“Come here,” I encouraged, reaching for him. “I need you. I just… I just need you.”
“You have me,” Wild assured me, crawling over my body, his cock brushing my clit. “You always have me.”
He didn’t tease me, bracing his weight on one arm, grabbing his shaft, lining up with my entrance, and pushing forward slowly. I sucked in a breath at the stretch I hadn’t been quite ready for but craved nonetheless, my back arching into his touch.
“I love you, my darling Grace,” Wild murmured, rocking his hips gently, giving me time to adjust. “I always have, I always will. I think I fell in love with you just watching you from afar through the cameras, even if I wasn’t ready to admit it to myself. The way you were so out of your element in Milton and yet so brave. So determined.”
“Don’t make me cry,” I ordered, wrapping my legs around his back.
Wild laughed silently, burying his head in my neck. “Can I make you scream instead?”
“It’s probably inadvisable,” I whispered, not protesting when he hooked his forearms behind my knees, bending me in half. Each thrust hit that much deeper, and a strangled cry escaped me despite my best intentions to stay quiet.
“That’s it,” Wild encouraged roughly, his rasping grunts of pleasure like music to my ears. “Relax for me.”
“Harder,” I whispered, taking us both by surprise. But Wild was wound up from the battle, primed tofuck,not to make love, and I wanted to meet his needs the same way he always met mine.
I still felt shyaskingfor what I wanted, but there was no doubt that Iknewexactly what that was. No. I knew exactly what I needed to feel good.
Wild didn’t argue, the bed creaked and bumped against the wall as he powered into me the way he’d been craving. I sucked in a surprised breath when he snatched up my wrist, sucking my fingers into his mouth before encouraging me to slide my hand between our bodies. Forgetting my inhibitions, I circled my clit just the way I liked it, finding release in an embarrassingly short time. Wild groaned as I clenched around him, his movements growing jerky before he pulled out completely and flipped me onto my front.
Half boneless, my upper body lay on the mattress, and I pushed my hips into the air, making a muffled sound of impatience at how long he was taking.
“Thisview,” Wild growled, squeezing my cheeks roughly. “Fuck, Grace. One day when I have time, I’m going to worship this ass properly.” Once upon a time, I’d have been mortified by the idea, but remembering howgoodit felt when Riot had been teasing me there…
“Okay,” I agreed breathily.
With a frustrated groan—perhaps that he didn’t have the time now—Wild grabbed me by the hips,yankingme back on his cock. I pressed my mouth against my forearm to stifle the sounds I was making, rocking back against him but mostly letting Wild set the pace, as he did in every aspect of life.
It wasn’t long until I was tightening around him again, pleasure rippling out to every inch of my body. Wild followed a moment later, with another delicious groan of pleasure. I’d never get used tohearinghim. It wasn’t the same as feeling him through the bond, but it was definitely its own kind of miracle.
Wild held me close, rolling us until we were on our sides, his cock softening inside me. After we’d caught our breath, he got up, insisting I stay still while he cleaned us both up before climbing under the blankets. I draped myself half over his chest and thigh, wanting to be as close to him as possible for aslongas possible.
“The bond didn’t come back,” Wild murmured, sounding half-asleep already. He was probably exhausted.
“No,” I agreed quietly, a twinge of disappointment hitting me square in the chest.
“You don’t sound surprised. Did you and Dare already test this? For science?” he teased sleepily.
“We did,” I laughed quietly. “I knew not to get my hopes up this time.”
Wild hummed before falling silent for so long that I assumed he’d gone to sleep.
“I miss it, but it doesn’t change anything, Grace. The bond didn’t make me love you, and it’s not going to take my love away.”
Wild woke me before dawn, his armor clinking lightly as he did his best to dress quietly. He’d lit a candle to see by, and I took a moment to admire him in the flickering low light.
“You can stay here,” Wild murmured as I sat up. “Theodoros, one of the Spartoi, will stay outside the room and watch over you.”
“Oh no, I don’t want to split your resources just so that I can sleep a little later.” I was already pushing off the blankets. “I want to help, wherever I can. Besides, I have offerings to make.”
Hopefully Gaia would send something else I could use if the scorpions were no more.
Wild nodded in approval, handing me a stack of fabric. “Theodoros found some clothes that look to be close to your size. They’re clean, at least.”
I barely restrained myself from squealing, grabbing a pair of cotton pants that were so small I couldn’t do up the top button, a slightly-too-large t-shirt, and a scratchy brown knitted sweater that I had to roll up a few times at the sleeves.
I didn’t care. They wereclean, and it was the most comfortable I’d been in days. I even had woolen socks that were long enough to cover my ankles where the too-short pants finished and were thick enough to fill out the ill-fitting boots. Since the darkness had lifted, the weather had warmed significantly, but it was still approaching winter and there was a definite chill in the air.
