making me jiggle.
I couldn’t stop the slight chuckle that escaped me.
“Why are you laughing?” Aiden asked, pulling back to glare at me accusingly.
“Not at you,” I said reassuringly. “It’s your position.”
Aiden blinked and looked at my boobs, a small smile creeping onto his lips. “It’s very comfy,” he said slyly.
“Maybe for you,” I replied. “But this bra isn’t very comfortable.”
“Oh yeah?” He wiped under his eyes and sniffed. “Maybe you should take it off. Your comfort is my priority.”
“Is it?” I asked mildly. “Well, in that case…” I snapped my fingers and my bra appeared on the floor next to us.
“Feel better?” Aiden asked solicitously.
“Well… Now there’s this wet patch on my shirt. It’s not very comfortable.”
Aiden nodded gravely. “I can see how that would feel unpleasant.”
“If it doesn’t bother you, I’d like to take it off.”
“Doesn’t bother me in the slightest.”
My heart fluttered at the twinkle of mischief in his eyes. I stripped out of my shirt, dropped it on my bra, and stretched. “That feels a lot better,” I said.
“But this skirt looks a little tight around your waist, now that you’re sitting down,” Aiden pointed out, running a finger along the waistband. “Maybe that should go, too.”
“That’s a great idea,” I said. I snapped my fingers, and it joined my clothing on the floor in the next second.
Aiden’s fingers quested between my legs and he groaned deep in his chest. “Speaking of wetness,” he said. “Your underwear is soaked. I think you should get rid of them as well.”
“You’re so right,” I said innocently, and the next second, I was sitting on his lap as bare as the day I was born. I gasped, pretending to be shocked, and tried to cover myself with my hands. “Was this whole thing a ruse to get me naked?”
Aiden chuckled and nudged one hand away from my breast with his nose. “What better way to cheer me up?” He licked over my nipple before drawing it into his mouth, flicking his tongue over the nub.
I groaned and grabbed his hair, holding him to me until he bit down. I yelped and yanked him away. “What was that for?” I demanded.
“You like it.”
I gaped at him, but couldn’t deny that my clit was throbbing.
“Spread your legs for me,” Aiden rumbled.
Shakily, I obeyed, and the rush of cool air over my heated sex made me shiver.
Aiden leisurely traced my lower lips with a fingertip, never touching me for too long in one place. “Anytime I find myself missing Moonbeam, I’m going to play with this pretty pussy to make up for it. I hope you’re ready for a lot of attention over the next few weeks.”
“And that would be different how, exactly?” I teased him.
Then I yelped as I was spun around, my head where my feet had been and my ass pressed up in the air. I shouted again, looking over my shoulder at him when his hand connected with my skin, heat shooting through me.
“You are a naughty girl,” Aiden said, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. “And naughty girls get spanked.” Loud smacks, one from each of his hands, filled the air, before he grabbed the globes of my ass firmly with his hands. “But that’s no punishment for you, is it? You’re dripping onto my pants, you’re so fucking wet.” He yanked my hips toward his face and buried his mouth in my folds, his tongue delving into my depths while his chin teased my clit.
I clenched around the thick muscle, but it wasn’t enough. “I need to be filled, Aiden, please!” I whimpered.
“Your pussy is built to be played with,” Aiden informed me. “We didn’t give Moonbeam what she wanted right away, or else she would have gorged herself. Will your pussy gorge herself on my cock?”
“My pussy will take all your cum and beg for more,” I retorted.
Aiden groaned and pressed a hand over his crotch. I had the perfect view of his straining pants, which gave me an idea.
“It’s my turn,” I said, which was all the warning Aiden got before his clothes were banished to the floor next to mine. All I needed to do after that was change my angle, and his cock brushed against my opening. “And I’m going to ride you until the only pussy you ever think about is mine.”
“Fuck, Siobhan,” Aiden hissed.
I took that as approval, and sank down onto his cock, feeling complete.
I adjusted the width of the chair to give my legs more room beside his thighs before reclining against his chest. “You fill me so good, Aiden,” I moaned. “Touch me.”
His hands cupped my heavy breasts, tweaking my nipples as I rose and fell over his cock.
“You don’t play fair,” he whispered in my ear.
“You wouldn’t want me to,” I replied, rocking my hips. “Make me come and then fuck me into this chair until I forget my own name.”
His thighs quivered under me. “With pleasure,” he groaned. He took my arms and raised them above my head.
I felt his horns and grabbed hold, excited. I loved the extra leverage they gave me. Riding him backward like this, the position made me arch my back, my breasts pressed into the air. Soft lips caressed the inside of my arm, sending shivers through me.
“You are a delight, my favorite person in the world,” Aiden said, his hands tracing down my body, over my nipples and arrowing to my clit. “You’re so responsive to my touch. So obedient. And you will come for me now.” He pinched me just enough that the pleasure centers in my brain sparked, and I came, shaking and keening, on top of him.
I hadn’t recovered before he was flipping me around and pressing my face into the chair cushion.
“Now you’re going to take my knot,” Aiden growled, thrusting into me hard.
I could feel his fire along the backs of my thighs, and I knew he’d fully shifted into his beast form. “Yes, fuck me hard!” I cried out.
“Can you feel how hard I am for you? You’re taking my knot without the prep you need. You’re going to feel every inch.”
I felt his secondary cock spurt all over my back, the cum dripping off my sides and making a mess underneath me. Aiden rubbed it into my skin, staking his claim on me.
“I want you deep inside me,” I moaned. “Let me feel you!”
“You’ve got no choice in that,” Aiden snarled, making my heart skip a beat in ecstasy. “Feel that?” He thrust in harder, his knot pressing against my opening. “I’m ready for you. Do you think you can take me?”
It was going to be a tight fit. The cum from his secondary cock usually relaxed me enough so I could take him, but that was now elsewhere. “Yes,” I panted.
“Good girl.” He thrust deep, and his knot squeezed inside, making me feel fuller than ever. I felt his release inside me, spurting from his twitching cock, his knot swelling further, and I clamped down on him, my orgasm crashing over me as I shook below him.
“Are you okay?” Aiden asked, shifting me so I was cradled in his arms while he sat on the chair.
“Never better,” I gasped, still twitching from aftershocks. “You know that you don’t have to try to convince me to make my pussy available to you any time you want it. It’s already yours.”
Aiden chuckled. “Glad you know it.”
