He gathers my hair and smooths it down my back, before leaning forward and kissing my shoulder. It’s not a sexual kiss, but soft and gentle, because he then guides me into bed and pulls the covers around my shoulders.
The haunting glow from the moon streams in through my curtains and when I glance up at my brother’s face, I can see his features are softened. And reminds me of the past. It reminds me of the way he used to be.
I reach up and trace the slender slopes of his sharp cheekbones, his full lips and the scar on the side of his face.
He touches me too and it feels so much better when he’s just gently stroking my cheek or pulling me closer so that he can place soft kisses against the corner of my mouth.
I open my mouth and allow him to invade me with his tongue. He tastes warm and just like mint. It’s slow and steady. There’s no urgency and no hurry. Even though we’re taking it slow this time, there’s still a rush coursing through my veins. Rhys moves his tongue against mine, eliciting a deep moan from within my throat. He sucks my bottom lip into his mouth and devours me like he’s been starving all this time and I’m the only thing that can satiate his hunger and his longing for more.
I arch my neck and that’s when I feel his large hot hands on me. He uses two fingers–his thumb and forefinger to pinch my right nipple. I wrap my legs around his left thigh and begin to grind myself against him. And he allows me to do this. It’s slow and gentle. He continues to roll my nipples in between his fingers, pulling them back, forcing me to grind my pussy harder and arch my neck further.
I grab tufts of his inky black hair in my fist and that’s when we break away for air. Rhys slides his hand behind me all the way up to the space between my shoulder blades and then he pulls me closer, bringing my chest closer to his face so that he has easier access.
He licks my right nipple first. He teases the small bud until it’s hard and round. Back and forth, he allows his cool spit to coat me, before biting hard on each nipple.
I clench my thigh muscles and move up and down. It’s too late to feel even a little embarrassed about my arousal making a mess on his pants.I need to come. Nothing else matters.
“You love it when I bite your nipples don’t you, Rabbit?” Rhys asks as he moves his mouth upwards and sucks the hollow base of my throat.
“Yes,” I whisper.
“Come for me, Pi,” he says huskily into my ear. “Let go. You’re with me now.”
He slides his hands around me until he’s clutching my butt. He brings me up and down against his leg, moving me faster now and that’s when I cum.
“Rhys!” I scream his name in the dark and then I clamp my teeth against the tender skin of his neck and gently suck, tasting the slight saltiness on him.
My body trembles uncontrollably and this time it’s not from disgust or the thought of letting go. It’s only from pleasure. Pleasure that I’ve taken for myself and I don’t feel bad about it.
I cry almost immediately. My shoulders shake as I let my frustration out. Years of pent-up frustration and humiliation slither their way up my throat as I scream in the darkness of my room in my brother’s arms.
“Why are you crying, Pi?” Rhys pulls me closer to him and I rest my head on his chest, directly over his heart. “I’m here now. I’m back and I’m sorry I took so fucking long, but I’m here.”
I can feel it now, beating hard and steadily against my ear. His strong heartbeat. I hold him tightly because I never intend to let go.
“Because it’s the first time I’ve properly had a chance to experience something so beautiful,” I whisper in the dark. “You saved me.”
“I wish I could take it back,” he says. “Everything bad that I did to hurt you. I was angry, but I never meant it, Pi. And even if I wanted to stop myself from loving you, I knew that it was never going to be possible. I blamed you for not caring, for living here in this fucking shithole while I suffered in Hemlock. I should never have hurt you and I’ll be sorry forever. I’m so fucking sorry, Pi.”
In the faint light, I can see the tears in his eyes, but they’re not tears of sadness or relief. They’re tears of rage. I can feel his body vibrating with rage. It courses through his veins.
“You don’t have to apologise,” I tell him. “It’s not our fault that our parents fucked our lives. And their damage won’t end until you forgive yourself, because I’ve already forgiven you. I could never despise you when you’re everything I yearn for in life. You’re my twin flame, Rhys. We were born together, we share blood. We’ll die together and if we’re damned like the rest of our family then we’ll walk the eternal blazes of Hell together too. I’m not scared as long as you’re here by my side.”
“And in Hell, you shall be my Queen.”
I glance up at him and in the faint light, I see the first signs of a ghost of a smile appearing on his full lips, completely changing his entire appearance.
When Rhys smiles, I feel the warmth spreading inside of me. He reminds me of when things were okay and he was the fierce king saving me, the queen, from some terrible imaginary creature. Though sometimes we pretended it was the creepy wax figure of our great-grandmother, Elisabeth Whitlock, in the attic that was after us.
Twisting around I reach into the small black wooden box on my bedside table and pull out two silver rings. They were buried in the attic along with our families’ other heirlooms. When Rhys and I found it while playing one day, we both slipped the rings on and never took them off. The day I got Rhys’ ring was the day they left. I suppose he couldn’t bear the thought of giving it to me himself, so he just kept it under his pillow and when I found it, I kept it with me ever since.
“Do you remember this?” I ask.
Rhys nods and takes one ring from me. “Be mine forever, Pi.” He leans in and whispers against my lips. “Marry me.”
I’m taken aback by his words for a minute, completely unsure if I heard my brother right. “Rhys, that’s not how it’s done.”
He grabs my hand and grins wickedly at me. “I don’t care how it’s done, Rabbit. I want you forever and I’m making that happen right now. I don’t need to be on an altar to make you mine. I’ll love you forever and protect you with my life. We’re bound to each other forever, Pi. Do you accept me?”
