Chapter 351: _Stake Claim To This Temple
(Warning: Mature Content Ahead)
"I never imagined I’d be sleeping in this coven anytime soon." Odessa chimed behind me as I stood on the balcony of the room the coven elders had assigned to us.
I stared down at the city below, my eyes trailing through the winding streets lit up by street lamps, humans and witches walking under the evening sky, and a few cars driving home.
There were no skyscrapers but large buildings dotted the city, easily dwarfing the pedestrians and their small, simple lives.
The Luminari city was devoid of the pressing and ominous feeling of war present back in Blood Oak and possibly every other pack in North America.
"I never imagined I’d be sleeping here at all." I blurted, sighing lightly before I glanced over my shoulder.
However, when my eyes landed inside the room, they almost fell out of their sockets at the sight within.
Odessa was standing in the middle of the dimly lit room, almost completely naked save for a silk white robe that clung thinly to her body.
She had a small smirk which was still visible despite the darkness, her wet blonde hair falling in waves down her shoulders.
"I remember when a certain someone pulled this same move on me during our trip to Mexico City." She purred, taking slow steps toward me. "I thought I might even things up a bit."
I swallowed hard, blood rushing through my body as my eyes followed the sensual movement of her waist.
"Even things up, eh?" I repeated with a slow, deliberate smirk curling my lips. "I like the sound of that. But quick question—"
"Do you really want to stand out there and ask questions?" She interrupted, grabbing the sides of her robe with a slow movement. "Or are you going to come in here let me show you what you’re missing out on?"
With a simple movement, she pulled off the robe, the cloth pooling under her feet. Her naked body was more than enough to blow away whatever dignity or restraint I had left.
Damon growled with need inside me as I broke the distance between me and our mate in a few swift strides. My right hand cupped her face while my left arm wrapped firmly around her waist, causing her to gasp as her body pressed flush against mine.
"I live for this naughty side of you." I chuckled with a deep growl, my lips ghosting over hers. "What’s the occasion tonight?"
She smiled, but this time it was one filled with warmth. "We’re about to go into a full-on war. One where I’m not sure of our chances."
My jaw tightened as she wrapped her hand around my right wrist, rubbing my skin tenderly.
"We’ll barely have the chance to be this intimate again. I say ’barely’ because I know how crazy we can get." She remarked, causing me to laugh softly.
I rubbed my thumb across her chin, my lips parted in a broad smile. "Then let’s make the most of it."
A mischievous glint flashed through her violet orbs just then. "So like... Maybe this time we can do it on the roof? Or while flying over the city."
My teeth shone. "Interesting idea. But I think I’ll pass for now."
All this talking and fantasising was only making me harder. My length bulged through my pants, poking against her body which radiated with a heat that further turned me on.
Her lips parted like she was going to say something, but before she could, my fingers found the back of her head, and I pulled her into a deep kiss.
A soft moan tore past her lips, her shoulders dropping as I maintained my grip on her waist.
My tongue slipped into her mouth, claiming, tasting, devouring like this would be the last time I’d ever have the honour to have her lips on mine.
Her kiss in return burned with passion, raw and needy, like a woman starved and tired of being silent. Well, tonight I promise to make her anything but silent.
I’ll make the entire fucking manor know that she’s mine.
For a breath, I broke the kiss, letting my eyes trail down her body.
From the gentle curve of her collarbone to her full breasts which I wanted to grab so bad. And goddess, her stomach was divine, adding depth to her hips.
It’ll give me much joy to put another baby in that belly.
"My queen," I whispered, pressing a kiss on her forehead. "Your body is a temple and I’m its devout worshipper. And tonight..."
I lowered my lips toward her chest, flicking my tongue over her nipple, revelling in the way her body vibrated under my hold.
"... I’ll stake my claim to this temple. I’ll make the whole world know it’s mine to keep. And mine to worship."
Her breathing came out in rash huffs but a soft chuckle left her mouth. "You should really consider a side job as a poet or something. If a career path like that exists anyway."
I grinned, my eyes fleeting to her face for a moment. "I’ll think about it after the war."
Yearning for all the pleasure of her body, I grabbed her legs firmly, raising her off the ground. At the same time, I took her right nipple into my mouth, sucking on it reverently.
She jolted, gasping in shivering breaths as her hands gripped my shoulders.
I took a few steps forward, searching for the nearest wall through nothing but pure instinct. My mouth was occupied, and my eyes sealed to savour the salty taste of her sweat dripping down her breasts.
Eventually, after several steps too many, I found a wall and pinned her against it, a grunt escaping my lips.
I brought my mouth to her other nipple, my tongue flicked it gently before I took it in as well.
At this point, she couldn’t control herself anymore. Her fingers snaked from my shoulders to my chest, finding my buttons with relative ease.
She undid them hastily, her moans becoming gradually louder until I could barely hear my own heartbeat.
When she flung my shirt away, the heat of our bodies mingled into one. I brought my mouth away from her nipples, attempting to look her in the eyes but then she gripped my chin with her fingers.
"Don’t. Stop." She cooed, her tone never more certain.
That was one command I was willing to follow till my last breath.
