Kaelen’s pov
The scent hit me before I even crossed the threshold.
Training had been a blur of violence and sweat, but the moment I stepped into the corridor of my quarters, the air changed. It smelled of salt, sickness, and a sweetness that belonged only to Elara. Then came the sound…a thin, broken sob that sliced through my chest more effectively than any blade ever could.
I dropped my gear without a word, the heavy thud of my bag echoing in the silence. I rushed in, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped animal.
There she was. Curled into a small, trembling ball on the bed, trapped in the grip of a fevered sleep. Her breathing was shallow, her face.
When I touched her forehead, I nearly recoiled; she was burning, her skin radiating a heat that felt like a physical warning.
I panicked… I didn't think; I acted. I scooped her into my arms, she weighed nothing against my strength, and carried her straight into the bathroom.
The water was ice-cold, shocking and brutal, but it was the only way to break the fire consuming her.
I bathed her with a tenderness that felt foreign to my hands, washing away the sweat and the sickness, my jaw tight as I fought the urge to howl at her fragility.
I dried her with a soft cloth and carried her back to the bed in my quarters.
As I laid her down, the soft mattress yielded beneath her back. The firelight from the hearth flickered across the room, casting shadows over her skin.
I fed her a bit of broth and water, laying her back to consciousness, but as I removed the damp towel from her naked body to ensure the fever had truly broken, my breath caught.
I stopped.
God I can't get enough of her beauty and feminity…I feel like devouring her.
She lay there, exposed in the glow of the fire. Her breasts were full, tipped with pink n*****s that were hard and aching, reacting to the chill of the room. Her belly was a soft, inviting curve, and her hips into a shape that begged for the weight of my hands. But it was between her legs where my vision blurred. Her cunt was slick and swollen, glistening in the firelight, her own natural juices running in slow, silver trails down her inner thighs.
The wolf in me roared. The demon in me hungered.
I knelt between her legs, this p***y is to be worshipped.
Fuck!!
The heat radiating from her now is a different kind of fire. I didn't tease. I didn't whisper sweet words. I was past the point of gentleness; I was a starving man and she was the only thing that could calm me.
I lowered my head and buried my face in her.
Elara groaned, a sound of pure, unadulterated need that vibrated through my skull. My tongue was gentle at first but that's not in my nature, it was demanding, unrelenting. I licked her from bottom to top, circling her c**t with a precision that made her hips tensed.
I dipped my deep inside her, drinking her juice like a man dying of thirst in a desert.
Her hands fisted in my hair, pulling me closer, her body arching off the bed. She came within seconds, her inner walls pulsing violently against my tongue, her cries echoing throughout the room.
I didn't stop. I licked through the peak of her orgasm, savoring every shudder, every drop of her. When I finally lifted my head, my chin was wet with her, my eyes burning with a dark, predatory light.
I locked eyes with her beautiful eyes.
"That was only the first," I growled, my voice a low vibration in my chest. "I will give you a dozen more before I f**k you."
And I kept my word. I turned her over, the sight of her rounded backside driving me to a point of madness.
I ate her from behind, spreading her cheeks to expose the most intimate parts of her. I licked her asshole, then pushed my tongue deep into her p***y until she sobbed into the pillow, her body shaking with a second, more violent climax. I flipped her back onto her spine and sucked her c**t between my lips, flicking it with an obsessive rhythm until she came a third time, her voice going hoarse from the screaming.
Only then did I stand.
I unbuttoned my pants with trembling fingers…I mean this is a little too much for me.
My c**k sprang free, thick and long, the head dark and slick with precum. I stroked myself once, twice, my gaze locked onto hers. I wanted her to see the monster she was inviting in.
"You are mine," I commanded, the words sounding more like a vow than a statement. "Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir" she breathed, her eyes glassy and desperate. I smiled hearing her say that with her soft voice.
It is killing me.
I entered her in one slow brutal thrust.
I groaned loudly, the sound ripped from my lungs. She was so tight…unbelievably tight…that it felt as if she were trying to merge with me, to pull me inside her permanently. Her back arched, her mouth opening in a silent cry of shock and pleasure. I filled her completely, stretching her, claiming a place no one had ever touched before.
I stilled for a moment, my muscles shaking with the effort not to just ram into her. "You are f*****g tight...I want to stay here longer, but your p***y won't allow me."
"Move," she demanded, her voice a ragged whisper. "f**k me, please." She begged.
I obeyed.
I drove into her with long, deep strokes that hit the very end of her.
Each thrust made her gasp, each movement coating my length in her wet heat. I gripped her hips hard enough to leave bruises…marks that would tell the world she belonged to me long after the night ended.
"Look at me," I commanded.
She met my eyes. In the depths of her pupils, I saw the fever, the desperation, and a flicker of something eternal…a bond that tied our souls together across dimensions of pain and pleasure.
I leaned down, pressing my chest against hers, my mouth at her ear. "I will fill you," I growled.
"I will fill you with my c*m until it drips out of you. I will f**k you until you forget every other name. I will make you mine in every way that matters."
She wrapped her legs around my waist, pulling me deeper, her nails raking bloody lines down my back.
I accelerated. The cot creaked under the violence of our union; the fire crackled in symphony with her screams. Her moans became sobs, her sobs became pleas. As her inner walls began to clench and flutter, milking me for everything I had, I drove into her one final time, burying myself to the hilt.
I let go.
Hot, thick waves of c*m flooded her, filling her to the brim until it spilled over and ran down her thighs, soaking into the sheets beneath us. She came with a broken wail, her vision going white as we collapsed together.
I rested my forehead against hers, our breaths ragged and synchronized. But as the adrenaline faded, the fear returned.
I pulled out slowly, watching my seed leak from her.
My instinct suddenly shifted from lust to possession. I wanted to mark her.
My fangs ached in my gums; my jaw throbbed with a rhythmic pressure. The wolf demanded it. The demon craved it.
I wanted to sink my teeth into the delicate column of her neck, to inject my venom and bind her to me for eternity.
But I stopped myself just in time.
My blood was poisonous. I was a hybrid…half wolf, half shadow demon…and my mark wasn't just a claim; it was a lethal dose of venom.
If I marked her now, in her weakened state, I could kill her. I could poison the only light I had ever known.
I pulled away abruptly.
I dressed in silence, refusing to look at her. I couldn't risk seeing the longing in her eyes while my fangs were still pulsing.
"Kaelen..." she reached for me, her voice small and fragile.
"Rest," I said, my voice flat, devoid of the passion from moments ago. " I will get a wet towel to clean you up. We will talk tomorrow."
I left the room to bring water and a towel to clean her.
I walked into the bathroom and slammed the door, locking it with a click. I pressed my palms against the wall and hung my head, my entire body shaking with the effort of restraint.
I had claimed her body. I had drowned her in my seed.
But I could not claim her soul. Not yet. Not until I found a way to save her from the monster I was.
