Wyn (Monstrous, #3.5)

by Lily Mayne

Nothing but the knowledge that I would outlive him, and it made my insides feel like they were being ripped apart.

I simply lay awake next to him, breathing in his scent, my blood pounding with the awareness that I would have him for so short a time.

He was so fragile. So vulnerable. I ached to think of him being hurt or sick again. I couldn’t even bring myself to consider what would happen when he was no longer here, and I was left alone again. Without him. I was used to being alone, but this would be different. This would ruin me. I already knew it.

“Trust me, Danny, I am not getting the raw end of the deal.”

“I get you.”

“Oh my god, Wyn, you’re being so rom...

I had imprinted on him without conscious thought in that moment, my blood pounding for him.

He was mine. He was always supposed to be mine. I had just needed to wait for a long time to find him. But the wait had been worth it.

“Human, I find myself strangely interested in you. If you ever get sick of Wyn and his foul moods, come and find me.”

It made me forever grateful that he wanted to be with me, because the thought of him falling prey to anyone who would take advantage of his gentle nature made me want to murder things. All the things.

The realisation that I might get to have this for the rest of my life made my throat ache. I held him closer and pressed my nose and mouth to the top of his head, content to breathe him in for the hours that he slept.

“He should respect me,”

“I am his elder.”

I had practically raised him through his early adultho...

“Wyn, you’re everyone...

I would never admit it out loud, because he would gloat, but this was more than nice. This was… wonderful. There had never been—and never would be—another being in the universe who I could be this relaxed and content around. Not even Edin, who I trusted with my life. Danny made me feel peaceful.

“I suppose we should get out now, huh?” He moved back out of my arms.

“Wait.”

“I want to do somethi...

“I want to eat this beautiful ass.”

Danny choked on a breath, his throat going splotchy.

“Jesus,...

“W...

“Will you let me,...

“Will I let you e...

“Wyn, you know I’d always—We’re in public. Like. Literall...

“...

“We’re a...

“Goddamnit, Wyn.”

“Now all I can think about is your tongue in my ass.”

“Best let me do it then, sweet. So you’re not distracted for the rest of the night.”

I turned us both until Danny’s back was against the edge of pool. Patting the smooth stone, I murmured in his ear,

“Sit up here, Danny.”

“Fucking hell, Wyn,”

“Am I seriously letting you give me a rim job out in the open where anyone could see us—in these, like, sacred pools?”

Danny loved when I did this. Loved it. I’d even been able to make him come once or twice with my tongue alone, his cock untouched and pulsing on his belly, or hanging like a steel bar between his legs if I had him on his hands and knees.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have let you do this for me. I just…”

“I didn’t want you to be alone after I’m gone. I didn’t want you to feel that pain. But I should have thought about it more. About what it meant.”

“My sweet.”

“I wanted this more than

anything in the universe. To be with you always.” I leaned in and kissed him. “You haven’t taken anything fr...

“I like the idea of it too. Whatever we want to call it. Joined. Tethered. Married.”

love you wynny

I ignored him, taking his left hand and slipping the ring onto his finger. Cradling his hand in mine, I stared at the ring now sitting snug on Danny’s long finger and swallowed, glad he couldn’t see how ludicrously happy it made me seeing it on him.
