Chapter 24 #2
Something inside me breaks as I continue to watch her. She’s about to turn around when I call out to her, and she pauses.
“Maybe we could talk again?” I ask, and hope flickers across her eyes. “Maybe meet up for coffee?”
She smiles, and it lights up her entire face. “I’d like that,” she whispers before waving me off and disappearing into the forest and leaving me with a pile of worries I didn’t have a moment ago.
With the Vims in place, I try to shove what Willow told me to the back of my mind for now and focus on my plan.
I glance down from my position in the tree and watch them stay as still as possible.
With a rush of excitement, I open my connection to Knox.
“Knox?”
He answers immediately. “Baby? Are you okay?”
A swell of emotion surges through me at the worry in his voice. “I’m fine. I need to talk to you.”
“Tell me where you are and I’m there,” he says.
“Come find me in my hiding spot in the forest. Theon says you know where it is.” I bite my smile when he curses Theon left right and center.
“You going to kick my ass?” he asks with a hint of humor in his voice.
“And if I was?” I ask.
“I’ll take a beating any day over you ignoring me. I’m on my way.” His tone is soft but completely serious, making my heart break and guilt run amok.
I take a minute to get my emotions under control before creating my shield around me. But then I pause and second guess my little game. We haven’t properly talked in a while, and things might not be the same between us.
But then I remember when Knox left me in the pit of mud in the rain. The dick needs to be kept on his toes.
I hear movement from below and look down to find Knox not too far from me.
“Where are you?” he asks, brows furrowing as he searches for me below.
“I thought you knew all my hiding places.” I bite my lip from laughing at the little frustrated expression on his face now.
“You found new ones every couple of days at the start,” he points out and I roll my eyes at him.
“God, you really are a stalker.”
He chuckles and the sound of it soothes something inside my chest. I glance down at the Vims and without having to say anything, they rush toward him.
“I— What the fuck?!” he says out loud, and I glance over to find the Vims trying to coil around him and hold on for dear life.
I quickly climb down from the tree and make my way over to him.
He’s too busy trying to get the Vims off him to notice me so I move quick and swipe his legs from under him, knocking him on his ass.
I climb on top of him as the Vims hold out his arms and legs, coiling around them to hold him down.
He immediately freezes when he sees it’s me. A huge smile breaks out across his handsome face.
His eyes scan every inch of me before settling on my face. “What was your plan? Get the Vims to weaken me. Then kick my ass?”
I drag my hands down his chest and hide my smile when I feel him shiver beneath me. “I knew they couldn’t drain you that much. It took all night last time.”
He raises a brow as his eyes darken with heat. “But that was only two.” He glances between the Vims and me. “And you have half a dozen here.”
I finally let my smile free and lean down onto him, my lips hovering above his. “Maybe I just want you at my mercy,” I whisper and feel him harden beneath me.
His eyes turn molten. “Tell me what you want, and it’s yours,” he breathes. “But first tell me you forgive me. That you won’t ignore me anymore. That you’ll talk to me all the time. Tell me—”
I press my lips to his, silencing his worries and fears and run my hands up his chest to his neck.
He groans and it curls down my spine. I pull back a little and watch his gaze dart from my lips to my eyes.
“You forgive me?” he asks and every part of me softens.
“Theon told me everything,” I say and feel him still beneath me. “I never wanted to be apart from any of you. And I never said anything to Levington about wanting to stay away from you.” I curl my hand around his cheek and watch as the tension seeps from his body.
“Theon also told me where you were last month. I thought you were all completely ignoring me and blocking me out. But you were in a damn prison cell.”
His eyes soften as he turns his head and places a soft kiss on my palm… “Sena…”
“I missed you, Knox. I really fucking missed you all.”
He pulls his hands free from the Vims as if it’s nothing.
I still. “You could have freed yourself anytime?”
He chuckles as he wraps his arms around me. “My mate wanted to play. And I was more than happy to be her willing victim.”
He narrows his eyes on the Vims, and they scatter, quickly disappearing into the forest, leaving us alone.
“Just so you know, I’m going to fucking destroy Levington for the shit he’s caused between us,” he grits out.
“You’ll have to get in line,” I tell him and feel him throb beneath me as his eyes heat with lust.
I raise a brow. “Me threatening people gets you hard?”
“You looking at me makes me fucking hard. If you knew the things I want to do to you…” His dark eyes trace every inch of my face before trailing down my chest and stomach.
I roll my hips, needing to feel him, and he groans. “Tell me?” I beg before dipping down to place another kiss on his lips and down his neck and back to his chin.
“Should I tell you all the dirty little things I’ve imagined doing to you?” he rasps as his grip around me tightens. “All the things I can’t wait to try.”
“Yes,” I whisper and before I realize it, he moves us, switching places with me so I’m the one on my back and he’s hovering over me.
I’m absorbing the feel of his body on mine when he leans down and places a soft kiss on my neck before pulling back to look at me. “I dream of what you taste like…” he says on a throaty groan before rolling his hips into me and pulling back a little.
I squirm, wanting to get closer to him, and his grip tightens. “And what sounds you make when I’m inside you…”
“Knox…” I bite my lip and our eyes lock.
“What do you want, Sena?” he asks as he rolls his hips again but this time, right where I need it.
