Fueled by Lust: Severus (Siren Publishing Classic)

  “Are you okay, baby? I want to move. Let me know if you’re okay.”

  Cassie spread her arms above her head and arched her back. “It’s good. It feels so good…Move for me, Severus. Take what you need.”

  Severus opened his mind and draped himself across her back, his lips close to her ear. He braced his elbow on the mattress and shoved the other under her stomach, pulling her close against his belly. He spread his thighs wide and dug his knees into the mattress. He started to move slowly in and out as he talked to her in a low, smooth voice.

  “Relax, baby. Feel how good we are together? You are so beautiful. Ah, yes. I love how you feel when you contract your muscles against my cock. Do you know how much I love you, Cassie?”

  Cassie sighed and kept moving her hips counterpart to the slow rhythm he had set. “I love you, too, Severus. I want to be yours. Tell me what to do.”

  Severus rejoiced in her acceptance. He breathed heavily against her neck. “Open your mind to me as you have opened your body. Let me in, Cassie.” He pushed his essence into her mind and felt her struggle to set aside her reservations. She had worked years to keep them in place and he needed to sweep them away with his love and his skill. He moved his hand down her stomach and pressed two fingers into her pussy, wetting them with her sweet cream. He pulled them back up and began swirling them across her clit at the same tempo as he slid in and out of her ass.

  “Baby, let me in. Trust that you know who I am. Trust that I would never hurt you. Trust that I am yours completely. Know that I would die for you.”

  She moaned in agonized bliss as he took her over the edge. His essence fell unheeded into her body as she forever removed barriers against him. He felt tears well behind his eyes at the level of trust she had just given him. Her love was pure and smelled of orange blossoms.

  Then it hit. Their energy mingled and crackled like lightning and a rush of chills skittered across every inch of his flesh as his core recognized and embraced hers. He heard her call out as his life force rushed through her body and attached to every cell, binding them for a millennium. He felt the stabilizing energy of Insedivertus rise from the ground and send seeking fingers through their bodies. It acknowledged and accepted the newly formed bond. He felt the happiness of his world as it caressed their flesh then slid away.

  His hips worked furiously against her buttocks as she rocked back into him, calling for him to take her harder. He could feel her second climax building at the same time as his. He knew she was experiencing his, as well. She was mumbling and moaning as cum shot up through his shaft and erupted inside of her. They both cried out as he experienced her muscles locking hard onto his cock. Their shared orgasm persisted until they both dropped exhausted to the mattress. He was barely conscious enough to feebly roll away from her body before he crushed her. He moaned as his hardened flesh slid from the warm recess of her body.

  Severus lay there and heaved for breath, his primary essence bouncing back and forth between their bodies as it cataloged, memorized, and organized their shared energy. He tried to talk, but his throat was beyond dry. He wanted to move, to take care of her, to clean her, but he was almost comatose. His mind latched onto the day Drusus shared a tidbit of his mating with Lina. It was at this exact moment that Drusus had lost complete function of his limbs. The only thing Drusus would say was, “Your female will know what to do.”

  Severus lifted his head. No, wait. Someone else was lifting his head. Oh. It was Cassie. Yes. Cool water down his throat. Much better. “Your voice. I love your voice.” Ah, yes. He felt warmth rub gently against his genitals and coolness pressed against his heated brow and body. So nice. Sleep. Let me sleep. My Cassie. Yes, curl up next to me, mellis. Let me lie down with you for a moment. So warm, so sweet.

  Chapter 32

  Severus stared down at Cassie as morning light fought to breach the closed drapes and marveled at the feeling of rightness within him. He wished he could lay beside her forever. Something had clicked into place last night, a wrong had been righted, and a missing piece had been found. His energy felt different. It hummed within him at a steady level. Before, it had fluctuated and was demanding in its need to remain balanced. No more. It was level and true. He felt stronger and invigorated. He moved his palm down her arm and touched each delicate finger that lay across her stomach, paying particular attention to the ring finger. As soon as they returned to Earth he had plans to place a very beautiful ring on it. He smiled at the thought of her taking his last name. Cassandra Faal. It sounded perfect. He watched her chest rise and fall with each precious breath. He pulled her into his arms and buried his face against her warm neck.

