ZEN

I blow out the stress as I walk into the castle room and toss my jacket in the bed. I rub the back of my head as I cross the Persian rug on the floor and head for the grey sheer covered windows. I stare out to the dusky sky and hear the antique wooden door close.

Zander decided the council would be safer in the councils castle under its cloak and together should anything happen. We've all taken rooms and are now turning in. Riley will address us in the morning and tell us what she knows, then we will figure out a game plan.

For now, I need to stop my head from thinking. This was an unloading of information I didn’t need after being almost killed. I just want to rest.

“Want to talk about it?”

I stuff my hands in my back pockets and turn. “Not really.”

He strolls across the floor. “You gotta have questions, Zennie.”

My eyes meet his soft brown ones. “Honestly, Ave. All I want is sleep and start figuring out how to shut this down.”

He tilts his head. “You promised.”

“Promised what?” I breathe and flop my hand to my side.

He steps into my space. “You promised not to shut me out or be avoidant. I told you something huge. You heard some mind blowing things and all you want to do is go to sleep?”

I shake my head. “What do I need to say? You’re a shifter. You lied. You pretended to be human. You explained it was a way to deny your father and your species. Is that right?”

He nods. “In not so many words.”

“I don’t see the point of unpacking what we already packed. We said no more secrets. We said no more fights and I’m holding my end.” I push past him and walk to the four poster bed.

“You forget I know you. You like to stew. Don’t do that. I want honesty. If you want it from me, you have to give it back.” He says to my back.

I chew my lip as I look at the floor. He lifts my chin and my eyes lock with his. “You mean everything to me. I want to marry you, Zen. In the worst way. But I can’t if there’s still an elephant in the room. Honestly. Is there?”

I study his face. “It is huge. I’ll need time to adjust. But I can’t do anything about it. It’s something you have to deal with. If you think you can work with this, then I can’t argue that, can I?”

“Ok. Then promise me this.” He gently kisses my lips. “Before the silent treatments. Before the passive aggression. Before the angered outbursts. You promise to talk first. If this becomes a problem at any time. You tell me, Esmerelda. Promise.”

The corner of my lip ticks up and I nod. “I can do that. I promise.”

“I love you so much.” He rests his forehead on mind, then pauses. “Marry me.” He whispers.

I smile with a soft chuckle. “Marry you.”

“Yes. Make me the happiest man on the planet. Become my gorgeous wife.”

“That depends.” I raise a brow. “Will you show up this time?”

He grins. “ I think this time I just might.”

I slap his chest and huff a laugh.

He threads his hand into my hair and pulls my lips to his. My lips part as the feel of his velvet tongue and I melt into him.

Regardless of his birth, the whole time we were together, he showed nothing but love. His lies were out of fear. He’s not what his DNA says. I don’t think he ever will be. I think I’m a little more accepting because I have never seen Draco in him and I wouldn’t have if he hadn’t told me. If it turns out I’m wrong, I’ll deal with it. For right now, I’ll take Avery’s story as a sign he wanted to leave his father in hell where he belonged, but was forced to use him out of fear.

Miranda is a whole other issue I’m not prepared to get into right now. But we will be talking about that when this is over.

As he holds my cheeks, and drowns me in kisses, he walks me backward to the bed. He glides his hands down to the hem of my t-shirt and lifts it. He breaks to pull it up over my head and then grabs his shirt from behind and pulls it off.

I wrap my arms around his head as I find his lips and kiss him. He wraps his arms around my waist with a moan and turns us around. He crawls us onto the bed and I get lost in his heart. His love for me feels so real. I think this is also why I just want to leave everything alone. I need these lips. I need this strength. I need this love. I need him and I don’t want to put a wedge in that.

His touch is slow and gentle as he caresses my skin and runs his hand between my breasts, up my neck and into my hair. My legs spread and he settles himself between them. I feel his neck, shoulders and back as he bruises my lips.

His hand slides down my stomach to my jeans. He pops the button and pulls the zipper down. I run my nails down his muscular chest and stomach to his belt. I slowly undo it and pop the button on his jeans.

