Chapter 29 Kyzen #2
As gently as I can, I wrap my fingers around her wrist and remove her hand from my heart. Her gaze snaps up to mine.
“My brothers don’t know and I don’t want them to. I’ll keep it hidden. I won’t undress in front of you anymore, and I’ll wear a shirt all the time. I promise.”
She winces and her frown deepens.
“You’re worried about us seeing it?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
I exhale, trying to give myself a moment to work out the words.
“I don’t want Riven to feel guilty about what he did. This isn’t his fault. He’ll blame himself even if he doesn’t outwardly act like it. He’ll make some dumbass fucking remark about being shadow twins or some shit, but inside, it’ll eat him alive.”
I sigh, then rub my hand down my face. My huff echoes in the air as I tip my head to the ceiling.
“I can’t stand the thought of putting that look of fear in your eyes, Thayla. I refuse to be a reminder of that room for you. When I hold you close and you caress my heart, I want you to know that each beat is for you. It’s not ticking to the sunsetter.”
I bow my shaking head and close my eyes.
“When you look at me, I want you to see our eternity. Not this shadow of doubt and despair.”
Her quivering breath echoes between us, but I can’t bring myself to look at her.
I meant what I said and what I didn’t say.
I can’t stand the thought of seeing her look at me in fear or repulsion.
This mark will be a constant reminder to her, just as it is to me.
My body flinches when her fingers grip my biceps and her breath fans my chest for a millisecond before her lips press against my heart.
I fall still, unable to move as she continues to place a kiss on all the slices across the top of my chest. When she slowly drags her nails up and down my arms, I repress a tremor.
My body reacts in a way it has no business reacting right now. I can’t stop it despite that not being my intention. She notices.
She squeezes my hands before laying hers on my hips. I suck down a deep breath when her kiss lands below my belly button and she lowers herself to her knees.
“Thayla, I didn’t mean—”
The air in my lungs rushes out in a deep groan as her lips wrap around my dick, and she takes as much of me as she can down her throat.
I mutter a curse when her hand replaces her mouth.
“You are mine, Kyzen. No mark will ever change anything about that.”
My vision blurs as her tongue licks the head of my cock. The hiss trying to escape me morphs into a breath of her name as she takes more of me.
The hum in the back of her throat has me nearly snatching out of her. She doesn’t allow that, though.
Her hand that isn’t working in rhythm with her mouth grips my hip. Her fingernails bite into my skin as she forces them to move how she wants.
Heat blazes through my blood and I have to stop myself from bucking when she gags around me. It doesn’t slow her down or stop her.
She’s going to suck my fucking soul out of my chest.
She’s never been this determined to send me over the edge.
My little goddess likes having control over my pleasure.
She can have it anytime she wants. It’s hers.
I’m hers.
“Gods damn it, Thayla. You’re so fucking perfect.”
Her moan sends a shiver up my spine.
Those tear-filled eyes cast up at me through her lashes.
“I need you.”
That whispered plea rings loud in my ears and everything within me snaps. My power shoots out, wraps around her, and I pick her up off the floor.
I pin her to the shower wall and slam into her at the same time.
We both gasp and our bodies tremble together as we adjust to the overwhelming sensation. I fight back my release.
Her arms wrap tighter around my neck and feeling her bare body pressed to mine has my hips thrusting on their own.
“Yes, please. Harder, Kyzen.”
Fuck.
My restraint crumbles.
It was taking everything in me to hold back and let her body adapt since I didn’t do a fucking thing to prepare her for me.
She was ready, though.
Her want and need were evident in the way she sucked my dick exactly how she pleased with no warning whatsoever. Now why that was is clear.
Her mind knows that she’s mine and I’m hers, but she wants her body to remember.
There wasn’t a shred of resistance when I plunged into her and now, she’s growing wetter by the second. She’s clamping down on me so hard I can hardly draw air into my lungs.
Her hands grip my shoulders for balance while mine hold her ass and I pound into her.
My arms and hips work in a rhythm that buries me deep inside of her with each drive.
I don’t know where the fuck she begins and I end.
“Kiss me, Thayla.”
A guttural moan rips from her throat, then her mouth is locked to mine. Our tongues tangle in a battle of who can devour more of who.
I press us tighter to the wall. I don’t allow a gap of space between us and her clit rubs against me with every thrust.
I lose myself to her.
“Come. Fall apart for me.”
Her head leans back onto the wall and her release erupts.
Her hands, her pussy, her soul, all of her tightens around me and I slow time to watch it all unfold.
I’ll never grow tired of this sight.
