"That's it," he growls. "Come on my dick, Yue. Give it all to me."

His wings beat rapidly, and we rise again. The altitude change shifts him inside me, and I whimper. My walls are still fluttering, and every inch of him feels like too much inside me right now. His thick veins stroke the inside of my pussy.

He drives into me, going deeper. Each stroke builds onto what’s already there. His fingers dig into my hips, and his jaw clenches. His breath comes in sharp, ragged bursts.

"All mine," he says.

I shake my head at his words. I can't be his. Even as my body betrays me, I am not his. He belongs to someone else. My hips roll to meet his and then he stops. HE. FUCKING. STOPS.

My body trembles, and my fist slams into his chest, but the gargoyle does nothing. His dick throbs inside me, and his gray eyes meet mine.

"All mine," he growls, repeating the words.

His hand closes around my throat, holding me in place. His mouth attacks mine, sucking and pulling at my lips. My walls clench around him, and the wind whips my hair across my face. Ekon’s hips snap forward brutally, and he shoves me down onto him, holding me there. His dick swells inside of me, and his whole body goes rigid. Then he comes.

The heat hits me first as thick spurts pump into me. It floods my system. His dick jerks inside me, each pulse sending another load of cum deep into my pussy. My walls clamp around him, pulling every damn drop of cum. Overflow seeps out around his dick, splashing against my legs.

Ekon groans, and his wings shudder. His arms tighten around me as his face presses into my neck. His teeth land against my skin, but he doesn’t bite me. They just rest there. Do gargoyles bite their mates? Why the hell would it bite me? I’m not Ekon’s real mate.

His wings beat slowly, keeping us in the sky. We don’t move, hanging where we are. He beats his wings at the same rate, fluttering them quickly. Ekon’s cum, hot and thick, drips out of my well-used pussy. My thighs are slick with it, and my dress is ruined. My body lies limp against his. I can barely move.

His dick hasn’t softened inside of me, so I clench around him involuntarily. Ekon twitches, and another spurt of cum shoots from his dick. I shudder in his arms.

His mouth finds my ear again. "Mine," he says.

I don't answer him. My fingers curl against his chest, and my eyes close. The wind carries us over the city, and his cum leaks out of my pussy, dripping into the night air. It likely falls toward the streets below or blows in the wind.

I don't tell him to put me down even though I should.

"Mine," he says again before I fall asleep.

Chapter 14 Ekon

Iwake up alone in bed for the second time after having my mate. My wings are under my skin, tucked tight against my spine, and I'm completely naked. I sit, run a hand through my locs, and look around. Yue is gone because of course she is. The sheets beside me are cold, not cool. This kind of cold means hours, not minutes.

I pull out my phone and check the time. It's almost dusk, which means I have an hour before my shift at Midnight Embers. I also have three missed texts from Ashari asking where the hell I am and zero messages from Yue. I send her a text anyway.

Me: You left.

I wait for a beat, but she doesn't respond. The room is dim, early evening light bleeding orange through the blinds. My jeans are crumpled on the floor where I kicked them off. I rise and move to the bathroom, showering and cleaning myself before throwing on my clothes.

I check my phone again and send Yue another text.

Me: We should talk.

No response on her end.

Me: At least tell me you got home safe.

Three dots appear, then disappear before they appear again.

Yue: I'm fine. See you at work.

That's it. No acknowledgement of what happened between us. Just five words in the form of a text that feel like a door slamming in my face.

I grin despite everything. She's running, and if there's one thing I've learned about Yue Blackwood, it's that she only runs when she's scared. Let her run. I'll catch her.

Midnight Embers opens at dusk. I'm there twenty minutes before. I rush to the dressing room, unable to see Yue.
