“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
~ JESSE ~It was naughty, and a little bit risky, but I was so sick of talking in circles, and I knew the males weren’t going to listen to me when it came to war strategy. So I told Cazz I needed a break. He just assumed I was going back to my room. He never asked, so I didn’t lie.I grimaced as I marched through the tunnel with Sven. Who was almost as protective as Cazz and immediately frowned.“Are you okay? I could bring Maya to you—”“No, Sven. It’s good for me to move. It hurts Maya.”“And you as well.”“In a different way. Anyway, this is going to be quick
~ JESSE ~I frowned. “Are you sure?”“Absolutely. Even your combined power takes from you. Even if you both held the power in reservoir for days ahead… no. There’s no question. It’s just too big, and too many people. And his comment that he wouldn’t know where to start is also valid—plus his skull would crack if he tried to absorb that much information in such a short period of time. No, no, you can’t do that. It will fail on several levels.”“Is there any other way? Another type of delving or power use that doesn’t take as much that we could—”“Jesse, as much as I hate to admit it, Cazz is utterly correct about everything you’ve
~ JESSE ~But then Cazz turned his glare on me and clawed both hands through his hair. “Please give me your word that you’ll never do this again. I know this was… well intended. But… next time let me send guards with you, and keep linked up. If nothing else, then for my own sanity.”I sighed and put a hand on his arm. “I really didn’t want to distract you from the Council. I knew you’d have to be there for another couple hours at least. I thought we could kill two birds with one stone.”“And did you?” He asked dryly, one brow arched. “Did this accomplish… whatever it was you were trying to accomplish?”“She was checking to make certain you weren’t being overprotective&hellip
~ CASIMIR ~I ground my teeth, but said nothing as Maya’s gaze grew more knowing—and more smug.“I’ve asked for your advice many times,” I said through gritted teeth.“No, Cazz, you’ve instructed me to care for your mate and son, and you’ve demanded answers about her pregnancy, even deigned to question my certainty in my advice. But about this issue there has not been so much as a yip.”Gripping my hands to fists I reminded myself that Maya hadn’t been hers
~ CASIMIR ~I snapped my mouth closed as my very smug mate winked at me, then started to turn away. But I caught her hand and didn’t let her do it.“Maya… Reeca…” I saidquietly, through my teeth. “Would you leave us alone, please?”‘Cazz…’ Jesse sighed in my mind.‘Wait until we’re alone.’It was a relief when Maya didn’t argue, or try to cut me down, but clucked at the girl and pushed to her feet, groaning about pain in her back, but hobbling as quickly as she could, urging Reeca to join her. I ignore
~ JESSE (two days later) ~‘Now, you take the flows this time and—’‘Cazz! No! I’m not good at this part.’‘There’s only one way to get better. Isn’t that why we’re here?’‘Yes, but… if I get it wrong I could kill the poor thing.’‘Better to kill a chicken now, than an innocent human next week, right?’I hated it when he was right. The truth was, I knew I needed to stop avoiding taking control when we were wielding. But I was already exhausted, a
