I lay in bed, staring at my phone as I watched the brunette being pressed against the glass window, her lover sliding his cock inside her. He began pounding into her while kissing her neck. She moaned loudly, begging him to go faster.
Faelia had walked me back, insisting I should rest while waiting for the guys to return. We'd exchanged numbers and she told me if I ever needed advice, she was only a call away.
Arielle had woken up momentarily but fell right back asleep. I let her rest in Hunter and Theo's room since she had a spare little nest there for her when she wanted to go listen to Theo's stories he would tell before bed.
I was tired, but I couldn't go to sleep. So instead, I decided to take advantage of the little alone time I had while the guys weren't here to please myself. With all my intimate interactions with the guys, I really needed some relief, especially after my back treatment with Theo and him biting me.
I continued to watch the show. A second guy showed up and positioned the girl in front of him. He slid his cock into her with ease before lifting her up. The first guy positioned himself at her backside, preparing his cock with some lube.
He slid into her anus and I lifted my an eyebrow, completely intrigued how they were fucking her so smoothly while also holding her up in that position. Their combined moans got louder and louder and I wondered if they would cum together or separately.
"Celestia."
I flinched at the sound, which was next to my right ear. I whipped my head around to see Orion's calm purple eyes meeting my wide panicked ones. I gawked at him while the video continued, choosing that exact moment to get loud as fuck.
"Yes, fuck me! I'm going to cum! Yes, yes, YE-"
I quickly pressed the button on the phone, closing the app and swung the device to land on Finn's bed.
"Orion! What...how...I didn't hear you...I..." I stuttered, my whole face felt like it was on fire, embarrassed to be caught watching porn.
"I said your name when I entered. You didn't reply,” he replied. He went back over to the door, closing it quietly and locking it. Aww fuck, that's not a good sign. I bet he's gonna lecture me.
I glanced away, trying to avoid his gaze as he returned to where I now sat in just a t-shirt.
I can't believe this. Orion caught me watching porn and I'm not even wearing a bra to hide my damn hard nipples. I might as well been laying naked for his arrival that I was too busy watching a brunette get banged by two hot guys to notice.
I noticed he wasn't in his uniform, just in white jogger pants and a light purple shirt, giving me the impression he must have been planning to train upstairs and came to check on me on his way.
I shuffled off the bed, walking over to the desk to try and distract myself, or at least look busy, which was probably even sillier. I waited for my heart to calm from its rapid pace.
I heard his footsteps approach but didn't move, my eyes glued to the wooden surface of our desk. I didn't know how to confront him after that embarrassing moment. Oh hey, I know you just caught me watching my lovely graphic shows that were unexpectedly at the sex scene part right when you arrived. Totally wasn't watching a two-hour porn movie. Nope. Not at all.
"Celestia," Orion spoke quietly. I wanted so desperately to face him, but I was still trying to figure out a believable excuse and ignoring the fear in my heart that he'd think I was weird for watching porn.
"Blessed Love, turn around please?" he whispered. The desperate plea and use of that familiar nickname were what made me slowly turn around. I lifted my gaze to meet his calm expression.
I didn't understand why he didn’t seem mad or freaked out. He lifted his hand to brush my hair out of my face, tucking a few strands behind my ear before brushing my cheek.
Then he tilted his head slightly and leaned in to claim my lips. The kiss was slow and gentle, reminding me of the first kiss we had back at Old Aslan in the closet.
He leaned back, to stare into my eyes. "Why do you look so scared?" he asked, giving me a troubled look.
"You...aren't you mad...or weirded out about what you just saw?" I blurted out nervously.
"Why would I be mad?" He looked genuinely confused.
"Because...you just walked in on me watching...um..." I couldn't even say the word, feeling ashamed all of a sudden. The only person who knew I watched that kind of thing was Arielle, but she was a girl and didn't think it was a big deal. Being caught by a guy though, felt like I'd been caught sleeping with another person in bed.
"Watching porn,” he clarified and I slowly nodded, looking away. His hand moved down to grip my chin gently, moving my head so I couldn't avoid his gaze any longer.
"What's wrong with that?" he asked. I blinked, opening my mouth, ready to give him the multiple reasons why he could find something wrong with what just happened, but my mind went blank, leaving me speechless.
