"Is Daniel still asleep?" Ryder asked with a yawn.
"Y'all always say I'm smooth. He's just slid into her DMs and took advantage," Marcus whined.
"Yup. He did a lot of sliding in and out." Kai sounded amused and EliaseAnne's gentle laughter rang out through our bond.
"You men get all jelly just because Daniel was smart. Stop getting your cocks in a knot," she tutted.
"EliaseAnne, why are you in control right now?" Marcus grumbled.
"Aww, Marcus. Don't be so mean just because you're gonna be fifth place in the line of sexy time. Also, you guys are loud as hell. Woke me up. Elias is fast asleep though," she huffed.
"You guys are noisy," I announced, turning slightly, not wanting to wake Mako who was snuggled right next to me.
"See? You woke Daniel up," EliaseAnne pointed out.
"Wait, fifth! Why the hell am I last?" Marcus questioned.
"Because knowing you, Kai is gonna be sliding in your spot," she teased.
The others chuckled.
Marcus groaned. "I'm going for a run," he grumbled, leaving the bond.
"EliaseAnne, you should go cheer him up," Kai hummed.
"When my bed is nice and cozy? Can't Ryder do it? He's the peacemaker," she complained.
"Ryder?" Kai asked; the bond was silent. "He fell back asleep."
"Ugh, Kai. Go, for me," Eli whined.
Kai sighed. "Fine, fine. Go back to sleep. I don't get why we're talking at five in the morning."
"Thank you. I need my beauty sleep or Elias pays for it later," EliaseAnne explained before leaving the bond.
I could imagine her falling right back to sleep with ease.
"It’s five in the morning?" I asked.
"Yes. We're still working out the knight schedule and tracking down Jeffrey and Blair. There's still no trail on either of them and we were thinking of doing an expedition to each realm. We have a meeting at noon. You have to be there," Kai stressed.
"I will be. Mako has training with her father in the morning," I mumbled and yawned, feeling sleepy. At least she’d be protected since she was with the King of Heila.
"Go back to sleep. I’ll go cheer Marcus up," Kai mumbled, sounding exhausted.
"Are you okay?" I asked. I knew he was tired like the rest of us, but he'd been up and down lately, one day having lots of energy and the next looking like he could barely keep his eyes open.
"I'm fine. I think just all the teleporting and worry from before has caught up to me. I'll make sure to sleep when the meeting is done," Kai reassured me.
"Go check on Marcus and then go back to sleep," I instructed.
"You worry too much."
"It's thanks to your help that I got the information I needed," I confessed.
"Did it work?" Kai asked, sounding shocked.
"Yes, a little. She could feel Nightmare on her leg and was able to move a little. It fades away, though. I'm hoping to heal her nerves faster," I admitted.
"Did you do it just once?" Kai inquired.
I felt my cheeks grow hot and remained silent. I didn't understand how he was so confident talking about these things.
"Daniel," Kai yawned and I mentally sighed.
"Yes, once."
"Well, for only one go at it, you got a good response. If you want to heal her faster, you should spend more time with her, if you know what I mean," Kai suggested.
"You're a bad influence," I grumbled.
"Just be lucky we can have all the sex we want, unlike humans who have to wear those silly rubber things." Kai chuckled.
"I…you know what? Never mind 'oh knowledgeable one.’ I don't get how you know all of this," I grumbled.
"Just admit you're happy we're giving you permission to have all the pleasurable fun with the Princess you want," Kai retorted with a soft chuckle. "I'm going to chill with the sulking dragon. I'll see you at the meeting at noon."
"Okay. See you," I replied.
We both left the bond and I opened my eyes, letting out another yawn. Azriel?
No response was given, making me sigh and shake my head. I bet I'm tired because of him taking over again in the middle of the night.
Mako stirred in my hold and I looked down as she opened her eyes. "Mako?" I asked.
She blinked a few times, looking confused. I frowned. Hmm, is she in her sleepwalking mode?
"Mako?" I spoke again and she just stared at me. "Hmm. Do you want milk?" I asked.
She was still for a moment, looking over at her legs with a frown before she turned back to me, nodding slowly.
"Okay. Give me a moment."
She nodded again and relaxed back on the pillow.
I grabbed a towel from one of her drawers, wrapping it around my waist before making my way to the private fridge. I found the strawberry milk marked "The Princess' milk. DO NOT TOUCH or I'll extinguish you— K. Akiyama" on it and poured a glass of the pink fluid. I returned to her room and closed the door. I watched her sit up and rub her eyes.
"Here you go, Makoto. Strawberry milk," I announced, offering the glass to her.
She smiled, taking it gently from my hand and cradling it between her hands like it was the Holy Grail. I smirked, loving how she cherished milk both when she was alert and in sleep mode.
She took her time drinking the liquid and I relaxed, walking back to the end of the bed to assess her legs. I summoned a hint of my magic, slowly inspecting each leg.
