I tried anyway, swallowing and gasping, making several attempts before I finally managed to whine; \u201cI need you inside me. Please. Please.\u201d \u201cFuck.\u201d He didn\u2019t waste a moment, sliding two thick fingers into me and hissing appreciatively when I immediately clenched around him.<\/p>\n<p>His thumb took the place of his fingers, sliding over my slick and sensitive bud while he pumped in and out of me. My hands curled into claws on his shoulders, and I was writhing, moaning with an abandon that was entirely new to me. This was all new, the potency of each sensation and especially the effect on my magic. During sex, my Flame was normally curled up in my chest, perhaps glowing a little at most, not racing along my skin, igniting me right down to the ends of my hair; not making a fucking pyre of my body.<\/p>\n<p>It was almost alarming, and even as the blinding pleasure ratcheted up and up, even as I urged him on with his name on my lips, I was terrified of what might happen when I reached the edge I was blazing towards. Caelan was still watching me so closely, lips parted around his ragged breath, but something must have shown on my face because a frown creased his brow before he leaned in.<\/p>\n<p>He took my lip between his own, then dragged it through his teeth. \u201cTell me,\u201d he gritted out; demanded, before he released my lip. \u201cWorried,\u201d I gasped. \u201cAbout?\u201d \u201cMagic\u2019s acting up. Might set you on fire?\u201d He just laughed, and his pace shifted, fingers moving faster inside me, the wet noise of him entering my body again and again as obscene as it was utterly devastating.<\/p>\n<p>My moans bordered on sobs, overlapping the low words he spoke in my ear. \u201cThen I\u2019ll burn, Rosie, and I\u2019ll love every fucking minute of it.\u201d That fear was apparently the last tether holding me back, and at his gruff reassurance and the relentless pace of his hand between my legs, I shattered so suddenly I couldn\u2019t stop the scream that rose with the final exultant burst of my Flame. I came and came, freefalling within myself to meet the rising height of my magic.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024 Ava Smiddy All rights reserved.