Orion sighed, removing his hand from my chin so he could slide both hands into mine, giving them a comforting squeeze.
"Celestia. There's nothing wrong with watching porn,” he assured.
"But..." I began, but he quickly shook his head.
"You have needs just like any other shifter. I guess it's kinda of all our fault for teasing you so often, but it's not something you should feel ashamed about," Orion concluded.
"I...but...well... you're not mad?" I asked.
"Nope. That looked like a good one too,” he confessed, his cheeks tinged slightly red from his own confession. I gawked at him, totally blown away that my innocent looking Orion just complimented my porn and indirectly said it was okay for me to watch it. Maybe we'd be able to watch it together sometime? Oh my, that would be hot.
"Where are the others?" I asked.
"Out. The twins know two of Faelia's men who are brothers. They decided to catch up and dragged Finn, Hunter, and Theo along. I told them I'd join them later, but wanted to make sure you were okay,” he explained.
I smiled. "You weren't going to go back, were you?"
He shrugged with a little grin. "Nope."
I giggled, looking into his eyes and lifted my arms to rest on his broad shoulders. His hands landed on my hips and his gaze lowered to my neck.
"Theo's bite still hasn't faded yet?" Orion asked. We'd explained to them what had happened during the exam and how Theo had needed blood or he would have passed out. None of the guys seemed to mind, saying the little mark, which looked like a bat with a heart beneath it, was cute.
It was going to fade anyways so it wasn't a big deal. I did like the placement though, making me wonder if Magnor would be fine with me getting a tattoo in the same spot.
"Not yet. Is it not healing properly?" I asked. I hadn't been paying close attention to it. The area was still sensitive so I tried to avoid touching it unless I was bathing. But Finn had been teasing me all week about it and would purposely kiss the area when I wasn't paying attention just to turn me on; then he would run away. Finn and his damn teasing.
"No, it's fine. It's cute," Orion admitted, lowering his head and brushing over the area with his smooth lips.
I gasped at the touch which sent shivers through me, while his hands gripped my hips slightly, pinning me in place between him and the desk behind me.
"Still sensitive though,” he acknowledged, sounding amused as he pulled back to meet my wild eyes.
"Tease," I mumbled and he chuckled. We shared another look and a thought came to my mind, realizing I had yet to confront him about the marks on my wrist.
"Orion. The marks on my wrist, are they going to disappear too?" I asked. It had already been seven weeks since that incident and the marking was still as vibrant as ever.
"Do you want them to?" Orion inquired. I could tell he was hiding something from the flicker of worry that flashed in his eyes.
"No," I said adamantly. I truly loved them and I couldn't ignore the warmth they sometimes gave me when I needed it the most. "But I want to know what it means and why you called me Blessed Love? You've used that name before...well, you did in my dream when I was trapped back in the washroom at Old Aslan," I admitted, thinking back to the dream in question.
Orion was silent, looking hesitant about the question. He finally spoke up. "It's called a blessed mark."
"Blessed mark? Like how we have blessed lines?" I asked, unhooking my arms from around his neck to point to my spiral lines on my cheek.
"Something like that,” he agreed, speaking in a hushed tone like it was some type of secret.
"What does a blessed mark do? No, what does it mean to get one?" I questioned. I had one on each wrist so it had to mean something. He remained quiet, looking away.
"Orion," I pressed, sliding my hands into his and squeezing reassuringly. I didn't like how scared he now looked, making feel like we'd just reversed roles.
"You'll be mad if I tell you,” he whispered, still not meeting my eyes.
"You won't know that until you tell me and it's a little hard to get upset with you, Orion. You didn't get mad catching your girlfriend watching porn." I mumbled the second sentence and it made him smile a little.
"That's different...and really hot, but don't tell anyone I said that,” he confessed, turning his head to stare into my eyes. I smiled, leaning into him before I went on my tiptoes and kissed him.
He slowly closed his eyes and I followed suit, enjoying the serene kiss that I knew was delaying his confession, but I wanted to give him some comfort so I didn’t mind.
