Wyn (Monstrous, #3.5)

by Lily Mayne

I could see the vast, dark outline of the rycke’s wings, twitching gently as he watched from his lonely perch. He would come through, but not until all this chaos had died down. Ryckes created their own chaos. They did not enjoy that of others.

Aury!!! theres my boy!!!!

Sometimes I could think of nothing else. Nothing but the knowledge that I would outlive him, and it made my insides feel like they were being ripped apart. Sometimes I looked at him and was flooded with dread when I thought of the day that I would start seeing the black cloak of death creeping into the edges of his aura, getting closer every minute. When his body would weaken and visibly deteriorate, and there would be nothing I could do.

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.

“I love you too, Soul Eater.”

I countered, crossing my arms over my chest and sprawling back in my seat, knees spread wide and boots planted on the ground. Danny called it my BDE pose. I had no idea what that meant, but it normally succeeded in making him come and give me some attention.

omg i can just imagine danny giggling not telling wyn what it means fdsljfjfl

“Wyn, you romantic son of a bitch.” I rolled my eyes. “Focus, my sweet.”

the fact that he calls him my sweet???? kms thats so adorable

“But if you don’t want… If you just want to live your normal human life, I swear I will protect you for all of it. And I will treasure every moment I get to spend with you.”

I was addicted to the pleasure-dazed look I could put on his face.

He smiled at me, and my insides twisted with that deep ache of want that never went away when it came to him.

I felt the blood rush up Danny’s throat beneath my lips, and I knew he had turned splotchy from my words. It just made me want to goad him more. I trailed my lips up his neck and mouthed his earlobe. “Shall I see how loud I can make you get now, my sweet human?”

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.

I huffed irritably, cocking my head as I assessed the military presence around the tear. “My sweet, it really would be a lot simpler if—” “Wyn.” Danny cut me off, turning and reaching into my hood to cup my chin with his free hand. “You are not goin’ down there and killing everyone.”

“Maybe I can help?” He eyed the military in the distance. “I know I don’t use it often, but I do have combat training. I could distract them while you—” “Danny.” I turned him toward me and cupped his face. “My sweet human. You know I love you, yes?” Danny looked uncertain—and a little suspicious. “Um, yes. I love y—” “But you were a terrible soldier,” I cut in, trying to keep my voice gentle.

I could see Danny leaning back against a tree as I approached, rifle in one hand and metal bat in the other. He jumped violently, dropping both, when I let go of the car and it crashed to the ground in front of him out of thin air. “Jesus fucking Christ.” He clutched at his chest, panting hard behind his headgear before he tugged off his helmet and goggles. He ripped his mask down and sucked in a shaky breath. I solidified and patted the hood. “I brought you a car.” “Yeah, I… can see that.” He still seemed to be recovering from the shock as he bent down to grab his gun and bat. “That’s real sweet of you, baby, but I’m not sure it’s still goin’ to work after you dropped it like that.” I grunted. “I didn’t drop it from all that high. It’ll be fine.” I walked to the driver’s side door and opened it, gesturing for Danny to get in. “And if it doesn’t work, I’ll go get you another one.”

god i love these two so much

“You know if I tell anyone all the sweet shit you say to me, no one’s gonna be scared of you anymore.” I bared my teeth in a not-quite grin, leaning my head down to graze them over the shell of Danny’s ear. “Then you better not tell anyone.”

“Exactly what kind of city are you picturing?” “Um, I’m not picturing anything because I have absolutely no frame of reference for what a city in another world might look like. That’s why I want to go see one.” “I told you. Maybe after the Caen an Sin.” “I’ll bitch the whole way back to the human world if you don’t take me. Just so you know.”

I resisted the urge to stop and pull Danny into the cradle of my arms, just to feel his solid warmth against me. To breathe him in. Sometimes it felt like he wasn’t real and I had to confirm to myself all over again that he was.

“No,” I said quickly. “He’s not a pet. He’s my…” I struggled to think of the word. “My partner. He’s mine.”

“Danny.” My voice was even more distorted than normal. I clenched my fingers tighter in his hair, knees falling open wider as I watched the length of my pale cock vanishing inside his beautiful pink mouth, over and over.

I kept my hand still and let Danny work his cock through it, fresh arousal pulsing through me as I watched the slick, pink head disappear and reappear from the top of my fist.

I hoped Danny wasn’t aware of just how much of a pushover I was when it came to him.

I knew my gaze was sometimes too intense, but when he was like this—splayed and trembling and desperate—I became greedy to drink in the sight of it.

Danny shuddered hard, fingers clawing my scarred back, as his body seemed to suck me in. It was just as exquisite as it had been that first time. Every time with him was.

I huffed and resisted the urge to bare my teeth at him in a rabid grin, instead kissing him again as I pulled my hips back. We both shuddered when I sank back inside, and I moaned helplessly as Danny sucked on my tongue. I couldn’t have stopped the heavy, pounding rhythm my hips took up even if I’d wanted to.

“Don’t feel bad. Just consider it an offering to the gods.” Danny choked on a breath. “What?” He gave my shoulder a weak smack. “You said these pools weren’t sacred!” He poked me in the stomach. “We just fucked in a religious place? You had your tongue up my ass on sacred ground?” I huffed and pulled him closer to drop a kiss in his hair. “My sweet, it was a joke.” I would just have to make sure he didn’t see the shrine when we left.

But now that I had Danny… now, it felt like I had everything to lose. And it made me afraid.

“My sweet.” I cupped Danny’s face, trying to keep my voice as patient as possible. “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 from me. You’ve given me a gift.”

“This whole place smells so good, ‘cause it smells like you.”

He hated asking me for things, as if he still wasn’t aware that I would give him literally anything he ever wanted.

He sighed and relaxed back as I began running absentminded hands up and down his shins, content to just touch and watch him.

“You were always meant to meet me. You’re mine.”

The wet sounds of him fucking me were obscene, and I loved it.

I shook, squeezing so hard around the stiff length of him inside me that he let out a choked groan, hips going still. He held his cock as deep inside me as he could.

Humans were very strange. Or maybe it was just Danny.

The knowledge that I would have a long time with Wyn filled me with sweet warmth, so much of it that it felt like I would burst. Suddenly, it seemed like we had all the time in the world. And we did, in a way.
