Chapter 111 CHAPTER 111
My skin pricked with shivers, and I took a step back from the intensity of his stare.
His words, the power behind them curled a tight grip around my throat.
“Is this because of the Soul Tie?” I asked, needing clarification.
“Come on Alira, have you seen you? Soul Tie or not, I'll be blessed if you even look my way twice. The only thing it does is chase away my fears. I'm not sure what the right decision is so I'm leaving it entirely to you. If you want the bond to bind us together forever, I'm in. Every bit of me that I can offer.”
“Can I… I need some time to process this, please?”
His eyes fell, losing a chunk of the intensity in them.
“I understand.”
“No you don't,” I moved closer to him, “this isn't anything about you. Right from our first bickering session, I've always felt something for you that I didn't want to admit exists. With the Principal, it was easier because he was doing all these things for me, and everyone was pointing it out. However, I've always felt this way and fought against it desperately, because we're not supposed to be together. I need time to process this. There are three of you, how the hell is that even possible? How am I supposed to go from leaving one man who nearly sent me to the grave to being with three? Well, two now, he doesn't want me but still, I need to… process.”
“Oh,” his eyes brightened again, “I'll be here whenever you're ready. And tell Draco I said he's insane for even thinking about not being with you.”
“Nope, I'm not thinking about him anymore, I'm going to return his calling stone today and we'll only interact as he does with all other students.”
“You know that's impossible, you're his charge. Without parents or guardians, your wellbeing falls to him and the man detests failing in his responsibilities.”
“It's just a matter of time until the doctor finishes with his tests and gives me a proper answer about my lineage. Maybe I have some uncles or something.”
“Alright then. Are you going to tell me who the third man is?”
"I will if we… you know..”
“If you choose to be with me.”
I couldn't look at him.
“Can I at least hug you before you go?”
“You want to hug me?”
“I've been holding that desire back for way too long. It's why I'm always running off after training. When you hugged me last night, I felt… a lot of things.”
I didn't let him talk for longer, I wrapped my hands around his waist and squeezed, not caring if Principal Draco will appear out of thin air as usual.
He probably won't if Zade keeps to his plans and is in his house right now.
His hands wrapped around me tightly too, pressing my soft body to his hard ones.
When I took the opportunity to rub his back, Florian let out a moan that sent ripples of desire rushing through my body.
Maybe it was the heat or the fact that I've always wanted to do this since the second time I saw him, but I was salivating down there and I allowed my hands to wander all over him.
My fingers found his braids and I massaged his scalp, earning me more moans and movement that made me clench.
He pressed my body tighter to him until I felt it.
His dick, poking out of his pants despite his efforts to hide it.
I only felt the front of it and it was as hard as the rock we were sitting on yesterday. Immediately, my mind was flooded with ideas on what to do with this hardness.
My mouth watered, both mouths actually, and I began rubbing my aching nipples on his abs, desperate for friction.
“Princess if you still need space to think, you best get going now. I'm losing my fucking mind,” his voice growled in my ear all of a sudden, signalling that this was going farther than I thought.
Quickly I untangled myself from his arms and I looked up at him.
All hard, manly and hungry.
His eyes told me that, they were grey like the storm and he kept blinking rapidly, trying to get back control.
His ears were out now, fully erect and the tip was bright red as his cheeks.
“I'll be going to see my Mother tomorrow, if I don't make it back early, can you endure Draco bringing you food?”
“I'm already getting teased out of my mind when you bring it without even checking that people are looking, I don't think my reputation will survive the Principal doing that. I'll be at Zade's… shit.”
“Zade huh?”
See why I should keep my mouth shut more often?
“He's um…”
“Don't worry, I understand why he'll be a better choice. Good luck Princess.”
And he was off.
I wanted to hug him tighter, who knows if I'll ever see him again?
If Zade's plans work tonight, I should be leaving even if I don't succeed with killing Kovar.
Looking at the food he'd brought, I sat down and ate it before touching Styx's calling stone.
Then I waited.
It wasn't long before I saw him riding the Steed with aggression towards me.
Oh, he thought I was in danger.
Why does he care?
My body still didn't get the memo that I'm supposed to be pissed, because seeing him nearly flying to save me, his shadows fully out and ready to fight, I stifled a moan as shivers erupted across my skin.
When he saw that I was in fact, in one piece with no enemies around, he slowed down.
When he got to the field, he climbed down and thundered towards me, his eyes inspecting every part of my body, searching for injuries.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes sir,” I nodded, breathless.
“You reek of him,” he gritted out, inhaling my need mixed with Florian's.
“He told me about the Soul Tie as well and he knows we're meant together and he's not fighting it. It makes sense that I'll have his scent on me sir.”
His eyes burned with anger but he closed them, hiding the darkness away before he opened them again.
“Why did you call for Styx?”
“Here,” I unclasped the necklace and handed it over to him, “I wanted to return this. I won't be needing it anymore.”