He breaks the kiss and licks and sucks my neck as he kicks off his boots and they thud on the stone floor.

He kisses under my chin and my other side as I moan at the feeling of his want.

He pulls off my bra and kneads my breast as his hips push on the apex of my jeans. He kisses down to my nipple and sucks it into his mouth. I softly moan as I arch back. He kisses down my body and hooks his fingers on my jeans. He slowly pulls them down as he nips and licks my stomach.

He takes off my panties with my jeans and tosses them off the bed. He continues to kiss my skin as his hand float down my thighs.

I rise on my elbows as he gently lifts and spreads my legs. He kisses my inner left thigh down to my core. His lips float around the outer lips of my pussy and I let out a shakey breath. His eyes lock with mine as his tongue slips into past them and lick up to my clit.

“I missed this taste.” He purrs before licking again.

“Yes…” I breathe. I run my fingers into his hair as he twirls circles around my inner lips. I watch as he slowly brings his tongue up and aucks my clit into his mouth.

“Oh…Ave…” I pant as I feel the fire grow between my legs.

His beard tickles as his tongue flicks my clit. My thighs shake as a small smile grows on my lips. He sucks and licks my pussy and I spread my legs wider around his head.

He holds my thighs as he runs his tongue all over and sucks my pussy into his mouth.

“Yess… So good…” I moan and connect with his eyes. He smilies ad he locks my clit.

He puts his whole mouth on my pussy and I feel his tongue assault me. I grip his hair as my climax starts to build.

My bent legs shake around as he holds them wide. I roll my head and moan louder.

“AVE… YESS! LIKE THAT!”

He sucks and licks harder as I feel my orgasm peak. He teases my entrance with his fingers and drives me right over the edge.

“YESSSS!!”

He drives two fingers into my entrance and pumps my pussy fast as he sits up and wipes his chin. “So fucking wet.” He growls with a grin. He holds my thigh down as he forces my orgasm to grow. “Give me more, Zennie… so tight…”

My pussy gushes as I arch back. He fingers me harder and my juices coat his hand as he makes my climax last.

He kicks off his jeans, forces my legs up and out and shoves his rock solid dick into my entrance.

“Fuck, yes!!” He grinds as he thrusts hard from the start. He’s determine to milk multiples out of me and I love it.

“YESS, AVE!!!”

I fall back and plant my hands on the headboard.

He sits on his knees as his Hi slam into my thighs. He grabs a breast and squeezes as I scream.

“God, Zennie… So hot…” He drawls as his strokes go deeper.

He spreads my thighs wider and holds them to the bed. He bares down and his finger indent my skin.

He rubs my clit with my thumb as he fucks me harder.

“GOD, YESSSSS!”

“Yes, Zen… Soak my cock, baby…” He purrs.

He bends down and sucks my breasrs as his hips rock faster. He kisses up to my neck and cheek and I wrap my arms around him. My pussy tightens and I feel his dick swell.

“Yes.Yes.Yes… God, YESSS!”

“Come, baby. Come for me.” He breathes in my ear.

My climax grew faster than the first one.

“Ave… I’m… YESSS!”

“Zennie…” He clenches as I feel his body tense and my pussy clamps. My pussy soaks him and his dick explodes his release into me.

“FUCK, YES!!” He growls loud as his orgasm rockets out. He devours my lips and I wrap my arms and legs around his body as he thrusts out the last few drops.

Our tongues dance in the euphoria and love. I hold the back of his head as he sucks my bottom lip.

He slows down and stops as he slows his kisses. His satisfied eyes look into mine. His chest rests on mine and we pant to catch out breath. The heat is still radiating off our bodies and our hearts are beating like mad in unison.

He softly smiles. “I don’t deserve you.”

“You don’t, but I’ll allow it.” I smirk and he laughs on my lips before swallowing me up in his body and lips. He throws the blanket over us and we prove how much we deserve each other before falling asleep in each other’s arms.

I don’t know if this will work. Avery could be so consumed with lust that I lose my life. Right now, I’m willing to risk it. I’ve missed this man for far too long.

If there is such a thing as fate for humans, Avery’s mine.

And no one is telling me otherwise.
