CHAPTER 15

I woke up feeling well rested and well used. I smiled to myself and pushed my hips back into Aiden’s body.

He tightened his hold around my waist and met my thrust with one of his own.

“Morning,” he rasped, his voice sleepy from disuse.

“Good morning,” I replied, grinding back harder.

“You want me?” he asked, his hand questing between my legs and slipping over my folds to plunge into me. “Fuck, you’re so wet. What were you dreaming about, baby?”

“You,” I moaned as he circled my clit. “Slipping into me from behind and filling me up while I’m still asleep. You—yes, right there—played with me, flicking my clit while you were seated deep inside me, the twitching of my pussy getting you off until you filled me with your cum.”

He paused his motions to pull his cock down, pressing it between my thighs until it grazed my clit. “Open your legs, babe,” he said. “That sounds so hot. Did you wake up in your dream?”

I hooked my top leg around his thigh, opening for him to slide into me. “Not then. You rolled me onto my back and cleaned me up with your tongue until you were hard once more, and then you fucked me again, using my cunt to get yourself off.”

“You have the filthiest dreams,” Aiden groaned, returning to playing with my clit. “You feel good, but I like your participation.”

“Me too. But I also kinda like the idea of you needing me so badly that you don’t wait for me to wake up before you slide inside me. In real life, I can’t imagine not being woken up by you stretching me open.” I grabbed my breasts, pulling gently on my nipples. “Faster, please, Aiden.”

“It’s hard to get a good pace going in this position,” he grunted. “Hang on.”

He slid out for a brief moment, heaving himself up on one arm and hooking my leg over his shoulder. Then he was back inside me, hitting new depths that I was sure he hadn’t hit before.

“Fuck, yes,” he gasped. “Feel good for you?”

“So good! Don’t stop,” I whimpered. “You’re going to make me come.”

“Come for me. I’ll fuck you through it,” he ordered.

He was as good as his word, sending me soaring until I could barely breathe from the tension in my body.

“Aiden,” I begged.

“What do you want?”

“I want your knot,” I moaned, tossing my head back and forth on the pillow. “Claim me.”

Aiden roared his pleasure, shifting in the blink of an eye. His secondary cock speared into me, the precum oozing from the slit making my body tingle and come, hard.

He followed me over the edge, filling me with the pleasure-increasing cum that would ease the way for his primary cock and, more importantly, his knot.

His thrusts barely paused as he switched over, the secondary cock rubbing over my clit as he continued to pound into me, each inward pulse stretching and filling me.

I could feel his knot at my opening, begging for entrance. I pulled my knee to my chest, widening my stance to make more room for Aiden between my legs. “Please,” I whispered.

The fire demon above me stared deep into my eyes. “I will give you everything,” he replied fiercely, making my heart flutter.

He ducked his head, licking over the pulse point in my neck. “You want to be claimed?” he demanded, his breath hot on my ear. “Do you know what it is, to be claimed by a beast?”

“Yes, claim me,” I moaned.

We had roleplayed this before. I knew what he wanted, and it thrilled me to give him this fantasy.

“Bite me,” I ordered.

Aiden roared, almost deafening me, and thrust in at the same time as his teeth sliced into my flesh.

The combination of pleasure-pain from his knot slipping inside me at the same time as his teeth sent me over the edge of ecstasy, my body accepting him entirely.

When I came back to myself, Aiden was licking over my wound, still connected to me by his swollen knot. The tingles from my healing bite mark swept over me, arrowing straight to my clit, which throbbed.

“Aiden, play with me,” I begged. “I need to come again.”

“Greedy little kitten,” he said, amusement sparking behind his eyes. “What my mate wants, she gets.”

His hand unerringly quested between us, rolling over my engorged flesh and making me nearly scream with pleasure. I was so oversensitive from being filled to the max. It didn’t take me long to come, shaking, my body undulating around his cock.

“Fuck, Siobhan,” Aiden rumbled, dropping his head onto my shoulder. “You’re so damn sexy. Do you need another one?”

