Chapter 4
Chapter Four
Ena
The sun was already setting outside the cave, so Steig volunteered to take watch.
Ty was confident that the threat of Occidens witches pursuing them had passed, but apparently this close to the Underworld, there could be other daemons passing by, and it would complicate things if the four of them were caught here before speaking with Cole.
Turner had curled up on the far side of the cave, his snores already echoing off the damp walls, and Ena found herself sitting alone, her mind trying to process all she had learned.
She felt good about her decision to pose as Ty’s witch-slave, but she couldn’t help but wonder where that left them—the two of them, together, or not together, as it were.
She was just wondering if she should go and find Ty to talk about it all, when he approached her.
“Did you get enough to eat?” Ty asked quietly as he sat down next to her.
“Yeah, I did,” Ena said, touched at his care.
“Good,” he said, staring at her in that intense way of his. “You should get some sleep too. Steig and Turner agreed to take turns on watch so we can rest.”
“Okay,” Ena said, but she didn’t move a muscle. She stared back at Ty, their eyes locking in the firelight, so much unspoken between them.
Why wasn’t he kissing her? Was he giving her space? He’d said he would always be hers, but that didn’t necessarily mean he wanted to be together. Should she be brave and tell him what she was thinking?
She looked away to fidget with her hands, not knowing how to begin the conversation they needed to have.
“Ena, I—” Ty began, seeming unsure too. She looked back up at him, drawn to the uncharacteristic vulnerability in his voice.
“I don’t know where we stand, or what’s going on in your head after…
everything. I know you came to help with the amulet, and I’m so grateful for that. But I need you to know…”
Ena’s heart lodged in her throat. Was he about to say he didn’t want to be with her? That they couldn’t be, that it was too complicated? Was this him letting her down gently?
And then he reached out and took her hand in his. His palms were warm and steady, and the feel of them enveloped her.
“I know things are complicated, and they’re about to get even more so.
So, if you want to just make this about breaking the bond, and not about us, I’ll understand.
But I don’t want to push you away anymore.
I can’t. Every second we’re not together, every second I’m not touching you, or kissing you, is like torture.
I meant what I said in Occidens. I’m yours, and I always will be. If you’ll have me.”
Ena’s heart ached at his words, and she felt tears prickle in her eyes. How on earth was she meant to respond to that? She had no words, so she did the only thing she could think to do—the only thing she felt like doing.
She leaned forward and kissed him.
He smelled like woodsmoke and honey, cedar and stone, and she breathed him in like he was the only air she would ever need. Ty inhaled sharply as their lips came together, breathing her in too, before bringing his hand up and cradling the side of her face.
Ena felt herself falling into it, wanting to get lost in his kiss, but she had something to say too, so she stopped herself and pulled away, looking deep into his eyes.
“I meant what I said also. I’m yours, Ty, and I want to be with you. In every way,” Ena said quietly, her heart feeling lighter than air at finally being able to speak the feeling out loud.
Ty smiled widely, the joy and relief evident in his eyes, before pulling her into him and kissing her again, fiercer this time.
His tongue parted her lips, entering her mouth as his warm taste filled her.
Ena had been waiting for this every day since the last time they’d kissed, and she gave herself over to it completely.
Their kiss deepened as his tongue swirled and teased around hers, driving her absolutely mad as he wrung her body tighter and tighter.
Ena whimpered a little, leaning further into Ty’s body until her breasts were pressed against him.
He hummed low in his throat at the contact, then reached out to grab one of her breasts, stroking his thumb over her nipple in a way that made her clit throb.
“Wait,” Ena said breathlessly, suddenly realizing where they were and pulling back again. “Are you sure we should do this…here? Turner’s right there,” she whispered, looking pointedly in the man’s direction.
Ty never took his eyes off her, his gaze dark and commanding. “Turner sleeps like the dead. He won’t wake for anything,” he said, his voice low.
“And Steig?” Ena asked shyly. “Won’t he sense us? You know, with his Power?” She knew his cupido could amplify lust, and that meant he had a heightened sense for it as well.
Ty gave her a wicked look, the corner of his full mouth tipping up in such a way that made her want to bite his lip until she drew blood.
“So let him sense us,” Ty said, raising his eyebrow in challenge.
Gaia, this man. He knew her too well. She could never back down from his challenges.
Besides, it wasn’t like she hadn’t engaged in her share of public displays of affection before—her tryst with Cris at Samhain last year was a fairly recent example of that—but this…
with the others so close. For some reason, the thought made her heart beat faster with excitement, and only added to that throbbing ache between her legs.
She met Ty’s eyes and nodded slowly at him. Yes.
“Lay down on your side, viper,” he told her without hesitation.
She did as commanded, laying down so her back was to the wall and she could see the whole cavern, with the small fire, their packs and supplies scattered about, and Turner asleep on the other side.
Ena swallowed as she felt Ty lay down behind her, his hard chest at her back, before slipping his muscular arm under her head as a cushion. Then she felt his other hand slowly pull her dress up, exposing her pussy to the cold air of the cave.
“Just tell me if you want me to stop,” Ty whispered in her ear, but there was no way she wanted to stop. She felt her clit throb as wetness filled her. “Nod if you understand me,” he said. She’d never heard his voice sound quite like that before. So in control. Every word a promise and a challenge.
