Chapter 67 #2
Pressure and pleasure built at her core. She sat at the edge of oblivion, a place Kade so artfully brought her to time after time.
The thread between them pulsed again, and a growl rumbled through Kade’s chest. He quickened his pace and—
Evelyn shattered, her first release like a mighty wave that crashed against all her nerve endings. Kade swallowed her cry like a man starved of water.
He pulled away, planting kisses across her chest and belly, her tingling skin burning after her release. Evelyn gulped for air, trying to gain some sense of balance and reality, but Kade gave her no time. He lowered his face between her legs, her sex inches from his parted lips.
Then my tongue, he’d promised.
With the first lick through her already ready sex, Evelyn’s worries and thoughts vanished. In fact, she could only think and breathe the pleasure Kade gave her as he darted his tongue into her opening and made circular motions.
She arched back. Dug her hands into the moss. She was blinded by pleasure. On the brink of losing consciousness. Evelyn couldn’t be sure of the pleas she gasped, but they only encouraged Kade.
This was what being remade felt like. Not the games orchestrated by the gods. Here, tucked inside a small cave, with Kade lapping his tongue over her clit like he wrote the power of his love across her flesh.
Kade showed no mercy, sucking on her buzzing bundle of nerves. She’d not even settled from her first release, the growing pleasure far fiercer and wilder this time.
“Fucking flames.” Evelyn threaded her fingers through Kade’s hair and grasped his wet strands like they might anchor her in this world. “Kade.”
Evelyn fell into oblivion, and a thousand stars burst at her core. Their remnants rushed through her veins, leaving her suspended in her second release. Male pride gleamed across Kade’s face as he stared up at her with a triumphant smile.
“You alright, love?” His words tickled her sex.
Evelyn sat up, limbs feeling floaty, and planted a hand on Kade’s shoulder, tracing his facial features with the other. His proud nose, sharp jaw hidden underneath his beard, the scar running through his right brow.
More than alright, she said down the bond. I never knew love could feel like this.
She didn’t dare speak words aloud or fracture this moment, not when they might reweave their bond.
Kade’s eyes widened. Like what?
Infinite. Beautiful. Unyielding.
Evelyn dunked her hand into the water and fisted Kade’s length. He sucked in a breath, eyes darkening. Evelyn continued a slow and steady motion, sliding her hand up and down his rigid manhood.
Kade watched her with a beastly intensity, and then he snatched her hand away and grabbed her waist, encouraging Evelyn to wrap her legs around him.
She obeyed, draping her arms around his neck.
He ventured left, finding shallower water that reached knee deep.
Steam remained, encompassing them in a comforting warmth.
Evelyn never stopped soaking in his handsome face, not until her back hit moss-covered stone. Kade’s length twitched against her molten sex, and she dropped her head back, eager for what she craved.
“Are you ready, love?” He lined himself at her entrance.
“Yes,” she breathed.
He eased in, inch by glorious inch, until he sank to the hilt. Their moans echoed in the cave as they came together. Kade moved. Once, twice, a third time, allowing Evelyn’s sex to grow accustomed to his size at this angle. Evelyn’s toes curled at the friction.
Then he drove into her, over and over. Evelyn’s moans turned to screams. She loved it when Kade unleashed. When he didn’t hold back. When his inner beast sat at the surface as he pumped into her.
Fuck, of course there was a mess. A curse. A war. But there was also them, and nothing seemed impossible with Kade.
Their bond glowed. Infinite and beautiful like she’d said. The thread that unraveled began to weave itself together again. Kade moved inside her, drawing her legs a little wider and—
“Oh,” Evelyn cried out.
He found a new angle, and that spot inside her lit a fire to her toes. Evelyn was heat and life and light, and she didn’t know where either of them began or ended. The threads of their bond tangled with their building pleasure.
Evelyn’s third release began, blooming at her core, and she came and came and came, until she bled into sweet, sensual nothingness. Every inch of her tightened around Kade, even clenching around his length, and his brows pinched.
“Evelyn,” Kade breathed her name like a prayer and curse all.
He shuddered, slowing his pace as he found his own release, filling Evelyn to the brim.
Their souls touched. Sang. Life and light met. Their powers caressed the other. The last thread that needed to be woven inched—
Something hot, fiery, and wrong flared in its way. Evelyn whimpered, and Kade stiffened, brows pinching fiercer.
The glowing thread between them dimmed. Their bond stood on a precipice. Closer, but not rewoven. As if they’d failed—
“Look at me.” Kade pressed Evelyn further into the stone, keeping her steady, as he cupped her face. “Everything will be alright.”
“I know,” she lied. “I love you, Kade.” That was the unbending truth.
The rest of Evelyn’s words died on the tip of her tongue. Fear lodged in her throat. So instead, she kissed Kade to reassure him. Molded her lips to his, tasted his kindness.
They moved to another place, another position. Celebrated their bodies with pleasure and release and flesh. Again and again, until Evelyn drowned out her suspicion.
For she believed the power she’d stolen from the Sun Goddess had blocked their mating bond.