It won’t matter how many times in our lives I get to watch her fall to ruin in pleasure, it will always—undeniably—be the most mesmerizing sight I’ll ever see.
My grunt snaps my power back beneath my skin and my orgasm has black spots dotting my vision. I lean into her, resting my head on her shoulder as I catch my breath and let the adrenaline settle.
Her hands trail up and down the back of my neck as she slows her rapid pants.
I lay a kiss against the pulse in her neck and gently slide out of her, but I don’t set her down on her feet yet.
“Are you okay?” I ask.
She nods and bites her bottom lip.
“Are you?”
My lips brush against hers as I cup her cheek.
“I’m a lot better now.”
“Me too.”
My sigh has my shoulders slumping and a genuine smile crosses my face as I stare at her.
She means that. Wholeheartedly.
Her eyes are clearer, more focused, than they were earlier.
She gradually glides down my body, and her palms rest on my chest as she gets her balance. I wait until I know she’s steady before I let her hips go.
“Let’s—”
I spin around, giving my back to whoever just burst through the fucking bathroom door.
“Damn, what is taking you two so long? We’ve got to go.”
Riven’s voice gets louder as he slings the shower door open and I hear his hands slap against his thighs.
“Kyzen just finished getting the cream out of my hair, you little shit.” A smirk tugs at my mouth with the sass in her tone.
“Did he have to wash it twice? Damn, I could’ve licked it out by now.”
“You’re ridiculous. I’m done now. Go get me a towel.”
“There’s one right there.”
“That’s Kyzen’s. I already took over his shower. I’m not taking his towel. Just go get me one out of his bin.”
He huffs while stomping away and I can’t help but chuckle at his ass.
“I’ll see you out here.”
I hum and reach my hand back, grabbing hers before she leaves.
“Thank you, little goddess.”
She blinks a few times, then circles her arms around me. Her cheek presses against my back while her fingers caress my heart.
“Anytime, my eternity.”
She kisses my spine at the base of my neck and my head falls back.
Fuck. This woman is my everything.
I wait until I know they’ve both left the bathroom before I cut my water off, then wrap my towel and my power around me.
I’m dressed and brushing my hair faster than Thayla’s probably decided on what to wear.
All three of my brothers turn to me as soon as I come out of my room and I snort at all the different looks on their faces.
Amick’s calculated and collected, with his shoulders straight and fingers laced behind his back. Creed’s wearing his signature scowl, with his arms crossed. Riven, unfortunately, is smirking.
“Do you have any questions you want me to make sure I ask tonight?”
“It doesn’t matter if you do. He’ll tell you that’s not important.”
“You wanting to know their relationship status with Yemi isn’t important right now and not something any of us should be asking about.”
Amick’s and Riven’s bickering continues, and I follow behind Creed when he stomps away.
“Everyone’s ready but Thayla, I assume?” I ask.
“Yeah, we’ve been waiting on you two.”
“Well, you shouldn’t have let him get shit in her hair.”
“I didn’t let him do a damn thing. He’s out of control.”
“He’s just bored. At least he’s about to have other people to fuck with aside from us.”
He grunts and I, again, follow behind him as he marches to Thayla’s room. Her door’s wide open, so we let ourselves in. She isn’t standing where we can see her, but her closet light’s off, so she’s definitely not in there.
“Are you about—what are you doing?”
I damn near slam into his back when he stops right past the threshold of her bathroom. We both watch as she snatches her shirt down.
“I was just getting dressed.”
“You weren’t. You were staring—”
“Drop it, Creed,” she says softly and her eyes bounce between us.
I clear my throat and hold my hand out to her.
“Come on, gorgeous. We’re almost late.”
“We are late.” Amick huffs from behind me somewhere.
“Good thing it takes us three seconds to walk next door,” I remark without moving my gaze from Thayla’s. I tug her into my chest as soon as her fingers graze mine. “There are no new ones.”
She and Creed sigh and their shoulders drop. They stay relaxed as we join Amick and Riven.
“Creed, go get your dessert. If you even got to make it, then let’s go,” I say.
He wordlessly leaves, scowling at Riven’s chuckle the whole way out.
“Oh, he made it and it’s delicious and sweet.”
“Great, can’t wait to try it, but you know what would make this night even sweeter?”
“What?” they all, even Thayla, ask.
“If the two of you were on your best behavior. Riven, no shit. Amick, don’t push for answers that no one wants to give.”
“I don’t see why I’d need to push for answers that should be given willingly, but very well.”
“I’m sure they’re going to tell you everything you want to know.” Riven snickers and I frown at his teasing.
