From Slave To Queen (Athena and Michael) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78

He lets me stay like that as

as long as I need before I start to relax and sync with the rhythm of his body

“This is so wrong.“I murmur, my lips brushing his shoulder and kissing his collarbone.

*but it feels so good. Elara. You’re my favorite sin.”

And he is mine, without a doubt

Η

His fingers slide down to where our bodies are joined, and he starts tracing circles on my clit, distracting me from the pain.

His thrusts grow stronger, making my breath hitch and my legs wrap around his hips.

I surprise myself

self when I dig my h

heels into buttocks, pulling him deeper i

rinto me.

It hurts—but I want to feel all of him.

My movement drives him mad, and his thrusts become deeper.

Acry escapes my throat.

His thumb keeps circling my clit, increasing the pressure as he feels my heart racing toward release

Cassian buries his face in the curve of my neck, inhaling my scent while I fall apart beneath him.

His name spills from my lips in moans, my vision Blacks out, and I see nothing but bursts of color as fire licks through my veins.

I feel a tiny pinch at my neck and then Cassian’s lips sucking my blood, linking my orgasm to a forbidden pleasure I refuse to admit

“Cassian_”

He wraps his arms around me and sits on the bed with me on his lap, moving me slowly.

He grips my hips, guiding me to draw circles with my body on his shaft.

The penetration grows so deep it hurts to feel so full, and with a chantic rhythm, his name escapes me over and over until he reaches his own

His body falls forward, covering mine without crushing me, while a hot liquid slides down my thighs.

With

ith lips stained in my blood, hair tousled by my fingers, and eyes clouded with pleasure, Cassian looks at me—and smiles.

It’s a beautiful smile that completely unravels my heart.

Speaking of my heart, it stops when I feel his semen between my thighs again.

“Cassian what did you do!”

I bring my hands to my breasts to hide them from him.

“God, I’m not supid–) know how women get pregnant.”

He grabs my wrists, moves my hands away from my chest, and pins them above my head.

“You’re not going to get p

pregnant

“How can you be so su

sure?”

The edge of his nose brushes down my throat and into the valley between my breasts.

I can practically hear him purr as he delights in my scent and the softness of my skin.

“Because I take a tonár, Elara. That’s why I’m sure”

He dijahn hands beneath me and lifta me effortlessly.

“I won’t get you pregnant, and I’ve never gotten anyone pregnant. It’s completely effectiveTM

Chapter 78

“Yes, oh”

I think I feel a soft kiss on my temple.

“And I’m not done with you, just so you know.

This is only the beginning of your run

He gives that cocky smile again as he lays me on the large pillows of his bed.

He steps away from me and disappears through an ornate side door.

I use the time to glaner around.

The furniture is made of black wood with silver accents

The bed has four tall posts from which hang sheer burgundy curtains

There are in family portraits–actually, nothing decorates the cream–colored walls.

Sconces and chandeliers are scattered throughout the room, and the melted red was makes it look like they’re weeping blood

Beyond the bed, there’s a small archosay that leads into a study, where a tall bookshelf stands filled with books

I want to keep looking, but Cassian returns holding a damp cloth in his hands.

He touches my knee with gentle pressure.

“What are you doing?” I ask, my voice

ice higher than normal

“Cleaning you,” he replies in a bored one.

“Open your legs. Elara.”

“I’ve had my tongue inside you, Elara–I’ve seen more than enough. Open.”

“Does your tongue have to be so filthy!”

“Only filthy tongues give good orgasms

“You’re so full of yourself”

“Your body doesn’t seem to think so. Now, please–open your legs.”

I obey only because it’s useless to resist – he’s right

He’s seen and touched parts of me that still make me blush just thinking about it

My legs are still trembling slightly when I spread them wide and let him run the warm, damp cloth over me

This

“Sorry,” he murmurs.

He continues complete silence, carefully wiping away any trace of his release, along with the blood that proves 1 lost my virginity.

With him

Oh my God

Iould feel terrible–but instead, I feel more at peace than ever, as if I were resting on clouds.

He leaves the now pink–stained cloth on the flour and, to my surprise, slides beside me and makes me rest my head on his chest

He strokes my back in a steady rhythm.

My eyelids begin to grow heavy

Chapter 78

“What’s going to happen after this?”

The question slips from my lips, and I regret it instantly, because part of me doesn’t want to know the answer.

It would rather stay in ignorance,

“I don’t know”

“Will you ignore me tomorrow–or hate me again like always!” I whisper

Tve never ignored you—not even when I should have.”“”

He lifts my chin with his index finger.

“And I don’t just hate you—I want you. I want you beyond my principles”.

“But don’t expect a love story.

People like me don’t get happy endings:

Don’t worry–I’m not going to fall in love with you”

The corners of his eyes soften–though not too much.

My breathing grows heavier, lulled by the movement of his hand on my back.

“The problem isn’t you.”

When I wake early the next morning, whatever I thought I heard last night feels like a dream, and the spot beside me is empty and cold.
