Fueling Fire: Elven Mage Academy, page 27
“Sure.”
“Umm alone,” Alec hints, the guys all nod and wave before heading off.
I watch them leave, waving goodbye to each of them before turning back to Alec.
“What’s up?” I ask.
He walks back over to the log we were sitting on before and waves me over. I hesitate for a second before walking over, I mean I already fell asleep in his lap. It’s not like being alone with him is a bad thing. They will be a part of my life for a long time, might as well get used to being around them.
He pulls me onto his lap sideways so that he can look at me and the look in his eyes has my heart racing and my palms sweaty. Instead of getting up like I should I stay in his lap, enjoying how right it feels to do so.
“I just wanted to tell you how beautiful you are and to tell you that I’ve fallen for you, hard.”
My throat clogs up with emotion and tears spill down my cheeks.
Gently, he wipes the tears from my face and hugs me to his chest, placing a soft kiss on top of my head. My heart melts at his sweet actions and causes more tears to fall. When I compose myself, I pull away and he lets go. Looking him in the eyes, I take a deep breath and with a shaky voice reply.
“Alec … you … you know I can’t be with you,” his face falls and my heart breaks. “But I’ve fallen for you too. All of you,” I whisper, letting my chin fall to my chest in defeat.
How could I be so cruel stringing them alone? Why did I tell him I like him? I mean I do but it’s cruel when we can’t be together. I should be telling him I don’t like him that I could never like him. That would be a lie and I can’t lie to him, even if I wanted to.
A warm finger pushes my chin up, and I’m forced to look into his eyes. I expect to see sadness or anger but all I see is love, and more tears pour down my face. He leans in and gently kisses my lips. Without thought, I wrap my arms around the back of his neck, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss. The barrier between us is broken, and I can’t find the will to stop. I don’t want to stop. I want him, right here right now. It may be the one and only chance I have, and I’m sick of doing what’s expected of me. I will go back to that later, right now I need to be selfish and I need Alec.
I break the kiss and lean my head against his forehead. He leans in to claim my lips again, but I pull away and his face falls. Lifting his chin, I make him look me in the eyes, so he knows I’m being serious.
“I need you Alec. I can’t keep fighting it.”
His eyes widen when he catches on to what I’m saying. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, A. Even if we can only be together this once. At least I can enjoy my first time with someone I actually want to be with.” Instead of replying he captures my lips in a fierce kiss that deepens as we both let go of that last barrier, his fingers digging into my sides and turning me on more.
He traces the seam of my lips, the sensation making me gasp and giving him entrance and his tongue delves past my lips to dance with mine. His arms encircle my waist as he pulls me closer, but the weird sidewards angle makes it feel odd. I stand up and a look of guilt and rejection mars his face. I quickly grab his shoulders to stop him from getting up. His brows dip in confusion until I straddle his hips and understanding lights up his face, followed by a blush.
“Sorry, I thought you were going to push me away again.” His head turns away and guilt fills me.
Grabbing his face in my hands I make him turn back and look deep into his eyes. I get distracted momentarily as I watch the flames in his eyes dance as though caught up in their own music. Clearing my throat, I remind myself to concentrate, I can’t fuck this up again.
“I’m sorry I pushed you away. I was scared.”
“Scared of what?”
“How you made me feel.” This time I'm the one to turn away, tears brimming in my eyes before I take a deep breath and look back at him, “My whole life all I’ve ever had to worry about is being the perfect princess. I learned to shut my emotions away. I was prepared to do my duty and suffer quietly for my people. Then you show up and for the first time all I can do is feel. It made being engaged to that arrogant prince harder, knowing that you would always be around, but never being able to be with you. You made me feel. At first it was anger because you're an ass,” I say, earning a snort and his signature smirk.
