“Cassidy…” He stroked my cheeks as if he never touched them before.
“I do trust you, Zarion. But... it's just that. I still feel so insecure. She's your mate. Hestia is your sacred mate. Why would Hestia, the reputable Hestia, announce and do that to the whole world? She doesn't have control, of course, because it's the mating bond. No one has control over that treacherous thing—”
Zarion's strong hand gently covered my mouth, silencing my worried ramblings. His eyes bore into mine with unwavering intensity, and I could see the sincerity in his gaze. “Hush, babe. We don't know her ulterior motive. She's not my fucking mate. She will never be. She will never be you, Cassidy.”
His vehement denial surprised me, and I couldn't help but question further, still trying to grasp the truth. “But...why would she say that she's your mate? Why would she kneel in front of you and do those things that clearly signal that she is mated with you?” I asked, my thoughts still clouded with confusion.
“She's not my mate,” he reiterated firmly. “She’s not my mate. She’s not my mate. She’s not my mate…” I looked up at Zarion, searching for any hint of deception. But I couldn’t find any. “I know what I want, Cassidy. And it's you.” His words sent shivers down my spine. His nibbling on my earlobe made it difficult to concentrate. Zarion’s words had a profound effect on me, causing my doubts to fade momentarily. I wanted to believe him, to trust in his love for me. But the situation was so perplexing that I am beginning to suspect his true nature.
“It’s you only, my love. Fuck other women when there’s you.” His bold words made my cheeks flush, and I found myself lost in his gaze, feeling an undeniable connection with this man who had become my everything. Stop doubting him, he loves you!
My mind is telling me that, begging me that.
“If she's truly my mate, it's either I'm going to kill her or just reject her. If I can still contain my anger.” His possessiveness both scared and excited me. It was overwhelming to know that he was willing to go to such lengths to protect what we had.
I took a deep breath, trying to sort through my emotions. Zarion had always been my rock, the one who held me together when everything else seemed chaotic. I knew I needed to trust him now, even if the situation was bewildering. ‘Zarion, I want to believe you,” I inhaled, my voice wavering slightly. “But it's just hard to wrap my head around everything. I'm scared that I'll lose you, that someone might come between us. Brandon, or Hestia, or the Rogues…I can’t bear to lose you.”
Zarion's hand gently cupped my face and he brushed his thumb across my lips in a soothing gesture. “Trust in us, Cassidy,” he said with conviction. “We'll face whatever comes our way together. No one can break us apart.”
His words resonated deep within me. He was right—no matter what challenges we faced, we would confront them united in the end.
I involuntarily closed my eyes when he kissed me deeply. Zarion held my waist and pulled me closer while he was sucking on my lips. Then, he pushed my mouth open with his tongue to explore my mouth. I sucked on his tongue and held his shoulders for support.
“Hmm,” I hummed when his hand traveled from my waist to my chest. He aggressively held my femininity with his hand and massaged it while he was thrusting his tongue inside my mouth.
I moaned when his kisses went down to my neck, and then he sucked on my breasts. I pulled his hair while feeling his kiss on my chest.
“Cassidy…” I gasped as his kiss returned to my lips. I licked his lower lip and pushed my tongue inside him. His hand went down from my chest down to my leg.
I moaned when he caressed my sensitivity with his right hand. “Ah…” I moaned again on his neck when he pushed a finger inside.
“You're already so wet,” he whispered to me. I was not embarrassed at all. So what if I was thirsting over him? I started kissing his neck up to his jaw while his finger was thrusting slowly inside me. I hugged him tightly and stopped kissing when he suddenly sped up the in-and-out motion.
“Zarion—” I bit his shoulder a little when his thumb massaged my clit. He hooked my right leg with his arm so he could spread me wider. I looked down and watched his fingers on me. Zarion was looking at me intently, watching my reaction. I closed my eyes when I felt my release.
“Oh my Goddess...” I let out a heavy sigh. He lifted me up and placed me on top of the table. My robe slid down to my waist while the sleeves gathered near my wrists. Zarion spread my legs with his hands before leaning to lick my insides.
“Fuck,” I whispered and closed my eyes. He pushed two fingers inside me while licking my clit. My one hand was firmly gripping him as he quickened the movement of his tongue and fingers on me. I felt my abdomen twisting in pleasure.
I was so ready for my release when he suddenly stood up. I opened my mouth to complain but stopped when he removed the towel from his waist.
My eyes widened when I saw his shaft fully erected in front of me. Hard and yearning.
I reached for the entirety of him and started rubbing it with my hand. He bit his lower lip, watched my hand glide up and down. I stepped down from the table and was about to kneel in front of him when he suddenly held my waist away from the table.
He pushed my back and bent me over before pushing himself inside me slowly. I moaned so loud that he had to cover my mouth with his other hand. One push and Zarion is now doing me from behind. I held onto the edge of the table while feeling each bump against my back.
“Shh…” He let out a sexy laugh while trying to cover my moans with his palm. I closed my eyes while he was thrusting so hard behind me. One hand moved from my mouth down to my leg. My man massaged my clit while he was taking me from behind, making me crazier and crazier. “Hold on to that release,” he commanded with his husky voice.
I nodded, biting my lower lip. He thrusted faster inside me before making me stand up again. Everytime I tried to stand, he’d go faster and faster. “Please—” Zarion hooked my other leg on his arm again before entering me without warning. I leaned my head on his shoulder while feeling his size inside me. I felt like I was being overwhelmed, but I didn't complain. I never complain when he takes me for a ride…
He carried both of my legs now, so I held onto his shoulders tightly. My back hit the wall as he entered me again fully and slowly pulled away. “Ah, fuck.” I bit his shoulder when he entered me again in an instant before I could draw another breath. It was good, so so good. He began thrusting so hard and fast inside, which made me release another series of moans again. Covering my mouth to keep it from being loud.
“I'm coming,” I licked his hand, begging for more.
“Then come.”
“I’m…coming—”
“Then come for me, my Luna,” Zarion challenged. “Come for me.”
So I did.
