An aftershock wracked my body, and I stiffened.

“Look at my cock inside you,” he snarled. I was too weak to move, too supine. He gripped my hair stiffly and forced my head up. “Now.”

I groaned and tucked my chin closer to my chest. He held me higher, my midsection raised up. A visible bulge expanded below my belly button.

He withdrew and slammed back into me, making me watch the retreat of his cock. All without releasing the punishing hold in my hair. Why did that make me so excruciatingly wet? His commanding fucking fired through every nerve ending. I couldn’t get enough.

The sight of his retreating shaft shot me into another release, and I squeezed my eyes shut, fireworks exploding behind them. I whimpered, my hands falling limp as he released my hair, the tips of his claws grazing against my scalp.

He pulled out of my sex, so suddenly that I gasped, my eyes peeling wide. He gripped his shaft, the long member jutted, and warmth spread across my sex. The clawed hand slid down his wet shaft, and he groaned, more release spraying over my stomach. The seed was milky and hot.

He bowed his head forward, and a guttural groan ripped through the cavern.

“I will coat you in my seed.” His wings fluttering behind him. “Mine,” he snarled. Another jet of cum spurted across my flesh.

The magnificent monster hovering over me had fucked my brain up. I wanted this. Ineededthis. I rolled onto my knees,the tattered skirt falling around my thighs. I crawled forward, wrapping my lips around the tip of his cock.

His head fell forward, his long, feathery hair shrouding his face. I curved my tongue around the tip and gripped his shaft with one hand, fingertips not meeting.

He hissed out a low breath.

I ran my palm up the dip of the ring-like ridges and flicked my tongue against his narrow tip.

He pitched forward, his hand landing on my head, the tips of his sharp claws sliding along my scalp. The slight scratches lifted goose bumps along my body. I gasped, shivering.

He pushed my head down, cutting off my breath, and his hips thrust, shoving the tip of him against the back of my throat. I gagged, and his claws flexed in my hair. Cum exploded against the back of my throat, and I worked to swallow, my eyes watering. But I didn’t care, I wanted his grunts and hisses. They woke something deep and needy in my soul.

His release overflowed my mouth and trickled from the corner of my lips. I swallowed what hadn’t escaped, the earthy taste of him warming my stomach. I withdrew my lips from around him and released the bottom half of his shaft, which was too long to put in my mouth.

Corvus dropped to his hands and knees. Even on all fours, it was frightening how large he was. He leaned forward and ran his long, pointed tongue against the side of my lips. The rough texture collected the cum painting my chin, and then, just as easily as he lowered, he stood to his full height, flaring his wings outward.

Shadows wound around my arms and pulled me to my feet. As soon as I put weight on it, pain assaulted my leg. I lifted that foot to my toes and bent down to move my skirt aside. A gash had dripped down my ankle and pooled in the edge of my sneaker. At least, the line of blood had dried, and the wound wasno longer dripping. Now that I wasn’t enveloped in a lusty haze, the sting was obvious.

Corvus suddenly plucked my foot from the floor, stretching my leg up so high I lost my balance. I gasped, my arms windmilling in my fall backward. He seemed so invested in my wound that he wasn’t paying attention. I clenched my eyelids shut and braced for impact, but before I smacked on the straw-covered floor, tendrils caught me.

“What did this?” he hissed.

I stopped thrashing against his stiff grip. He loomed, holding my ankle, while I panted, a few feet off the ground. The shadows had caught me. I experimentally tugged at my foot.

“The husk who grabbed me before I jumped must have cut me.”

“Who is ‘husk’?” he bellowed. It echoed off the walls of the cave. “I will make their death long and painful. Where is the creature?” He seemed visibly ticked off, and it was shocking to say the least.

“Why are you angry?You’vehurt me.”

His head cocked, those onyx eyes focused on me so intensely it made my stomach whirl with a mix of nerves and excitement.

“No one harms you but me.”

The silence after his announcement was deafening.

“That’s so comforting,” I mumbled, glaring. He didn’t give me a heads-up before he swept me into his arms, and with a wide stride, plunged us off the face of the cliff. I screamed, and my hair was sucked into my mouth. I sputtered, struggling to catch my breath. Just as suddenly, his wings arched wide and his arms dug into my belly with the abrupt swoop.

I had a clear view of the top of the trees as he flew toward the castle.

“There’s no sun.” I stared up at the gray sky. There was no specific origin of the light; it was just a blanket of gray. Hiscold arm pressed against my stomach, enhancing the hollow sensation of hunger as I suddenly realized I was starving. When we got back, I’d need to raid those pantries again.

I beat my wings,angling for the perch near my sleeping chamber, and pulled the fragile Little Mortal closer. As much as I did not want to extinguish her, I would not stop myself from feeding on her brilliant, pure soul on Novareth.
