Chapter 36 What We Choose 2
Nyra
He lifts me easily, and I wrap my legs around his waist, the hard length of his cock pressing hot and heavy against me through the damp towel. The world narrows to warmth, breath, heartbeat.
He lays me down with that same careful reverence, as though I’m made of something fragile and priceless. The towel falls away as he follows me onto the bed, leaving him bare—his thick cock jutting up, flushed dark, a bead of precum already pearling at the tip.
My thighs fall open without conscious thought, inviting him.
Malakai doesn’t rush. He braces himself above me for a moment, eyes searching mine, then lowers his mouth to my throat, my collarbone, the slope of one breast. He takes his time tasting me, tongue swirling around a nipple until I’m arching into him, soft sounds escaping my lips.
Only then does he move lower.
Strong hands slide beneath my thighs, spreading me wider, lifting my hips to meet his mouth. The first slow lick through my folds rips a gasp from me. He groans against me, the vibration making me shudder.
“Fuck, you taste perfect,” he murmurs, voice rough with want, before he dives in fully—tongue flat and broad, lapping at me from entrance to clit in long, deliberate strokes. He circles my clit with the tip of his tongue, then sucks gently, steadily, until my hands fist in the sheets and my hips rock helplessly against his face.
Two thick fingers ease inside me, curling, stroking that spot that makes stars burst behind my eyelids. He works me open slowly, patiently, licking and sucking and fingering me until I’m trembling on the edge, thighs shaking around his shoulders.
“Please—Malakai—” I’m begging now, voice broken.
He doesn’t stop until the orgasm crashes over me, sharp and blinding. I cry out, back bowing off the bed as I come hard against his mouth, pulsing around his fingers. He keeps licking me through it, gentler now, drawing out every last shiver until I’m boneless and gasping.
Only then does he rise up, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, eyes almost black with desire. His cock is slick with precum now, rigid against his stomach.
He settles between my thighs again, the broad head nudging my entrance, sliding through the wetness he’s left behind. But he doesn’t push in. Instead, he stills completely, one hand cupping my cheek, thumb brushing my lower lip.
His voice is low, serious, laced with something fierce and protective.
“I need to hear it again,” he says. “I need to know you’re sure. I would rather die than ever hurt you the way others have. Tell me you want this—want me—inside you.”
The words crack something open in my chest. Tears prick my eyes, not from fear, but from the sheer safety of him.
“Yes,” I whisper, reaching up to thread my fingers through his hair. “I want you. Only you. I trust you.”
Something raw and relieved flashes across his face. He leans down to kiss me—soft, deep, tasting of me and him together—then slowly, carefully, begins to press inside.
The stretch is exquisite, overwhelming. Inch by thick inch he fills me, watching my face the entire time for any sign of discomfort. When he’s fully seated, buried to the hilt, he pauses again, letting me adjust, letting me feel every throbbing pulse of him inside me.
I clench around him, and he hisses out a breath.
“Fuck,” he groans. “You feel like heaven.”
Then he starts to move.
Slow, deep strokes at first, dragging against every sensitive spot he’s already mapped with his tongue. I wrap my legs high around his back, urging him deeper, and he gives me what I need—hips snapping harder, faster, the wet sound of us filling the room.
One hand slides under my ass, tilting me so he hits even deeper. The other braces beside my head as he kisses me through every thrust, swallowing my moans.
I’m climbing again, impossibly fast. When he grinds against my clit with each stroke, I shatter a second time, crying his name as my pussy flutters and clamps around him.
He follows moments later—hips stuttering, burying himself as deep as he can as he comes with a guttural groan, pulsing hot inside me.
After, he doesn’t pull away. He eases out gently, then gathers me close, tucking me against his chest, one big hand stroking down my spine.
I float in warmth afterward, my body heavy and light all at once, my heart so full it aches.
I trace the lines of his chest absently, my head resting where his heartbeat steadies mine.
“I didn’t think I’d ever feel this,” I say quietly. “Safe. Wanted.”
His arm tightens around me.
“You never should have gone without it,” he replies. “And you never will again.”
The words slip out before I can stop them.
“I love you.”
Silence stretches—thick, fragile.
Then he cups my face, his thumb brushing away a tear I didn’t realize had fallen.
“I love you too,” he says, voice rough with truth. “With everything I am.”
My chest tightens—not with fear, but certainty.
I look up at him, soul bare, choice clear.
“Mark me.”
The bond flares softly between us, warm and patient.
Malakai’s smile is slow. Devoted. Unshakable.
And the world, for once, does not demand more.