She nodded her understanding.
He brought his hand around to her front, drawing circles with his finger just above where she so desperately wanted to be touched.
Then he moved his finger lower, right over her clit, grazing over it gently, before dipping his finger ever so slightly inside her. He brought the tip of his wet finger back to her clit, swirling it around in tight circles that drove her mad.
She had to stop herself from moaning loudly at the feeling, instead grunting in a choked-sounding way as her hips bucked involuntarily into his hand.
“I bet you’re so fucking wet for me, aren’t you, Ena?” he said, his voice low and tight with desire.
“Yes,” she replied in a whisper. It was all she could manage.
He dipped his finger inside her again, deeper this time, hitting her clit with the heel of his hand as he moved it slowly in and out.
“Fucking Iblis, Ena,” he groaned. “You’re wetter than the River Wry. Have you been like this all day?”
Ena laughed breathlessly. “Yes,” she said again truthfully. “I’m always wet around you.”
He growled low at that, a rumbling, almost animalistic noise that made her cunt clench.
“Tell me what you want,” he said, his voice calm and demanding.
“I—I want you to fuck me,” she said in a whisper, her voice almost pleading, as she tried to focus on making words and not everything he was doing to her.
Ty chuckled at her tone, sounding so pleased with her. “Then spread your legs for me, viper.”
Ena did as commanded, opening her legs as Ty removed his finger. She felt him unbutton his pants behind her and heard the shuffle of clothing being lowered before she felt the hot length of his cock pressed up against her.
He dragged his smooth cock over her bare ass in a teasing motion that made her moan. She arched back into him in invitation, reaching back with her hand to pull his head closer to hers.
“Do it,” she said darkly.
“Not until you ask nicely,” he said, rubbing himself against her again.
“Please,” she gasped, surprised at how desperate she sounded.
He didn’t need to be asked twice. Lining up his cock at her entrance, he pushed in in one smooth, wet motion, her slick pussy parting for him as he sank in to the hilt.
They both had to quiet their groans. Gaia, it felt so fucking good to have him inside her. She didn’t think anything compared to this. The euphoria of his closeness. The wholeness of him filling her, and the feral pleasure when he began to move.
He rocked his hips slowly at first, stretching her out, then moved faster. Reaching up with his free hand to pull down her bodice, he removed one of her breasts and fondled it gently, stroking his thumb over her nipple as he moved inside her.
“You have no idea how many ways I’ve dreamed of fucking you, Ena. How many things I want to do to you.”
Ena whimpered at his words. She wanted him to do those things. Whatever he wanted. She wanted him to do everything to her.
“Will you let me do whatever I want once we’re alone again?” he whispered low in her ear.
Ena looked over her shoulder at him, biting her lip to keep from shouting as he drove into her. “Only if you let me do whatever I want too,” she said seductively, her words punctuated by the slam of his hips into her.
“Fuck,” he groaned. “Ena.” He grabbed her face, tilting it towards his to stick his tongue down her throat. He kissed her until she was breathless, picking up his pace as she got closer to her orgasm.
“What is it you want most? Tell me,” he commanded, looking into her eyes, his pupils blown wide.
She wanted so many things. How could she even answer that question? But there was one thing she hadn’t been able to stop thinking about since their time in Attax.
“You in my mouth,” she answered honestly, all shame lost to the wind as he moved his hand down to her clit once more. She groaned. “Coming on my tongue.”
Her words seemed to break him, as he moved frantically inside her, the sounds of their bodies slapping together echoing off the cave walls, and Ena broke.
She bit down on her lip so hard she drew blood as her orgasm tore through her. Her pussy throbbed and clenched around Ty’s cock as she felt his release spill inside her, mixing with her wetness to create an intoxicating slickness that had her arching her hips back against him for more.
“Damn, viper,” Ty said breathlessly. “You are so fucking stunning when you take what you want from me.”
He pulled his cock out of her slowly, and she mourned his loss as her body went limp.
Lazily, she flipped around so they were facing each other.
He looked at her with desire still swimming in his eyes.
What they’d done had been fucking amazing, but after so long without one another, it was never enough.
All that talk of what they wanted to do had left her wanting more.
And he clearly felt this too, because he moved his free arm lower between them, and then she felt his fingers at her entrance, two of them this time, as he slowly, gently dipped them inside her.
She gasped at the feeling, her body still so sensitive after her orgasm.
Then, meeting her gaze, he raised them to her mouth, showing her the slick mixture of their pleasure on his fingers.
He arched his eyebrow in silent question. Did she mean what she’d said?
But there was no question. She locked eyes with him before reaching out and drawing his fingers into her mouth, sucking with hollowed cheeks until they were clean.
His jaw clenched as she swirled her tongue over his fingertips, the taste of the two of them together combined with his salty skin hitting her tongue.
A wide seductive grin spread over her face as she released his fingers. She’d never done anything like that before, but she’d fucking loved it.
An absolutely stunned and entranced look came over his face as he watched her, but it was quickly replaced by a devious glint when he saw her smile.
“You’re so fucking evil,” he said, one corner of his mouth tipping up as he lowered his head to whisper into her ear. “And I love it.”