  “Wake, sweetness. I need to take you somewhere. Wake, my love.”

  When she grumbled, pushed him away, and covered her eyes with her forearm, he chuckled as he remembered her distaste of rising early. An image of her swinging her door wide and revealing her black negligee when he and Drusus were trying to find Lina leapt into his mind and his cock grew against his thigh. It had been the first time he had laid eyes on her. He’d been instantly drawn to her sassy mouth and beautiful eyes.

  Severus smiled and willed his body to mist. He knew exactly how to wake his sleeping beauty. He slithered beneath the sheets and focused his energy to slide between her legs and settle over her mound. She kicked her feet and mumbled incoherently. He pushed her legs wide and began to slowly vibrate against her clit. When she moaned and arched her back, he drifted up and down her sensitive bundle of nerves until he sensed her juices flowing for him. He pushed more energy into her pussy and started twirling and twisting inside of her. As her moans grew louder he rolled her to her side and increased the bulk of his essence until his cock was fully hard within her silky walls. He increased the vibrations against her clit until her eyes shot open and her lips parted on a gasp.

  He fully formed behind her and slid an arm under her neck while the other grabbed her thigh and pulled her leg over his. Her beautiful, pink lips and clit were fully exposed as he pushed in and out of her. He licked her skin connecting her shoulder and neck, taking nibbling bites as he enjoyed the clench and release of her hot, moist walls around his flesh. He placed two fingers against her clit and willed them into pure energy. Quickly, he vibrated over the flesh until she was panting and begging for him to fuck her harder. He obliged. He propped himself up on one elbow so he wouldn’t lose focus on her face as he watched her passion take hold. He used the husky voice he knew turned her on.

  “Ummm, yes. Ride my fingers, baby. Take what you need. I love being inside of you. You’re so tight around my cock. I want to be in you every day. God damn, baby. You keep biting your lip like that you’re going to make me come. I don’t want to stop. I want to fill you up. I want you to feel me. I need to see you come. Take it…this cock is yours…use me…let go, baby…let go.”

  Cassie balled her fists into the sheets and frantically pushed and undulated her hips against his. He could feel her loosening and become wetter as she focused on reaching her goal. Her heel locked up against his ass as she dug in for the ride. His skin pebbled at her lusty moans and demanding voice as she lost herself in the moment.

  “Oh, god. Yes. Push that fat cock hard in me. Rub harder. Ah, fuck that feels good. Short strokes…yes…yes…yes…like that. Perfect…perfect! Baby, that feels so good. Harder. That spot. There! Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck…I’m gonna come. Yes, faster! Yes…there…there…there…uunnhhh…Severus!”

  Cassie fell silent as she clenched her jaw and stiffened at the first punch of the orgasm, then her lips went slack and parted on panting bursts of air as the pleasure caught and dropped her over the edge. Just watching the myriad of emotions flash across her face as she throbbed and gripped his dick set his own fierce orgasm loose. He buried his face against her neck and grunted and moaned like a caveman as the agonizingly exquisite pleasure took control of his cock, balls, and brain. He came over and over inside of her. It wouldn’t stop. Anytime her muscles tightened, he felt his cum coa
t her silky walls. Finally, lethargic and spent, he withdrew and they both dropped to their backs and heaved to capture air. He felt her grasp his hand and he immediately tangled his fingers with hers. He turned his head toward her and smiled when she opened her eyes and gave him a shy smile in return.

  “You said you were taking me somewhere. Where’re we going?”

  He rolled over and kissed her lips and dragged her up against his chest. When he leaned back to look at her, he saw that she was holding the mating necklace in her palm. She looked up with the sweetest expression on her face.

  “Oh, baby. Look. You’re glowing for me.”

  Severus lifted the chain and let the predator tooth dangle between them. The bluish glow reflected in Cassie’s honey-brown eyes. “Everyone will know that you’re mine now, sweetness. We are one.”

