Chapter 19 #2
He gently stroked my hair, his fingertips brushing my scalp in a soothing motion that sent an electric sensation, igniting something deep within me. His hands trailed down toward my neck, the tender touch lighting a fire within me that burned away any lingering doubts or fears.
My breath hitched as Torin's hands continued tracing a path down my spine, awakening every nerve ending.
The contact felt like a scorching flame against my skin, warming me from within.
I arched into him, craving more of his intoxicating touch.
With Torin, my emotions were always high and intense before and even after Hayden marked me.
Abruptly, Torin pulled away from me, but before I could protest, he scooped me up, causing me to yelp. He carried me while his gaze aimed at the ground.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Looking for soft grass.” He paused and lowered me to the ground as if I weighed nothing. “This will have to do.”
I smiled at him. The grass underneath my bare skin poked at me, but it didn’t hurt. It reminded me of the man looming over me—gentle and rugged at the same time.
Moving fast, Torin pinned me with his solid body, and grabbing my wrists gently, he held them hostage above my head. I grinned at him and tugged at my hands.
He pierced me with his amber eyes and smiled. “I’m rather satisfied that you got your wolf spirit back.” His smile broadened. “It’s convenient.”
I snorted and rocked my hips up and down slightly so he would get the hint.
“Impatient much, little witch wolf?” Torin lowered his head to my breast and sucked on my nipple.
I let out a small moan.
Lifting his head inches away from my chest, Torin spoke. “Since we left my pack territory, I’ve been thinking about what I would do to you if I had you naked and willing,” he said. “The Fates must have heard my prayers because I can’t believe I have you in my arms now, Anna.”
“Huh…hum…so shifting was all part of your plan?”
“You fell into my trap,” he said and chuckled.
Lowering his head, Torin licked around my nipple and then slid his tongue over my breast up to the crook of my neck. Inhaling my scent deeply, he licked at my throat—the side not marked by another supernatural.
Torin must have felt when my muscles tensed because he straightened up and looked at me.
“I understand why you let him mark you. I also know marking was important to you.” He gazed softly at me.
“But belonging isn’t about the marking, Anna.
It’s about being loved by someone who accepts you for who you are. ”
I was about to cry and ruin the moment, but his words sank deep into my soul. I nodded and tugged my hands, and he released me immediately. I supported myself on my elbows and brought my face closer to Torin’s.
“And you’ve loved me every step of the way. When I thought I was a human, when I learned I was a witch, and when I gained my wolf spirit,” I said, lifting a hand to stroke his cheek. “Thank you for loving me through all my identity crises.”
He snickered and pecked my lips, and then his large hand slid behind my head, nudging me to lie on the ground again, so I did.
“You belong to me, and I belong to you,” he said. “Nothing else matters.”
But I was marked by another…
As Torin’s gentle fingers traced the contours of my body, his touch leaving a trail of sparks across my skin, my attention slid back to him, my focus sharpening to the delicious tingling. His hands slid around my breasts and arms while low rumbling escaped his throat.
From the desire in his eyes, I could tell he enjoyed feeling my skin under his fingertips. His caress felt like brands on my skin, like he was marking me in his own way.
It felt natural to connect with Torin in the most intimate way possible. Forgetting about the past, I had no doubts, insecurities, or fears left in my heart or mind. I was fully ready to give myself to him.
Torin moved to the side of my body, and his hands nudged my knees open. I no longer felt self-conscious and spread my legs for him. He settled between my inner thighs, glancing at my birthmark and smiling.
His fingers trailed over my navel and slid down to the most sensitive part, leaving a trail of tingles behind. He inserted two fingers and stroked me, sending me into shivers of ecstasy. My core clenched and throbbed as he curved his fingers and moved them slowly and deeply.
“Mmmm…”
I couldn’t say anything coherent as the most delicious sensations took over my body. I arched into him, silently asking for more. It seemed that Torin had become very skilled at interpreting my body language.
On cue, his head lowered between my legs, and I gasped as his lips touched my pussy. His mouth ravished me, and he devoured me with his tongue and lips. My body had craved Torin’s touch for so long that it didn’t take long before I melted into him.
The built-up tension inside me exploded. Torin’s mouth and fingers continued working me into a frenzy until overlapping waves of pleasure washed over me, causing my body to convulse. While heat streaked through me, my core throbbed and quivered.
After my release settled, I opened my eyes. I didn’t even realize I’d closed them. My gaze locked with Torin’s amber eyes, dark with desire, but still human.
“I love watching you fall apart in my arms,” he said.
Before I could say anything, Torin used his speed to flip us, so I lay on top of him.
“W-what are you doing?”
“I want you to have your way with me, little witch wolf,” he said, grinning.
What happened to the vampire who always had to be in control? Wait…
“Your vampire hasn’t surfaced yet,” I said, placing my hands over his sculpted chest.
Torin’s smile almost took on the form of a mischievous smirk. “After everything that has happened to you—to us—I can control my vampire fully now.”