Ripples of heat slide across my body and a delicious feeling uncurls inside me.
“You’ll always be the one in control,” he says before leaning down and capturing my lips with a husky groan.
My hands reach up and curl into his hair, dragging him closer. He steals every little gasp and moan while grinding into me and making me lose my damn mind.
A reckless, savage lust unlike anything I felt before quickly consumes me.
Needing to feel more of him, I open my legs wider and arch into him.
“Tell me no one is around?” I beg and he stills before pulling back to stare at me with as much lust, longing and hunger as I feel.
“I want you,” I tell him, leaning up to kiss his jaw. “Now.”
He searches for something in my face but doesn’t have to search long before his entire expression becomes nothing but hunger and need.
“Fuck,” he rasps before glancing around and narrowing his gaze on everything around us while my eyes explore his sharp jawline, his broad shoulders, his thick, dark lashes and his lickable dimples.
A muscle jumps in his jaw as he looks me over. “How far do you want this to go?”
“I want to feel you,” I tell him and watch as his hungry expression turn smoldering. “All of you.”
He doesn’t reply, instead he captures my mouth in a hungry kiss, teasing me until I’m aching for more. Until my entire body burns for him.
“Will I make you come like this?” he asks grinding a little harder while my brain short-circuits.
“Please,” I whimper as my orgasm builds and desire pounds through my heart, chest, and head.
Heat coils in my lower stomach, slowly spreading. I can’t think past anything but the feel of him as I slowly start to come apart.
Just as I’m about to unravel, he pulls back.
I open my eyes to curse him out when I feel him unbutton my jeans and slide his hand down to my core.
“Fuck, baby. You’re so fucking wet for me,” he rasps as he slowly pushes a finger inside me before dragging it out. In and out. In and out. Over and over until all I can think about is the feel of him and how much I want him.
My whole body trembles in need as he keeps up his agonizing slow pace, until I’m clawing as his shoulders and sides, panting and begging for a release.
He adds another finger, and the slight pressure and delicious stretch makes me gasp.
“That’s it, baby,” Knox whispers, and the husky sound of his voice slips down my back making me shiver.
I arch into him as he curls his fingers. His thumb barely touches my clit, and I fucking explode, clenching around his fingers as ripples of pleasure rush up and down my spine.
My eyes find his intense heated gaze as he slips his hand from me and licks his fingers like he’s imagining all the delicious, wicked things he’s about to do.
He leans down to kiss me, and I moan tasting myself on his lips. The kiss quickly grows hard and demanding like he wants to consume me whole.
“I need to feel you,” he growls into my mouth and seconds later I feel the world tilt as he moves us. I open my eyes to find myself facing the thick trunk of a tree as he yanks my jeans and underwear down my legs.
My palms hit the rough bark of the tree as he stands up and moves his hands up my sides, dragging them up and under my top to curl around my breasts.
He slowly glides his hands back down my body and leans forward. “You have no idea how fucking beautiful you are right now,” he groans while spreading my legs and angling my hips before sliding his hard length along my core.
Fuuuck. My legs turn to Jell-O, but he holds me up before slowly entering me from behind.
I gasp as a twitch of pain makes me tense up, but it quickly disappears allowing me to absorb the feel of him.
“That’s it. Take all of me,” he says as heat unfurls inside me once more. I feel every inch of him stretch me, feel the heat of his length as he slowly fills me to the hilt.
He leans forward and groans against the back of my neck, his tongue flicks out and slides against it.
Heat coils low in my stomach once more, slowly spreading out to every limb.
“I don’t think I can be gentle,” he says, his breathes ragged against the back of my neck.
“Don’t care,” I moan, “So fucking full,” I tell him barely able to speak with the intense overwhelming rush of desire flooding through me.
“Remember, you asked for it, baby,” he breathes as he pulls out of me before slamming back into me in one swift thrust.
I gasp as pleasure ripples across my body. He doesn’t wait for me to adjust this time before he slips out and thrusts back.
Over and over again, he keeps a relentless pace until he works my body into a slick mess of heated frenzy.
“Knox,” I cry out. “Please,” I beg, needing something more to push me over the edge.
“Is this what you wanted?” He thrusts into me again, harder this time, as if hearing my plea and taking complete control of my body, working it until every nerve ending is heightened and overheated.
I claw at the tree as pleasure and raw desire pounds through me, and his pace becomes almost punishing.
“Come for me, baby,” he grunts and surges up into me. The deep angle setting every fucking nerve I have alight.
“Knox,” I scream as I clench around him.
Spasms sear through me, sliding down my spine and spreading across my entire body. Jolts of intense pleasure shoot up through me as my body finally explodes.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” he groans, and his body grows taut as he spills into me.
Light flashes behind my lids before a warmth fills my chest and spreads out to every limb.
I feel Knox’s weight lean into me as his shadows snap out and coil around us both. Moving and spinning as the warmth in my chest grows and grows until it spreads to every inch of my body and explodes. Sharp tingles shoot across my body as his shadows slowly unfurl and disappear.
“What the fuck was that?” I ask when I can finally catch my breath.
Knox slides out of me, and his hands move up my sides while he places soft kisses on every inch of my neck and shoulders.
“We just completed the bond,” he says with awe in his voice. “You’re mine.”