We slowly ended the kiss and he pressed his forehead against mine. "Blessed marks are what a shifter gives to someone they cherish,” he whispered.
My heart melted at his words, making me pull back to stare directly into his purple eyes. "That's so nice. Why would I be mad about that?" I asked, confused.
"Because...well, from what I remember from when my mom explained it to me, a blessed mark is like a bonding. In some shifter populations, it’s referred to as mating. The male initiates the blessed mark on the female he wants to protect and claim as his," Orion revealed.
I blinked and slid my hands out of his to lift my wrists and look between the two markings. "I have two though?" I pointed out.
"I'm aware,” he replied, his face growing even redder.
"What does two mean?" I asked.
"Two blessed marks from the same shifter means the male is giving up his right to marry any other female but the one he marked,” he revealed, waiting nervously for me to respond. I didn't, completely speechless by his words so he continued his explanation.
"The marking in return protects the female in different ways, depending on the shifters and if they're compatible. Some are able to rid darkness or prevent certain powers from hurting you while also serving its purpose to tell other shifters you’re off the market. In alicorn tradition, you give them to the woman you'll marry so other alicorns know she's yours. Only the male can approve of the female being with more than one shifter. If he's comfortable with those individuals, that’s when she can gain blessed marks from them as well."
He took a deep breath and looked into my eyes. "When the Forsaken was trying to overtake you, it started at your wrists. I knew if I did kill it, you'd already be tainted and die by the time the professors got to us. I couldn't afford that. I didn’t want to lose another person I cared about. I just couldn't allow the world to take yet another person I loved away from me. I didn't know how blessed marks worked, but I just wished as hard as I could that I could protect the woman I loved and that I vowed to protect and serve her for all the years I lived on this earth. I didn't think it would lead to being a bonding of sorts, especially the kind resulting in two blessed marks, but in the end, I didn't care. You were alive, not at 100%, but you were breathing and was conscious long enough for help to arrive. I don't know if my actions will backfire later, but I'm willing to accept those consequences when they come,” he concluded.
"But...what would happen if I said I didn't want this?" I asked.
He lowered his gaze and swallowed. "Then I'd protect you from afar. I would let you love whoever you liked. I don't like being in control of who you love, but I didn't know I'd make two markings. But I’d just protect you and watch you be happy from afar,” he confirmed sadly.
I had to pause in my thinking, so stunned by his selflessness that my brain couldn’t wrap itself around the reality of the situation. "Does this mean you'll never be able to love anyone else?" I asked, already guessing what the answer would most likely be.
"Correct. Once an alicorn has proclaimed his love for someone, that's it for them. Our magic is used to create the blessed marks and can be called upon by the female, regardless if she means to or not. The male can't unbind from her or he’ll die. If he's discarded, he'll still protect her until his time upon the earth is over or he dies from loneliness. All types of unicorns need to have some type of purpose in life. If they feel neglected or useless, they slowly spiral into depression and eventually die either because of unknown causes or..." He trailed off.
"Suicide," I whispered, my past suddenly making a bit more sense.
I had felt worthless and decided it would have been okay for me to die because no one needed me. Magnor coming into my life gave me a new purpose and when I became Arielle's Mistress, that gave me another role which helped me accept that I deserved to live.
"Orion..." I tried to think of something to say but was struggling.
He gave me a sad smile before lowering to his knees, making my eyes grow wide in shock. "I'm sorry for taking that right from you. I panicked and instead of telling you right away...I just couldn't. The others kind of know what the markings are but not the full extent of them. I'd done some research and ended up asking Magnor about it and he'd directed me to the right resources to find what I needed. I told him I'd confront you when it was a good time, but then the trials came along and everything has kind of been all over the place. Plus you've been really weak lately and I'm worried it might be because of what I did."
"How could giving me blessed marks be the reason for my exhaustion?" I asked.
"It's just a theory and Finn and I are looking into, but we feel you're still a little tainted from the attack. However, the blessed markings seem to be holding it off. We don't know, because on your examinations, it shows you’re perfectly fine, so my theory could be wrong. I just...want to protect you, Celestia. You’re so kind and you liked me without hesitation. You didn't criticize my hair or the way I dressed. You didn't pester me about what shifter I was or what power I could bring to the team. You just cared...and loved me for who I was. That is more than enough for me to want to protect you for as long as I live. It's not like I have anyone else to take care of,” he whispered, lifting his eyes to meet mine.
