Chapter 14
Percy stalked over to the tub, eyes sweeping me up and down as he licked his jaws. He awkwardly tried to climb into the tub. His foot slipped, and I had to cover my face to keep from laughing as he fell into the water. His arms flailed around as he tried to get his bearings.
Thrusting up out of the water, Percy’s arms wrapped around me and pulled me flat against his wet body. I let him hold me for a moment before pushing him gently away.
“Sit, boy.” I pointed at the ground and reached for the soap.
Percy scrambled to do as I bid, his body encompassing the whole tub and then some as he folded into it.
“Keep your hands on the sides,” I ordered as I stood between his legs, rubbing soap on to a washcloth.
Percy’s hands clamped onto the sides of the tub, and he peered up at me with such eagerness, it made my entire body tingle with anticipation.
I started with his hands, wiping one hand down and then the other getting between each digit and under every claw. His fingers twitched the more I touched him, the more I leaned over him.
By the time I got to his shoulders, a low growl had begun in his chest. My nipples brushed against his chest, his body tensing with each touch.
“You’re doing so good,” I murmured as I brought the washcloth across his chest and down his abs.
“If you call me a good boy, you’re going to get it,” Percy rumbled beside my ear as I reached up and started to scrub the hair on his head.
My lips quirked up at the threat. I paused my cleaning to stroke along his ear. It twitched beneath my fingers. His long cock bumped against my calves, and I almost crumbled there and then.
I was this close to having that inside of me. This close to knowing what he finally felt like. Percy and I had been at each other’s throats since day one, but that didn’t stop me from daydreaming about getting railed by him in either form. The fact that I was about to be his first made something possessive inside of me build.
“Bianca,” Percy groaned against my ear. “I’m not going to last if you keep doing that.”
I arched a brow. His ears were a sensitive place. Good to know.
Sinking to my knees, I put one leg on either side of his hips, his cock pressed up between us.
I dragged the cloth back down his chest and into the water, wrapping it around his length.
Percy’s hips jerked up at my touch. Still he kept his hands on the sides of the tub.
Feeling him in my hand told me he was so much bigger than I thought he was before. So much so I worried I wouldn’t be able to fit him completely inside of me, not without some work.
I worked my hand up and down him, then discarded the washcloth to have him bare in my palm. Just touching him had my body clenching deliciously. It wanted something inside of it. At this point, there was no telling if I was wet from the water or from how turned on I was by the sounds he was making.
Percy panted above me as he thrusted himself into my palm a low whine coming from him. “Please.”
I peered up at him from my place on his thighs, moving my hand at a glacial pace. I swirled my finger tip over his tip poking out of the water and dragged the liquid coming out along the top.
Percy hissed, and his eyes squeezed shut.
“Look at me,” I demanded, wrapping my hand around his length and squeezing until he locked his eyes with mine. “We’re going to take this nice and slow because as much as I want this inside of me, I like my guts where they are.” I put my hand into the water and pulled the plug. We didn’t need the water to work against us. “Can you keep your hands on the tub for me?”
Percy let out a long groan as I stood and rubbed him against the front of me, sliding back and forth over my clit until my knees wobbled.
“Can you…?” I gasped and dropped my hand down onto his arm, my nails digging into his flesh.
“Yes!” Percy cried out.
Bracing myself with his shoulders, I lined up the thick head of his cock with my entrance. Thankfully, I’d prepped myself for this with my own toys, but nothing could compare to the hot press of his head pushing against my slit.
Percy’s breath rushed over me as he panted. His body tensed while I worked him back and forth until his head finally popped past the entrance.
We groaned in unison, my pussy already squeezing him tight. I gave myself a moment to get used to it, then eased myself up and down. His tip sank down just a little bit more with each thrust.
The only sounds in the bathroom was the lapping of the leftover water in the tub and our moans. Mostly growls from Percy.
I worked myself on him, and each swipe of his cock against my insides made me catch my breath. I was so close to coming already, and I didn’t even have him all the way inside of me.
“Fuck!” Percy cried out, the tub groaning under his grip. “You feel so good. So tight.”
I pressed my lips to the side of his snout. “I’m going to come.”
His whole body shuddered at my admission. “Let me touch you.”
I hesitated and then nodded. “Gently.”
Immediately, Percy’s hand cupped one of my breasts. He pinched and teased the nipple until my hips bucked and writhed on him. His other hand dipped between us and stroked the bundle of nerves there.
Stars exploded behind my eyes, and I cried out. My body squeezed him so tight, I thought for sure he’d come next.
“Please! My knot.” Percy bucked his hips up. “I need it. Inside you.”
Barely down from my orgasm, I frowned and pushed myself further down him until I felt a large swollen bumping against my folds. “I don’t know, Percy. I’m not sure if I can stretch that far.”
Percy grabbed me by the hips and rocked me back and forth in such a rapid motion I had to hold onto him. My orgasm had loosened me up more, and to my surprise, his knot slipped past my entrance with ease compared to the rest.
If the feeling of fullness before was a lot, this one part rubbing against the most sensitive part inside of me had my body spasming.
“Gods damn you, Percy. Fuck!” I threw my head back and screamed. My insides clenched as he thrust faster, only for his knot to keep hitting the same spot. My legs quivered and I couldn’t catch my breath.
Percy gave one last thrust as he let out a roar that caused the whole house to shake. Hot ropes of his release filled me. His knot swelled inside me until my eyes crossed, and I gasped, digging my nails into his chest.
