Maudlin's Mayhem (Bewitching Bedlam #2)(18)

“Now, the skirt.”

Reaching for the side zipper, I slowly lowered it, taking my time. Aegis grunted as I began to shimmy it down over my hips until my panties were showing. They were purple hip huggers, with a gold design embroidered on them. As the skirt dropped to the floor and I stepped out of it, I hooked my thumbs on both sides and began to lower them, as well.

“You’re so fucking gorgeous.” Aegis paused, slaking me with his gaze.

Feeling more naked than nude, I slid my hands down my hips, tilting my head to give him a coquettish look. “Like what you see?”

“Yes.” His voice was throaty.

“Want what you see?”

In answer, he slid his jeans down, and his cock popped up, erect and strong and hard. “Hard as a rock, and ready.” As he undressed, I debated on whether to play the come-and-catch-me game we played, but then decided I just wanted him. Now. Here. Without any subterfuge.

I crossed to the rug in front of the fireplace and knelt, sitting back on my knees. Aegis blurred for a second, and then, faster than I could see, he was behind me, holding me against his chest, his arms curling around me. I leaned back into his embrace, tilting my head to the side as he pressed his lips to my neck.

“You drank recently, right?” I didn’t want to break the mood, but the scent of my blood—and he could smell it right through my pores—was like ambrosia.

“Yes, when I woke. I had two bottles of blood. So, love, no worry. As much as I want to taste you, I can control myself,” he murmured into my ear. “Let me love you.”

As he cupped my breasts, I relaxed into his embrace, closing my eyes as he fingered my nipples, squeezing gently, twirling them with two fingers. His cock was hard, pressed against my back, and my own desire heightened, my sex throbbing for his touch.

“Lean forward on your hands and knees,” he whispered.

I obeyed, leaning forward. He let go of me and turned, lying on his back as he slid between my legs. He reached up, took hold of my hips with both hands, and brought me down onto his face, slowly positioning me until his tongue massaged my clit. As he began to suck, I let out a soft moan, undulating against the feel of his tongue against me, of his hands on my skin. The tension built quickly, making me dizzy. I tried to catch my breath and couldn’t, and then—abruptly and without warning—a ripple began to swallow me up. Startled, I yelled out his name as I came, hard.

“Already? You really were hungry, weren’t you?” He laughed, pulling me down to lie on top of him. His cock pressed hard against my belly and I ached, wanting him inside me. Oh, great mother of all that was sexy, I wanted him deep inside.

“I want you. All of you,” I said with a ragged pant. “Come inside?”

Aegis lifted my hips. “Climb aboard, babe.”

I slid down his cock, enfolding him with my pussy. I was wet—so wet that I felt like I was dripping, and his girth slid neatly inside, widening me, stretching me with one good hard thrust that pierced my core, forcing my lower lips apart.

“Ride me, babe. Ride me hard,” he said, his eyes flashing with crimson rings around their deep brown.

I began to rock, then leaned forward so that I could balance my hands against the floor to either side of his chest. I swiveled, every nuance of his shaft exploring my inner core. He began to thrust, holding my waist tight as he pumped deeper into me. After a moment, the room was silent, heavy with only the sound of our breathing. Aegis flipped me over, driving himself between my legs, thrusting so hard that it felt like he was penetrating every fiber of my body. He bent down, catching one nipple between his teeth, and sucked hard. The sensation rippled through me from my breast down to my cunt, exploding as he lowered one hand between my legs, and tweaked my clit again.

“You like this? You like me in you?” His voice hung heavy with lust, like grapes on a vine that were almost ready to burst.

I nodded, my teeth chattering. I couldn’t speak, I was so caught in the web of passion we were building between us. All I could do was wrap my arms around him, moaning his name in little sighs, each one a little higher than before. In turn, he drove himself faster, letting out a series of grunts, whispering my name as I spiraled, caught by the vortex of hunger that was building around me. And then—I could stand it no longer. I quit resisting and let out a stifled scream as I tumbled into the orgasm again, coming so hard my lips tingled.

Aegis stiffened between my legs, holding me taut, a guttural cry lodged in his throat. A moment, and he thrust a few more times and then, he relaxed in my arms and draped forward against me.

I slid my arms around him as the sex haze tumbled around us, pulling us into a whirl of love and satiation and the rain of rose petals that fell gently around us, thanks to my magic.





WE SHOWERED TOGETHER and dressed, and Aegis left for rehearsal shortly after. I petted Bubba, who was awake but still lying on the bed. “Dude, you need to get better. I love you, you crusty old cjinn. Quit scaring me.”

A knock sounded at my bedroom door and I answered. It was Thornton.

“I’m sorry to bother you, Maddy, but Snow wants to know if you have any booze in the house.” He gave me one of those “I can’t believe I have to ask this” looks.

I frowned. Snow might be paying well, but she wasn’t getting my stash. “Tell her no. If she wants liquor she can go to a nightclub or bar or the store.” I opened the door a little wider. “If you want, I’ll go tell her. In fact, it’s only nine-thirty. I think I’m going to go give Ralph a talking-to.”