I blinked back tears, watching his purple eyes grow glossy. The pain was so strong in those beautiful orbs I just wanted to hug him. And that’s exactly what I did, kneeling down to wrap my arms around his neck and hug him as hard as I could.
I didn't care that my breasts pressed firmly against his chest, or how my shirt barely covered my ass. I just wanted him to know how loved he was, because I knew in my heart I couldn't live a life without him anymore. I wouldn't let him disappear.
"Orion, don't apologize," I whispered and he wrapped his arms around me. We didn't say anything for a long time, just holding one another and listening to our quiet breaths.
I eventually pulled away, sitting back on my heels and lifting my hands to cradle his face, hoping my face showed my seriousness.
"I don't despise you, nor do I hate you for what you did. For you to be willing to give away your rights to love another to save me...that means more than words can ever express. It proves to me that you were willing to sacrifice your happiness for me and I'm so grateful to you, Orion. Please don't go away," I whispered.
He slowly nodded, a tear escaping his eye to land on my index finger. "So...I can stay?" he asked and his voice was filled with such emotion, it felt as if someone was trying to rip my heart out.
"Yes, Orion Meadow, my Orion. You can stay by my side. We can eat cupcakes and you can continue to steal my hair ties. We can keep cuddling and maybe we’ll watch a ‘show’ together." I smiled and he slowly copied my expression with a smile of his own.
"I love you, Celestia,” he whispered, leaning in to kiss me. I responded immediately, kissing him back with force. If it weren’t for my need to respond to his words, I wouldn't have broken the kiss.
"I love you too, Orion."
We kissed one more time before getting to our feet. I leaned against the desk behind me. "So...Magnor was okay with the blessed marks?" I asked, trying to imagine his reaction.
"He knew what they were the moment he saw me carrying you before we entered the portal. I don't know if your father knows what it is, though. Magnor said if you’re fine with it, then he approves," Orion confirmed.
I smiled, feeling really happy by his confession. I didn't mind that Father didn't know yet. It seemed to not matter as much compared to Magnor's acceptance, which sounded bad, but that was honestly how I felt about it.
"That's a little exciting. Wait does that mean we're married?" I asked.
He blushed, looking in deep thought. "Um. We don't really follow unicorn tradition, so let's say not really. Bonded, yes. Married...I'd rather give you a ring first at least,” he mumbled and I smiled at his sudden shyness.
"You’re the best, Orion," I whispered, sliding my hands up his chest and wrapping them around his neck, pulling him down for a passionate kiss. He kissed me slowly at first, his hands landing on my hips and his body pinned me against the desk.
The kiss grew into something stronger, almost desperate, as our mouths moved of their own accord. I didn't think, letting go of my fears and insecurities.
Orion was willing to give up his chance at love with someone else for me. He'd put himself second so I could be his first priority. That held so much weight in my heart that I wouldn't let my doubts stop me from showing him how much I loved him.
It didn't matter if I was inexperienced. I'd just let my body do its own thing, because so far that was working just fine. Each kiss grew more and more intense, and our breathing escalated to panting and gasping as we tried to catch our breath, despite neither of us wanting to stop.
His hips angled forward, pressing his groin against my pelvis. I gasped, but was silenced by his lips once again. In seconds he lifted me up and set me on the desk. I hooked my legs around his waist, my pussy wet and throbbing.
He released my lip to kiss my neck, purposely sucking on the sensitive part where Theo had bitten me, making me moan louder than I expected while my back arched. It felt so good and I was losing myself in the magical bliss, loving how confident and in control Orion was in this moment. It was a big turn on and something I personally hadn’t expected simply because he gave off the innocent appearance. Not like I was one to talk.
He pulled back and my hands unhooked from around his neck, lowering to the bottom of his shirt so I could slowly lift it up, my hands craving to feel his bare flesh.
He lifted his arms, allowing me to pull his shirt up and over his head. He flung it somewhere and let my hands press against his chest, starting at his shoulders and slowly sliding down to his pecs and then upper abs.