“You showed up and turned my life upside down princess.” His hands tighten on my hips. “I had everything all planned out, and it was within reach. I just had to finish this year and I’d be free. Free to take my sister and build a happy life for us. Then you showed up and threw all that careful planning out the window.” He chuckles, and I smile in turn. Cupping my face, he continues, “When you walked into me that first day I knew there was something there, I felt it, but then you looked up and I realised you were an elf. You were off bounds, to then have you bond with me and find out you were the princess of Fardorwen. Being around you brought out emotions in me I thought I had given up on years ago. You made me vulnerable and I never wanted to be vulnerable again.” He gently moves a loose piece of hair behind my ear, the gesture making my heart flutter.
We stare deep into each other's eyes, having just bared our souls. At the same time, we reach for one another, coming together in a rush of heated emotion. Our lips, and the kiss, are urgent and demanding. My thoughts scramble as a flood of desire fills my body and I grab at his shoulders, needing him closer. His arms tighten around my waist in response holding me closer to his chest. Our breathing becomes laboured as we let out all our pent-up frustrations. He reaches his hands under my ass and stands up, the sudden movement making my wrap my arms around his neck for a better grip.
Gently he lays me down on the sand, positioning himself above me. He leans on his elbows keeping most of his weight off me. I’m impressed that he did that so effortlessly without breaking the kiss. He’s not a virgin. He’s done this before. That little inner voice reminds me, and I have to shove it aside before it can plant seeds of doubt in my head about what I’m about to do with Alec.
He grinds his groin against me, and I can feel how hard his is. The thought of him being that hard over me only serves to turn me on further. My body is heating up, like a fire building inside of me. I wonder if this is normal or if it has something to do with his power. He grinds against me again and my thoughts fly out the window as they are consumed with the feelings, he is stirring in me.
He breaks the kiss, trailing light pecks along my throat, that send shivers of delight down my spine. Goosebumps erupt all over my arms, and a soft moan slips past my lips. Leaning to one side he runs a hand down my body, grazing the side of my boob and sending tingling sensations between my legs. His hand continues to the bottom of my dress, sliding up under it and up to the top of my thigh. My breathing hitches as his hand traces along the bottom of my stomach along the seam of my bikini bottoms. I hiccup, my breath getting caught in my throat.
Sitting up he pulls me to a seated position and in one swift movement removes my dress, leaving me in nothing but my bikini. The cool night air makes me shiver, but I quickly forget all about the weather as he captures my lips once more. His hands make small patterns on my skin sending more electric shocks through me as they move closer to the tie at the back. With a quick tug he releases the tie and I wrap my arms around myself out of instinct. He stops, sitting back and looking at me, his face scrunched up in concern. He rubs his hands up and down my shoulders in a comforting gesture.
“You alright, princess? We can stop.”
“No, it's just.” I blush, turning my head away.
He grabs my chin and forces me to look back at him, “You can say no, and we’ll stop. I understand if you're not ready.”
“It’s not that, it's … What if you don't like, well, me.” I squeak the last bit as fear of rejection closes my throat.
“Impossible,” he states confidently, “you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.”
I smile up at him shyly, feeling more confident. Nodding I loosen my arms and the bikini top falls away. He groans quietly and his eyes dilate, a look of lust sweeping over his face. Before I can question his interest in me further, he sweeps down, taking a nipple in his mouth and I moan—a long breathy sound—as it sets off new sensations throughout my body. I tremble under his ministrations and I feel a pull down between my legs. His hand comes up to roll my other nipple and I throw my head back in pleasure. Oh, gods if this is what he can do with my nipples I can’t wait to see what else he can do. Oh, gods it feels amazing.
All too soon he stops, and I grumble, making him chuckle.
“As much as I would like to take my time teasing you princess, I also don’t want someone to come looking for us. I promise I’ll make it up to you next time.”
“A, you know there can’t be a next ti … oh,” I moan, losing my train of thought as he latches back onto my nipple, distracting me.
