Oh, well.
I pulled out, and when I looked between us, I could see faint traces of pink mixed with her earlier releases.
Neve was mine.
When I pushed back in, her body arched, her hands fisting the sheets again. “Oh, God…more…”
“Gladly, baby,” I grunted, my body beginning to mark her as mine. My body beginning that sacred dance as old as time.
Soon, Neve was making the sexiest sounds to have ever hit my ears. There was a raging storm destroying everything outside this house, but all I could hear were her whimpers and moans. All I could focus on was her face in the throes of passion. All I could feel was her virgin cunt squeezing the life out of my cock.
Staring down at Neve, watching her take my cock, I knew next time I was going to make sure we were completely naked. I was feeling slightly cheated that I couldn’t watch her tits bounce freely while I was fucking her. However, I wasn’t going to stop for that minor detail.
I wasn’t going to stop for anything.
Neve’s moans got louder the harder I slammed into her, and now that she was no longer in pain, it was all about the pleasure. “I hope you’re ready for this dick all night long, baby,” I practically growled down at the girl. “I’m not leaving you alone until I can’t get it up anymore.”
“Yes,” she hissed, her eyes flaring as she looked down at where we were joined. “More, Easton,” she begged, and I knew I’d never tire of hearing her beg for my dick. And because Neve was strong and proudful, her pleas for pleasure were going to be something I was going to hold sacred. There’s no way I’d ever tease her or make her feel ashamed over how badly she wanted me. No other man on the planet was ever going to know this side of her, and I was going to cherish the shit out of that fact.
Damn near folding her over, I leaned down in her face, grabbed her chin, and forced her to look at me as my hips crashed into hers over and over again. “When I’m done stretching out your pussy, your mouth is next, Neve.” Her hands flew up and those claws of hers latched onto my back. “You’re going to swallow every inch of me,” I grunted. “Every fucking inch, baby.”
“Easton!”
She came on a scream, every ounce of masculinity I possessed roared in satisfaction as I held fast and steady and. Just. Kept. On. Fucking. Her.
No early release here.
Before her body had time to finish trembling, I pulled out of her tight nirvana and flipped her over until she was on all fours. I flipped her skirt up over her ass, and pulling her hips back, I slammed back into her for all I was worth.
Her arms collapsed, and she was face down on the bed, her ass presented to me like a gift from the gods. “Oh, fuck…Easton…oh, God…”
“You’re mine, Neve,” I panted behind her. “You’re fucking mine, and no one is ever going to keep you from me again.” Anger was trying to creep its way in at the thought that I could have been fucking this girl for years already, but I was robbed of that. We should fucking be married right now. Our lives together should have started years ago. We’ve been bonded since the fucking womb.
Neve let out a soft whimper, and that’s when I realized my fingers were digging into her hips painfully, and I was railing her hard as fuck from behind.
But I didn’t stop.
“Say it,” I demanded like an insecure prick. “Say it.”
She knew immediately what I was asking. “I’m yours,” she cried out. “I’m yours.”
“And I’m fucking yours,” I promised her. “I’m yours. All of me. Everything I have is yours, baby.”
Neve came all over my cock again.
This time, I couldn’t hold back. This time, there was no masculine victories. This time, I fed her greedy cunt every fucking inch I had as my balls emptied inside her tightness. Rope after rope of release coated her womb and you know what?
Fuck condoms.
“Easton…” she whispered, spent, a limp mess that was just letting me rail into her until my dick started to soften, and we were both useless.
I dropped on the bed, then pulled her to me. We laid there, our legs hanging over the edge of the bed, half-clothed, and a mess, and it was fucking perfect.
After the storm died down, and I was sure she’d fallen asleep, Neve’s voice broke through the silence. “I’ve imagined losing my virginity lots of times,” she mumbled. “But I never imagined that.”
My arm tightened around her. “And we’re only just starting.”
“Easton, I’m not sure my body can take much more after that,” she said, inflating my ego bigger than it already was.
“Tough shit,” I replied, romance never being my strong suit.
Neve laughed just like I had hoped.
Chapter 16
Neve~
The planned had started out easy enough. I was supposed to have spent the night with Easton, get ready for school, be a productive high school senior, then go back home, so my parents could see for themselves that I was alive and safe, and all was well.
Well, you know what they say about best-laid plans.
After a night of making up for the past however many years, Easton and I had passed out at around three this morning, making school the next day a pipe dream.
The night had been unlike anything I could have possibly imagined, and if there was no going back before, there was definitely no going back now.
Not after everything I let him to do my body last night.
Goose bumps still raced down my spine when I thought about all the stuff that we’d done last night. For two virgins, we sure as hell hadn’t acted like it. It hadn’t been until after the third round that Easton had revealed what his father’s idea of sex education had been. And though I had been appalled at the very idea, there was no denying that I had benefitted from the sick, twisted way Astra Keenstone had raised his sons. If I didn’t already know everything I did about this bizarre situation, I never would have believed that Easton had been a virgin, too.