They are healing. I smiled, excited to see the little progress of mending nerve endings and the blood in her legs beginning to flow in the proper directions without continuous monitoring like when she was in the medical center.
I looked back to see Mako already snuggling my pillow and the empty glass on the nightstand. I hadn't heard her put it there, nor did I feel the shift of her movement. This left me curious as to if I was too deep in concentration or if she'd done some stealth movement like she often did.
I sighed, massaging Mako's legs and sending little trickles of energy through them. Since I'd be in a meeting during the day, I might as well work a bit on her legs now so there wasn't too long of a gap between treatments.
Mako stirred again and opened her eyes; her tired gaze met mine. "Tickles," she mumbled sleepily. She looked like she could have nodded off at any moment, but I smiled in response.
"You felt that, Makoto?"
She nodded, lifting her hand to rub her eyes. "Tingles and tickles. I'm tired," she confessed, relaxing back onto the bed and cuddling my pillow tightly against her.
I smirked, finishing my massage before leaning over to give her a gentle kiss on her lips.
She moaned, immediately responding to the kiss.
"Good morning," I whispered when I pulled back to smile at her.
"Morning. Isn't it too early?" she asked, her eyes already slowly beginning to close.
"Yes. It's five in the morning. You should go back to sleep."
"I'm not sleepy," she mumbled with her eyes closed. She opened them again as if she realized she was dozing off.
I chuckled. "C'mon Mako, sleep," I encouraged.
"Why are you only in a towel?" she wondered, staring at my bare chest.
"I had to get you milk and wasn't in the mood to put clothes on," I replied.
She looked a little more awake as her eyes lowered to my V-lines that disappeared beneath the white towel. "Those lines should be forbidden," she mumbled.
I laughed.
"Sorry?" She blushed, realizing she had said her thoughts out loud.
She bit her lip and I couldn't help but lean forward and claim her lips once more. We kissed till we were out of breath, pulling back to stare at one another.
I could see the way her eyes darkened with desire and I could only imagine my eyes were shifting to copper and filled with heated lust. My tiredness had been replaced by my hunger for her as my eyes lowered to the thin t-shirt she wore. My t-shirt.
"You want me to remove the towel?' I whispered and I watched her gulp while her eyes returned to my lower waist. I knew in these moments Mako could be shy, but I didn't need any powers to recognize her arousal. From how dark those blue jewels were in the dim light and the way her hardened nipples pressed against the white fabric, making them very apparent.
I tried to tame my own burning lust for her and my cock twitched to be inside her already. I loved everything about her and after last night, I wanted to hear her moans once again.
"Yes," she declared without a hint of hesitation.
I grinned, rising up and removing the towel around my waist, letting it drop to the floor. She looked at my cock and grinned at the sight of my obvious attraction to her. I doubt she knew what an effect she had on me, on any of us for that matter. She was an addiction none of us wanted a cure for.
I walked to the edge of the bed and her eyes trailed me like a hawk. I could sense her heart rate pick up and she bit her lip again, making me want to kiss them till they were swollen.
I closed my eyes, allowing my magic to awaken and flow down my arm to my fingertips. I began massaging her legs until she moved them away from my touch.
"Too hot," she mumbled and I smiled.
"That means your nerves are healing, Firefly," I reminded and she blinked as if realizing the gravity of that statement.
"Ah. Right," she replied, looking away.
I grinned, staring down at her breasts once more. "Mako. Take your shirt off," I commanded, unsure why I was in such a desperate need to see her naked body, but my gift was making it hard for me to think straight. She blushed but did what I asked, pulling the shirt off to reveal those perfect breasts that bounced from the slight movement.
I licked my lips and crawled onto the bed, moving until my face was only inches from hers. Her hand brushed my cheek and glided through my hair which was loose and wild from the night before.
"You're so hot," she whispered before pulling my head down to smash her lips against mine with an intense passion.
I moaned into her mouth and pinned her beneath me.
My gift was already having an effect on her and it only made me more excited to slide my cock in and out of her when the time was right. I relished in the warmth her body gave me and released her lips to suck on her lower lip before trailing my lips down her neck.
"Daniel. Mhmm," she moaned softly and let her head fall back as her back arched. I knew each sucking motion from my lips was sending tingles of pleasure through her body, her moans confirming it.
"Do you like when I use my gift this way? I intoned as I lowered my mouth to her breasts. I looked up to see her wild eyes and she slowly nodded.
"Yes," she answered between pants.
I gave her a wicked grin before latching my mouth onto her right breast; my tongue ever so slightly rubbed along her hard nipple.
"Ah!" Mako whimpered and I knew she was already close to climaxing.
I smiled at her sensitivity, while I tried to multitask. I used one hand to hold me in position while my free one went down her thigh, sending bits of my magic through her.