“Yes,” I gasped, gripping one of his horns tightly. “Make me come again. Make me come until you get hard again and come inside me without even needing to thrust because my body is milking you for all your seed.”

Aiden groaned, twitching within me. “That won’t be a problem, love. I’m already close.”

His secondary cock was leaking copiously on my belly between us. He swiped up some of the fluid and spread it over my clit, the hormones within it spiking my orgasm again. My throat felt raw from screaming that I didn’t recall doing.

“Oh God,” I moaned.

“Your God can’t help you now. You’ve got a beast in your bed,” Aiden said satisfactorily. “And I’m going to make you come until you’re bound to me, heart, body, and soul.”

“You’ve got it,” I whined, his talented fingers sending me up the cliff again. I flexed my bicep, pulling his head down to mine. “I’m completely yours.”

His eyes widened as I clamped over him again, and I felt a fresh surge of heat spurt within me, my body drawing his into orgasm just like I had said I wanted.

After a few moments of shared breaths, Aiden shifted back into his human form, his cock still buried between my thighs. “That was more intense than usual,” he panted, collapsing beside me so he wouldn’t crush me.

“Maybe it’s because we’ve got a stronger connection?” I suggested. “We’ve been sleeping together nightly.”

“It hasn’t been more than a week, and we’ve spent longer than that at Doyle Manor.”

“I don’t know. What do you think it is?”

He grinned and ran his tongue over his teeth. “I think it’s because I claimed you.”

I chuckled. “Claim me any time.” I pushed up to a sitting position. “But not now. We need to go to breakfast and discuss these earrings Grandfather gave me. I can’t believe I forgot about them yesterday.”

“You’ve had a lot on your mind.” Aiden kissed my shoulder. “I’ll get Professor Reynolds. Meet you down there.”

To my surprise, I arrived at the mess hall before him. I met our friends at our usual table and put the jewels in the middle.

“We need to decide who’s going to set the trap,” I said.

“Mysterious and fun,” Una said, opening the little box. “Oooh and gorgeous! What trap?”

I nodded and smiled at Aiden and Professor Reynolds as they walked up hand-in-hand. “These will help us find the thief. He won’t be able to resist these beauties. They’ve got a barrage of spells on them. Now we just have to make sure that everyone knows that one of us has them.”

Rhiannon shook her head violently. “Not me.”

“I think it should be Una,” Lilia said. “She’s pretty ostentatious, no offense meant, so it wouldn’t be out of character for her to flash these around.”

“They’re my taste, too,” Una said, admiring the earrings. “I’m a little nervous about the thief coming into my room to grab them.”

Rhiannon frowned. “I am, too.”

“Rhi, you can stay with us,” Hazel offered. “With Siobhan’s bed free, you won’t even have to share.”

“What about me?” Una exclaimed, eyes wide. “I’ll be all alone!”

“I will stay with you.”

We all turned to stare at Pierre, who flushed. “I will sleep in Rhiannon’s bed, with her permission.” He nodded at the girl. “You were brave to offer,” he said, shrugging one shoulder when Una kept staring at him.

“Thank you,” she said quietly. She threaded the earrings through her earlobes and then transfigured the box into a mirror to admire them. “I love them. I wish they didn’t have to be stolen.”

I chuckled. “I’ll pass your admiration on to Grandfather. Maybe he can procure some more. They’re not real rubies, you know,” I added as an afterthought.

“I don’t care about gem quality,” Una said. “These catch the light, which is more important to me any day.”

“Really?” Pierre asked.

“What use is quality if it doesn’t sparkle?” she said flippantly. “Excuse me, I need to go show these off. That’s the point, right?”

“Right.”

Una grabbed her apple and polished it on her torso. “Catch you at lunch,” she said in parting.

I watched her, amused, as she bounded over to the table nearby. “My extremely wealthy grandfather sent me these beautiful earrings for my birthday. They only just arrived,” she chirped loudly, pushing her hair over her shoulders and leaning forward. “Aren’t they gorgeous?”

