Chapter Twenty-Two

Darcy Mortlake

A couple of hours ago, if you were to tell me I’d be back home with my alphas tongue up my ass, I would have laughed at you.

A few hours ago, I was trapped in a desperate situation, my fate hanging in the balance. But now, I find myself in a state of blissful surrender, wrapped in the tender touch of my mate's hands and lips. The once-forgotten warehouse has transformed into a sacred space, where our bodies moved in perfect harmony, our hearts beating as one.

Coming down from my first orgasm, my mate doesn’t even give me any time to catch my breath before I’m rolled over onto my back. His eyes slightly crazed and the aroused scent wafting off of him is enough to have my length refilling.

Thinking back to Eddy's words, his reluctance to seal the bond due to my lost raven a testament to his desire to hold back, but his eyes betray his true intention - to claim me as his own, to merge our bodies and souls forever. The depth of his love was the driving force behind his hesitation, not a desire to break free, but to solidify our eternal union.

Without words, Eddy leans his warm body on top of mine, careful enough to not crush my tiny frame, and pushes two of his fingers against my hole. My body easily accepting him, because I was made for him.

The air is heavy with the intoxicating aroma of our primal desire, a heady mix of sweat, sex, and secrets shared. My mouth waters in anticipation, craving the taste of his skin, the feel of his lips, and the surrender of his body to mine.

When I teeter on the brink of a second orgasm, my alpha's fingers slowly withdraw from my body, leaving me craving more. I arch my back, my breathless cry echoing through the air as Eddy's gaze meets mine, his eyes burning with a silent plea for permission to claim me. With deliberate slowness, he trails the swollen head of his cock along the sensitive outer rim of my hole, the touch igniting a fire that threatens to consume me whole.

He glides in with a gentle, deliberate ease, his entry unmarked by any hint of discomfort or pain. Instead, the sensation is one of slow-burning pleasure, like embers fanning into a warm flame that spreads through my core. The first inch of him disappears into me, then the second, and I feel my body relaxing, releasing its tension as he fills me, his thick length stretching and claiming me in a way that I’ve always craved.

The air is heavy with the scent of desire, our bodies slick with sweat as we savour every moment of this primal, all-consuming connection. Every brush of skin against skin sends a shiver of pleasure coursing through us, our hearts pounding in time with the rhythm of our love

Clinging to each other, our bodies trembling with the near-miss of losing each other, I crave the frenzied passion only my alpha can deliver. I wrap my legs around Eddy's waist, my heels digging deep into the tender flesh of his ass as I plead with him to unleash his wild abandon. “Harder, faster, now,” I whisper, my voice husky with desire, as I rock against him with reckless abandon,

His gaze burns into mine, a fierce hunger radiating from his darkening eyes as he growls, “Tell me, tell me what you crave, omega. What do you need from me to make you explode?” The air is heavy with the scent of desire as he looms over me, his body tense with anticipation, his voice low and husky with want .

“Take me harder, claim me. Devour me with every fibre of your being. Make me feel like I'm the only one you've ever wanted, the only one you'll ever need. Just fuck me harder.”

Eddy claims my mouth in a fervent kiss, his tongue tracing the curves of my lips as he pulls me closer. His hands weave a sensual dance around my waist, his fingers digging gently into my skin as he positions me over his thigh. My legs tighten around his waist, my feet nestled together as he buries himself deep within me.

I can't resist the urge to touch myself, my fingers wrapping around my shaft in a slow, sultry caress. Before I can indulge, his hand shoots out, swatting mine away like a fly. “This is mine,” he growls, his voice low and husky, as he claims my cock with his own hand.

Succumbing to the pleasure, my head rolls back in abandon, my senses consumed by the tender touch of my mate's hand wrapping around my cock. His firm grip mimics the rhythm of his thrusts, each stroke a sweet serenade that leaves me breathless. I feel myself tightening around him, the sensation building to a climax. When I warn him I'm about to come, his eyes flash with a fierce hunger, and I know he'll do anything to prolong this moment, to keep me suspended in this peak of pleasure.