There was also the fact that nothing had been off limits last night. Easton and I had explored each other all night long, and it had felt like it was both too much and not enough. He kept reminding me that we had years to make up for, and as far as he had been concerned, he couldn’t fuck me enough.
His words, not mine.
So, I had texted Avalon at three in the morning and had asked her to cover for me. Even though my parents were embarrassingly aware of what was happening between their daughters and Griffin and Easton, I couldn’t bring myself to call my parents and have them call in sick for me because I’d been up all night screwing a boy I’ve only known for a handful of weeks.
When I had finally woken up around noon, I had woken up to an empty bed, but I hadn’t been upset. With Easton having three gifts to my one, I imagined his stamina outmatched mine, so I wasn’t surprised that he’d already started his day.
And in the sweetest gesture that I had never expected from a guy like Easton Keenstone, lunch in bed had been served before he had taken me one last time before running a hot bath for me. When I had called him out on his romantic gestures, he had denied that he was being romantic. He had claimed he was just doing what he was supposed to, and that was taking care of me. I had given myself to him and it was his responsibility to take care of me now. It had sounded so simple, yet I knew it wasn’t. Not all men thought that way.
The rest of the afternoon had been spent with Easton trying to answer my questions as best he could, but he hadn’t been able to tell me anything more than what Griffin’s already shared with us. It kind of sucked, but he couldn’t tell me what he didn’t know.
The biggest issue was that Griffin and Easton were expected to return to Rýkr and rule it like the many generations before them. However, for me and Avalon, Rýkr wasn’t our home. It didn’t matter that there was an entire town of people who we could identify with, we didn’t belong there. We belonged here. Our parents were here. Our friends were here. Our childhoods were here. And even though the plan had been for u
s to go to college, Seaport was where we’d come back to during our vacation breaks. Our parents were staying in Seaport, making Seaport our real home.
So, after Easton had driven me home (as if I’d just gotten off of school), I had waited patiently for Avalon to come home because I had needed to share, but I had also wanted to talk to her about going to Rýkr.
“I feel bad for Mom and Dad,” Avalon said, the both of us sitting in the backyard on the swing set Dad still had out there for us. “Imagine having to stand back and being unable to do anything but watch your children being thrust into this new world.”
“It can’t be easy,” I agreed. “Especially, for Dad.”
“Griffin’s going to spend more time with him,” she added, surprising me a bit.
“He is?”
Avalon nodded. “It was his idea,” she continued. “He thinks if Dad gets to know him better, it’ll lessen some of the stress in this house. Griffin wants me to be happy, and he knows I won’t be if Mom and Dad are unhappy.”
My heart warmed. Even though Easton was proving not to be such a jerk, Griffin was a good guy all the way around. “I think that’s a good idea.”
Avalon smiled over at me. “I think so, too.”
“So…”
Avalon showed all her teeth. “So…”
“There was some actual talking last night and I wanted to know how you’d feel about visiting Rýkr this weekend?”
Her smile still on her face, she said, “Don’t be embarrassed. Even if you hadn’t already told me what happened, the storm hit all the way to the movie theater, Neve.”
I laughed. “You’re not funny.”
As soon as my sister had gotten home after school, I had dragged her up to my room and had spilled my sexual guts. Though I had kept the details out of the retelling, I had been open about my feelings and the overwhelming loss of control where Easton had been concerned. Of course, she understood completely after having been with Griffin, but I was still a little bit dazed by the entire ordeal.
Avalon let out a small laugh. “I’m just happy for you, Neve,” she replied. “I know this thing has been harder on you than it’s been on me, and I’m just happy you’ve found something in Easton that makes the turmoil not feel as…unbalancing.”
“Thank you,” I told her, grateful to have her for my sister. “And that’s the thing. Easton thinks confronting his parents for answers is the way to go. He’s already told me everything he can and…I don’t know. I…it’s still not enough, you know?” I shook my head. “I need to know what my future is going to be if I decide to stay with Easton.”
Avalon’s brows shot up. “Decide? I thought you guys have already worked all that out?”
I winced. “That’s just it, though. If he has to go back to Rýkr, but I find that I won’t be able to live there near his parents, then what? And I won’t know that until I finally meet them.”
“Should we take Mom and Dad with us?”
I shook my head again. “I don’t think so,” I said. “Astra Keenstone has already proven to be unethical with his own sons, there’s no guarantee that he won’t use his manipulation abilities on Mom and Dad while we’re there. He could manipulate them into siding with him and we’d never know.”
“How about if they go with us, but just not go with us when we meet Astra and Calliope,” she suggested. “They can stay behind at whichever hotel we stay in.”
“That’s not a bad idea,” I muttered.
“I want to make this as painless as possible for them and leaving them behind while we seek out a world that we know nothing about is not paving the way for their peace of mind,” she continued. “And a couple of miles away is better than four hours away.”
While this entire ordeal has sucked for me and Avalon, she was right about our parents. Even as accepting as they have been trying to be about our new circumstances, this couldn’t be easy on them. These two strangers have swept into their lives and have laid claim to their only children, and the powerlessness to stop them had to feel heavy on their shoulders.
