Ariella
While Davonyé sleeps, I practice blocking unwanted memories from appearing in my head. As sadistic as it is, I think about Carisse’s past, Davonyé’s past, and then I think about them both together until their time as a couple no longer torments me.
He was good to her—apart from when I came along—and I know she's hurting over losing him. It makes me feel bad because her purpose was to bring Davonyé here, and then her brother as the result of Davonyé and I meeting.
I try finding loopholes in what Aura said, but so far, it's true; every single thing that has ever happened, has been for a reason.
Ugh...
I feel hungry, so I sit up in bed and magic myself some peanut butter waffles, drowned in syrup. I think of a fork and one appears in my hand, so I tuck in. They taste better than dad's. Better not tell him that, though.
I feel like Aura’s given me skills to save my time. Maybe so I can focus on other things.
But what?
Davonyé sighs in his sleep; it’s almost time for him to wake up. It's five forty-five, and it ain’t snowing yet, but it will be in twenty-three minutes.
Davonyé’s grades are good, but he's a little behind on his schoolwork because of skipping so many classes. I decide to catch him up and hope he doesn't get pissy with me about it. Least it will take some of the pressure off, for now...
I need to speak to dad, because Davonyé needs time off school, and that's not gonna happen without some serious negotiation on dad's part. I can tutor him, get him ahead on his work; that's not a problem, but I need to make sure it's okay with him first.
After what he said about the whole finances shit, I know he ain't just gonna accept handouts from me and my family.
Mom used to be the same with dad when they first got together, but that changed when mom realised she had money, too.
I don't know much about Davonyé’s financial situation. Three grand in savings, his mom has money, so do his sisters, but that's because their mates are from a long line of wares...
I push the information away. Damn. I need to learn how to stop this shit from coming to me unless I want it to, otherwise, there won't be any surprises.
I finish my waffles and then make the plate and fork disappear. Davonyé’s alarm will be going off any...
His phone vibrates under his pillow, so I lie down to face him, just as he opens his eyes and smiles. “Hey.”
I smile back. I can't help it. “Hey.” I wanna kiss him, but my mouth must taste like peanut butter and his must taste like, I dunno, but not nice. I should’ve asked for the skill to brush someone's teeth, cuz I'd straight up use it on him right now.
He frowns. “Why do it feel like I've just brushed my teeth, Ari?”
I blink. Shit, mine, too... “Um...” I blush. “That might’ve been me...” I really need to be more careful with this shit.
“Go on…”
He wants me to explain? “Uh... Well...” I feel the warmth in my cheeks become flames. “I wanted to kiss you, but we hadn't brushed our teeth yet—”
His eyes widen briefly. “So you brushed them for me?”
“Not on purpose, no. I kinda did us both, just by thinkin’ about it.”
He holds my waist but then drags me closer to him. “Kiss me then.”
I see him lick his lips, but I quickly look back to his eyes. My heart is racing. It’s only a kiss…
“What you waitin’ on?”
“You make me feel so nervous, Davonyé.”
His eyes wander over my face, and my heart continues to hammer inside my chest. “Why? I thought I was yours?”
“You are, but when I look at you... You make me feel so much... I'm scared to put my hands on you because...”
He looks intrigued. “Because?”
“Because there are so many things I wanna do to you…. and so much that I want you to do to me... but I’m so scared of losing control and somehow hurting you.”
“Shit, Ari, you couldn’t imagine the things I wanna do to your body. How dark my thoughts are when it comes to the shit I wanna do to you. Even when I kissed you at your cousins party...” He shakes his head. “When I'm like you, there ain't gonna be no holding back, from either of us. You hear me?”
I nod in surprise. Fuck; does that mean he wants to damage me, too?
I hope so.
His alarm sounds again but he quickly finds it beneath his pillow to silence it before throwin’ it somewhere on the bed. He leans over me and I smell the mint on his breath cuz his lips are so close. His eyes narrow. “You gon’ kiss me now?”
I nod, slowly exhaling as I slip my hands around the back of his neck to gently pull him closer. I close my eyes and anticipate his lips touching mine, knowing I'm gonna want more than just a kiss as soon as they do.