“Fuck. Oh fuck,” I panted against his chest. His hands on my hips loosened but did not release me. I pressed my forehead to his chest and let out a shaky laugh.
“What’s so funny?”
“I was just thinking, if I’d known it would be this good, I would have hate-fucked you a long time ago.” I pushed back off him so I could look Percy in the eyes. The feel of him inside me as I sank further onto him made me close my eyes for a brief moment.
Percy’s claws drew circles on my hips as he chuckled. That’s when I realized he was still in beast form.
“Not that I’m complaining,” I squeezed my inside muscle making us both groan, “but aren't you supposed to change back now?”
If I didn’t know any better, I could have sworn the mutt was blushing.
“My knot,” Percy grumbled.
“What was that?” I angled my head towards him. “A little louder for the recently world-shattered.”
“My knot has to…” He winced as he gripped my hips to keep me in place. “Deflate.”
Mouth shaped like an o, I braced myself on his chest. “Well, what happens if you get hard again before it deflates? Do you have to just keep going and then never shift back—?”
“Hello?” Tara’s voice called out in the living area.
My eyes widened and locked with Percy’s. “Shit. Tara’s here. Make your thing… you know… go down!”
“Don’t pull!” Percy gripped my hips as I tried to push away from him.
“What are we going to do?” I whispered in a rush. Panic seized me at the idea of being caught by my best friend in such an embarrassing position.
I wasn’t ashamed of having sex with Percy, but being stuck to him like this wasn’t something I was just going to be able to breeze over with Tara. Especially after I gave her so much shit about the prince.
“I don’t know. Stall her,” Percy growled and then groaned. “Fuck, don’t wiggle like that. You’re going to make it worse.”
Huffing out a breath, I called out to Tara. “I’m using the bathroom. Be there in a minute.” Then I muttered to myself, “I hope.”
“Okay, I’m just going to start setting up then. I see you got the pot ash,” Tara continued while I frantically tried to mentally hurry Percy’s knot to… unknot. Whatever the heck it was called. “Was it hard to get?”
Fucking gods. Of course now she wants to be talkative.
Percy jerked a few times inside of me, forcing a loud moan out of me.
“Bianca?” Tara called out her footsteps coming closer.
“No. Stay back. My stomach is all messed up. You do not want to get a smell of this shit.” I winced at my excuse as Percy tried not to laugh.
I smacked Percy on the chest with a glare and then out a little eek as his body shuddered and then shrank underneath me.
“Oh. Okay.” Tara’s footsteps moved away from the bathroom again. “I hope you’re not getting sick. That’s the last thing you need right now.”
I sighed as Percy’s length slid out of me. It’d finally shrank to a less than monstrous size, but it was still larger than most men's.
Now sitting completely naked with Percy’s human form, our positioning felt more intimate. His face just inches from mine, those brown eyes staring into mine. He flashed me a grin. All of his teeth were sharper than a human’s, making it look as if that grin belonged to his beast shape.
I shifted to move off him, but Percy held on to me. I gave him a curious frown. “Let go.”
“No.” Percy’s hands, now human hands but with long sharp nails, scraped along my hip bone, making me shiver in delight.
I pushed his hands away with a huff. “I have to go.”
“But I don’t want you to.” He lifted his hips to rub his growing erection against my sensitive cunt.
My eyes closed tightly as a whine escaped me.
“Bianca, are you sure you don’t need any help?” Tara shouted from the front. “I can make you something for your stomach. We really want to get this done before the council comes. They love to show up whenever they feel like it.”
The reminder of the council threw a bucket of cold water on my libido. No matter how much I wanted to take Percy up on his offer, there were more important, life-changing events happening.
“You changed forms. You don’t need me anymore.” I pulled at his hands, zapping his fingers with a bit of cold when they didn’t relent. “Stay in here until I get her to leave. There’s probably some drawstring pants or something else you can wear in my wardrobe.”
“You’re kicking me out? After what we just—” Percy gaped at me as I climbed out of the tub and wrapped myself in my robe.
“Yes,” I snapped, my nerves frayed to the edges. “This was fun. I mean really great.” I clapped my hands on my face, not getting the right words out. “Please just go. I’ll explain later.”
“Oh. No. I understand.” Percy jumped over the edge of the tub and stood looming over me. Even in human form, he still had almost half a foot on me. “You got what you wanted and now you’re giving me the boot. See, this is why I never just fucked anyone to stop the mating heat. Why should I have expected it to mean something to you when it so clearly doesn’t? You hate me after all.”
“Percy.” I stepped toward him but he jerked out of my reach. “That’s not what I mean. You know that’s not it. It did mean something to me. Does. But I can’t do this right now. There are things—”
“Bianca? Who are you talking to?” Tara walked into the bedroom, and I quickly shut the bathroom door.
“Myself!” I let out a nervous laugh. “Just trying to get my stomach going.” Then I turned to Percy with pleading in my eyes. “Can you please just stay here okay? We can talk about it after I get Tara up to Raspberry Crest. Can you do that for me?”
Percy stared at me, his shoulders tense and jaw clenched. “Fine.”
I cupped his face with my hands and tried to think of something that would make him feel better, but my mind blanked in my blind panic. Two of my worlds were colliding. Which one was more important? My entire career and ability to be a witch, or this budding romance with Percy that may or may not lead anywhere?
I pressed my lips to his unresponsive ones. “Thank you,” I murmured before darting out of the room.
I only hoped he would still be there when I got back.