Pushing gently on my shoulders he lays me back on the ground as he moves his kisses lower. Following the curve of my breast then down my side. Each kiss sends shocks of electricity down to my core and I feel a warm wet sensation building as an ache grows between my legs. If he doesn’t touch me there soon, I might die. He reaches the top of my swimmers and stops. I groan in frustration and I feel the puff of breath from his silent laugh. Asshole.
His hands run up the outside of thighs until he reaches the top of my bikini bottoms and slowly, inch by agonising inch pulls them down until I lie naked below him. The cold air makes me shiver and instinct makes me want to cover up, but I don't. Looking up at Alec I see nothing but desire and lust in his eyes as he takes in my body.
“Gods you’re beautiful,” he says in a hushed voice as though thinking aloud.
My heart flutters at his compliment making me feel all warm and mushy inside. He reaches up a hand and trails it down from my breast to just inches from where I need him to touch. My hips buck in protest trying to get him to move just a little bit lower and his lips twitch with a smile.
“Alec,” I grouch, ready to chew him out.
“Shhh, I’m savouring you princess. Searing every inch of your body to memory.”
I shiver as his voice drops a few octaves sounding all gravely. Oh, gods what his voice does to me.
His hands trail up and down my inner thighs, driving me crazy with lust. Just as I’m about to scream at him or leave, he leans forward and takes my clit into his mouth. I moan as the fire low in my body builds at the touch. One hand trails down my inner thigh until he pushes a finger into me. I almost come apart at the edges right away.
My hands fist in his hair and I feel him smile against me. Arrogant ass. He flicks his tongue over my bud, and I see stars. Fuck!
“Oh gods yes,” I cry out.
He chuckles and I swat at his head.
He nips me and I fall over the edge crying out his name as I do. He continues to suck, lap and nip at my clit drawing out my pleasure as it pulses through me, wave after wave of pleasure. It feels like my orgasm goes on forever and he doesn't relent, not even when I try to pull his head up.
Coming back down from ecstasy, my breathing is heavy as I suck in some much-needed oxygen into my lungs. His head pops up from between my legs, lips gleaming with a huge satisfied grin plastered on his face. He looks so damn adorable, smug, but adorable. My heart pitter patters at the sight.
Grabbing his face, I tug gently, urge him up my body and he comes willingly. When his face is in line with my own, I claim his lips, kissing him with everything I feel.
“I need you, now Alec,” I tell him breathlessly and he smirks, making me want to slap him—but after what he just did, I’ll let him off the hook. Just this once. But I swear to the gods if he doesn’t take off his pants and take me right now, I will find a way to make him pay. The fire in my stomach is building again this time stronger than before. I need more. I need him. Nothing else will satisfy the burn.
He continues to pepper kisses down my throat, rubbing against me and making the ache between my legs burn hotter.
“Alec,” I warn.
Ignoring my tone, he continues to tease me, making no efforts to fill my needs. Frustrated, I channel some fire into my hands and burn him. He pulls back to look at me, his eyes dancing mischievously.
“Did you just burn me, princess?” his voice rumbles.
“You’re being a tease.” I pout.
“I’m drawing it out. Savouring you.”
“Well could you savour me another time? I’m going to combust,” I say, making him laugh.
Shaking his head at me and grinning like a loon, he leans forward to capture my lips once more. Thankfully he takes the hint though and within moments he skilfully removes his pants without breaking the kiss, leaving nothing between us. My heart rate spikes at the realisation this is really about to happen. With him.
“Shit A, protection.”
He chuckles, “I got you, princess,” he says. Reaching over, he pulls a condom out of his wallet.
“You just had that on you?” I ask, with an eyebrow raised sceptically.
Had he planned this? Should I stop? What if this isn’t right?
He rubs his thumb over the crease between my eyebrows, “It’s not like that. I always have one. I didn’t plan it. I promise.”
I stare up at him and feel the tightness in my chest release as I see the sincerity in his eyes.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. You didn’t do anything wrong. Did you want to stop?” he asks, trying and failing to hide the disappointment in his voice.
