I trembled as his shadows coiled around my nipples, kneading and teasing my sensitive flesh until an unbearable ache spread across my nerve endings. They jabbed and thrummed around my clit, stroked and pried at my asshole, before finally wiggling deep inside my cunt, filling me with exquisite pleasure that burned deep in my core.
A primal scream ripped from my throat as I clawed at the hard strings of muscle that shifted on each side of his spine. “Malyr…”
“I love it when you allow yourself to moan my name,” he crooned. “Take my shadows. Let them spoil you.”
My fingers dug deep, likely drawing blood, but all it did was lure a masculine groan from his throat as he fucked into me harder. Scratching my nails down his back, I desperately searched for hold as my mind threatened to drown in the rapture, until they sank into the depression of his taut buttocks. Gods, the way those muscles clenched each time he thrust into me…
I palmed his ass, pulling him deeper into me with each thrust. At each retreat, I ran my hands over those relaxing cheeks. The closer I came to the dip between them, the louder he moaned, his cock turning impossibly harder, throbbing inside my clenching cunt.
Surrendering to impulse, I grabbed his cheeks, kneaded them and spread them apart. Loved how an edge of desperation laced his panted moans and how his entire body trembled against mine. How his cock pulsed—
Malyr stiffened against me so suddenly, so completely, the weight of his body seemed to triple. He squeezed all the air from my lungs, but only until he slipped off me, jumped to his feet, and stared down at me with glistening eyes.
“Why did you do that?!” His sudden shout came with a black swell of shadows that cast over his eyes, sending a shudder through me. He was all anger and vibrating rage. Furious. “Why would you touch me like that, huh?”
My throat seemed to loop into a knot, not letting a single gasp of air into my lungs, amplifying that confusion that quickly settled onto my thoughts. “I… I thought you liked it.”
A flinch went through him, head jerking back as if I’d physically slapped him. He gasped, swallowed thickly, only for yet another gasp to tumble from his quivering lips.
Then he shifted and flew off.
ChapterThirty-Six
Sebian
Present Day, Valtaris, throne room
Something was wrong.
Malyr sat on a throne as dramatic as the man himself—a monstrosity with ten massive wings carved fromaerymelspreading out behind the hard seat—looking rather lost with how he sank his head in his palm on an exhale. “You are doing it wrong.”
“Clearly.” At the center of the throne room, Galantia stared at the polished black floor in her shadowcloth dress, her shoulders slouching after a dozen failed attempts at wielding his shadows. “Maybe I wouldn’t be doing it wrong if you told me how to do it right?”
Malyr’s jaws shifted, the grinding of molars against molars sending gooseflesh across my skin. They’d done that for two days now, hiding their frustration behind calm voices and lackluster conversations. Either that, or they didn’t talk at all, which was damn uncomfortable when one shared a nest with them. There was only so much awkward silence I could take at night before they finally fell to sleep, returning some fucking air in the room to breathe.
This shit needed fixing.
My attention drifted to the servant girl who carried a bowl of fruits. When she passed by, I plucked a goldenberry they must’ve brought from Lanai, and popped it into my mouth.
The girl turned to look at me, her cheeks flushing a peachy pink as she giggled and curtsied. “Lord Sebian.”
I lifted my hand and pointed at those three braids Galantia had weaved together down along my scalp this morning. “I’m no lord.”
Cute, how she flushed even harder, almost tripping over her feet as she hurried off. As far as I was concerned, I was bonded. Maybe not by soul, but by heart.
“Watching dough rise is less strenuous than watching them tiptoe around each other,” Asker whispered as he stepped beside me. “Do you know what transpired between them?”
I shook my head, unable to twist my brain around this, same as him. I’d found them at the grotto that evening, just when Malyr had finally told her that he loved her.I will be the night, the darkest patch of sky around you?What man came up with that stuff when his cock was undoubtedly already throbbing in the water? I’d bet three coins that he’d fucking studied that line for days!
And then he’d… fucked it up. How?
On instinct, my hand lifted to my side, scratching an itch there. I’d left when they’d kissed. As much as I usually enjoyed being with both of them, I loved my time with Galantia alone just as much. Like this morning, after Malyr had left to do princely stuff, and we’d stayed in the nest a while longer to make love. Not all moments needed sharing. Surely, Malyr had enjoyed having her emotionally closer to him than ever before… until he’d fucked it up.
How, exactly, had he done that?!
Another itch on the side of my neck, like a faint tingle when someone stared at you. Like the way Asker was…
“Do I owe you money?” I glanced at him and shrugged. “I told you, I don’t know what happened.”
