Chapter Fourteen
Nyx needed those words. And now he’d finally said them. She turned her head to look at his face cast in the glow of his blazing deep blue eyes. Nyx swallowed as she stared at him. The heat from last night still flowing between them.
She licked her lips and watched his eyes flare at the action.
He groaned loudly.
“You don’t know what you do to me,” he whispered.
Nyx gave a nervous laugh. “I think I have a pretty good idea,” she said and moved slightly. His hard cock pressed hard against her.
For the first time, Nero grinned at her, and it was as if she was seeing him in a whole new light. Two small dimples formed on his cheeks.
She brought her hands to his face and cupped the side of his face.
“I like seeing you smile,” she said quietly.
For a moment she thought he might look away or move. His face flushed under her palm.
He kissed her, his mouth hot and coaxing. He nipped at her bottom lip, and she opened to him.
The kiss was slower than their others. He took the time to explore her.
Nyx moaned when his hand found to her ass. He pulled her hard against the swell in his pants.
Nero pulled away from her mouth and looked down at her.
“I need to be in you,” he said. “I need to show you how much I want you.”
She shivered at his words. Somehow his straightforward ways turned her on more than anything else he might say.
Nyx raised her arms over her head. “I’m yours.”
Her simple words echoed in his head and fueled him in ways she couldn’t begin to understand.
Hunger burned inside him, a fire he didn’t think would ever die out now that they had been together.
Nero slowly lifted her black t-shirt. His knuckles traced slowly up her side as he did so, brushing against the side of her black lace bra. When he’d pulled it off, he tossed it over his shoulder.
Nyx raised a brow at him. He only grinned as he moved down her body.
One after the other, he lifted her feet and removed her sneakers. Then, he slowly worked off her yoga pants. Her bright blue tattoo stood out against her pale skin. He leaned forward and traced the line with his mouth, planting warm wet kisses.
Nyx ran a hand in his hair, and he glanced up to her. Her face flushed and lips parted. He came to her black lace panties and growled at the obstruction.
She pulled his head back to look up at her.
“No way you’re ruining another of my favorite pairs,” she said and frowned.
Nero snorted loudly. “Just do without.”
Nyx raised a brow. “You sure you want that?”
Nero growled loudly as she slipped off her bra. Before he hadn’t gotten the chance to admire her more than ample breasts. The idea of them not being confined during training both aroused him and infuriated him. He’d love to see her that way but not if there were other men around.
“Fine,” he grunted.
In one quick sweep, he had her panties down and sailing across the room.
With her now exposed, Nero continued to explore the body he hadn’t given himself the chance to the night before. His mouth trailed down her body until he found himself at the apex of her thighs.
He spread her legs and glanced up to her. Nyx stared down at him, a deep blush spread across her face. Nero lifted one leg.
She smelled like heaven. He breathed in deeply and leaned in.
Her legs shook as she watched him. His tongue licked the seam of her lips, just slipping past the folds.
Nyx moaned as he swept up and down over her, the tip of his tongue brushing against her tender clit.
Her hand tightened in his hair, and he moved over her.
She gasped loudly when his placed his mouth firmly against her and pressed his tongue deep inside. She could feel it move, and she shivered hard against him.
“Nero,” she whispered.
He growled at his name on her lips.
His tongue darted in and out of her. With each movement, she called out his name, overcome by delicious vibrations that accompanied his welcome entrance.
“Please,” she whispered. “I need you.”
He stilled between her legs, his tongue still buried deep inside her.
Nero pulled back and gave her one last swipe with his tongue across her clit. She shuddered.
“Say it again,” he growled.
Nyx looked down at him, her juices still on his face. Raw hunger coursed between them.
“I need you, Nero,” she whispered.
As if he had always been there, Nero was standing between her legs, pressing her hard against the wall. She heard his pants hit the floor and wondered how he’d managed to be so fast.
He placed her arms around his shoulders and lifted her with ease from under her legs. His hard length pressed against her wet center, and she wished he’d just enter her. The ache was getting to be too much.