Smiling up at him I shake my head, “No. Don’t you dare! I just had a moment of panic.”
Way to ruin the mood Lil. I look up to find him staring again. I open my mouth to ask what he’s staring for, but he captures my lips in a searing kiss that melts all my fears away. In no time the fire in my belly is blazing again and I’m panting.
He quickly works me back up, reaching between us to rub my clit in painfully slow circles that build the fire between my legs higher. I’m pretty sure I forgot how to breathe as he pulls breathy moans and hiccupping sounds from my throat. I feel his cock harden against my thigh, so close to where I want it but still too far away. I begin to wriggle under him in frustration, but he refuses to give in. If he doesn't take me soon, I swear to the gods I will burn his dick next.
With another swipe of his fingers I fall over the edge for a second time losing all thoughts about punishing him. After a few moments I feel a slight pressure at the entrance of my vagina, followed by a feeling of fullness that pushes me over the edge and straight into my third orgasm.
“Fuck!” He groans, holding himself still inside me, gripping my hips in a bruising grip, “Gods babe you feel so good.”
A mewl of agreement leaves my throat, unable to form the sounds required for speech. When he doesn’t move, I wiggle beneath him in encouragement, clawing at his back. He chuckles but still refuses to move. Why won’t he move damn it! I send a warning jolt of fire down his stomach towards his dick and feel it twitch inside me making me moan with him.
“Princess, give me a second or this is going to be over sooner than either of us wants.”
I still beneath him, blushing, “Oh.”
He pulls out and I panic thinking I've done something wrong when he slams back in and I shudder as the sensation sends ripples of pleasure outwards. Why did I ever wait so long to have sex? Fuck this feels ahhh.
“Oh gods Alec, I’m going to cum again,” I cry out and he slams into me over and over his speed increasing.
I claw at his back as the fire in my belly grows, building to what I now know will result in an orgasm. How I was going to return to normal after this is beyond me. Before I can think about it any further, he slams into me and pushes me right off the edge into my most intense orgasm yet. Crying out I dig my fingernails into his back. He releases a deep throaty groan that sends thrills through me. After three more short sharp thrusts he stills, sweeping down to capture my lips in an intense kiss before rolling off to the side.
He throws an arm up over his eyes as he lies there naked and breathing heavily. I turn to my side and resting my head on my hand I trail my eyes down his naked form enjoying my unobstructed view.
“Are you checking me out?” he asks, making my eyes snap back up to his.
I blush at having been busted so openly gawking at his naked body.
Reaching up he runs his hands along my cheek gently as we lay there naked.
“You're beautiful.” He whispers and my heart melts.
I smile up at him “You're not too bad yourself.” I tease.
A cold breeze stirs up goose bumps over my naked body and Alec shifts. Getting up he grabs my clothes and passes them to me. I sigh, knowing our little moment of peace is over but storing it in my memories for the future. We dress in silence and I fear that he will go back to how he was before now that we have slept together.
He grabs me by the waist and pulls me flush against him as he kisses me softly. My fears ebb as my heart soars.
“Come on, we better get back before they send out a search party for us.” He jokes and I nod.
He holds out his hand, and I take it, smiling as we race back towards the academy.
Chapter Thirty-Two
Lilliana
Laughing, we break through the last line of the trees and into the back field of the academy. The once pitch-black field is lit up like its game night and there are teachers hurrying around everywhere. What the hell is going on? Did we all get busted sneaking out? I thought this was allowed. Panic fills me at the thought of being kicked out for a little night of fun.
Alec grabs my hand and we dart across the field and into the safety of the nearest building. Miraculously, we manage to make it across the small distance without being caught, and I let out a breath of relief. Back plastered to the wall to stay hidden in the shadows, we shuffle along the length of the building towards the opposite corner and away from the lit-up field.
Coming around the corner we run face first into the principal. I cringe and wait for the verbal lashing I am expecting from being busted out this late at night. Instead, I am shocked when she grabs me in a rib crushing hug.
