Head back so those tendons on his neck stood proud, shoulders and arms tight and flexed, but outstretched like he’d opened his arms to God, Cazz’s back arched, and his entire body quivered… he was stunning and surrendered, and I wanted him.
I opened my mouth over that tendon on his neck, flicked my tongue on his throat, dipped it into the hollow between his collarbones, kissed my way down his chest, opening the buttons on his shirt and tugging it out of his pants first, then pushing the sides apart when I had all the buttons free so his beautiful chest and abs were bare.
He pulled his head up like he was going to look down on me when I began to kiss my way down his chest to his stomach, tickled his navel with my tongue, traced the lines between his muscles with shaking fingertips, everything.
~ CASIMIR ~The desperation in me to pull her closer, to touch every inch of her skin, to taste her mouth, her skin, her neck, her shoulder… there weren’t enough moments, there wasn’t enough breath, there could never be enough.I took her face in my hands and pulled her head back, opening my mouth on her throat and whispering her name against her skin as she arched and sobbed my name.For a time, I couldn’t see with my eyes, only with my mind—the very first times I’d touched her, my heart so closed and guarded, yet my body needing. And now as I ached for her and my mind flashed on all those touches, all that instruction, all the ways I’d tried to
~ JESSE ~The water rippled gently as I lifted one hand out of the bath that surrounded us like a warm, steaming hug, and tried to push a strand of hair off my face without it getting stuck to my wet fingers.We should be in bed. We should be asleep. But neither of us wanted to break the spell.Cazz sat with his back to the end of the bath and had pulled me up between his legs so I lay back against his chest. He had one hand cupping my breast, the other cradling my belly and he hadn’t spoken in probably fifteen minutes. Being surrounded by him like this was feeding something in me—something in the bond. There were still flickers here and there, little niggles of nerves or fear, but every time they popped their heads up, I shooed them away.My mate loved me. He
~ JESSE ~For a moment I almost stopped him—only because we were both so tired. But then he dropped his hand between my legs and began to tease me and my breath quickened immediately.I let my knees fall further apart, resting my legs against his and keeping my eyes closed as he grew harder against my back.For long minutes, he did nothing but stroke fingers up and down the insides of my thighs, across my breasts, down my sides, his breath growing slowly harsher and faster as my skin pebbled and I began to press into his touch.Still, neither of us moved.The longer he played and stroked, the more sensitive I became, until he was barely tracing the very tips of his fingers over me and it felt like comets of sensation
~ CASIMIR ~“...No, no. Don’t push or pull until you’re prepared to actually do something with it. Until you’ve formed the flows, just let it pool in your grip. Like letting a water faucet pour into your hands.”We were out in the forest, working the power, helping her find more control, as well as exploring what she could do. Jesse stood right in front of me, between my feet, connected so I could watch how she worked, and jump in to help her if needed.At my words, she bit her lip in concentration, and relaxed back against me which made my body tighten—my appetite for her was insatiable. Between our separation and her pregnancy, her scent was an aphrodisiac in my nostrils. And it made it very diffic
~ CASIMIR ~For a moment she went liquid in my hands, her body loose and heavy, as if she’d rested all her weight against me.But just when I growled in approval and brought my other hand around to reach for her other breast, she shook her head and straightened.“No, Cazz. We have to practice this! I’m going to have to fight—and I need to be able to keep you safe while you hurt people.”I groaned, but knew she was right. Giving her one last nip on her shoulder, I sighed and straightened.“Fine,” I muttered as if I was annoyed about it. “But now you have to make the wall again. See if you can make it uniformly opaque this time—give no visibility to your enemies.”
~ CASIMIR ~“Oh, Cazz…” Jesse breathed, letting her head sink back, which arched her back and pressed her full, thicker breasts and stomach up towards my very eager mouth.I grasped her hips and pulled her forward gently, shifting my weight in the wide chair so I was more upright as she began to lean back.Her skin glowed in the soft, dim light of the sconces on the wall behind me. Watching her breasts bounce made me salivate and I leaned forward to take one of those peaked nubs in my mouth, humming my pleasure when she gasped and clawed her hands into my hair.I had to make myself loosen my grip as I slid my hands up her thickened waist to splay my hands at her back and give her leverage.
~ CASIMIR ~I almost came right there at the sight of her eyes going wide and her breasts swinging at the force of my thrust.“Oh god… oh Cazz—”“You’ve made that comparison before,” I hissed through gritted teeth as I gripped her shoulder and held her, slamming into her with such force I lifted her to her toes.“Oh… ohgodohgodohgodohgod—”I only grunted, but the bond hummed, vibrating and my entire body shuddered as her eyes rolled back and her hair began to flick back and forth in time with my thrusts.It was only seconds until I was restraining myself again—not in how I took her, but to stop myself coming already
~ CASIMIR ~Jesse sat at the table with the rest of the council, but I paced the room just behind her chair, eyeing the guards who stood beside and behind her brother at the other end of the table.“…the Chief is in on it and he thinks Dad’s double-crossing him. I’ve told him three times that’s not what’s going on, that Dad got scared and he’s hiding, but Chief doesn’t believe me anymore because Dad’s not answering his phone. So he’s said if I’m in charge, then I have to show up with the girls for this election fundraiser he’s doing. He says if I don’t, then he knows Dad’s out there trying to take it all for himself. I can’t dodge this one. I can get the drugs elsewhere, but I need more women.”Jesse’s jaw was tight and
