Felix
“Your uncle is very nice,” Eden says once we’re alone in the bedroom. “I’ve never played cribbage before, but I remember my parents getting together with friends to play it. It was a lot of fun.”
Eden’s eyes are distant, staring off into thoughts that only she can see.
“I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. I know this isn’t exactly what I promised, but at least we’re away, and the best part…” I snake my arms around her waist. “We’re together.”
Eden blushes whenever I compliment her, and it’s entirely too beautiful. Unable to resist the temptation, I drop my lips to hers. It shocks me every single time that she tastes as heavenly as I imagined.
“My heart always runs ragged when you’re near me, Pretty Thing. One day it may leap right out of my chest.”
Eden smiles.
“Mine does the same,” she says, her voice as soft and sensual as her touch.
Fuck she drives me crazy. I want her. I want every part of her. Every last inch. I intended to claim more of her tonight. Snow falling outside, the house quiet, blankets piled high on the floor, and us wrapped up in them, while our shadows dance on the wall.
But now…Jim is ruining my perfect plans.
I kiss her again and pour everything I’m feeling into the connection, eating up the moans that escape her lips.
“We better get ready for bed. Do you think you’ll be up for a snowmobile ride tomorrow?”
Eden’s eyes light up.
“I’ve never been on one, and I don’t have the clothes, or a helmet, or….”
I laugh, stopping her before she works herself into a tizzy.
“You’re going to love it, and don’t worry, we have extra gear here. You can ride with me.”
My dick hardens when she smiles wide.
Fuck me, she’s stunning. I will do anything to keep Eden. Clearing my throat, I nod toward her overnight bag.
“You mentioned earlier that you want to shower. Do you want me to take your bag in there for you?”
“No, that’s okay, I’ve got it.”
Eden grabs it, hooking it over her shoulder, but pauses with her hand on the door handle before walking out.
“Felix, will you stay in here with me tonight?”
“You couldn’t kick me out.”
Biting her lip, she walks out of the bedroom and heads down the hall to the full bathroom. I suck in a deep breath and use the tiny half-bath to get ready for bed. It’s so small that I hit my elbows on the wall if I turn too quickly.
By the time Eden returns, I’m changed and under the covers. The scent of her bodywash hits me first, making my mouth water.
“Do you even know how tempting you are? You were aptly named, Eden. No one who stepped foot in your presence would be able to resist that apple.”
She smiles as I hold up the blankets and she crawls into bed beside me. I wrap my arm around her and shift closer until our bodies touch, and I’m able to look into her eyes.
“That was Eve. I’m just the garden.”
“Maybe Eve took the bite, but who could resist when surrounded by such tempting perfection?”
“Oh my god, stop….” Eden giggles.
“I’m sure that’s what Eve said too,” I tease, and her jaw drops as she swats my shoulder before laughing.
“Great, now we’re both going to go to hell.”
“I think I was going there long before now,” I say, moving an unruly piece of hair off her cheek. “It will be nice to have such sexy company.”
“Excellent, we can burn together,” Eden says.
The smile falls from my face as I cup her chin and make her look at me. She trembles slightly, her eyes going wide.
“I will burn a thousand lifetimes if it means we get to be together,” I whisper, my voice ragged with craving.
“Do you mean that,” she asks, uncertainty plainly staring back.
“Eden…is it not obvious that there is nothing I won’t do to be with you, to keep you safe?”
She licks her lips and nods once.
We lie there staring at one another, and I know that I’ll never let anyone come between us. That asshole today learned the hard way. I smirk and then lean in to kiss her forehead.
“We better get some sleep,” I whisper.
“What if I don’t want to sleep?”
Eden’s voice is so soft I almost don’t catch it.
I suck in a deep breath as Eden trails her nails along my neck. My cock is hard again in an instant.
“That’s dangerous talk. I’m not sure I can play tonight and keep from going…too far.”
She licks her lips again, and I wrap my hand around the back of her neck, holding her tight. It draws the sweetest little gasp from her. Her pulse pounds wildly in the side of her neck, and her eyes are full of desire.
“Looking at me like that is also very, very dangerous.”
“What if there is no too far?”
My lips hover over hers.
“There is always too far in anything,” I say, brushing my mouth against hers.
“You know what I mean.”
“Do I?”
She huffs and attempts to look away, but I tighten my grip on her neck.
“Tell me how I make you feel when you’re near me,” I order.
She shivers despite the warm blankets and our body heat.
“Um…my heart races, and my stomach…it twists.”
“Is that all?” I growl and nip her bottom lip.
Eden gasps.
“No,” she says in a rush, her chest rising rapidly with each breath.
“Then tell me what else.”
She hesitates, her shyness shining through.
