When she’d barely been conscious, she could remember the feeling of someone stroking her hair from her face, rubbing her back soothingly. He’d tried to force sips of water down her throat.

She didn’t need to even try. Half the time, looking at her face had his blood pumping and his shaft twitching – which is why he tried to avoid her as much as possible. Her beauty made him uncomfortable.

I am not gentle, and this will only end in me taking you hard and fast.” This was her last chance to turn back. Raewyn rubbed her cheek against his snout, seeming to take anything he did as a sign of affection, and dug her fingers around the bulge within him.

I’m going to fuck her senseless. I’m going to fuck her until she can’t think of anything else but my cock. Until she can do nothing but cry and beg for me to stop. Until the only thing she can scream is my name.

He’d taught the Witch Owl how to make the barrier charms, so she could show Orpheus how to make them when his human offerings kept dying on him. Merikh had taken pity on him.

Of course, he’d wanted to hold her afterwards! He’d wanted that more than anything else, and he’d been quite self-hateful because he literally couldn’t. He’d wanted to painfully rip his quills from his own body just so he could.

“And, since I am so offensive to you,” he sneered, his orbs shifting to blue before he forced them back to their usual red. “I thought it would be best to leave you alone, especially since you so callously rubbed it in my skulled face afterwards.”

“Duskwalkers are instinctually territorial,” he admitted quietly. “We are possessive of everything: our territories, our homes, our things.” Her lips pursed, and she shook her head to show she didn’t understand. “I marked you.”

She was naked, her back arched, pushing up her chest so her breasts almost pointed up to the sky while the ends of her wet hair brushed the grass behind her. With the light bathing her, she appeared lovelier than ever. It was hard to look away.

She could barely believe he was doing this to her. He’d once told her he’d kneel for no man, and yet here he was, on his knees for her, just to taste and tease her like this.

He didn’t stop licking, but he at least moved away to steal what he could from the creases of her thighs before he followed a path down her legs. He was tracing where the orgasm she’d given herself earlier had trickled down.

Gazing down at the comely female curled up on her side across his lap, Merikh radiated contentment. She’d originally asked if he would mind taking her to the bed so she could rest for a while, worn out from their intimacy.
