“Show me how much you want me, little faerie—” He kisses my collarbone. “Show me how glad you are to have ended up in the wrong part of theforest.”
“Oh fuck—” My legs hitch around his thighs, but he stays as stillas stone.
“Mmm, that is an idea,” he rumbles. “But this is not how you wanted me, is it?”
Again, the sound of him shifting fills my ears until it’s his bug-red eyes staring down at my writhing form. I reach down to touch him—try to at least until I find my wrists captured between his hands and hoisted above my head. The desire I feel for him is so strong I can’t stand it. With a claw extended, he trails the length of my body, tearing down the flimsy fabric of mynightgown.
“Please—” I beg, and his dark chuckle fills my ears. In response, he trails his cock up and down, teasing myopening.
“What is it you desire, my little lostfaerie?”
“You.”
In one swift movement, he thrusts inside me so hard the only sounds I can make are muffled groans against hisshoulder.
This is exactly what I’ve been wanting, the monster unleashed and in full control of the moment. My body shakes with every deep thrust as he drives his body into mine.
“Oh my god, yes—” I scream, holding tight to his shoulders. My nails dig in the way he instructed, and despite not being able to break the skin while he’s in this form, the moan he lets out sends ripples of satisfaction through me. I can feel myself getting close when he suddenly stops. I’m a ragdoll in his arms as he bends and moves me to his whims, throwing my legs up over his shoulder and somehow driving even deeper into me.
I fist handfuls of his feathers as I scream into his shoulder. The thread of control I had over my body runs out. Sounds pour from my lips I’ve never heard myself make as I writhe and, finally, melt into him. Just when I think we’ve peaked, pleasure builds again and again and again until—fuck.
He pulls away, leaving me unbearably empty for just a moment as he tosses my legs tothe side.
“On your knees.” He orders, and even with my limbs in this blissful jelly state, I’m happy to obey and roll to my hands and knees, waiting for him to plow me into the forest floor. His fingers tease before he thrusts, deeper and deeper until I’m pressed into the leaves below me screaming his name. He twists the length of my hair around his hands and—oh my god that’s it.
I’m shuddering uncontrollably when I feel Moth begin to quake, finally allowing himself to fall off the cliff and join me in an ocean ofpleasure.
The monster of the forest, prince of Eclipsica, and love of my life collapses on top of me in absolute bliss.
“Wow” is all either of us can say as he rolls the weight of his body off of mine, and I curl to his side, and it’s perfect—absolutely perfect. We lay together in the leaves in comfortable silence for a long time.
“You are … really, really goodat that.”
“I will gladly chase you through the woods whenever you desire.”
A boom in the distance causes me to jolt from my place next to him. Followed by another. Sparks light across the night sky. And—oh my god—a firework. Of course, obviously.
We’re safe.
We’re safe.
I draw in another deep breath.
So, why won’t my body stop shaking?
“Heather, Heather, darling Heather.” He holds my shaking body close to his. “Have I hurt you? Oh, my flame. I am—”
“No, no god. It was perfect—you’re perfect. It’s just… you heard that, right? Can we move this inside?”
With the doors locked.
“Of course,my flame.”
We stand, and my legs are, as expected, jelly.
“May I?” he asks before scooping me up in his arms. I nod, leaning into his chest—my nightgown is in shreds, and blades of grass tickle across my skin. Another firework sparks, glittering in the sky, but instead of marveling at the sight, I tuck in tighter tohis chest.
“The hunter is gone. These woodsare safe.”