A dark possessiveness rises inside me like a great beast. Eden is mine. She saved herself for me. It was fate that brought her into the Needle Queen that day. I was meant to save her and lose my father in that crash like a blood sacrifice.
My Pretty Thing has nothing to be shy about when she is with me. She is all I want.
“I…get hot all over. And I ache for you.”
“Ache where?”
I smirk when she opens her mouth, but no words come out.
“You can say pussy. In fact, you can talk dirty to me all you want.”
Running my lips along her jaw to her ear, I whisper, “When I stroke my cock, I think of you. You know what else I do?”
Pretty Thing shakes her head.
“I say your name when I come. Do you want me to say your name tonight? Is that what has you so tied up for words?”
“Yes,” she says, moaning softly as I kiss the sensitive spot under her ear.
Pushing myself up on my arms, I stare down at the thieving creature that stole my heart.
“I need you to say it.”
Eden licks her lips, but I’m not going to rescue her this time. I may be a monster, but I’m a fucking gentleman.
“I want you to be my first,” she says.
“And?”
“I want you tonight.” She glances at the door. “Unless…”
I shake my head.
“I’m sure I can swallow your screams sufficiently.”
“Then…yes.”
The feral possessiveness that takes over my body is something I can’t control. All I know is that Eden becomes mine tonight, and nothing will stop me. Throwing the blankets off, I march for the door and flip the lock. When I turn around, her eyes are focused on the tent in my boxers.
“Take your top off,” I order.
Eden blinks and looks up at me before pulling the T-shirt over her head. My mouth waters as she tosses it aside and I catch a glimpse of her nipple before she pulls the blanket up to cover herself.
“Now your shorts.”
She shimmies them down her legs, and they land somewhere across the room.
I never take my eyes off hers as I move to the end of the bed.
Eden bites her lip when I grab my shaft through my boxers and stroke it for her.
She wiggles under the blankets, her cheeks flushing.
I hold my finger up to my lips, signaling her to be quiet, and she nods.
Slowly lifting the blankets, I push my boxers lower so they slip down my legs, and then I crawl under.
Eden jumps when I touch her. I’m careful with her ankle as I spread her legs, pushing them up so her knees are bent.
It’s dark, but I don’t need light to see her in my mind.
If I’m struck blind tonight, I will still know exactly how beautiful my Pretty Thing is.
I’ll never forget how she tastes on my tongue and feels under my hands.
I’ve memorized every square inch of her body.
The last thing I have to experience is what it feels like to be inside her.
Eden wrapped around my cock is the final step in making her mine forever.
Her body trembles, and she tries to close her legs when my hands slide higher up her thighs. But my grip is firm. I hold there until I’m sure she’s done warring with her modesty. I kiss a soft line along her leg, and she lets out a tiny gasp. So sensitive.
I tease her first, rubbing her clit in small, slow circles until she sighs and I feel the tension fade. That’s when I strike with my tongue.
“Oh my god,” Eden cries, her body arching up into my mouth.
My sweet Eden loses herself. I groan and slide my hands under her ass, lifting her just enough to give me better access while my tongue plunges into her repeatedly.
Eden grabs my hair when I suck her clit into my mouth, and I almost come on the spot. I let go of her leg to fist my cock, squeezing it until the feeling subsides.
The ache I’ve suffered wanting her and always holding myself back is excruciating.
I’ve spent months learning everything about my Pretty Thing and always being on the periphery of her life, not in it.
Jerking myself off multiple times a day barely quenches the thirst I have for Eden.
And now here she is, my mouth on her core as she rubs her delicious cunt over my tongue.
Hard work really does pay off.
Lust builds in her like a storm. It’s taking over and consuming her as she has consumed me all this time. I eat up every little sound of pleasure she makes. The uncontrollable monster in me, the darkness lurking just under the surface, takes over and I growl, digging my fingers into her soft skin.
“Felix…oh…oh…I’m going to come,” she whispers, her voice low and harsh. “Uh…uh…ahh,” she squeals, the sound muffled. I assume she’s biting the edge of the comforter or pillow.
Her body arches and I suck and lick harder, devouring every last bit of her release. She tastes so fucking sweet. She’s a meal I’ll feast on every day for the rest of my life. Eden is mine.
My Pretty Thing.
Eden goes limp, and I lazily circle her clit, enjoying every twitch. Making my way up her body, I nip at her stomach, and she yelps. I place tender kisses on her ribs before reaching her pert breasts. Her words revert to mewling noises as I go back and forth between each nipple.
Satisfied that she’s ready for me, I drag my tongue across her chest and up to her lips. I don’t just kiss her. I demand she hand herself over to me fully.
Once I’m assured of her complete surrender, I pull back. My eyes roam over her pleasured face. Cheeks flushed, eyes hooded, the picture of complete bliss. I did that. Not anyone else…me. I’ll remember how Eden looks right now until my dying breath.
