HUNTER

“ I s this really appropriate?” Her breath hitched as my tongue lashed at her core.

Heat streaked down our matebond as the intensity of her pleasure flowed into me. My fingers bit into her thighs as I spread them apart.

“You’re my mate,” I growled before nipping at her clit and sending an orgasm searing through her until she was delirious. I loved feeling her ecstasy through the bond, and I loved her being up on my desk with her legs spread for me. Fates, I fucking missed her taste. “What’s inappropriate about this?”

“Well, maybe just the fact that this is supposed to be our session for counseling,” she replied in a scratchy rasp that made my cock even harder.

“That’s true, but…I don’t get a lot of alone time with you.” I pouted, standing up and unbuckling my pants, pulling out my dick and pumping it a couple of times.

It had been three weeks since this term started, and I’d been so busy that the only time I had with her was when we were sleeping.

“Are you really going to make me stop?” I spread precum over my tip with my thumb as I stepped between her legs.

Her eyes dropped to the motion, and she bit her lip. “Don’t you dare stop.”

“So, you’re okay if I do this?” I nudged the head of my cock against her soaking pussy and about lost my fucking mind. It had been too long since I’d buried myself into my mate.

“Fates, Hunter, yes ,” she moaned, opening her legs wider for me. “Of course it’s okay.”

“You sound as needy as I feel,” I moaned, pushing inside of her until I bottomed out. Her desire coated me entirely on the way in.

“Because I am,” she rasped.

“It’s been too damn long, starlight.” I grabbed her by the back of her head and leaned down to smother her with my lips. I moved inside of her, pulling out on a long stroke and thrusting sharply back inside where I belonged.

Her muscles clenched around me, pulling me deeper. The way she responded was almost too much to handle.

I pulled out slightly again and pushed even deeper inside her, loving the feel of her hot, soaking pussy wrapped around my cock.

“Ah!” she cried out against my lips as I bottomed out, hard.

I stopped moving. “You okay, starlight?” I searched her wide red eyes to make sure I hadn’t hurt her.

“No.”

Every fucking muscle in my body froze completely. “What did I do?”

“You stopped.” She pouted her plump red lips at me, and a glint of excitement flickered in her gaze.

Relief swept through me like a Fates-damned tidal wave, and I let out a heavy breath, shaking my head. “Don’t scare me like that.”

“Sorry.” She bit down on her lower lip, guilt flickering through the bond. “But I like it when you don’t treat me like you’re going to hurt me.”

“But I can hurt you.” My voice cracked a little.

She’d been hurt so much in her life. The last thing I wanted was to be another one to hurt her—even unintentionally.

“Maybe I enjoy it more when you’re a little rough.” She huffed. “Reed doesn’t hold back.”

My eyes widened. “He…doesn’t?”

That surprised me. Reed was as soft as they came. If she was telling me this, did that mean she wanted me to be rough?

“He doesn’t treat me like I’m made of glass.” She wiggled, and my cock throbbed inside of her. “You didn’t use to, but ever since I’ve been back from the cavern?—”

The bond lit up with honesty and desire, and I knew then what I needed to do.

I held her knees apart, spreading her wide, and glanced down at where I was inside of her. “You want me to let go?”

“Yes,” she begged. “Please.”

I leaned down and kissed her with everything I had, pouring all of my love and worry for her through our bond. I had to push away my fear of hurting her. She filled our bond with her own love and her wants as our tongues collided.

“You sure, starlight?” I growled against her mouth.

“You know I am,” she claimed breathlessly, and her desire in our bond only proved her words.

My hands left her knees and roamed all over soft skin. I grazed my fingers over her nipples, squeezing her perfect breasts and playing with them as I started to move again.

She cried out again, arching her back.

I reached between us with one hand and rubbed her clit as my other hand gripped her hip for support as I rocked into her harder. I slammed into her without control, feeling her tighten beautifully around me.

Our moans and cries filled my office, bouncing off the walls.

Her nails bit into my shoulders as she clutched onto me desperately. Over and over, I pushed into her with my entire length—giving her everything she wanted without holding back.

Her eyes fluttered shut as her head fell back.

She took everything I gave her—beautifully.

“You’re taking me so well, starlight.”

Her pussy clenched around me, and I skimmed my hands down until I was gripping her ass, fucking her with everything I had.

“I told you I could—Hunter!” she moaned.

My name on her tongue only pushed me over the edge along with her.

She really could take everything without breaking.

Of course she could—she was my fated mate.

The slick sounds of our bodies smacking against each other fueled me, and the bond surged with our combined ecstasy.

My balls tightened, and she rode out the waves of her climax as I came inside of her.

