Verveville's Curse

Chapter12

Kaida’s Pov



Everything between us broke open, the silence, the anger, the ache. It all collided in the kiss that followed.

It wasn’t soft.

It was like months of restraint shattering all at once.

His mouth found mine with a hunger that silenced everything else. I gasped against him, and his hand fisted in my braid, tugging my head back just enough for his lips to find my throat. I clung to him, to the strength in his arms.

He lifted me easily, and carried me to the bed, the kiss never breaking. His weight pressed me into the furs, mouth hot and urgent as his hands roamed over my thighs, up my waist, and beneath the folds of my robe.

We were fire and fury and forgiveness, tongues tangling, breath rasping, fingers scraping over skin like they were searching for something they’d almost lost.

I whispered his name, once, twice, like it was the only thing I still remembered how to say.

And he said mine back like a oxygen

The night swallowed us.

And for the first time in days, there were no more spells, no more silence.

Only skin and heat merged together.

His mouth trailed along my neck, hot, open, biting just enough to make my breath hitch. My fingers threaded through his hair, tugging lightly as he dipped lower, pushing the collar of my tunic aside and dragging his lips across my collarbone.

“You drive me insane,” he murmured into my skin.

I gasped when his hand slid up my thigh, rough and sure. “ Oh gods.. Axel,” I breathed, arching into him.

He growled softly, his wolf stirring already and the sound thrummed through my chest. My tunic came up in a swift motion, his fingers pulling it over my head and tossing it aside. I was bare underneath, flushed and aching.

He paused.

Axel had seen me countlessly before, in battle, in grief, in love but this, not after so long, not after all the unspoken pain, the war and the quietness.

His gaze burned as it swept over me, taking in my body like it was his first time.

“Kaida…” he said my name like a warning, Or a prayer.

I answered it by pulling him down to me, my legs wrapping around his waist. His pants were rough against my inner thighs, the friction was delicious and maddening.

“You’ve always belonged here,” I whispered.

He kissed me again, slower this time. His mouth teased, coaxed, tasted. His tongue slid over mine with practiced precision, a rhythm we’d once known and were now relearning.

His hands were fire on my skin, one cupping my breast, thumb flicking over my n****e until I gasped, the other trailing down my waist, over my stomach. My hips bucked up when he reached the lace at the edge of my thighs.

“Still so impatient,” he muttered with a smirk, and tore the undergarment away like it offended him.

I moaned as his fingers slipped between my folds,slow, skilled, unrelenting. He found the sensitive bundle of nerves and circled, gently at first, then harder as my body writhed beneath him.

“You’re wet,” he said, voice low and pleased.

“For you,” I gasped, I wanted more

He slid two fingers inside me, filling me with a slow, delicious pressure. I cried out, clinging to his shoulders, my nails digging into his back as he pumped slowly, curling just right.

“Axel.. Oh..” I breathed, already trembling, my mouth slightly open as I breathed pleasure

But he wasn’t done.

He moved down between my thighs, parting them wider, and staring up at me like a predator looks at its prey. His mouth replaced his hand, tongue flicking, then flattening against my c**t. I choked on a cry, “oh gods.. gods Axel” hands tangling in his hair, hips rolling toward him matching his rhythm.

He devoured me like he’d been starved for years. Tongue and fingers working in sync, driving me higher until the pleasure bloomed too fast, too bright

I shattered with a sob, back arching, my eyes slightly rolled back,stars behind my eyes,

He kissed my thigh softly, murmured something I couldn’t hear through the daze, then rose above me again.

“Still with me?” he asked, smirking voice rough.

“ Uhmhm Barely,” I panted.

He chuckled, low and wicked and undid his pants.

My breath caught again.

Gods.

His c**k sprang free, thick and hard, tip already glistening. I reached for him, wrapped my hand around the base, loving the way he hissed between his teeth.

“I’ve missed you,” I said softly, stroking him.

“I’ve needed you,” he growled. His eyes changed a bit, his wolf halfway to taking control already “Gods I can't wait”

He lined himself up at my entrance, dragged the tip through my wet slick folds, teasing me until I was whimpering. Then, with one deep thrust, he buried himself inside me.

We both gasped, the stretch, the fullness, the way our bodies fit like they’d never forgotten each other.

He stilled for a breath, forehead pressed to mine, our breaths mixing into each others

“You feel like home,” he whispered.

Then he moved.

Slow at first. Deep, grinding thrusts that made me cry out and cling to him. Every stroke hit the spot that made me see stars, that made my thighs shake around him.

I moaned so loud, silently hoping no one would hear

He set a rhythm that was both punishing and perfect, hips snapping, his hands gripping, mouth everywhere at once. I kissed his throat, his jaw, bit down on his shoulder when he hit a little deeper.

“Look at me,” he said, and when I did, the way he was watching me, like I was the only thing that had ever mattered

I cupped his cheek, lips trembling. “Don’t ever stop. P..please”

“What did you say” he wanted me to repeat, looking at me intensely

I struggled with words “oh.. P..please.. Please Axel, don't ever stop”

He kissed me hard, satisfied and flipped us over so I was straddling him. My hair spilled over my shoulders

I rocked my hips, setting the pace, grinding down as his hands guided me. Every thrust brought us closer. Sweat slicked our bodies, the room echoing with gasps and low curses and the slap of skin against skin.

I started to work faster, as I threw my head backwards, clinging to his biceps

“Kaida..” he gasped, gripping my waist. “I’m close.”

“Me too.. Me too” I moaned.

I rode him harder, chasing the end.

When it came, gods, it was blinding.

I cried out his name as I came again, body convulsing around him, and he followed with a groan, his release hot and deep inside me.

We collapsed together, tangled and breathless.

He held me tight, arms wrapping around my back as our heartbeats slowly returned to normal.

We didn’t say anything right away.

There was no need.

Our bodies had spoken everything our pride had tried to silence.

And for now… for this night… that was enough.