“So, how about we all sit down together tomorrow after school and talk about it?” I suggested. “Me, you, Mom, Dad, Griffin, and Easton.” Avalon nodded, but didn’t say anything for a long time. We kind of just sat next to each other, the both of us deep in thought.
Finally, she said, “I wonder what the expectation is.”
“What do you mean?”
“Does anyone go to college in that town? Do they work outside of Rýkr?” she posed. “I mean, the town has to have doctors and lawyers and people like that, right?” Her face was strewn tight in thought. “The town has to interact with the surrounding towns and properties. It had to interact with the governing panel of California, right? Then there were the teachers and business owners and…well, so I’m just wondering, do you have to live in Rýkr or do its people choose to live there because they’re free to use their powers there. Do they live there because they feel safe?” She cocked her head at me. “Unlike us, they’ve been raised to use their powers freely. We’ve been raised to hide ours, Neve. We have no problem living outside of Rýkr because that’s all we know.”
She had a point. Of course, there was only one person who could answer all these questions for us.
Unfortunately.
“Well, we’ll be finding out soon enough,” I replied, the list of question in my mind getting longer.
Chapter 17
Easton~
“You want to take the girls to Rýkr this weekend?” Griffin, Severus, and I were all sitting at the kitchen table, empty dinner plates all around us, as Severus asked this.
“They have questions that Easton and I can’t answer, and they deserve answers,” Griffin replied simply.
Severus shot him a reprimanding look. “I am not disagreeing with you, Griffin,” he said sternly. “The young ladies are entitled to a better understanding of their situation, there’s no doubt about that.”
“Then why the dour look?” I asked.
“I’m just wondering if a trip to Rýkr might be too much, too soon,” he said. “They’ve only just accepted you boys. Meeting your parents might be a bit…”
“Traumatizing?” Griff filled in.
“Detrimental?” I added.
“Pointless?” Griff threw in.
“Upset-”
“You’ve made your point,” Severus drawled out.
“Look, the girls are pissed,” I started. “And I, for one, do not want to be the constant target of Neve’s anger, no matter how much she has a right to be angry.” I leaned back in my chair. “Now that she’s no longer telling me to go eat a dick, I’d like to keep her happy with me.”
“Same here,” Griffin chimed in. “Though Avalon wasn’t telling me to go eat a dick, her blind faith in me deserves something. She’s accepted this situation more gracefully than most people would. If she needs to confront Astra for being an asshole, then I support that.”
“And what of their parents?” Severus asked. “What if they want to go to Rýkr with you?”
I shrugged. “Then we take two cars,” I replied easily. “They deserve answers, too.”
No one said anything for a few seconds before I noticed my brother’s narrowing his eyes at Severus. Suddenly, tension hit the back of my neck. Normally, I was just as astute as my brother, but lack of sleep and overexertion had me wishing I could just sleep the rest of this day away.
Not that I was complaining.
Last night had been the greatest night of my life. After Neve and I had recovered from our first round, we’d taken a hot shower together, and with Neve on her knees before me, it had been the best shower of my life. However, regret had slammed hard in my chest when we had finished showering. Though the experience had felt different because I was bonded to Neve, I hated how she hadn’t been my first. I hated how I had let my rage and resentment steal another first from us. Now my past felt dirty, and though there was nothing I could do about it, I needed to make sure my presen
t and future with Neve were everything they should be, and that included letting her confront Astra.
Plus, there was the stupid part of my brain that kept reminding me that I also hadn’t been Neve’s first in a few things. When I had finally gotten her naked with my hands on her tits, she had moaned how she liked her nipples pinched and I had almost come unglued. For her to know that about herself could only mean one thing; someone had made her experience the difference. It had been a bitter pill to swallow. Truth be told, it still was.
My lips were not the first to kiss her.
My hands were not the first to touch her.
My tongue was not the first to taste her.
I wasn’t the first and only guy she’s ever wanted.
My fucked-up choices had been made out of pure revenge and fury. Attraction and want had nothing to do with what I’d done with all those other girls. They’d all been an outlet for my anger. They’d all been a proverbial middle finger to my father. There’d been no place for affection or respect in anything that I’d done with any girl before Neve.
However, that wasn’t the case with Neve.
Neve didn’t have rage or resentment fueling her desire for the guys in her life before me. If she kissed a guy, it had been because she had wanted to. If she touched a guy, it had been because she had wanted to. If she let a guy touch her, it had been because she had wanted him to. Neve had desired other guys before me, and if I let it, that realization could easily steer me down a dark path.
Did that make me a hypocrite?
I wasn’t sure.
I wasn’t sure of any-fucking-thing when it came to that girl.
The only thing I was certain of was that I needed her with me, and I wanted her happy.
“What aren’t you telling us, Severus,” Griff finally asked him. “Why are you so hesitant about this?”
Severus didn’t say anything for what I deemed too long. However, before I could call him on it, he finally answered Griff’s question. “As you boys already know, I am obligated to report to your father,” he said, something we did both know. “Since the day you were born to this moment here, my duty has always been to rear you. However, my obligation has always been to your father.”
