203- Spasms of Fire and Hunger
POV Elowen Grimwald:
Spasms of pain ricocheted through my entire body, like dozens of lashes striking my skin at the same time, without stopping for a single second.
I was laid down on a soft surface, and Aldren moved about, pushing away what seemed to be armchairs, through my blurred vision soaked with sweat, blood, and tears.
Delirious from the force of the physical pain hitting me alongside fear, my head spun. I couldn’t decipher where that place was.
I felt like I was going to die.
I only understood what was happening when I felt the furious breathing of the beast blowing against my neck, then his rough tongue brushing over my wounds.
He caused me a pain greater than the one I was already feeling… and then numbed it. As if his saliva contained an instant balm.
Wherever his mouth touched, a burning fire consumed my skin, quickly replaced by coolness, like a sudden icy wind in summer. It was as if every cell responded to him.
A movement of destruction and regeneration, where my wounds healed.
Soon after, an unusual peace took hold of me, as most of the remaining pain lingered only in the tearing inside me, which could not be seen or kissed by him. Muscles pulsing as if they had been crushed, and a shattered heart.
Last to be healed, Aldren left my face.
He was over me, his weight supported on muscular arms with long sleeves torn apart.
He stared at me, his eyes shimmering honey-gold, speckled with points of white light, and let his chest rumble, as if asking my permission to continue.
With difficulty, suffering as the corner of my mouth burned as if it were torn, I answered him with a whispered “yes.” I forced myself to swallow, saliva and blood running down my throat.
The instant his tongue touched my lips, my she-wolf purred. I was surrounded by an energy that, even if I tried, had a magnitude I could not explain.
I closed my eyes and lost myself in the overwhelming sensation of having him so close. The pain, beyond being numbed, was forgotten. But the neutralized fear was replaced by a wave of anxiety throughout my body.
The rough touch of his tongue and the mentholated breath, like his scent, made every part of me cry out for more.
More.
My senses told me that if I tasted him, I would also heal inside. I just needed to taste him.
There wasn’t a single tense muscle that didn’t receive relief.
The moment his tongue pulled away from my skin, I opened my eyes and met his, shining with lust, capturing all the light in the room and turning his irises into mirrors reflecting living flames.
I wanted to kiss those lips that promised to suck away my sanity and to wrap my weak legs around the fortress of his strong body. I wanted to feel everything of him.
Grievances and doubts were briefly forgotten, as if time had stopped. I cursed him when he decided to speak.
“What do you think about starting to tell me how the fight began?” he growled, furious.
Shivering, I quickly reflected on whether that actually mattered, after what had been done. Not the man, but the beast, had killed for me.
“Y-your mistress provoked me for days. I stayed quiet, didn’t respond to her insults, and today I got tired and ended up retaliating with words. That was the reason she shoved me into the cage by force and slapped my face. No one hits my face. No one,” I growled the last sentence, overtaken by indignation. “I don’t know if you saw it, but before she stood there laughing at me, soaked from the water she threw earlier, I was violently slammed against the bars. If you doubt it, I can turn around so you can see the proof on my back.”
“Then turn around,” he growled the order. My entire body tensed.
My throat worked through a difficult act of swallowing saliva, which I had previously done automatically. I leaned my body onto the carpet, bracing myself on my forearms, and closed my eyes, hoping the marks were still visible.
What remained of my clothes were rags, and suddenly Aldren tore away what was left, allowing the cold wind of that place’s air conditioning to reach all of my hot skin.
Within seconds, he pushed my hair aside and drew in a breath at the nape of my neck, letting the tip of his nose graze my skin. An involuntary, sharp spasm hit me, making even my untouched areas boil.
There was no pride or resentment capable of stopping my creature from reacting, arching our backs. I gasped when I felt part of his hard cock against my ass.
The connection Kehin claimed we had was, in truth, one I undeniably had with the male who was going to kill.
“Who do you really want, you bitch?” he hissed with hunger by my ear. The energy smothered the air and my mind turned to mush; I couldn’t even answer him with anything other than a moan. “Did you rub yourself against Kehin to manipulate him too? Answer.” It stopped being a question and became an order.
“The day Kehin makes my skin burn like this, Aldren, hell will freeze over.” I simply shot back.
My answer made a delicious growl escape his throat, and I froze the moment his fangs sank into my shoulder. The shock was followed by a wave of pleasure so intense that I screamed, receiving direct pulses in my core.
That male was touching my point of pleasure without even touching it.
My vision darkened, and I could feel the growing wetness between my legs. My creature fought to emerge, and I salivated with the desire to do the same to him.
Until he stopped, pouring waves of breath heavy with an attempt at control over the nape of my neck.
“No… keep going…” I whispered, running my tongue over my dry lips.
“You don’t ask for anything, bitch. You only accept what I want to give you, and when I want to give it.”
I would dare say he was the only man in the world capable of making me move so quickly through the most diverse kinds of existing emotions.
I was ready to sit on his cock until there was no oxygen left between those walls, and suddenly I was calculating how I would kill him as fast as possible, before he drove me insane.
“You say you don’t want it, but your body says otherwise.” I flirted with danger and turned my face to look at him.
Mounted over me, his lustful eyes had returned to a cold, deep green. I lifted my ass and rubbed it up and down along the long length of his cock.
