“Say it,” I demand as she watches me without a word. She’s baiting me on purpose, but I’ll happily play along if that’s what she wants. I have zero complaints about wringing every last drop of pleasure from her.
I pick up my pace before slowing once again, moving my thumb to rest on her clit, slowly rubbing it in pace with my fingers inside of her. She bites her lip, keeping the sounds I desperately crave inside, and I’m taken right back to the day in the library.
Fine, two can play that game.
Her chest heaves with every breath, and I see the outline of her hard nipples through the thin fabric of her shirt. Dipping my head, I catch one between my teeth, rolling it between gently before I suck it into my mouth.
I don’t need to see her to know I’ve won, not when her startled gasp echoes around the dungeon.
Her muttered curses make me harder, spurring me on as I apply more pressure to her clit, and she squirms in my arms.
“Storm,” she chokes out my name, her voice husky and pleading. I long to give her whatever she wants, but I need to hear her say it again.
I let her nipple slip from my mouth.
“Say it.” My voice is almost as desperate as hers.
“I love you, Storm.” Her words are breathy and low, but I hear them as if she shouted them.
“I love you, Hops,” I say, teasing her with the nickname I gave her when we were younger, and I feel her walls clench around my fingers.
Fuck me. Apparently, she likes the nicknames. I’ll have to remember to tell the guys… or not.
Maybe I’ll keep that bit of knowledge to myself.
I pull my fingers from her, and her breath hitches with a whine as she peels her eyes open to glare at me. I know she’s close. I felt it in the way she gripped my fingers. As much as I want to push her over the edge, I’d much rather feel her pleasure on my cock this time.
Just the thought has me harder than I’ve ever been in my life. My cock throbs in my pants, and as much as I want to take my time exploring her, I know we have time for that later. We have the rest of our lives, but right now, I need her, and she needs me, and that’s all that matters.
I snake my arm under her ass, lifting her enough so that I can push my pants down to my knees. My cock springs free, and I lower her down so that she can feel it press against her ass. She sucks in a breath before rocking back, running her ass along the top of my length, and this time it’s my turn to moan.
The temperature drastically changes. Whereas I’d been cool down here for the last few days, I feel like I’m burning up now. I’d thought it was because of Serena, seeing her mixed with my arousal, but now it’s almost as if my chest is burning, not just warm.
Serena’s brows pinch as she rubs at her chest in the same spot before her eyes go wide. Her head snaps up, her eyes full of panic, before she ducks her head as if unwilling to meet my gaze.
“What?” I ask, careful to keep my voice low and gentle. I’m not great at being gentle, but whatever is happening has her worried, and I don’t want to make it worse.
“The bond…” she trails off, peeking at me through her lashes. She licks her lips and takes a deep breath before trying again. “The bond is completing itself,” she says with a frown, and I can’t understand how that’s a bad thing. “I’m so sorry, Storm. I didn’t even think about it. I was just so excited to see you, and the only bond I’ve ever had was Garrett, and our bond snapped into place when our life was in danger, not when we were,” her cheeks color, and she doesn’t finish her sentence as she tries to wiggle free from my hold.
I don’t let her go, though. Instead, I hold her tighter, which only seems to confuse her more.
Good, now we can both be confused.
“Let me down, Storm. Maybe if we stop, it won’t finish, and you won’t be stuck with me…” she trails off as if that somehow explains everything.
“Why would I ever do that?” I ask, but before she can answer, I suddenly understand.
“You think this is something I’ll regret?” I ask, but it’s a rhetorical question. I can see the answer written all over her face. She refused to let us become a formal pack back home for the same reason.
She opens her mouth, but I don’t allow her to say anything. I don’t want to hear it. Instead, I lean in, pressing my lips to hers to keep her quiet and hopefully show her what my words have failed to express. She freezes for a moment before she once again melts into me, her lips moving with mine the way I know they’re meant to.
I take a step, testing my ability to move with my pants in my way. I manage to stay upright, and that’s all I really need. Two more steps puts Serena’s back to the bars, effectively trapping her in my arms so she has no choice but to stay put. I pull back, breaking our kiss again so I can look into her eyes, into the soul of what I hope will be my future.
“I could never regret being tied to you if I should be so lucky. I might not have meant to start this bond, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want it. I was upset that I took your choice, not that it was you. Nobody in this realm or any other that I would ever want to be bonded to, and there’s nothing I’ve ever wanted more in my life than to be your mate, Serena,” I rasp, my throat dry as I spill my heart to her.
I watch her for a moment, unsure how she will take it, but my unease about sharing my feelings dissolves as her eyes fill with tears, and a small smile tugs at the corner of her lips before she lunges at me. Her lips crash into mine with enough force that I stumble back a step.
“I want you forever,” she mumbles against my lips, and as if that was all it took, the heat in my chest reaches a peak before it disappears, and in its place is… Serena.