Eddy's fingers release their grip on my cock, and his mouth descends upon the tender skin between my neck and shoulder, his tongue tracing the curve of my jawline with deliberate slowness. As our bodies entwine, our nonverbal cues speak volumes, a primal understanding passing between us like a spark of electricity. His gaze sears into mine, a burning intensity that seems to melt the very air around us. I see myself reflected in his eyes - the same hunger, the same longing, the same unquenchable thirst. This is it, the moment of truth, when our bond will be forged, and our souls will become one .

Eddy's lips close in on my neck, I anticipate the sensation of his teeth sinking into my skin, the promise of pleasure and pain mingling like a tantalising spark. His bite is swift and decisive, a claim of ownership that makes me shudder. The sudden rush of sensation sends a jolt of excitement coursing through my veins, and I arch into him, my body craving more. The sting of the bite is a delicious counterpoint to the tender touch that had come before.

My blood pours into Eddy's mouth and our bond crackles to life like a wildfire, infusing my being with an intoxicating rush of sensation. My body shudders in ecstasy as our connection reverberates through every cell, triggering a climax that leaves me spent but soaring through the clouds. We're suspended in a moment of breathless expectation, our love hanging precariously in the balance, yet tantalisingly incomplete.

Consciousness slowly seeps back into my foggy mind, I'm acutely aware of the rhythmic pulse of my alpha's body, his cock still buried deep within me, his knot a delicious pressure against my rim. The scent of sweat and sex wafts up from his skin, mingling with the metallic tang of blood on his lips. Eddy's gaze is half-lidded, his eyes burning with a feral intensity as he pants against my face, his mouth parted in a ravishing snarl.

The thrum of his pulse against Eddy’s skin is a siren's call, drawing me in with an unstoppable pull. I tilt my head, my tongue darting out to lap up the salty sweetness of his sweat, my taste buds tingling in anticipation. I savour the moment, the scent of musk and earthy undertones wafts up, a primal invitation to surrender. Without warning, I strike, my teeth sinking into his neck with a satisfying crunch. The rush of coppery flavour explodes on my tongue, a heady mix of pleasure and power that leaves me panting.

The bond takes hold, I lavish attention on the tender flesh of my mate's freshly claimed mark, my lips tracing the curve of his skin with a gentle kiss, my teeth grazing his sensitive spots with a sweet nip. Eddy's eyes flash with pleasure as his hips buck against me, his body responding to my touch like a wild animal awakened. The knot within me grows, expanding with an insistent pressure that finally releases in a rush of liquid heat, flooding me with the proof of his desire.

Our lips meet, our mouths moving in perfect sync, we become one, our bond strengthened by the life-giving flow of blood between us. Our fingers weave a tender dance across each other's skin, tracing the contours of each other's features with a gentle reverence.

"I love you, Darcy," Eddy breathes, his warm breath tickling against my lips, his words a gentle caress that sends shivers down my spine. His nose gently brushes against my own and I feel the world around us melt away, leaving only the two of us, lost in the depths of our love.

‘I adore you, my fierce and fearless alpha,’ my raven whispers, his voice cracking with emotion. ‘In this life and the next, I belong to you, body and soul.’

Eddy's eyes lock onto mine, his expression frozen in stunned wonder as a soft, sweet smile creeps across his face. "Ah, my little raven," he whispers, his voice trembling with passion, "I've missed you."

"I love you, Eddy", I mumble before my eyelids flutter shut, surrendering to the all-consuming exhaustion that's been building within me for days. But even as I succumb to its grasp, Eddy's warmth seeps into my very marrow, and I'm flooded with the knowledge that this moment – this electric, pulsing moment – will be etched into my soul forever. The realisation is almost too much to bear: our love has become a blazing fire, a force that rages through every fibre of my being, illuminating every dark corner of my heart.
