A Midnight Fae about to bite.
Shadows danced in the shower around us. Or maybe that was my vision going black.
Am I even breathing?I wondered, gasping for air.Is this real?
It’d better be fucking real.
Ajax’s lips curled against my throat. “Say it again, Cami,” he told me. “Tell me what you want. What youneed.”
I swallowed, my heart racing in my chest. There were only two words for me to say. Two words I’d already voiced, but in different ways. Now I would ensure he knewexactlywhat I needed. “Mate me.”
His sharp incisors pierced my neck in the next breath, his hard form engulfing mine as magic danced in the air around us. I could feel it twining our souls together, his fae blood mingling with mine as he swallowed my essence.
It was intoxicating. Overwhelming.Very real.
I hadn’t expected to feel it so severely, for the bond to be this tangible. But the power of it whirled between us, humming over my skin, sinking into my very being.
Ajax released me, the dark blue rim of his eyes burning like liquid sapphires as he gazed at me. “Two more,” he said, his thumb leaving my clit. “Two more and you’remine.”
I gasped as he leaned down to bite my breast, his hands on my hips hoisting me higher on the wall and leaving just his pierced tip inside me.
“Fuck,” I breathed, arching into him. He yanked me back down onto him in the next instant, his pulsing cock filling me to completion.
“One left, little rebel.” The words were spoken against my mouth.
I trembled as he drew his fangs along my lower lip, the two tingling bites on my body already healing, thanks to my fae genetics.
“Where do you want it?” he asked me, his movements below stilling as he kept himself buried inside me. “Here?” The question was an exhale that mingled with my inhale. “Or do you have somewhere else in mind?”
My eyelashes fluttered as I fought to maintain his stare, my insides a hot mixture of need and anticipation. There were so many places I’d enjoy him biting.
But a primary location came to mind.
One that reminded me of our first time together.
When Az bit me instead of Ajax.
I angled my head, my fingers dancing up his back and over his shoulder before reaching my throat. “Here.” It was the opposite side from where he’d already bitten me, in a position that wasn’t exactly over my pulse, but still on my neck. “Claim me here.”
His nostrils flared, his mind no doubt supplying him with the reason I’d chosen that spot. Maybe he could even hear the memory playing through my mind, how Az had held me up like an offering for Ajax’s cock, supporting me while Ajax took me.
And biting me when Ajax couldn’t.
But he could now.
He can bite me wherever, whenever, however he wants,I thought.
Yes,Ajax whispered back, his mind already connected to mine from the first two levels of his Midnight Fae bond snapping into place.And I’m going to bite you everywhere, Cami.
Then do it.
Ajax’s lips curled against mine.Don’t have to tell me twice.His head dipped down to my neck, his mouth skimming the spot I’d just indicated.
Electricity zipped down my spine as the third level fell instantly into place between us, the power almost seeming to precede his bite. But it was really just that quick, our souls rejoicing at the potential connection they’d sensed from the beginning.
Fated mates are not a thing,I marveled.But this…
Feels like fate,Ajax finished for me, his mental groan lighting my blood on fire. Or maybe that was his bite. Because a fresh wave of searing passion flooded my instincts in the next instant, my entire body going up in immediate flames.
