Page 124 of Firebird
“Touch yourself,” I commanded.
She did, her eyes rolling as she bobbed her head, her hand still gripping the base of my cock. Her other hand was busy between her legs, making slick sounds with her arousal.
“I can’t.” I slid my cock from her mouth on a moan. “I need to be inside you.”
As I hauled her up, she turned and braced her hands on the windowsill, smiling over her shoulder. “Nice and slow.”
“As you wish, firebird.”
Gripping her hips, I sank inside her slowly. She exhaled a whimper and arched her back, thrusting her backside up.
“Yes,” I groaned as I seated myself deep and ground inside her.
But I needed to feel more of her. I bent over her, bracing my hand on the sill next to hers, and slid my other hand between her legs into the slick she’d made.
“Love how wet you get for me,” I whispered into her ear as I pumped nice and slow the way she wanted, the way she’d commanded.
“Always,” she whispered breathily, grinding back against me as I gently pumped inside her. “I need you, Julian.” Her whispered words were desperate and fearful.
“I’m here, my love.” I removed my hand from between her legs and wrapped her waist tight so that her back was pressed entirely to my front. “Don’t you feel me, firebird?”
“Yes. I want to feel all of you.” She writhed back against me. “Forever, Julian.”
“Yes.” I fucked her faster, feeling her getting closer to climax. “Forever, love.”
“Gods!” she screamed out the window toward the ocean as her sex squeezed and pulsed around my cock.
I groaned, biting her shoulder gently and thrusting twice morebefore I came inside her. She continued to squirm beneath me, wringing every drop from me.
When she went limp in my arms, I slid out of her, then carried her to bed, not bothering to wipe away my seed. I wanted it all over her. I wished I could remain in this bed with her forever. But there was so much left to do.
She remained quiet, breathing heavily in my arms until I thought she was asleep. I’d let her doze until it was time to go.
But then she said, so softly I almost didn’t hear her, “The goddess Minerva was there tonight.”
I stroked my palm up and down her back, soothingly. “Indeed?”
“I asked her for something. And in exchange, I’d give up my magic.”
“But you still have it.” I felt her pull on me tonight louder than a waking scream. And it was still there now.
“I do.”
“What did you ask of her?”
“To vanquish all of our enemies.” She sat up and looked at me in earnest.
I cupped her face. “Then we still have work to do before she’ll take your magic from you.”
“Yes.” She smiled and laid her cheek to my chest. “We still do.” She curled her arm tighter around my waist. “I love you, Julian.”
“As I love you, firebird.” I pressed another kiss into her hair. “Now get some sleep before our journey.”