She looked away from their nearly joined bodies to his eyes.
“I don’t want to hurt your side,” he said.
Nyx hadn’t even thought about it since getting there. He’d gone out of his way to make sure she didn’t strain her side.
She leaned forward and kissed him, tasting herself on his tongue. When she leaned back, his eyes had become deep, fiery wells.
“You won’t hurt me,” she said with confidence.
She could see the hesitation and leaned forward a bit. “I trust you.”
Those three little words were all he needed. Nero thrust deep inside her. Her warmth surrounded him as he pressed inside her.
She moved, and he could feel her muscles working over him as she made room for him inside. His neck strained as he struggled to keep from slamming into her.
“Fuck me,” she whispered.
He stilled and stared at her wide eyes. Had she just—?
Nyx looked at him. Her bright blue eyes lit up the space between them. She moaned loudly before tossing her head back and shifting her hips against him.
Nero gripped her hips and thrust with long, sweeping strokes into her. With each thrust, she groaned and dug her nails into his shoulders.
“More,” she hissed.
He could feel himself slipping as the beast inside struggled to come forward. Nero couldn’t let that happen. She was injured. The beast wouldn’t give a shit about that and just seek his own release.
Her fingers found their way to his head, and he snarled when she dug her nails in there.
“I won’t break,” she ground out. “Fuck me.”
Nero roared, his mind filled with how much he wanted her. He sped up, his hands shifting her hips to meet his thrusts. He looked down and watched as her breasts bounced with each thrust, her deep red peaks pointed at him, aching for some attention. He leaned down and sucked hard on a sweet bud.
Nyx moaned loudly. The walls of her pussy clenched around him with each draw he took. His hips moved on their own, taking all that she had to give.
The faster he moved, the slicker she grew. The sound of their wet love only made him want more. He bit down gently on her nipple.
Nyx scraped his back with her nails and arched into his mouth. He pulled back with a pop.
Bowing his body, Nero pushed into her at a new angle and was now able to press himself fully inside. The feeling of being surrounded by her only spurred him further.
Nyx leaned forward and wrapped her arms around his back. Their chests now pressed together. She shuddered in his arms.
“So close,” she whispered.
He nodded. His own release was just seconds away.
She leaned down and placed her mouth on his shoulder.
Nero slapped harder into her, and his cock swelled. He needed her to come so he could.
Her teeth shocked him as he nipped the sensitive skin on his neck. Not enough to hurt but just enough to send him over the edge. Nero slammed hard into her, unable to hold back and emptied himself deep inside. Her tight muscles contracted around him, pulling the last of his orgasm out.
He leaned back to stare in wonder at her.
“Did I hurt you?” she asked.
Nero gave a half laugh, more surprised that she’d even worry.
“Not even close.” He grinned.
He pulled her close and kissed her. The joy flowing through him was almost more than he could take.
Nero pulled back when she started to laugh. He frowned.
“Do you have something against beds?” she asked.
He stared at her for a moment, not really sure why she would ask.
She smiled. “Because I hear sex in a bed can be just as nice.”
He grinned and leaned forward to nip her lip.
“Maybe we’ll have to test that out.”
He slid away from her and swooped her up in his arms. She laughed as he carried her back into his room.
Nero placed her on the bed.

They lay quietly together. Stray thoughts fed each other in Nero’s mind, until any attempt at rest was denied. He could tell by her steady breathing that she was nearly asleep, but there were questions he needed her to answer.
“Have you ever thought about leaving?” he asked quietly. “The Horatius Group is still out there. There’s more of a risk being found with so many hybrids gathered in one place.”
Nyx snuggled deeper into his side. Her arm and leg draped over his body. She ran her hand back and forth over her chest.
“No,” she said quietly. “We are together.”
She sighed and looked at him. Nyx tightened her arm around him. “We’re all together. I would rather go down with the people I care about than run and live another day.”
She lay her head back on his chest and placed a few small kisses just above the deep scars he had there. Her soft words meant more than she could know.