“Fates, Pandora…” I slowed my strokes until we were both absolutely spent. The bond buzzed with her pleasure, and I moaned. “I love you.”

“I love you,” she reached up and pulled my face to hers before kissing me again. “I love you so much.”

A knock rapped at the door, and we pulled back with wide eyes.

“Hurry,” she whispered.

“Shit.” I slid out of her, grabbed a small hand towel I kept in my drawer, and helped her clean up.

I tucked myself back in my pants as she pulled her clothes back on.

“Who is it?” she asked.

I shrugged as I helped her smooth down her hair. “I wasn’t expecting anyone, and your other mates have keys.”

“They do?” Her brows rose like she was surprised.

I nodded. “All of them. I gave them one after I gave you one.”

She launched herself at me, wrapping her arms around my neck again. “Thank you.”

“You’re my mate,” I said simply.

There was another knock, and she unwrapped herself from me and hurried over to sit on the sofa. As if any demon wouldn’t have been able to scent what we had just done on my desk.

I strolled over and opened the door, revealing a woman I’d never seen before. She had black hair that was pulled up into an elegant bun. She wore a black pants suit, and sported the emblem for the academy as a pin on her blazer.

“Sorry about the intrusion, Darkmore.” Her violet eyes twinkled with mischief as she looked past me toward Pandora. “I wanted to stop by all my staff and officially introduce myself to everyone. I apologize for the delay. It wasn’t easy digging the academy out of the trenches Blackthistle left it in.”

She must’ve been our new Headmistress.

“No problem at all. Please, come in.” I opened the door wider, and she strode in.

“I’m Clearwater, but I’d like the staff to be on a first name basis with me.” She smiled warmly at Pandora before turning back to me. “Call me Verity.”

“You can call me Hunter, then.” I shook her hand.

Pandora shot up off the sofa and ambled over with a look of awe on her face. “I’m sorry, Verity Clearwater?”

“That would be me.” She moved to shake Pandora’s hand as well. “I’m the new headmistress of this academy. You’re Pandora Gravesend, correct? Death’s daughter and Darkmore’s fated mate?”

“Yes.” Pandora nodded as if she were still in shock. “I’m sorry, but I’ve read Fate Hollow Academy so many times. You are who I think you are, aren’t you?”

Verity’s smile grew. “I am. Wren Clearwater’s my mom. My dad wrote that book about their lives during Kalista’s Second War.”

“Oh, wow.” My mate swayed a little on her feet, so I moved next to her and placed my hand on the small of her back for support.

Verity’s gaze flicked between us. “I have to offer to assign you a new counselor if you’re interested. Just due to the fact that you’re mates. Though, I completely understand if you’d rather stay with your assigned one.”

“I’d rather stay with Hunter,” Pandora rushed out.

“I assumed so.” She clasped her hands in front of her. “As you know, my mom was in a similar predicament with my dad when she attended Fate Hollow Academy.”

“Oh, I know,” she gushed, placing a hand on her cheek. “Um, actually, since you’re the headmistress, I did want to ask you something.”

I glanced at my mate, furrowing my brows. She’d never mentioned needing to speak to the headmistress before to me.

“Sure, what can I do for you?” Verity asked.

“I was wondering if I could get permission for my mate and I to build a cat sanctuary on campus?” She tucked her hair behind her ears with both hands, and her eyes twinkled with hope.

Ah, her and Skel had mentioned that to me. I’d told her I’d get them a meeting with the new headmistress, but it’d slipped my mind like most things lately.

Verity’s tinkering laugh filled the office. “Oh, what a wonderful idea! Do you have any ideas on where you’d place it?”

“We were hoping to place it where Occult Arch is.” Pandora wrung her hands together. “If that would be okay.”

She nodded. “Of course. Occult Arch serves no purpose as it is. Feel free to build a cat sanctuary where it is. I’d love to see cats around the campus, but I do need to go finish my introductions.”

“Thank you so much!” Pandora smiled. “It was great to meet you.”

“You two as well.” Verity gave us a knowing look. “Perhaps we should keep mandated sessions sex free, though.”

Pandora’s entire face flushed red, and she hid her face in her hands. “Yes ma’am.”

“Just call me Verity.” She giggled, waving at us as she made her way to the door. “I’m a succubus. I can feed off of whatever happened before I knocked. Anyway, excuse me.”

The door shut behind her, and Pandora melted into me.

“Oh, my Fates. I just met someone from my favorite book.” She fanned herself.

I chuckled, walking her back to the sofa and having her sit beside me. “Yes, you did, and you had the cat sanctuary approved. Great job, starlight.”

She smiled at me, and her happiness burned so bright that I was once again starstruck by my mate.

Pandora Gravesend truly was my starlight.