I was getting the hang of it, but I had to remind myself every so often to not get lost in the lovemaking until I was done with the healing aspect. Mako whimpered and her body trembled as I continued my playing with her breast in my mouth, alternating between sucking and teasing her hard nipple with my tongue.
She gasped and cried out as she climaxed, but I didn't stop, continuing my pleasurable torture. By the time I was finished with her left breast, I knew she was on the verge of another orgasm.
I pulled back and she sighed; I could see her disappointment. I thankfully had finished working on her legs and now could concentrate solely on her pleasure. I moved back up to kiss her again. While we kissed, I positioned my cock at her entrance and she moaned, breaking the kiss to breathe.
"Is it getting too much, Mako?" I whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to her neck and sending a little wave of magic to calm her. She sighed and her body relaxed while she caught her breath. I didn't want all of this to overwhelm her, especially since this was only the second time for us to be having sex with my gift involved.
"I'm fine. I like it. Don't stop. Please," she begged, meeting my eyes.
I saw her desperation and it made me want to please her all over again. "As you wish, my Princess," I hummed and slid my cock inside her.
We both moaned at the movement and Mako's arm returned to wrap around my neck. We were perfectly still, simply enjoying the moment of our unity.
"I've dreamed of being with you like this," I admitted, pressing my forehead against hers. "I wanted so badly to have you in my arms, to kiss and nibble on your flesh. I imagined making you moan and savoring your amazing breasts in my mouth. I envisioned making you cum over and over again, just to satisfy my own need for you. Now, that I have you, it feels so unreal. Like if I close my eyes, you'll be gone."
She gave me a sweet kiss and pulled me into an embrace. I relaxed, enjoying how complete I felt being so deep inside her and having her body pressed against me like we were truly one being.
"Daniel. I love you so much," she whispered and I wished I could hold her even tighter.
She didn't understand how long my ears had craved those words. Hearing them the first time was like a dream come true. Yet, hearing them again emphasized how real this moment was and reassured me that there would be more such moments in the near future.
"Me too," I replied, pulling out of the embrace to give her a wide smile.
She returned it with a serene smile on her pink swollen lips.
"You ready to continue where we left off?" I suggested; my smile turned into a smirk as I moved my cock slightly.
She moaned and let out a soft giggle. "Yes. Slow but intense," she purred.
I began to move at a sensual pace, letting my gift build just as slowly. We kissed and her hands roamed through my hair and ran down my back. Our tongues battled for dominance while our hips moved in perfect rhythm.
I was getting closer and closer to my own climax and it was hard to stay at a slow pace. I wanted to wait till she begged me to move faster, but from the way our breaths increased and our moans grew louder, I doubt either of us would be able to keep this up for long.
"Faster, Daniel," she groaned.
I was beyond grateful to hear those words. I increased my pace, hitting the perfect spot. Mako cried out as she came, but I wasn't done. I fucked her fast and hard, this time letting my gift take over and pulse through us. Mako's loud moans turned to quiet whimpers as her nails dug into my back, clinging to me as I brutally powered into her. I was so close and I knew she would cum with me from the way her pussy tightened and fluttered around my length.
"Mako, ah, fuck yes, cum for me!" I growled, letting go of the rest of the hold I had on my gift and letting it vibrate through her just like my hot cum shot inside her, load after load.
She cried out, the sound barely a whisper as she came hard, trembling as aftershocks went through her. I let the last shot of cum go inside her and slowly pulled out, I quickly caught her as her body went limp and her eyes rolled back.
Her shudders decreased and her panting slowed as she caught her breath, looking like she was falling in and out of unconsciousness.
I pulled her into my arms and kissed her softly on the forehead. "Mako, you okay?” I asked, still trying to calm my rapid exhales. She gave a slight nod, relaxing in my arms.
Minutes passed before we finally calmed. We switched into a lying position and Mako was snuggled in my arms; she began to giggle softly. I looked down at her, raising an eyebrow at her. "What's so funny?"
"I was thinking this would be the perfect booty call." She giggled harder.
I groaned. "I said that. Azriel said I was being silly," I grumbled while my cheeks burned with embarrassment. I'm so scolding him when he gets up.
Mako looked up at me, leaning slightly to kiss me. "Thank you," she whispered.
I gave her a confused look. "I didn't do anything."
"Hmm. Awesome night sex. Really awesome morning sex. And you were able to multitask." She grinned, lifting her leg slightly to lay it on top of mine.
"It lasted longer this time," I realized, staring at her legs and the beautiful markings on display.
"The feeling is almost gone, but it's nice to have movement when we're doing pleasurable activities," she whispered.
I grinned and moved a few strands of her hair out the way.
"I'll heal you, no matter what. Just be patient with me, okay?" I vowed.
She'd not only receive her ability to walk back, but would be stronger from the experience. All of us would, including me.
She nodded with a wide smile. "Okay."