His low moan was music to my ears and I grew excited when he placed his hands on the band of his joggers. I unhooked my legs so he could lower the material with his boxers. I bit my lip hard, my eyes focused on his cock which was hard and seemed to twitch at my lingering gaze.
He gave me a moment and I took every available second to appreciate his naked body. I looked up at his handsome face, his purple eyes dark with desire and his lips swollen from our intense kisses. His cheeks were a light tinge of red and his long hair still looked as beautiful as ever. I lowered my eyes to his chest which rose and fell at a rapid pace due to him trying to catch his breath. His smooth pale skin was perfect, with not even a hint of hair on his chest. I lowered my gaze to his lower half and again appreciated his abs before focusing on his long length, which looked ready to slide into me just like they did in the porn shows.
Orion stepped forward, his eyes on my shirt. I knew that the thin white fabric was doing little good at this point, my nipples so hard they poked at the fabric, fully visible and defeating the purpose of me even wearing it.
I crossed my arms and gripped the bottom of my shirt, lifting it up in a slow movement and shivering at the way his eyes trailed down my naked body in worship.
"You're so beautiful, Celestia,” he whispered.
I smiled. "And you're incredibly handsome," I whispered back. His hand reached out and ran his fingers through my locks before gripping my hair gently, stabilizing my head as he pressed his lips firmly to mine.
The fierce kiss took my breath away and in seconds I was in his arms and being lowered to the bed, my head resting on my body pillow.
I didn't know what to think, wondering if we'd go straight into the moment of sex or if we'd have some foreplay to heighten the first experience.
"My instincts are telling me we don't have a lot of time, but I don't want to rush this for you," he whispered, crawling up so he hovered over me, lowering his head to kiss my neck slowly. I moaned, letting my eyes close while my mind tried to focus on his words, instead of his hand that was slowly trailing down my side and stopped at my thigh.
"Then we shouldn't delay. You aren't rushing anything. I feel we'll get the chance to do other things in the future." I purred and he grinned, the confidence in his smile sent waves of warmth through me and made my stomach flip in anticipation for our future activities, but first I had to focus on the present.
"This is your first time?” he asked, and I slowly nodded. A beautiful smile formed on his lips and leaned in to kiss me, giving me a tender kiss before pressing his forehead against mine.
"Then I'll make it as pleasurable as I can," he whispered against my lips. His hand that rested on my thigh moved between my legs, teasing my entrance with his fingers.
I closed my eyes and moaned, spreading my legs wider in hopes he wouldn't continue to torment me, and would slide his fingers inside me. It was interesting how different it felt to have your lover tease you with their fingers than it did when you did it on your own with masturbation.
He didn't delay, my moans and my movement enough to let him know it was okay for him to slide a finger inside my wet pussy. I sighed in relief, enjoying how his finger slid in and out with ease thanks to my wetness. He pumped his finger in and out a few times, testing out if I was okay before adding another finger, which made me moan as I arched my back slightly.
He took advantage of my reaction, lowering his head till his mouth latched onto my breasts. "Ah. Orion!" I whimpered, his tongue tracing along my hard nipple while a good portion of my breast was still captive by his mouth.
His fingers inside me began to thrust faster, pausing every so often to so he could tease my bud with his thumb, making me moan and whimper at the alternating motion. I was getting close, my breathing growing more rapid and my moans more frequent. My pussy began to clench around his fingers, making it feel really tight. He focused solely on his finger movement, releasing my breast and increasing his pace until I couldn’t handle it any longer.
My body tensed as my back arched. I came hard around his fingers which were still deep inside me.
"Wow," I breathed, trying to catch my breath after my explosive orgasm. Orion grinned, slowly pulling out his fingers, which were coated in my cum.
"The way you moan really excites me, Celestia,” he whispered, lowering his hand covered in my juices to his cock, wrapping around it.
He positioned himself at my entrance and I took a nervous breath, my eyes looking up to meet his. "It's going to hurt a little in the beginning, but I promise it will feel good by the end. If you want me to stop, just say the word," he reassured me and I gave him a firm nod.
I knew it would hurt in the beginning, but I was willing to take all of him and was sure he’d make the first experience enjoyable.
