Chapter 83
Chapter 83 DANE I waited , every part of me straining at the edge of control , for her answer .
I had sensed over the last few days that she was holding herself back from me in a way she hadnt before .
I wasnt sure why .
Now I knew .
This higher powers bullshit .
I served the goddess , sure .
Serving her didnt make me good or evil .
It just made me practical .
There was no such thing as fate .
or destiny .
Only how you chose to act in any given moment .
If Aurora believed she was being claimed by some kind of darkness , the answer was simple .
Tell it no .
Dont serve it .
We are all no more and no less than the person we choose to be .
Well ? I asked .
Auroras eyelids fluttered , as if shed just lost some big internal war with herself , and she nodded .
Yes , she whispered .
I want to be yours , and I want you to be mine .
I dont have the strength to fight against what I want anymore .
Especially now that you want me , too .
I waited so long … Chapter 83 Her cheeks were wet with tears .
I brushed them away , then kissed her again , keeping my lips soft against hers .
2/5 If I knew anything about Aurora , its that she had been treated plenty of ways over the years , but very few of those ways had been kind , tender , or loving .
I wanted her to know what it felt like to be loved tonight ..
I should have given her that so long ago .
I rose , gently pushing her until she lay on her back on the bed , and I could brace myself over her .
Everything was bullshit except this .
Everything was fucked up , but I believed her .
I slipped an arm beneath her and moved us both so that we lay on the bed .
My hips were between her open thighs , and I wanted nothing more than to forget the world and sink inside .
But like I said , she deserved to feel loved .
Dane , she said , sounding shy .
I havent been with anyone since … A low growl rumble through me at the thought of her being with someone else .
Since when ? Since you , she whispered .
Chapter 83 It was like a giant hand reached out and grabbed me by the throat .
3/5 Fuck .
When I spoke , I couldnt help that my voice sounded like it was being dragged over gravel .
I looked down at her , pale and silvery in the darkness , and stroked hair away from her gorgeous face .
You havent been with anyone since me ? And that … that was your first time .
I remembered the way she winced .
The smear of blood .
I remembered the way that guilt had gnawed at me , even then , believing the things about her that I had .
I lowered my forehead to press against hers .
Fuck , Aurora .
Im sorry .
Im sorry for the way I treated you back then .
Let me show you what its supposed to be like .
Her throat bobbed as she swallowed .
Then she said , Id like that .
And I want … I want you to teach me how to please you .
I started kissing down her neck.
I couldnt get enough of her skin , soft and sweetly scented and so addictive .
The only way Ill be pleased is by watching you feel pleasure .
If I do something you like , tell me .
If I do something you dont , tell me .
0.
I kissed lower , and she moved against me .
I love every way you touch me , Dane .
Chapter 83 4/5 The breathiness of her voice made my already hard cock ache .
Bringing her out here to my grandfathers house had been pure instinct .
All I wanted then was to be alone .
No distractions .
Away from the pack and their poisoned thoughts toward her .
But now I was doubly glad Id brought her here .
This time , there would be no interruptions .
This time , I would make her mine .
Over and over again , as many times as she wanted .
As many as she could handle .
I lowered myself onto her soft body , aligning my hardness with her sex .
She gasped and arched against me .
So damned .
responsive , it pushed me toward the edge like I was some out of control teenage boy .
I gritted my teeth and forced myself to regain control .
Tonight was about her , and I was going to take it slow .
Even if it was sheer fucking torture for me to draw out the moments until I was inside her , it would be the sweetest torture I could dream .
It feels so good … she whispered .
Then she paused .
Even though the light was dim , I could see her cheeks flush deep pink .
What is it? I asked .
Ive changed in so many ways .
Ive had so many experiences , and I love that Ive been able to do that .
But when it comes to this … I still feel like the naïve virgin you took to bed five years ago .
Chapter 83 5/5 I laughed quietly and kissed my way back up to her ear .
Then lets change that .
By the time were done , I promise you wont feel naïve anymore .
