Heir of Night (The Thorne Hill)

“Put your fingers here,” he tells me, moving my hand to where he bit me. With my heart beating fast like this, the wound takes a bit longer to heal. He licks the blood off his own fingers and undoes his pants, pulling them down and moving between my legs. My body is still humming with pleasure, and we’re far from done yet.

I bring my free hand down and wrap my fingers around his thick cock, pumping up and down, spreading the precum from the tip to the base. Lucas holds himself over me, forehead against mine as I work my hand, and then dives down, kissing me and pushing my hand away. The wet tip of his cock rubs against my clit. Already worked up, it sends another pulse of pleasure through me, and I know it won’t take much for me to come again.

Taking my hand off my neck, I conjure a small string of magic. It twists around my fingers, sparking with electricity. I zap it against Lucas’s chest, forcing him back. He lets out a guttural growl, staring me down with animalistic lust.

Shoving him back, I use magic to strip him of his shirt and then climb on top, taking hold of his cock with one hand and slowly lowering myself onto him. His big cock fills every inch of me, and Lucas holds onto my waist as I start moving my hips up and down. Letting my eyes fall shut, I take hold of one of his hands and put his fingers against my clit.

“Oh, fuck,” I moan, body shuddering as I come again. Lucas pushes me down on him, rocking his hip faster and faster. I lean forward, unable to completely bend to kiss him because my belly is in the way. He comes right after I do and then gently lays me down, pulling me into his arms.

I’m panting, heart racing, and still floating on bliss. I nuzzle my head against him, perfectly content in this moment. He rolls over and kisses me. I can still taste my blood on his lips, yet it doesn’t bother me. It makes me want to taste his blood again, and in the back of my mind, I know that’s wrong. Disgusting, even. Blood sharing is a thing between vampires, something I’ll never fully understand, and something I didn’t know vampires wanted humans to partake in until Lucas stabbed himself and told me to drink from him.

“So, I missed you.” I walk my fingers up Lucas’s firm chest.

“I missed you too, my love.” He props himself up on his elbow so he can look at me. We haven’t had a chance in a while to just lie here like this and be together. We don’t have the time now. I should really get dressed because I’m naked in the middle of Evander’s office. Holy shit. I’m naked in the middle of Evander’s office. Anyone could come in. I cast a silencing spell on the room, making it so no one could hear what was going on, but I didn’t cast any sort of spell to keep anyone out.

“Can you get my clothes?”

“You know I much prefer you naked.”

I grin. “I like you naked too, but we’re in at the Academy in the middle of a school day.”

“Buzz kill,” Lucas jokes and retrieves my clothes for me. We both get dressed, and Lucas pulls me into his lap, sitting on one of the chairs in front of Evander’s desk. “How are you doing?” he asks, and I know that he means it. He wants the good and the bad from me.

“Ruby said something that made me realize I don’t think I’ve been dealing well because I’m not dealing. It’s almost like…like I don’t have time to process things, because if I take the time to let it sink in, the next disaster is going to strike.”

“That makes sense,” he says, surprising me a bit. “You have to give yourself time to breathe.”

“It’s hard to breathe when I’m barely able to keep my head above water.”

“Callie.” He cups my face and turns my chin to his. “We had this talk. I’m a very good swimmer. And I can hold my breath for a very long time. Whenever you need to breathe, whenever you feel like you can’t get enough air, tell me.”

Tears spring to my eyes, and I nod, sliding one hand up Lucas’s arm. “I love you.”

“I love you more than you’ll ever know.”

I rest my head against his chest and sit with him in silence for a few minutes. “I have to tell everyone about the Horsemen. Eliza knows now. We had time to talk while I waited for the transfer to happen. She handled it better than I expected because she thinks I’m going to come up with a plan and swoop in to save the day.”