And I’m right.
My body ignites in all the right ways as soon as our mouths connect. He smells good, but I know this is nowhere near as good as he's gonna smell once he's changed, and the thought of that makes me moan.
I bite his lip this time, making sure I don't press too hard, and he seems to approve because I feel his dick twitch against my thigh. My body shudders in need. Now I understand why mates fuck so much. It’s cuz the connection between them is just too damned much.
The urge to call him Baby bubbles up inside me again, but I settle for breathing his name instead; I know he likes that shit.
He kisses my neck and then his hand slips between my thighs. I part them and feel his fingers caressing me, but he quickly groans and begins to edge his dick inside me instead.
I'm drenched down there, and he's only kissed me. He turns me on so fucking much. Surely it can’t be norm—
“Oh, God...” He’s sunk that dick all the way in, not even being careful with it either.
“And you were doin’ so well.” He kisses my shoulder before he bites me.
“Fuck.” The feel of his teeth digging into my skin is just way too much and I tighten down on his dick much harder than I want to.
“Damn, Bae... Fuck...”
I tell myself to calm down as he begins to move again. I open my thighs wider and then grab his ass to pull him deeper. He groans at that and my head rolls back all by itself. He touches somewhere inside me that makes my body shake in ecstasy.
His lips find mine again, and then it’s a battle as the kiss becomes heated. His thrusts are brutal, ruthless, and furious, too, and it’s as if he never wants to pull out.
And I don't want him to.
I run my fingers over the soft skin of his back but quickly pull them away, cuz all I wanna do as my climax approaches is grab him so damn hard, he’s gotta restrain my ass.
God, help me.
I grab the sheets on the bed instead. “Harder,” I beg against his lips. “I need you to hurt me.”
He pulls his lips from mine and I open my eyes. I can only describe his expression as pure fire. He rises up and grabs my thigh before grinding his dick inside me, making contact with my clit at the same time he punishes my womb.
I cry out a sob and he briefly closes his eyes. When he opens them again, they burn me.
My leg rests on his shoulder as he slips his hand to my ass, pulling me up to push himself deeper. It hurts but it’s so damn good… I'm losing my shit by the second, my orgasm so close, my body can almost taste it.
“You don't know the shit you make me wanna do.” His fingers dig into my ass cheek, pinching my skin and exciting me more. “When I change, I’m gonna kill you with this dick.” He suddenly flips me over onto my front and after slapping my ass, forces his way back inside me again. He don’t even let me kneel; he just fucks me mercilessly into the damn bed, pinning my hips as he pounds into my drenched heat.
I feel my canines lengthen as I become lost to the painful but incredible pleasure. I push back against him; my pussy clenching like crazy from how hard he's giving it to me.
“Davonyé...”
He rests his body on mine and then he slips a finger underneath me to rub on my clit.
I’m past gone at that.
I don't know what I'm moaning, but between my gasps for air, I know it's not intelligible to either of us.
He groans all through my climax but don't let up on me, and when I feel like the peak is over, it starts all over again cuz he bites my shoulder.
“Fuck, bae. You fuckin’ me up right now.”
I can't even answer.
I just grind my ass against him as he shoves his dick so far up inside me, I cry out in pain. “Fuck!” As much as that hurts, I fuckin’ love it.
He starts to cum and his body on mine feels more like an embrace. He kisses the area he bit, and my heart flutters inside. I feel like sometimes he’s torn between wanting to be gentle with me and wanting to succumb to both of our desires at the same time.
It’s a fucked-up mix.
I feel his harsh breaths on my neck as he stills, and my chest aches. “The thought of even spending half a day at school and not being able to touch you has already got me vexed,” he whispers. “Fuck what anyone thinks. I ain't tryna hide us right now.”
“It won't be for long. Just until Harmony establishes a connection to Jaheim. And to be honest, I could do without being tested right now.” I try to be sympathetic to his feelings.
He kisses my cheek as he moves to get off me. “Once I go back after my change, we ain't hidin’ shit. After that, everybody’s gonna know your mine.”
I sigh deeply as I get up. “Alright.”
I need to tell Harmony.
