Lyra's POV The silence between us was suffocating. It coiled around me like a noose around my neck, and I knew it wouldn't be long before it finally tightened its hold on me. I tried, I tried to think of something, but deep down, I knew there was really nothing I could do to wave off the tension that now sat in between us. I was bad at telling jokes,but it probably wouldn't matter if the frown on Xavier’s face meant anything. His words still rang in my ears, and somehow it was more dangerous than when he'd originally said it. don’t ever ask me toI'll be damned if I have to crawl back to him just to please the council. That sounded like threat if I'd ever heard one, and I laid stiff against the pillows, trying to will my heartbeat to slow down. It was useless though, and maybe fate was trying to stop my efforts from being futile because the last thing I expected happened out of the blue. A knock came just immediately , and I flinched. It was sharp, deliberate, and before I c
Lyra's POV A small sigh slid past my lips, and I found myself digging my body deeper into the sheets. My body ached in places I didn’t even know could ache,with every muscle of mine humming in exhaustion, every nerve still raw and buzzing. I lay tangled in the sheets, slick with sweat, sore and utterly spent, but instead of peace, my mind wouldn’t stop racing.Yes, I was thinking about what had just gone down and the many rounds, but no matter how exhilarating it all was, I just couldn't shake off the fact that there was something else. Something more serious than I liked to admit. If pleasure alone could fix the mess I was in, I’d already be free. Heck, I would be the happiest woman on earth and I wouldn't even mind another round to celebrate. But as sweet and exhilarating as it sounded, the truth remained the same; it couldn’t. No matter how much I let him claim me, no matter how many times I broke under him, the council’s demand still loomed like a blade over my neck.Fix the
Lyra's POV I wasn't sure how much time had passed between us, but one thing was sure, no amount of time could actually be enough for me to fully catch my breath. I tried to get a grip on myself, but time and time again I found my mind drifting back to a couple of hours ago. If I wasn't the one who had my pussy plowed and fucked endlessly, then best believe I wouldn't have almost believed it. My pussy was throbbing, my skin buzzed and I hated that all of those were signs that I would jump at a chance to fuck Xavier again, and all he had to do was take the fucking lead. My body was still trembling, sprawled boneless across his chest, slick with sweat. My cheek was pressed against the heat of his skin, and if I listened closely, I was sure I would be ablr to hesr his heartbeat. My thighs quivered, overstimulated and sore, but just when I thought I was finally going to get some sleep and recover, Xavier interrupted it. Xavier was as spontaneous as they came, but even I didn't expe
Lyra’s POV Time seemed to slow to a halt, but his words still echoed in my mind. I tried to shake it off, but no matter how hard I tried, it felt like it had imprinted in the back of my mind. “This is just the beginning”Hell, if someone else had told me that, then best believe I would have taken that as a threat to my life and nothing more. I wasn't sure I actually believed the saying that words really mattered, just as much as the context they were said I'm, but right now, I believed it . Xavier had promised me something more than what I'd just given and best believe I was looking forward to it like my life fucking depended on it. He held my gaze after that, even if it was just a second, but I saw all the way and desire in the world I never thought was possible for one human, and the moment his mouth claimed mine again, I knew he wasn’t lying.He kisses me again, and I didn't bother toning down my moan the moment his pulled my bottom lip in between his teeth. The bite stung,
Lyra's POV His mouth was still on mine when I felt it, that subtle pause, the breath he took before pulling away. My lips tingled, still bruised from the kiss and all the others, but the sudden distance stung sharper than any bite.“Oh.” My eyes flew open, catching the shadow of hesitation in his gaze. I parted my lips to speak, but no matter how hard I tried, it felt like the words were stuck at the base of my throat. I knew this was the part where I kept quiet, and probably played it off as nothing, but before I could stop myself, the words slipped out, soft but unyielding.“Okay.” I shook my head slowly. “It's okay.” “What’s wrong, Lyra?” he asked, his voice rough, almost wary. “Is everything okay? You can talk to me, you know…” “I didn’t want you to stop,” I whispered, my chest rising too fast, my heart pounding against my ribs like it wanted out. I wasn't sure I'd been this shy in front of him before, but today's level was almost too much, even for me. “I wanted you to…”
Lyra’s POV The room smelled of sweat, sex, and silence, a combination I never knew I could hate. I wouldn't exactly say hate was the right word, but it didn't diminish the fact that there was still a hint of truth in it as well. When Xavier has his dick inside me and was fucking me like that was his last moment on earth, I didn't think about what was going to happen next. He'd barged in here accusing me, and demanding for answers, but what did he get instead? A chance to fuck me recklessly. I wasn't complaining, don't get me wrong. If anything, I wanted it again. Maybe it was the mirror, or the anger in his thrusts, whatever it was, it was intoxicating, and I couldn't help the way my thighs clenched together at the mere thought of what had gone down a couple of hours ago.If I was being honest, there was no way I could forget what had happened. The mirror was more than enough of a reminder, and somehow, it sent shivers down my spine. I guess neither of us thought about the afte