Smiling, I straddled his waist. A rumble vibrated from his chest, and he sighed and relaxed. Torin dropped his hands to his sides, surrendering to me. He was giving me control—something he’d struggled with when we spent time together in his pack apartment.
I adjusted my position, sliding down over his body until his cock poked at my butt. Leaning over his chest, I heard him inhale sharply. I set my mouth around his nipple and sucked and flicked it with my tongue.
I had no idea whether he would like it, but the way his hands shot to my hips and squeezed encouraged me. I wanted to experience everything with Torin, an eternity with him, and our own happily ever after.
I straightened and looked at him. My breath hitched as his hands moved to trace a path down between my breasts to my navel, igniting every nerve ending. I arched into him, craving more of his addictive touch. His grip tightened around my waist, and he lifted me.
“Who is the impatient one now?” I asked, smiling.
With his help, I positioned myself lower until I felt his cock at my entrance. I slid down, letting Torin’s hands guide me. His erection filled me, stretching me to the fullest. He let out a rough, hungry growl as I began to rock my hips.
I held Torin’s gaze and felt his silent love for me fueling every touch, every caress. The world around us seemed to fade away, leaving only the sound of our mingled breaths. We held each other close, finding comfort as time became irrelevant.
Torin’s heartbeat escalated underneath my hands as I rotated my hips in slow circles around his cock. After a moment, he grunted, grabbed my hips, and lifted me just enough that he kept me steady while he plunged deep inside me.
He thrust into me now with more fierceness and driving hunger.
“Torin, I can’t hold it any longer,” I panted out.
After two more thrusts, I exploded, my pussy squeezing around him. Mindless ecstasy gripped me as pleasure coursed through me. I could feel Torin’s piercing gaze on me, but all I could do was throw my head back as my body spasmed around him.
I trembled, and my bones felt like liquid. Once the jolts of pleasure subsided, I looked at Torin. He gritted his teeth as if struggling to hold on just a little longer.
His cock pulsed inside me, and he let a low growl and erupted inside me, spilling into me. A warm sensation hit my core, and he shut his eyes for seconds before reopening them. When Torin looked at me, it was as if I was his whole world.
I attempted to swing my leg over him and stand, but Torin held my hips down to stay connected to him.
“Mmm…I like you like that,” he murmured.
"Tell me, Torin," I said, lowering my head against his neck, "do I still smell as delicious to you as I did when I was a human?"
"Even better," he replied.
"Drink from me," I urged him, feeling a thrill of excitement run through my veins.
He pulled back, his amber eyes searching mine. "My vampire would never hurt you, Anna."
"I’ve known that for a while. You were just too slow to catch up. Do it," I whispered, my body quivering.
He transformed immediately—his soft, silver hair, sharp facial features, hollower cheeks, and crimson eyes. Torin was a handsome man in human form, but his vampire was even more breathtaking, while his silver wolf was utterly mesmerizing.
Without any hesitation and with a soft growl, Torin lowered his head, pressing his lips against the tender skin of my neck. The sharp sting of his fangs pierced my flesh, but it was quickly replaced by a rush of pleasure that coursed through my entire body.
It was a sensation I’d never get used to—a mixture of pain and ecstasy, love and trust. His gulps of my essence rang in my ears, and after a moment, Torin licked the puncture wounds and pulled away from me.
My entire body relaxed when I suddenly felt Torin’s cock become harder, stretching me. He grinned and shrugged in the most innocent way.
“Torin,” I warned. “We have to get back to Seraphina. She hasn’t told me what she wants from me yet.”
Leaning in, Torin kissed the raw spot on my neck and helped me stand up.
“I’ll let you make it up to me another day, little witch wolf,” he said as he stood and straightened.
Now that my body was disconnected from Torin’s, my head started to clear.
Concerns flooded my mind all at once—wondering what Seraphina might demand in return for rescuing us, thinking about Hayden's status as a powerful royal in this world, worrying about the safety of my parents and friends, and contemplating the challenges I would encounter in freeing my mother from prison.
Averting my eyes to the ground, I bit my lip. Torin looked forward to another day with me, and vice versa, but that day might never come. The gravity of my situation struck me hard, as if a dark abyss had opened beneath my feet, and I teetered at the edge.
We shifted back into our wolf forms. As we reached the fire pit where our clothes were hidden behind a tree, we changed back into our human forms. I closed my eyes for a moment, savoring the comforting heat on my skin before hastily dressing in our clothes.
The warmth of the fire greeted us, casting flickering shadows on the surrounding foliage. The sound of footsteps approaching echoed, and we turned to see Seraphina gliding toward us. Her eyes held a seriousness that had me on full alert immediately.
"Follow me."
Torin and I exchanged glances.
“Did something happen, Seraphina?” I asked.
She kept walking toward one of the cottages. “Yes, his condition took a turn for the worse, so we can no longer wait. You’ll have to complete your job sooner than I thought.”
My breath hitched. I pressed my lips together and followed her. I hoped whatever Seraphina would request from me wouldn’t slow me down too much.
Or worse—cost me my life.
