Chapter 564: Flames In The Quiet (R18)

Orion’s grip on her thigh tightened, the heat of his palm against her skin. His other hand rose to cup the back of her neck, his thumb brushing the fluttering pulse just beneath her ear.

"You enjoy testing me, don’t you, shorty?" he growled softly.

Sophia’s breath hitched, but she didn’t pull away. Instead, she leaned in closer, her twisted ankle forgotten as the only thing she felt was the solid strength of Orion beneath her and the growing hardness pressing insistently against her core.

"You know I do," she whispered, her fingers threading into the dark strands at his nape, tugging just enough to make his breath catch. "What are you going to do about it, you oaf?"

His eyes darkened at that. In one fluid motion, he flipped them, laying her back against the bed and pillows with careful control so her injured ankle remained untouched. He hovered above her, caging her in with his arms.

"Quite the performance, don’t you think?" Sophia asked him with a smile.

"No, this isn’t a performance," Orion told her. "And besides," he said, voice rough, "I need to remind you that I’m slightly more handsome than Noctis."

Sophia chuckled. "Highly debatable," she told him. "But if you’re going to prove that, you should probably kiss me and stop talking, though I can’t—"

His mouth crashed down on hers, shutting her up. His tongue swept into her mouth, tasting her, devouring her soft moan as if it were the only sustenance he needed. Sophia kissed him back just as fiercely, her hands sliding under his tunic to rake her nails down the heated skin of his back, leaving faint red lines.

Orion broke the kiss only to trail his lips down the column of her throat, nipping sharply at the sensitive skin where her neck met her shoulder. His teeth grazed her flesh. Sophia arched into him with a gasp, her good leg hooking around his hip to pull him closer.

"Orion..." she breathed, half plea, half challenge.

His hand slid down her side, bunching the hem of her clothes higher and higher until cool air kissed her bare thighs.

Orion moved his hand expertly between her thighs, his fingers brushing her once, and she moaned softly.

"Already so wet for me," he murmured, his voice thick and dark with satisfaction. "You’re so naughty, shorty." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Sophia whimpered as one thick finger circled her with deliberate slowness, then dipped lower to tease her entrance without pushing inside. Her hips bucked instinctively, seeking more friction, but Orion pinned her down with his greater weight, careful not to jostle her healing ankle.

He added a second finger, spreading her wetness.

"Fuck," she moaned.

Orion smiled, then captured her mouth again in a bruising kiss while his fingers finally plunged inside her—two at once, curling immediately to stroke that sensitive spot deep within that made her see stars.

Sophia cried out into his mouth, her walls clenching greedily around the intrusion. He pumped them steadily, his thumb working tight, relentless circles, building the pressure with every skilled stroke.

The room filled with the wet sounds of his fingers working her, mingled with her broken gasps and his low growls. Orion’s free hand pushed her clothes up further, exposing her breasts to the cool air. He bent his head, sucking one peaked nipple into his mouth, his tongue flicking mercilessly while his teeth grazed the sensitive bud. Sophia’s back bowed off the bed, her fingers tangling tighter in his hair as pleasure coiled tighter and tighter in her core.

"Orion—Goddess, don’t stop—" she panted, her leg trembling where it wrapped around him.

He released her nipple with a wet pop, lifting his head to watch her face as he added a third finger, stretching her deliciously. "I won’t. Not until you’re dripping down my hand and begging for my cock. And perhaps also admit that I’m slightly more handsome than Noctis."

She laughed, but the sound only came out as a moan. Her inner muscles fluttered wildly around his fingers, the coil in her belly winding impossibly tight.

Orion sensed it, quickening his pace, curling his fingers harder against that perfect spot while his thumb pressed firmly.

"Come for me, shorty," he commanded, his voice a rough growl that vibrated through her chest. "Let me feel how much you need me."

The orgasm crashed over her like a storm. Sophia’s cry echoed in the room as her body seized, waves of pleasure ripping through her in powerful pulses. Her walls clamped down on his fingers, flooding them with fresh slick as she shook beneath him, her vision whiting out for long, blissful seconds.

Orion worked her through every tremor, slowing his movements only when her cries turned to soft whimpers. He withdrew his fingers gently, bringing them to his mouth to lick them clean with a satisfied rumble. The sight of it—his eyes locked on hers while he tasted her—sent another shiver through Sophia’s spent body.

But he wasn’t done. Not nearly.

Orion rose up on his knees, shedding his tunic and trousers in swift movements. His cock sprang free, thick and heavy, the flushed head already glistening with beads of precum. Sophia’s gaze dropped to it, darkening with fresh hunger. She reached for him instinctively, but Orion caught her wrist, pinning it gently above her head alongside the other.

"Not yet," he rasped, his voice strained with the effort of holding back. "I want to feel you come on my cock this time. I want to bury myself so deep you’ll still feel me tomorrow when you walk."

Sophia almost told him there was no argument about that and that she always felt him the next day after they had sex, but she wasn’t able to.

Because Orion had already positioned himself at her entrance, rubbing the blunt head through her soaked folds, coating himself thoroughly in her arousal. The teasing pressure made Sophia whimper again, her hips twitching upward.

"Orion, please..."

"Please what?" he asked her with a smirk.

Sophia groaned. "Don’t tease me, you know what I want."

"But you tease me all the time..."

"...as do you. Fucking—please, put it in," she cried.

Orion chuckled. "Your wish is my command, oh short one."
