“Ride me, Daria,” he demanded against her mouth.
In the darkness of the garage, with only the dim lighting of the inside of the car, Daria rode him freely while he watched her facial expressions: the need that flashed, the hunger that captured, and the sparks of pleasure that were sprinkled throughout. Like most of their coming together, the frenzy was turned up a notch when he found her pleasure point and plunged into it until she was a trembling mess before him. He paused at the edge, took her back down, and repeated the process until he, too, was trembling from the exertion of keeping it together.
He flicked her clit and felt it swell. Then his beast was on the surface and his sharp teeth were out, grazing her neck before he remembered himself. Horror proliferated, but it was nothing compared to the insanity of seeing Daria fall apart, her muscles clenching tight and his name on her lips.
“Charlie. Oh, God, Charlie…”
He gritted his teeth and shoved the beast away, willing it to back down and give him this moment alone. When it did, he pounded into her for all he was worth, rocking them together until he felt the leap from that peak and shattered in its intensity.
That night, he stayed in her bedroom, the date a bust, but neither of them that bummed about it, considering what had gone on. He expected more demands from the woman who had just discovered how great sex could be, but Daria curled into him instead, as languid as she had been in the car.
“You almost bit me earlier.”
Trust this Fae to get right to the point.
“You know, if only you had been this blunt about your feelings, too…ouch!”
“I wasn’t the only one fighting it, you ass.”
“Fine.” Silence followed, his head looking for the words. “You are my mate, Daria.”
He glimpsed the moment she stilled, thunderstruck.
“Charlie…”
“I didn’t know it before, and it still kills me that it took me this long to realize it. We wasted so many years.”
“Or maybe,” she piped in, her hand finding his. “We just found each other at the right time.”
He didn’t think of it that way, but it felt nice to hear. He turned until she was fully resting against him. “But the mating can wait, and it’s up to you to decide if you accept it. I will be okay either way. I want us to explore this and take our time. I don’t want to rush this discovery and how good it feels.”
“I don’t want to rush it, either.”
They left it at that until they both drifted into sleep, where he felt all the bad moments taken away from him and replaced by this. It was a long, peaceful sleep…and then it wasn’t, as smoke curled around the corners and a voice whispered somewhere. It was low and made his hair stand on end.
Blood. Take her blood. Take it all until there’s nothing left.
Destroy her. Rip her to shreds until she stops screaming. Gouge out her eyes until she can’t see you.
It had him waking up in a series of cold sweats and shaking limbs, with Daria still tucked beside him and the sinister voice still echoing in his soul. His claws were out, poised to rip at the sheets around them.
And despite not knowing the source of the nightmare, Charlie felt afraid.
Chapter 14
“Are you sure this place doesn’t hold special books, and we might accidentally activate it or something?”
The question did not have a point, not when Daria was already flattened against one of the bookshelves and Charlie was deep inside her. He was pulsed, was so huge, and growing thicker by the second that there was no doubt she wasn’t the only one turned on. A chuckle rose from his lips, so dark and low that it added another layer to her already electrified skin. He placed a gentle kiss on her ear, a contrast to the way his poised body held her in place, ready to thrust at the slightest indication.
“Edmund does not keep his special books out in the open. If he had any, they would be locked somewhere no one has access to except his dearly beloved.”
He thrust, an experimental move. She bit her lip to keep from moaning, already feeling her body yielding to him.
“But a library…it’s sacred.”
“I will take you to all the libraries you want, sweetheart,” he rasped, voice hoarse with need. “Just let me have you now. Please.”
When he said it like that, there was no defense and she could only yield fully as he finally plunged in full force. The dark became their friend as he fucked her against the shelf, rattling it. A book or two crashed to the floor, the dull thud non-existent in the sounds of him driving into her and the hot grunts he emitted. She was certain she made sounds, too, but couldn’t hear them past the roaring of her head as bolt after bolt of electricity shot up and built into her system.
