Chapter 27 #3
“It won't be,” Xavier murmured against my lips, and my eyes fluttered open, my brow furrowing in confusion. His expression turned serious, and he met my gaze with a fiery promise. “It won't be the last time, because I will not allow it.”
I snorted. I couldn’t help myself. “And you can control that?”
He stared down at me intently. “We make our own destinies, Zara. You just have to break through that fucking hedge.”
A grin spread across my lips and a smile tugged at his as he leaned down to capture my lips again. I melted into his embrace, his cock once again moving inside of me in slow strokes.
The memory of us on those cliffs, our cliff, had my body humming.
Icy water flooded my veins, however, the more I thought of it…
he was wrong… he might be able to change his destiny, but mine wasn’t my own any longer.
My will, my choices, weren’t controlled by me, but by her.
Morgana still held that power over me, and that reality crashed over me as more tears fell down my cheeks.
Xavier stopped, leaning up to brush them away with the pad of his thumb, his palm cupping my face.
My eyes were closed shut, and I began to shake as I held back a sob.
I tried to push him away, but he stayed firmly above me, pinning me under his immense weight.
“This isn’t our end, Zara. I won’t allow it.”
“Xavier, I—”
“I won’t allow it,” he growled again, and I felt his promise in my soul.
You deserve so much more than this, Zara. I won't let her take another fucking thing from you again. You are mine, my mate, and I’ll happily burn all the damn realms if it meant that you would survive.
Desire pulsed through me again, and I was pulling him down, our mouths crashing together again. I parted for him, my legs widening, and he started to move again inside me as our tongues brushed together. I sucked his tongue into my mouth greedily, and he growled at the pressure.
Something cold pressed to my sternum, and I pulled away from our kiss, my eyes landing on his fingers, which were now coated in ice.
I raised a brow at him, but he only captured my mouth again as I felt his finger trail across my nipple.
I gasped at the icy touch, my nipple hardening almost painfully as the stinging cold pressed to my flesh.
Xavier trailed his finger lower between us, and I moaned as he reached between my thighs and circled my clit.
My hips bucked, and I squirmed beneath him as his finger swirled around the bundle of nerves, the icy bite threatening to ruin me.
I moved my hand into his hair, but something circled around my wrists, and they were pulled over my head, binding tightly together.
My eyes widened and he pulled away from our kiss, leaning up and bringing both my legs to his shoulders.
His arms wrapped tightly around them and he smiled as he thrusted his hips.
My eyes rolled to the back of my head, and he thrusted again, his fingers returning to my clit as the pressure between my thighs grew at an alarming rate.
His eyes were fixed on my bobbing breasts, his movements quickening but then he pulled away.
“No,” I growled, and he grinned.
“I told you, I'm not even close to being down with you.”
The shadows around my wrists disappeared and I sat up glaring at him.
I could tell he was about to pounce, about to make his next move but he didn’t get to have all the control. Before Xavier could flip me onto my stomach, I held up a palm and stopped him.
“Stop.”
Xavier froze, concern entering his fiery gaze.
I shook my head, leaning up on the bed, and getting into a kneeling position in front of him.
“You don’t get to have all the fun,” I purred and my hands roamed down his front, his cock hard and still at attention between us.
My palm grasped it, and his eyes closed briefly as he sighed out a grunting moan.
I stroked him, and another growl, low and deep, escaped past his lips as he licked them.
I knew I only had a moment, and I leaned down, my eyes holding his gaze as my tongue grazed his tip.
“Fuck,” he growled, and his hand went into my hair.
My lips parted around the thick length and they wrapped around him, my tongue circling as I took him deeper and deeper until he hit the back of my throat.
I moved again slowly, savoring the feel of him, the taste of him inside of me, sucking as I stroked my mouth along his shaft.
My eyes lifted to his, and he was looking down at me with so much lust, so much promise of destruction, it nearly destroyed me.
He wrenched me back by my hair, pulling me off him with a sharp pop of my lips and his palm slid to my throat as he devoured me with his mouth.
He spun me and my palms landed on the bed as his cock entered me again from behind.
I screamed, crying out in pleasure as his hand went into my hair, pulling sharply. His other on my hip.
He was already losing control, his movements turning jerky as he cried out my name.
Xavier fell forward, his body caging mine, and I smiled as his gaze ensnared mine. The emerald in his eyes were still blazing, and I had a feeling we were in for a long night.
