9- Bound by Blood and Desire
POV Lunara Grimwald:
I blinked, feeling my body react to him. Another wave of burning heat hit me. So strong that this time, I thought I would fall apart.
Edric moved too fast. He turned me around, pressing me against his hard, defined body, and then kissed my neck, grazing the tips of his fangs against the thin, sensitive skin.
"Please..." I begged, my voice nothing more than a whisper lost to the wind.
Rising onto his knees, he pushed his pants down, freeing his hard cock. I looked over my shoulder, unable to control myself, admiring the long, strong shaft framed by pulsing veins.
He lifted his gaze to mine with his head slightly tilted. He looked nothing natural, nothing human. Edric was consumed by his animal instincts. His eyes glowed golden, and every move was precise, primal. There was nothing of the man in him—only the beast.
He spread my thighs apart and rubbed his fingers between my legs, sliding them across my pussy. A guttural sound, half-growl, half-howl, tore from him as he pulled his hand back and brought it to his face. He inhaled deeply, nostrils flaring as he took in the scent of my arousal, then brought his fingers to his lips, licking and tasting me.
My chest vibrated with satisfaction, my wolf thrilled to see him act this way. I knew my eyes gleamed too, reflecting the green of my inhuman nature. But unlike him, I still had a shred of reason—though barely.
Growling, he pushed my shoulders forward. I lowered onto my elbows, completely exposed. Edric settled behind me and brushed his cock against my slick entrance once before thrusting in hard.
I cried out in pleasure, throwing my head back, lips parted. He growled, gripping my waist firmly and moving in a relentless rhythm.
Inside, my body trembled. Yes, yes, yes!
This was what I needed, what I wanted. Edric fucked me like an animal, slamming into me and pulling back to repeat the motion. His thick cock stretched me open more with every thrust.
Though he hadn’t prepared my body, I was wet enough that he slid in easily. I clenched my fists around the damp leaves covering the ground, crushing them in my hands. Each impact of his body against mine shoved me forward, pressing my forehead into the earth.
All I could feel was him. All I could hear, all I could focus on, were his hoarse moans blending with the howl of the wind shaking the tall branches of the trees.
He wrapped one arm around my waist, pulling me upright onto my knees without breaking our connection. With the other, he swept my hair over my shoulder and kissed the bare curve of my neck.
Every fiber of my body throbbed, craving more. It was as if nothing would ever be enough.
"Edric..." I murmured, his name leaving me in a breathless moan.
He kissed my skin, blowing warm air across it, and licked me, savoring my taste. His arm around my stomach tightened, turning into steel.
He kissed me again.
I leaned my head against his chest, grinding against the tip of his cock nudging at my entrance.
He licked my skin once more.
I smiled, shivering at the rough stroke of his hot tongue.
And then, without warning, he lifted his head, turned back to me, and sank his fangs into the side of my neck where a vein pulsed, piercing it and drinking my blood.
Marking me as his.
My eyes widened, and a strangled cry ripped from me, my body trembling as a sharp pain struck so hard it felt like it would split my bones in two. It was fast, unexpected, and brutal. But it lasted only a blink, replaced almost instantly by pleasure.
I felt the hot liquid trickle down my collarbone, sliding over my breasts.
Something inside me snapped.
It was as if my wolf took full control.
I bared my teeth, my fangs elongating. Edric thrust into me, groaning against my nape. I dug my nails into the arm he had locked around my waist as he drove into me again and again.
I threw my head back and moaned loudly, hissing incoherent words.
Edric’s bite was like an injection of adrenaline in my blood. Shocking, delicious, burning hot.
I kept grinding on his lap without pause, wild, surrendering to the sensation of being marked by him, utterly dominated.
Every fiber of my body pulsed with raw energy. It wasn’t natural—it was pure, absolute magic.
The wet sounds of our bodies echoed through the forest, driving away any creature with even a shred of sense.
He withdrew his fangs from my neck and let out a guttural sound, half-growl, half-howl.
I tore away from him, throwing myself forward and spinning on my heels. He was still kneeling as I circled him with calculated, silent steps.
His golden eyes locked on me, blood dripping down his chin. Tilting my head, I studied him, savoring the mingling of our scents, and smiled in satisfaction.
Edric rose, mirroring my stance, as if preparing to hunt me. There was nothing human left in him—only the beast inside.
We circled each other, bodies crouched, arms loose, ready to strike. He was far stronger and faster than me, but still, I wasn’t intimidated.
With a sudden lunge, I threw myself forward. He caught me midair, stopping me from knocking him down. I wrapped my legs around his waist, my back hitting the trunk of a tree as his lips trailed down my fresh wound in hungry kisses.
I grabbed his hair, yanking his head back. I bared my fangs, then sank them into the side of his strong neck, marking him just as he had marked me.
His blood tasted like fire. Pure and ancient.
He shuddered before letting out a low moan. There was no resistance. He accepted my claim—whether it was the man or the beast in control, he accepted it.
I sucked his hot blood, taking him in, letting an essential part of him flow into me, binding us as one.
Edric adjusted his cock at my entrance and slammed into me in one harsh thrust while I still had my teeth buried in his flesh.
It was so intense, so overwhelming.
I could feel what he was feeling. The deepest, most absolute pleasure. It was as if I were feeling it for both of us.
He growled, fingers digging painfully into my thighs.
I couldn’t hold back—I shattered into an orgasm that felt like it would break every bone in my body. I tore my mouth from his skin, my head slamming back against the tree trunk as my body convulsed.
Edric fisted his hand in my hair, crushing his lips against mine in a kiss, mixing his blood in my mouth with mine in his.
