He nods.
“Even though we’re not mated? You can still hear… ” I gasp and cover my mouth. “Oh my god.”
“Yes, I’ve heardthattoo. I hear everything, Zephyr. Because I am a Descendant, because you are my mate, and because you already have a piece of me inside of you.”
“Oh my god!” Embarrassment washes over me. “Everything? Like, absolutelyeverything?”
“Yes,” he grits out. “So I’d appreciate it if you could refrain from playing that little fantasy in your head right now or else I’ll ruin all plans for tonight by fulfilling it and then some.”
I am so goddamn embarrassed—and painfully turned on—because the fantasy, the one of many fantasies I’ve been playing on repeat absolutely involves Wraith, his outstanding butt cheeks and using this kitchen for a purpose it was never meant to be used for. One where Wraith makes a meal out of me right at this island and I have been fantasizing about that alotlately, so much so that I barely even have to touch myself before I orgasm harder than I knew I could.
Wraith growls. “Zephyr… ”
“I’m sorry.” But I’m kind of not. Not after listening to Wraith jerk off constantly and getting flashed by his glorious ass.
“Are you trying to kill me?” he says directly to my nipples that are currently trying to tear holes in my shirt. “I am trying to do the right thing, love, trying to allow you to set our pace and make your choices on your own but it is going to be the death of me. Knowing that you’ve imagined me eating your cunt as if it were my only means of sustenance, knowing you’ve touched your otherwise untouched pussy while thinking of the two of us together.” His eyes slowly lift to mine, the action one I can almost feel. “Knowing what almost every inch of your skin looks like without the confines of fabric, knowing the heavenly scent of your arousal and practically being able to taste it every time we share a room.” Wraith bites his lip hard enough to draw blood. “And knowing that you wish to give me what no other has ever seen, ever touched, ever sunk themselves inside of simply because you want me, because you love me and are thrilled that I am to be the one to deflower you, all of it and more have me seconds from claiming you exactly as you see it in your mind.”
Jesus.
Holy shit.
Wow.
All Wraith would have to do in order to get me to orgasm is just say the word pussy again. I very literally will explode if he does. Hell, I might if he keeps staring at me the way he is now. And just when I’m about to tell him all of that, to confirm what he knows then beg for him to do all of those things and more, the bastard holds up his hand and shakes his head.
“It is not the time, even though it pains me to say it. I would like for things to happen a little differently when we mate, love. I’ve already so much to prove to you, so much to explain still in order to show you I am worthy to be the one to do all of the things you desire, to be the one to love you for all of eternity, that now is not the time. I cannot, in good conscience, take what you willingly offer me and mate you in the kitchen. It will not do and I’m afraid you would regret it afterward.” He grins rather sheepishly before it morphs into something more devious. “Rest assured, it is not because I do not want it, simply because it is not right. Once we get the first time out of the way, then we can act out each of your fantasies with all the ferocity you imagine, just not now.”
Both of our stares drop to his crotch and holy shit he wasn’t kidding. Wraith very clearly does want that, at least the sex part of things, and since I’m too cloudy with lust to pick at the way I secretly think that’s all he wants, I know for a fact we can’t act out anything I’ve imagined until there is a first time. Excalibur, assuming he was referring to his dick, has the potential to split me in two, and it’s rather fitting since the sword ultimately got stuck in a stone.
Wraith snorts, scowls a bit then smiles. “Cheeky little thing.” He moves back to the other side of the island. “Cheeky and wrong yet again. But I will prove my love, prove myself, and when you feel that I have done so, then and only then will you see if Excalibur splits yourstoneor merely gets stuck. I’m rooting for the latter by the way. I fear I love you too much to split you in two and if my cock does indeed become stuck in your fabulous cunt, well, a very happy male I shall be.”
And now I’m blushing like crazy.
So crass.
I kind of love it.
“Now then, are we on the same page?”
I blink and nod slowly. “You aren’t denying or rejecting our bond.”
“Because… ”
“Because,” I say as I swallow hard again. “Because you love me.”
“Right.” A curt nod. “Because I love you, but we will not be mating this night… ”
“Because you feel like you have to make up for being a dickhead first, so you know I’m not just running on pheromones and fate.”
“Exactly.”
“And because we are going to have to figure out if you’ll even be able to mate me with that kind of weapon in your pants.”
Wraith barks out a laugh, something I’ve never heard before but it makes me smile and decide right then it’s my favorite sound. “Perhaps, but we are two parts of one whole, love. And I am fairly confident if the Gods of Old chose to pair us, mypartwill fit in yourholeperfectly.”
“Oh my god.” I giggle like crazy and cover my face with my hands. “Is this what I have to look forward to? No holds barred now that we know where we stand? An eternity of crass comments and uncomfortable situations?”
“Yes,” he deadpans. “But that is only if you choose it. There is much I need to share before you make the decision though, my love.” Wraith looks at me for a few seconds, an almost worried look like I may actually choose to reject him. “And that brings us back to my plans for tonight.”
