Maya

At first, my eyes slammed shut in pain, feeling his sharp canines literally puncturing my flesh, but then, a moment later, the agony began to fade away. My heart thudded erratically against my chest, my body trembling as his mark began to seal—take place on my skin for eternity. It was at that moment I finally understood that the sensation was more than just pain; it was a profound blessing. It wasn’t solely about enduring agony as I had before—it was about finding peace in the literal connection of souls, where bodies melded into each other, and all defenses crumbled before that one person. 

God!

This had to be the best feeling in the world and I doubted anything else could ever beat this sensation.

I clung to him tighter as the mark finally sealed completely, an electric shock passing through our bodies, the sensation utterly breathtaking. I could feel the lingering imprints of Maximus and Leonardo fading from my skin. Though they had diminished significantly over the years, they had never fully disappeared. Yet now, as Nate's mark replaced theirs, I felt a sense of tranquillity knowing that I no longer bore the marks of Maximus and Leonardo. I was finally free from their shadows, their marks that hurt every time I looked at myself in the mirror.

Nate withdrew his canines, pulling away, but not before pressing a kiss to the new mark and soothing the wound with his tongue. I closed my eyes at the feeling and a shiver ran down my spine—it was beautiful—the feeling of being marked was far more beautiful than I’d imagined it to be. Absolutely fucking beautiful.

“There you go, Maya,” he said, a small smile playing on his lips. “You are officially mine.”

A smile spread across my lips as I pulled him closer, embracing him. Our chests pressed together, our bodies fitting perfectly against one another as I held him close, not wanting to let him go even for a single second or even a fraction of a second. The warmth of his embrace enveloped me, a sanctuary against the world's uncertainties.

Moments later, basking in the warmth of each other, Nate finally pulled away. His eyes traveled up and down my body, darkening to a deeper shade of grey, equally mesmerising as they were in their true color. I’d never not be ensnared by his eyes—they were too beautiful and mesmerizing. Just one glance at them and they could make you fall in love with them before you even know. 

“You ready, baby?” His voice was deep as he hooked his finger under my panty, gently pulling it down.

Holding my breath, I nodded, and he slid my panty all the way down, leaving me completely bare before his hungry eyes. I was soaking wet down there and I knew he could see it as much as I could feel it. My desires were on the edge. It was as if someone had set fire all over my body.

I watched as he looked at me in awe, his eyes tracing every path across my skin, not missing a spot. They lingered on my bare heat for the longest moment causing heat to rise to my cheeks.

“Nate….” I blushed, attempting to close my thighs together, but he stopped me by pushing his hands between my thighs, preventing me from hiding myself from his eyes. I felt vulnerable while laying all bare before his eyes, although even in the vulnerability, I found peace—Nate was the definition of peace for me.

“Don’t hide yourself from me, Maya…” His voice was a murmur as he leaned closer, his fingers tracing the contours of my face before descending to my breast, cupping it in his hand, eliciting a soft moan from my lips.

“You are perfect everywhere,” he whispered before kissing my lips. Slowly, he moved down, spreading my thighs as he lowered his mouth to my pussy, his gaze locked with mine. My breathing quickened, my body trembling as his warm breath caressed my wet heat.

“I am going to worship you,” he declared, his tongue meeting my pussy with one slow, sensual lick before his lips enveloped me fully. Pleasure burst through every cell of my body.

“Oh…” My body jerked, my eyes closing shut at the sudden sensation.

“You taste amazing, Maya,” he murmured, his words vibrating against my clit as he licked me again, this time with much more fervor.

My body shook, another moan slipping past my lips as I gripped his hair, “Nate!”

And then Nate delved deeper, his lips meeting my pussy with fierce urgency, his tongue working magic, licking and sucking me, leaving not a single spot untouched. He was ravishing me, not caring about anything else in the world much like I didn’t care as well.

“Oh, Nate!” I moaned, throwing my head backward as he focused on a certain spot, right above the sensitive nub, with the slightest bit of pressure.

“God! Keep saying my name like that, Maya. Keep doing it…” he growled, his tongue sliding between my folds. My back arched at the sensation, a gasp escaping my lips followed by his name once again, and I tightened my grip on his hair.

Nate continued his sweet torture, gripping onto my thighs and lifting them for better access as he devoured me like a wild animal.

My hips jerked, my walls clenching and unclenching around his tongue as he pleasured me, every movement pushing me closer to the edge.

“Nate…” I whimpered, my voice quivering, my body overwhelmed by the sensations coursing through me with every passing second.

“Come for me, baby,” He growled against my pussy, his tongue still dancing with fervor, his mouth moving in sorts of carnal motions from kissing to sucking and licking to biting, “Come all over my tongue.”

As if he held dominion over every fiber of my being, my body obeyed his command. The orgasm tore through me, and with a scream of his name, I shattered, surrendering to the ecstasy washing over me. He didn’t cease, even as I succumbed to the release; instead, he persisted, propelling me toward another mind-blowing climax.

Nate licked me clean, savoring every drop I had offered.

When he came up to seal my lips under a kiss, the taste of my own release lingering, I kissed him back, surrendering all of myself to him. His tongue slid into my mouth, kissing me deeply.

Breaking the kiss, Nate gazed at me, desire brimming in his eyes. “Do you want to continue? We can stop right now if you don’t want to.”

God, my heart…

This man was going to be the death of me someday.

“I don’t want you to stop, Nate,” I whispered against his lips, sliding my hands around his neck. “I don’t ever want you to stop.”

“Then I won’t stop…” He murmured, his voice heavy with promise. “This whole night is yours. Only yours.”