  When she grinned up at him, he leaned forward and kissed her stupid. He left her with a blissful look on her face as he quickly rolled out of the bed and headed for the shower before he let his cock think about going for round two. “I’m taking you someplace special. I want to shower with you, but I know I’ll only delay us if you get anywhere near me without your clothes on.”

  Cassie turned to her side and laughed. “Okay, but can I at least get some breakfast? I seemed to have worked up an appetite.”

  Severus glanced over his shoulder and grinned as he opened the bathroom door. “We’ll take a basket with us. It’s not far from here.” He almost tripped over a streak of purple that tangled around his ankle before it made a mad dash directly to Cassie. “Shit! I forgot about Barney.”

  Cassie flopped back in the bed and started giggling when the Lemarok pounced on her stomach and slithered up to her chest. It trilled at her repeatedly, as if he was chastising her for leaving him in the bathroom for too long. It rolled over onto its back and looked at her expectantly.

  Cassie started rubbing his belly. “Fine. But you get one minute, buster. You’re not going to get used to this. Do you hear me?”

  Severus shook his head and laughed. “I believe you have it wrong, baby. I think you’re the one getting trained.”

  Cassie rolled her eyes. “That’ll be the day.” She looked over to him and smiled. “Hurry, I’m hungry.”

  Severus winked and headed for the shower. He quickly bathed and wrapped a towel around his hips. When he returned to the bedroom, he found Cassie tying her robe sash and trying in vain not to trip over her Lemarok. It was shadowing her every step, his tail whipping in a frenzy of excitement. Severus bent down and scooped up the crazed pet and tucked him into the crook of his arm.

  “You’re coming with me. Let your master have some peace.” The Lemarok trilled in dismay and stared longingly at Cassie as she waved at him and headed for the bathroom. Severus swatted her on the butt as she passed by. “I’ll run down to the kitchen and get our basket prepared. Maybe Lina will watch him while we’re out. I’m sure he’ll be glad to see his brother.”

  Cassie hesitated at the door. “You know, it’s going to be impossible to convince people he’s normal when we get back home. He’s very similar to the ferret, but how the hell do I explain him being purple? Hell! What am I saying? They’ll freak on that crazy tail and his weird radar ears.”

  Severus laughed. “I hadn’t thought of that. I guess you can tell everyone you dye him that color. Not sure how to explain the tail and ears. Maybe it could be passed off as a breeding decision. He could be an exotic pet you had designed.”

  Cassie laughed. “I think I’ll be better off keeping him locked up in the house. I won’t be taking him on any walks. That’s for sure.”

  Severus bent and kissed her on the lips. “I’d tell you to leave him here, but he will wither away and die as he pines for you. Their bonding is absolute.” He pressed his lips harder against hers then backed away as the Lemarok began pawing at Cassie’s shoulder. “I guess it’s similar to how I feel about you. I’d die if you left me.”

  Cassie’s eyes softened and she reached up to caress his face. “Read my thoughts, Severus.”

  Severus closed his eyes and opened his mind to her. His heart melted at her words.

  You are my world, Severus. I’m completely yours and you’re mine. I’d be lost without you, too.

  Severus opened his eyes and smiled. He sent his thoughts back to her. I love you, sweetness. Now, get your butt in the shower and I’ll be right back.

  Cassie laughed and punched him lightly on the shoulder before blowing him a kiss and closing the door.

  * * * *

  Severus spread out a blanket and placed the basket loaded with food on the edge. He’d missed the succulent taste of the musa fruit and could already smell its heady fragrance tickling his nose. It was similar to a banana on Earth, but much juicier. He laid out two covered warming plates filled with scrambled fugol, fried tubermon, and thin strips of canhion meat. He’d picked foods that Cassie could associate with a normal Earth breakfast. The colors may vary, but the taste was equivalent, if not better. She had picked at her food last night, but he wasn’t sure if it was from overstimulation or she was freaking on the unfamiliar fare.

