\[Serenity’s POV\]
“Do you think Uncle William is okay?”
I stare up into Maverick’s dark eyes while his arms tighten around me, pulling me closer to try to comfort the anxiety that I’m feeling.
Two days had already passed since Uncle William went back to Crystal Fang, and even though there was no word on how he was, there was also no word that something happened, which in the end was a good sign, but I just couldn’t seem to calm down no matter how many times I told myself that everything was going to be okay.
Was this feeling of foreboding only because of Uncle William, or did it also include the battle that we would be heading out for tomorrow?
Of course, I have full faith in my pack, my family, and my family’s packs, but I was still nervous because the thought of losing even a single person was eating away at me, especially since I was the reason all of this was happening.
“Hey,” Maverick murmurs, gently grabbing my chin and making me look at him. “Listen to me.”
“Mmmmm.”
Where he touches comes alive, sending waves of delicious warmth through me as our bond grows, and despite everything that is eating away at me, I feel myself beginning to relax just as he has instructed.
“Everything is going to work out.” He continues, planting a gentle kiss on my lips. “I will personally make sure that is the case.”
Nodding, I wriggle around so that our chests are pressed together and our faces are mere inches from one another. Gone is the anxiety I was feeling, and all that is left is a blooming need to get even closer to the man in front of me.
Was this some sense of desire from the fear of not having a tomorrow? Probably. But it was also from a simple touch. He drove me mad, and I knew that he knew it. That was the reason he was always making skin-to-skin contact whenever he could and why he was always giving me looks that made my blood and my soul come to life.
“Promise?” I whisper, staring deeply into his eyes so that I find myself being swept away from reality and pulled into a universe that only possesses him and me. “Can you promise me that everything will work out and we can officially start our lives together in peace?”
“Anything for you.” He husks, twisting a hand into my hair and pulling me forward so that our faces and our mouths are colliding.
Together, our mouths and tongues move while our hands pull at each other's clothes. We were both similar to beasts, acting on desire and instinct instead of rationale, but that was perfectly fine with me.
When I manage to get Maverick’s pants open and out of my way, I pull away, my breath ragged, my lips swollen, my cheeks flushed, and my body thrumming with so much excitement it is almost suffocating.
“What are you doing?” Maverick husks as I pull his shirt up and begin to kiss his chest. “Come back here and…”
“Ssssshhhhhh,” I command, pressing my fingers against his lips and then continuing my exploration of his skin. “Let me do what I want and just enjoy.”
“You’re becoming bold.” He chuckles, leaning back and listening. “But I can’t say that I dislike it.”
“Does this mean that you like to be submissive?” I ask jokingly but find confirmation in the dark orbs that stare at me.
Instantly, my heart skips a beat, and my core throbs with need and the desire to do each and every thing I want to with the man beneath me. But for now, we would have to continue to keep things vanilla since we weren’t home and were unable to do everything.
Feeling a wave of disappointment, I continue to kiss down Maverick’s body until I finally reach my destination and can pull his dick free.
Lifting my gaze to his, I run my tongue along his tip so that I can clean away the salty, sweet pre-cum that remains there and earn myself a rumble of satisfaction from Maverick.
“Serenity,” he whispers, twisting a hand in my hair and pushing in need.
Goddess, I loved the way his voice sounded when he was feeling pleasure, but I liked it even better when he was in ecstasy, and since that was the case, I didn’t hesitate to take him between my lips, leading him deeper and deeper down my throat until I was almost gagging.
“Careful, princess,” Maverick rasps, though his hips twitch, threatening to push deeper.
Rolling my eyes, I push the hair that has fallen over behind my shoulders and begin to slowly move, bobbing my head until he starts to guide me to the speed that he wants. And once he has started, I know there is no stopping him as his grunts of passion turn into groans of desire and need.
“Serenity,” he groans, quickening his pace while I open my jaw more. “Fuck, that’s it, Serenity.”
‘More,’ I order through mindlink. ‘I want you to beg me more.’
“Please,” he moans, setting me into hyperdrive. “Suck me harder, Serenity.”
Obeying his command, I tighten my lips around his shaft and take what’s left of him into my hand, then begin to move in sync as he continues to come undone beneath me.
“Fuck!” He hisses, holding my head in place as he cums deep in my throat. “That’s it, princess.”
Swallowing his cum, I try to remember to breathe through my nose until he finally releases me so that I can sit up and stare at him while licking my lips clean.
“Feel better?” I giggle, watching his chest rise and fall while his skin glistens with sweat. “Or…”
“Not even fucking close.” He growls, reaching out and lifting me so he can place me on his lap. “And from how fucking wet you are, I know that you aren’t ready to release me either.”
“You’re right,” I confirm, slowly and seductively moving my hips so my pussy glides along his skin, soaking it with my need. “I’m not going to let you off that easily, not when we don’t know when we can do this again.”
“Then ride me, princess.” Maverick orders, squeezing my hips and lifting me just enough so that I’m hovering above him. “Show me just how badly you want me.”
