Chapter 45

Julia

I was tempted to refuse to remove my bra, just so Gryph would follow through with his threat. I’d given up on trying to figure out when I’d become the type of woman who enjoyed being ordered around by a man. Gryph seemed to be the exception to my rule about bossy men.

At my hesitation, his grin widened. “Oh, Sass,” he murmured. “I fucking love it when you challenge me.”

Rather than ripping my bra off, Gryph caught both my wrists in his large hand and held them above my head as he guided me back onto the sofa. His rough chest hairs brushed against my nipples as he claimed my mouth. His kiss left me panting and ready to beg for more by the time he moved down to suck one of my nipples into his mouth. It wasn’t until I felt him tugging at my other nipple with his rough fingers that I realized he’d released my hands.

Freeing myself from my bra, I reached down to clutch Gryph’s shoulders. The sensation of his hot mouth on my nipple was making my body pulse with desire. I was pressing my legs together to try to find some relief, not sure how much more I could take. I’d wanted Gryph for so long, and he was finally going to be mine.

A yelp escaped my lips when Gryph bit my nipple. He quickly soothed the sting by stroking it gently with his tongue before kissing his way down my body. His path was slow and leisurely as he licked and nipped me.

He angled his body so he could grip the fabric of my panties with his teeth.

My magic reached out to him, and he hissed, releasing my panties. If he was feeling even half of what I was, then I understood his reaction. I let out a loud whimper as the magic slid between my legs, vibrating against my core.

“Oh, Goddess!” I screamed as it grew more intense.

Gryph tore my panties from my body and ran his tongue across my clit. It only added to the fires lapping at my aching pussy. The charge of magic increased, and my mind was flooded with images of Gryph claiming me. I was somehow picking up the images from Gryph’s mind.

“Please, Gryph,” I uttered. “I need you in me. It’s too much. Please, take me now.”

My back arched, bringing me closer to his hot, ragged breaths. Gryph’s low rumbling growl clearly expressed his need and his struggle for control. I was tired of control. Getting to my knees, I reached for Gryph’s belt as I mouthed the words to the new spell I’d created.

Gryph caught my hands, his green eyes meeting mine. “Not here. We need to go upstairs.”

I wasn’t about to argue since it would delay the time it took to get Gryph in me. When Gryph stood, he looked down at his bare feet and then back up at me.

“It’s a spell,” I said in answer to his unasked question. Quickly getting to my feet, I hurried to the stairs.

I felt Gryph’s eyes on me as I walked up the stairs on shaky legs. “You are so fucking perfect,” he murmured, snaking his arm around my waist when we neared the top. I quivered as his hand moved down to cup me. With his dick pressed against my bare ass and his hand pressed against my hot core, I wasn’t certain I could walk.

“You have no idea how much I want to fuck you right here on these stairs,” he growled.

When I turned to kiss him, Gryph leaned forward and lifted me over his shoulder before jogging the rest of the way to his room. He set me on his huge bed in the room decorated in rich shades of crimson. I knelt to face Gryph. His hand moved to the back of my head.

His mouth hovered close to mine as he murmured, “I’ve dreamed about having you in my bed countless times.”

My hands went to his belt, and he didn’t stop me this time. Instead, he kissed me as I worked on the fastenings of his jeans and pushed them down with his boxers.

He groaned into my mouth when I gripped his dick.

“Fuck me, Sass,” he ground out against my lips. “That feels incredible, but I need you to stop.”

When I pulled my hand away, Gryph kicked out of his pants and boxers. I’d seen Gryph without a shirt many times, but I never tired of seeing his well-defined torso. As he stood before me, my gaze traveled down his body, taking in his broad chest and firm abs that trailed down to his narrow hips. My eyes locked on his dick, which was nothing short of magnificent.

Gryph moved to his bedside table to grab a condom.

“How about if I help you with this?” I asked, reaching out a hand.

He nodded and placed the condom in my hand. His eyes remained locked on me as I tore open the package and rolled the condom down his erection. “I want you so much,” he breathed out before brushing his lips against mine. “You know you’re mine now, don’t you? Just like I’m yours.”

“I’m all yours,” I assured him.

He kissed me again, this time guiding me back onto the bed, his large body covering mine. With his elbow on the bed, he held his weight off me slightly as he kissed me. I worked my hands between our bodies to try to align the head of his cock with my entrance, whimpering when I realized our height difference made it impossible.

Breaking our kiss, Gryph rolled to his back, pulling me on top of him. Straddling his hips, I positioned him at my entrance and slid down, feeling deliciously stretched by his dick.

“Oh, Goddess,” I gasped.

“So tight and hot,” Gryph rasped out as he gripped my hip.

It took me a moment to adjust to his size. Gryph regarded me through hooded eyes as he reached forward to stroke my clit. I pulsed around Gryph as my arousal grew.

I rocked against him slowly while Gryph’s finger continued to move against my clit in circular strokes. As my body adjusted to Gryph’s size, I began to rock faster. Leaning forward, I braced my hands on his chest as I slid up and down his cock.

“So good,” Gryph praised, his hand moving from my clit as he regarded me through hooded eyes. “You feel incredible, Sass. I never imagined it could be this good.”

“Yes,” I panted out, leaning forward more to get the pressure I needed on my clit as I rocked against Gryph. “Perfect. This is so perfect.”

I sensed Gryph’s struggle to keep things slow in an effort to avoid hurting me. Through our bond, I could feel his love and his desire to protect me. Those emotions added to my arousal.

My movements became more frenzied, and his hand gripped my hip as he thrust up into me. Our magic flared again, vibrating along my entire body as I pulsed around Gryph’s dick.

I was already tightening around him as he thrust up against me. When the vibrations from the magic increased, I exploded, screaming Gryph’s name.

Gryph stilled inside me until the violent pulses of my orgasm subsided.

“Get on your hands and knees,” he ordered, and I obeyed without hesitation.

Gripping my hair tightly, he slammed into my body so hard, I nearly fell forward. I screamed with each powerful thrust as he claimed me in a more violent, primitive way.

I knew he was close, could feel it in the way his dick swelled inside me. He leaned forward and sank his teeth into the back of my neck. His dick jerked and twitched with his release.

I sucked in a sharp breath at the pain from his teeth. At first, I struggled to free myself. When Gryph growled, I felt the caress of his werewolf magic moving along my body, soothing me. I could see the various shades of blue surrounding us. The bite still hurt, but at the same time, I didn’t want him to release me. Our magic knit together in a complex pattern that went beyond our witch bond or the strange bond from the night I’d seen Gryph in wolf form. It wasn’t until the pattern closed that Gryph finally removed his teeth.

We were fully bonded.