  Severus chuckled to himself as he remembered bumping into Drusus this morning. He was also fumbling around the kitchen trying to find something for his Avelina. He was steadfastly brushing off the shocked kitchen staff. The place was in an uproar as they helplessly watched a member of the royal family trying to cook. Drusus had raised an eyebrow and smiled knowingly when he spotted the glowing tooth proudly displayed on his chest. He would never forget his Trejani’s words as he helped him prepare the meal.

  “I am only newly mated myself, Severus, but cannot begin to tell you the depth of feeling you will experience. She is everything.”

  Severus looked up to call Cassie over and hesitated as he watched her interact with the yushta tree. The minute they had walked under the shaded canopy, Cassie had stopped and stood in awe as she stared at the swaying, whip-thin branches. She had sucked in her breath and whispered, “I can feel it, Severus. It’s talking to me.” When the branches reached forward and began to gently touch her arms and face, she had reached out and caressed them back. “They’re welcoming me. This is so awesome!”

  Severus smiled and turned away from the stunning sight of his mate interacting with the planet inhabitants that now recognized her as one of their own. He would teach her to draw the energy of Insedivertus into her core. She didn’t need it to survive, but it was a heady and exhilarating experience when one needed a quick recharge.

  Reaching out to rearrange the pillows he’d brought along, Severus jerked when his Trejani knocked against his barriers for audience. Severus opened his mind and answered.

  Trejani, is everything okay?

  I’m unsure. Father has received word from the Protonecis Senate. They are seeking his help.

  Severus smiled. I would think this would be a good thing. They haven’t seemed open to dialogue since they reformed.

  It would if it were not news of Basilius.

  Severus’s gut clenched and he quickly glanced to Cassie. He’d take her from here in an instant if that bastard had retaken the throne. What news do they deliver?

  They’ve received rumors that he has reached out to his supporters and they harbor him. The senate is trying desperately to place a king upon the throne before the rumors can be found accurate. Their negotiations with the one favored by the populace hasn’t gone as expected. He turns away any contact and refuses to speak with them.

  Severus frowned. Why is he averse to taking his rightful place?

  Drusus’s snorted in disgust. Because they played a powerful role in his exile. He has lost trust.

  I would feel the same. How do they expect your father to help? This should remain a Protonecian drama, not ours.

  One would think. However, they believe that we can send an emissary to convince him otherwise. I’m sending word for Ulixes to join us. Father wants him available at the next senate gathering.

  Severus’s e
yebrows rose. This is very interesting. Perhaps our success in bringing this new king into power will end our worries. If Basilius is alive, I’m sure he’ll see to his quick demise.

  Father’s thoughts exactly.

  Is there anything you need for me to do for you, Trejani? Cassie and I can return immediately.

  No. I didn’t want to disturb you in the first place. However, with news that Basilius stirs, I thought you should know immediately. Father has increased patrol, but he’s a slick bastard and I didn’t want you unaware.

  Thank you, amici.

  Drusus slipped from his mind and left Severus to ponder the ramifications of what he’d learned. Basilius continued to be a thorn in the Insedi side and psyche. If he truly lived, a reckoning remained in his future. It was inevitable.

  Breathing deeply of the perfumed air to clear the unsettled feeling he harbored, Severus stared across the expanse of the Trancis River and watched the turquoise and golden grasses weaving along the Great Plains. There were no cries of anguish carried on a harsh wind or aggrieved mates burning their dead. It was tranquil and innocent, as it should be. He looked over to Cassie when she sat next to him.

  “It’s beautiful here, Severus. I’m going to make this our official escape spot each time we visit.”

  When she grinned up at him, his chest constricted at how much he loved her. He twisted and pulled her over into his arms until she lay draped across his lap. His muscles instantly tightened when he realized this was exactly how he’d held her in his dream. As he looked down into her vibrant, golden eyes, he felt the past wash away. She was alive and smiling. She was his for a lifetime.

  Cassie reached into the front of his shirt and pulled the mating necklace out. She wrapped her palm around the glowing tooth and looked up with a mischievous glint in her eye. “Say, big guy. You got anything else on your body that’s hot for me?”
