I want more.

The chair wobbles precariously, and a small part of my brain registers it enough to hope that it can hold out. I’m sure it wasn’t designed for the abuse that I’m putting it through. But I’m too far gone to stop now. Even if the chair breaks, we’d likely just continue on the floor.

Our moans fill the room as we race toward our finish. We’re sweaty and slick, and I can feel my core tighten as I approach my climax. I lean forward, claiming his mouth with my own, and the decadence of my orgasm overtakes me as I groan against him.

Rej'thorek growls against me, stealing my breath as he finds his violent end. I can feel him pulsing inside of me as he takes my mouth again, kissing me until my lips are as bruised and throbbing as my pussy. Finally, both spent, I collapse against him, my head resting on his chest.

He runs his hands up and down my back, tracing lazy circles on my skin. As my pulse begins to slow, I can enjoy this intimate moment. I had been so afraid for so long. Not just because of what had happened yesterday. I was afraid of what I had done, afraid of what I had lost, afraid of what would happen to me.

But being here in Rej’thorek’s arms, all that fear fades away. I didn’t know it was possible, but I’m glad that it is.

Thinking of the demon woman makes me somber, and I shudder a little in his embrace. A thought occurs to me, and I sit up.

“What happened to the demon woman?” I ask.

“You won’t have to worry about her,” he reassures me. “She won’t be coming back.”

I bite my lip, thinking this over. I vaguely recall his hands around the demon’s neck, and I suddenly realize what must have happened.

But I don’t say anything.

I don’t want to make him say anything more about it. I know that he may be a danger to others, but not to me. He risked everything to save me.

I lay my head against his chest, and I can hear the steady thump of his heart. It’s a strange feeling, being linked into the beat that keeps him alive. I wonder if he knows what he means to me. I like to imagine that I mean just as much to him. I must – he didn’t go through all of that to protect me as his property, did he?

“I love you,” I whisper. If nothing else, I want him to hear those words from me. But I can’t know that he’ll return the gesture.

He lifts my chin with two fingers, making me tilt my head to look him in the eye. I swallow, suddenly nervous. It felt like a good idea just a moment ago, but now it feels too real. What if he doesn’t say it back?

“Love,” he begins. “Such a strange word.”

My heart sinks a little, expecting an elaborate rejection. But he doesn’t give me long to wallow, continuing. “I didn’t understand it until I saw you for the first time. I couldn’t relate to this feeling of love. But now I get it. What I feel for you, that’s love.

“I love you, too.”

A slow smile spreads across my face, and soon I’m grinning like an idiot. “Really?”

“Really,” he replies. He wraps his arms around my waist, lifting me with him as he stands from the chair. The muscles of his shoulders flex underneath my hands, fastened around his neck. I lock my hips around his waist reflexively, noting the ease that he has carrying me around.

He sets me on the edge of the table. With one hand, he sweeps the leftover plates and food out of the way, pushing them to the far side of the table. With the space now clear, he pushes back on my shoulders, forcing me to lie back. He leans over, his mouth close to mine with a mischievous grin.

“Now, let me show you how much I love you,” he growls. He slides down to the edge of the table, his tongue darting inside of me.

Before long, he has me moaning again.

In my hazy brain, only one thought manages to surface past the cloud of desire. We both have a long day ahead of us.

REJ’THOREK

I want to do something special for Laura. Something that shows her how much I appreciate having her in my life. Something that shows her that I won’t take her for granted, especially after I came so close to losing her.

The first step was sending Akos away for a week. He went to stay with Thonir. I know he’ll be happy spending quality time with his own personal hero.

Not only did Akos not mind, but it was quickly becoming something of a necessity. We had been celebrating Laura’s safe return far too often that it was getting hard to keep it a secret. Best to get him out of the house so that we could enjoy each other’s company without fear of scarring the poor boy.

And enjoy each other’s company, we have. The last few days had been spent in joyous and deep intimacy. We hadn’t done anything of note. Just spent time together, having fun, lounging around, and fucking every spare moment of the day.