The girls at the table oohed and aahed, while the boys blatantly stared at her cleavage.

“She is aware, is she not, that the boys here say she is a... What do you call it... A sure thing?” Pierre asked, his eyes narrowed as he stared after her.

“She likes sex,” I said bluntly. “You know what she hasn’t talked about since we got here this year?”

“What?”

“Sex.”

Pierre’s eyes widened slightly.

“Make of that what you will.”

I was on edge through my classes, and begged off watching the Olympics once I found out that I wasn’t competing that day.

I returned through the portal before everyone had finished leaving the academy. The old wizard checking me back in shook his head in confusion, but let me go up to my room without complaint.

I worked on my thesis until I fell asleep at my desk. I woke briefly when Aiden moved me to the bed, but not long enough for more than a sleepy kiss and a mumbled “I love you”.

The next morning, I was woken up by frantic pounding on our door.

I leapt out of bed, saw that I was still in my clothes from the previous day, and ran to the door.

Una stood there, still gasping for breath. “Ran here,” she panted. “Earrings gone.”

I nodded my understanding. “Want to come in?”

She collapsed on a chair near the door and fanned herself with a hand.

“You okay after the break-in?” I asked. “Did you feel safe with Pierre in the room?”

“Safe, sure,” she said with a snort. “He didn’t even try to get a peek at me in my pajamas! I wore the skimpiest ones I could think of, and made them almost entirely sheer!”

I covered my mouth with a hand to hide my smile. “Maybe he’s gay?”

Una thought about that for a moment before shaking her head. “No. He’s interested in me, damn it! Why won’t he do something about it?”

“Maybe he’s afraid you’ll get bored with him.” I tried to say it gently.

“Bored!” Una slumped in the seat with a sigh. “Just... Do the spell thing to track the earrings,” she said with a wave of her hand.

I cast the spell and the bright white line leading me to the stolen earrings shot out the door and around the corner. “Gotcha. Aiden? You coming?”

“Wouldn’t miss it.”

“Una?” I asked.

“I’m with you.”

We followed the trail—or rather, I followed the trail and the other two followed me—down the stairs to the second floor, all the way up to an unmarked door at the end of one hallway.

I tried the doorknob only to find it locked. “What’s in here?” I asked. “An unused classroom?”

“That’s the janitor’s office,” Aiden said grimly.

“Grain? Oh dear,” I said, frowning. I knocked on the door.

It took a moment, but the giant opened the door, looking confused to see us.

“Sorry about this, but I’m following a magical trail,” I explained. “Can I come in?”

“Magical trail to what?” he asked, suspicious.

“The earrings my grandfather gave to me.”

“I didn’t find those in the lost and found while I was cleaning yesterday.”

“I’m sure you didn’t. I’m also sure that you’re being framed. May I please enter?”

Grain narrowed his eyes, but he stepped aside, and I followed the trail to the wall behind his desk. There was a large picture of the Earth taken from behind the moon on the wall.

“Can I take this down?” I asked.

“Can you lift it?” he replied incredulously.

I twiddled my fingers. “Witch.”

He looked sheepish. “Right. Go ahead.”

Behind the framed picture was a hollow, and it was filled with jewelry.

Grain looked surprised. “That wasn’t there when I decorated the office.”

“I’m sure it wasn’t,” I said, trying to be reassuring. “We’ll speak up for you.”

“That won’t help,” he said, looking defeated.

“Are you going to run?” Aiden asked him, curious.

“What good would that do? They’ve got tracking on me. There’s nowhere I can go. Plus, it would make me look guilty as hell.” Grain groaned, running a hand down his face. “Someone must hate having me here.”

“That’s a pretty good motive, actually,” I said. “We have to notify the authorities, unfortunately. Hopefully they can do something with what we’ve found that will help them find the true thief.”

“I don’t have much hope of that, Miss Doyle,” Grain said with a sigh. “Well, let’s get this over with.”
