CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
Astaroth
The faraway look in Calista’s eyes was a telltale sign I said the wrong thing. Humans couldn’t fathom eternity with their limited minds and internal clocks ticking away their degradable bodies. I tried to imagine her smooth skin with wrinkles and her supple body deteriorating as she lived in it. It was a depressing thought that I didn’t want to think about. I pushed it from my mind. I was going to lose the chance to bond with her tonight if I didn’t do something.
I reached over and opened the drawer on the bedside table. Nestled inside was a short vine of everberries I stowed away for tonight. Euphoria would help us relax and stitch our life sources together. She squinted at them as I took them from the drawer.
“This will help.” I plucked two and held them up to her mouth.
“Are you going to eat them?” she asked, then bit her lip nervously.
Without hesitation, I put the remaining two between my teeth and pulled the stems loose. She watched curiously as I chewed them and swallowed, her gaze locking on my bobbing throat.
Calista opened her mouth, and I popped them inside. She closed her lips around my finger then lightly sucked the tip before pulling back and chewing them up. My cock jerked inside her hand and her lip quirked before giving me a gentle squeeze.
“How long do these take to kick in?” she asked, running her thumb over my tip.
My breath hitched as she stroked me. “Not long.”
Calista released me and crawled up my body, the pendant swinging between us. Anticipation wound tight in my gut as she came eye level and stared down at me. My hands had a mind of their own, roaming up the backs of her thighs to the curve of her luscious bottom. I sank my fingers into her flesh as her lips met mine. The taste of everberries lingered on our tongues as they danced. I could kiss her all night and be satisfied… after the deal was sealed.
With little nips, she traveled along my jaw to my ear and licked my lobe, teasing it with her teeth. My legs spasmed, and my hips thrusted as I pulled her closer.
A throaty laugh rumbled in my ear. “Someone likes that,” she said, then licked up the shell of my ear to the pointed tip before kissing down the side of my throat.
“I like anywhere your mouth touches,” I breathed.
Calista raised her head, her hair coming loose from its twist. I wanted to fist it in my hand while she did filthy things with her mouth, then turn her around and bury myself deep inside her.
The tingles from the everberries began as she kissed and rubbed down my chest, intensifying every sensation. I loved watching her explore me and finding out what made me squirm.When her bottom touched my cock, she shifted up just enough to glide over it. Her hips moved back and forth in a slow torturous movement, rubbing her wetness against me. I couldn’t tell if I moaned or growled as my head fell back on the pillow. Every stroke made me harder to the point I thought I would burst.
My eyes popped open when I didn’t feel the weight of her on me anymore. Suddenly, I felt her tongue flatten against me and lick me from base to tip before sucking me into her mouth. Fingers gripping the blanket, I pushed myself into the bed to keep from thrusting deeper. She would surely choke if I didn’t control myself.
With every pass, she took a little more of me between her stretched lips. Before I knew it, my hand was buried in her hair as her head bobbed, and I was lost to the sensations of her mouth and the euphoria. She teased me like I had teased her, bringing me higher and higher and then stopping and bringing me crashing down.
When she brought me too close to the edge, I yanked her off me, spit stringing from my cock to her mouth. She wiped it off with the back of her hand and smiled. That weird feeling in my gut spun circles as I sat up and pulled her to me, kissing her and running my fingers through her hair until it fell in wild waves around her shoulders.
I was about to have everything I wanted. My future lay within the palms of my hands, moaning into my mouth with every thrust of my tongue. It had taken patience, more patience than I had ever exhibited in my life, and I was finally obtaining it. Once we secured the bond, she would feel the depths of my devotion, the lengths I would go to make her happy, and vice versa. The latter troubled me, but I could change her mind, given the opportunity.
I pulled her hips down and slipped against her entrance. She sighed as we kissed and ground against me, teasing us further.
“No more of that,” I growled and bit her lip.
Calista’s head tilted to the side, the light from the fireplace highlighted the lashes dusting her cheekbones as she giggled. I wanted to touch them, feel them fluttering on my skin as her eyes rolled and toes curled. It wouldn’t be much longer before euphoria set completely in.
Lips rounding into an O, her giggles became a moan when I pushed inside her. She clenched around me with a whimper the deeper I tried to go, halting my progress.
“Relax,” I breathed.
She winced. “I’m trying. Just… let me do it.”
I reclined and put my hands behind my head. “By all means.”
She glared at me, and I chuckled. That was until she wrapped her hand around my base, lifted one of her cheeks, and shifted her hips. I almost came as she worked herself on my cock, until she stretched enough to take me. Once she settled, she placed her hands on my tense stomach, closed her eyes, and took a breath. Our bodies trembled as she adjusted to my size, hers squeezing the blood out of my erection. I pushed my hips up to sink the remaining inch inside her and bumped into a wall. She fell onto my chest and gasped.
Leaning toward her, I took her mouth with mine and slowly began to move. She hummed against my lips, the sound vibrating through me and working me into a frenzy. I moved faster until I slid in and out of her body with greater ease.
Unintelligible words fell from her lips mixed with keening moans.