He slowly inched his way into me, pausing for a moment at the bit of resistance. His eyes lifted to look at me one more time. I smiled, encouraging him to continue. Instead, he leaned forward, using one arm to hold himself up. He kissed me hard before sliding the rest of the way.
I whimpered into his mouth, the sound muffled as my body grew tense because of the initial pain, but I bore with it, knowing it would pass in a few moments. I focused on kissing Orion, the slow tenderness of the exchange helping numb the pain which was already beginning to dim with each second that passed. Eventually, I broke the kiss, urging him to move.
I wanted this so bad and I didn't want to be interrupted, my body desperate to have this moment with just Orion.
"I'm going to start moving, Celestia,” he whispered, his voice strained.
"Okay." I hummed and he pulled back slowly before sliding inside me. Slowly out, then in, over and over again until I needed more.
"Faster, Orion," I begged, opening my eyes to give him a pleading look, knowing if I didn't he might question if it was a good idea.
He did exactly what I wanted, increasing the pace of his thrusts, which made me moan and groan at the feel of his cock filling my tight pussy, replacing the lingering pain with pleasure with each stroke.
"So good, Celestia. So tight and hot," Orion said with a husky voice as he pumped in and out of me. He ended up leaning back down to kiss me again while our hips continued to move together, and his thrust got ever faster and deeper.
"Does it feel good?" Orion breathed.
"Yes...so fucking good…ah. Don't stop, please!" I begged, not even thinking of what I was saying. I was so lost in the multiple sensations, loving the way each stroke made my breasts bounce and the sound of moans that escaped my lips. It was even more of a turn on to hear Orion's rapid breathing and his moans as he thrust deeply in me.
I was getting close to an orgasm, but I wanted to wait, wanting to hold it long enough for Orion and me to cum together.
"Orion," I begged, gasping. I bit my lip as my pussy fluttered around his cock, my orgasm so close I didn't think I'd be able to hold it much longer.
"I'm so close, Celestia. A bit more." He grunted, his moans growing louder as he pounded into me. His fingertips dug into my skin as he gripped my hips, his cock so deep I could feel the base of his shaft. "Cum for me, my Blessed Love."
One final thrust and the sweet command was all it took to lose all control. I came hard around his cock, crying out in ecstasy. My pussy clenched tightly around his erection and he cursed, shooting his hot cum inside me. It felt amazing and my body trembled so hard before I collapsed onto the sheets beneath me, trying my best to catch my breath. Orion fell forward, using his hands to rest on each side of me, hovering over me while he caught his breath.
His cock was still deep inside me and he ever so slowly pulled out, making me whimper in both pleasure and pain.
"Fuck, sorry Celestia. I lost control,” he admitted. I opened my eyes to see the regret in his expression. I leaned up to kiss him and he moaned in response, deepening the kiss.
"It's fine. That was amazing," I reassured him, using my teeth to tug at his lower lip. He kissed me one more time before he rested on my left side, pulling me into his arms.
"Um...aren't we supposed to do the whole protected sex thing?" I questioned, just now remembering he didn't put on a condom and he'd cum quite a bit.
"Unicorn shifters don't get pregnant the same way as other shifters do. Takes a few times from the same shifter in a certain time span before you can potentially get pregnant,” he disclosed.
"Where did you learn about that?" I asked. He was quiet and I groaned. "Do not tell me..." I trailed off and he chuckled before kissing my forehead.
"One-hour lengthy sex talk with him. He told me if I made you cry, he'd kick my ass and ‘accidentally’ feed me to the Forsaken."
"That's horrible, but Magnor wouldn't really do that." I hummed.
"I won't take my chances," Orion whispered, stroking my head gently. "Get some rest. The guys will be here soon, but the door is locked."
"That's why you locked the door," I mumbled before I yawned.
"Of course."
"Shouldn't we shower?" I suggested.
"Later. We can take a nice bath,” he offered.
"A glitter bath." I giggled.
"Of course. Only fitting for an alicorn and unicorn." Orion hummed.
I closed my eyes, resting my head on his chest. "Night, Orion."
"Night, my Blessed Love, and thank you,” he whispered.
