His Forsaken Luna-Chapter 142: Yours (3)

We lay together for a while on the forest floor, the snow encircling us, the ice never frosting over the ground, yielding to our presence, leaving it untouched as though it feared interrupting us.

The woods still carried an eerie quiet, a weight in the air that hinted at unseen eyes and unheard whispers. The wildlings could still be out there, or perhaps other creatures had stirred, awakened by the sounds of their brethren causing the Weres problems. Yet, none approached. None dared.

With or without his wolf, Eryx was a beast, his presence commanded the woods into silence. He was a force of nature, the predator, the hunter. Right now, that same feral hunter was deliciously between my legs, his body claiming mine in a way that left me trembling with need.

And oh, how I needed him. Insatiable. We were insatiable.

Every nerve in my body was alight, a fire that only he could quench. Eryx was the same, his hands gripped me, the tension in his muscles, the growl that lingered in his throat whenever our gazes met. The bond between us pulsed, urging us onward, pushing us past reason and restraint.

We had been savouring each other, letting the intensity build, but the moment had shifted. The kisses turned hotter, deeper, no longer slow and tender but hungry and consuming. The heat between us now was unbearable, a molten force that demanded release.

The need was palpable, thrumming between us, urging us to continue, make it official.

Eryx moved above me, his body caging mine against the ground, his weight a reassuring presence. His lips left mine to trail along my jaw, down the column of my neck, where his teeth grazed my skin. A gasp escaped me, my head falling back, giving him full access. His hands roamed my body with a reverence that was almost at odds with the raw hunger in his movements.

"Idalia," he murmured, his voice rough, his breath hot against my skin. My name sounded like a prayer, a promise.

"Mine. My mate."

I shivered at his words, my wolf stirring in my mind, echoing his claim. I arched into him, my hands finding his shoulders, my nails raking against his skin, leaving marks he would wear with pride. "Yours," I whispered.

We couldn’t stop repeating those words even as our bodies claimed every inch of each other. I wore his love bites like a trophy but they weren’t the ultimate prize we were both edging towards.

His growl deepened, his lips capturing mine again in a kiss that stole my breath. The feel of his canines pricking my lips, spilling some blood. We were close. Oh so close.

My skin burned and throbbed at the back of my neck and at my collarbone, making me whimper and cling to him as I felt his canines graze along my cheek and to behind my ear, down my neck, like a dangerous caress.

"I want to mark you, I need to..." His hot, feverish kisses turn into sucking and biting at my skin. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Eryx looked up at me, those intense eyes locked with mine. "Tell me... Tell me you want it, little mate."

"You know I do.." I moaned breathlessly. "Yes.. Eryx claim me.."

Eryx’s canines graze to my collarbone and I braced myself for the pain, the deliciousness of being marked as his, the feeling of being utterly complete. But then he shifted, pulling me up with him, making my breath whoosh out at his quickness.

Before I could process the change, my back was pressed against his chest, his arms wrapping around me in a possessive hold. His hands splayed against my stomach, pulling me tightly against him, and the heat of his body seeped into mine, making me tremble.

The world around us blurred. All I could feel was him and the way his breath teased the back of my neck, the way his canines grazed my skin, the way his hands roamed over me, possessive and sure. He was everywhere, overwhelming me, consuming me.

"Lia," he growled again, his voice darker now, almost unrecognizable. There was a feral edge to it, a hint of his wolf just beneath the surface. I could feel his restraint slipping, his control fraying, and it sent a thrill racing through me. I wanted it. I wanted all of him, raw and unrestrained, his wolf and his human.

"Eryx," I breathed, my voice trembling but firm. "Don’t hold back. I need you. All of you."

Something in him snapped. His growl turned into a low rumble, vibrating through his chest and into my back. His hands gripped me tighter, his teeth grazing my neck, and I felt the sharp points of his canines elongating. My wolf howled in my mind, pushing me to meet him, to claim him as he claimed me.

The sharp pain melted into a burst of pleasure so intense it left me trembling. The bite was deep, claiming, marking me in the most primal way possible. I cried out his name, my body arching as the bond between us flared to life, burning bright and powerful, completely snapping into place.

My eyes burned from the bond and the emotions roaring into me. I could feel him. I could feel Eryx.

He didn’t stop thrusting inside of me, slow as his canines gripped at the back of my neck. Everyone would know now who I was mated to and how he claimed me. A thrill rushed through me as I cried out, my hand in the back of his hair, feeling myself completely impaled by him.

His movements then became more urgent as he guided me to the ground again, but this time I was on all fours, my back arched, my body perfectly aligned with his. The rawness of the position, the feral intimacy of it, sent a flush racing through me.

This was instinct. This was nature. This was us.

He moved behind me, his hands gripping my hips, his growl low and constant as he pushed into me hard. A cry escaped my lips and his hand wrapped around my throat to keep my head right beside his. I gasped as he licked at the back of my neck tenderly as he brutally and deliciously took me.

Every thrust sent a wave of heat through me, every growl made my wolf rise higher, pushing me closer to the edge. He was barely holding back.

His teeth grazed the back of my neck, his breath hot against my skin. I could feel the tension in him, the way his control was slipping. He was holding back, but only barely. "Idalia," he growled, his voice rough and wild. "Mine."

"Yours," I gasped, my hands clawing at the ground as I pushed back against him, meeting his every movement. "Always yours."

That was all it took. His growl turned into a roar, his hands tightening on my hips as he drove into me so wildly he stole my breath. I cried out, telling him not to stop until we both tensed. Stars burst behind my eyes and I felt the wave of his release rushing through him as well. I almost flopped down but he held me up.

His growl softened into a low rumble, his tongue soothing the bite as he held me close. Everything seemed to still except for our breaths and racing hearts. I could feel his mark on me, throbbing a little in pain and from a rush of power.

Eryx pulled me against his chest, his arms wrapping around me as we collapsed onto the ground together. His breathing was ragged, his chest heaving against my back. He buried his face in my hair, his lips brushing against my ear as he whispered, "Forever, little mate."

I turned my head slightly, meeting his gaze over my shoulder. His vivd green eyes glowed with satisfaction. I sealed his words with a kiss, melting into him, prolonging it. I swore I could hear a howl in my mind but it wasn’t my wolf’s it was his.

Our bodies hummed with the mate bond, the power rippling over us as the full moon shone brightly down on our union. We were one, and I could hear the forest’s sharp inhale like this was only the beginning of our reckoning.
