He scrunched up his cute button nose, blushing at the compliment, before a thought seemingly popped into his head. “Oh my God, I wonder if we could use my magic in the bedroom! Why have I not thought of that before? I bet there are specialized books on the topic. It would totally heighten the sensations, and be like an extra set of hands.”

The thought stirred me. Tendrils circling my cock, stroking me as I fucked Luca with my tongue. The fizz of magic tickling my skin, adding vibrations to each twist from hilt to tip. A devilish expression gradually spread over my mate’s face, and he drifted toward me, rising on his toes to loop his arms around my neck.

“Does that turn you on?” he purred, already knowing the answer. “I could restrain you, have it bind your arms and legs while I had my wicked way with you. I am pretty powerful, you know. You wouldn’t be able to move.”

His sultry tone and teasing smirk had heat rising in my belly. Had we the time to play out his fantasy now?

As we’d discussed, I hadn’t fully taken him after our interruption in the stables. We’d used our fingers and mouths when the need became too much to bear, even rutted against one another in the hallway whenever his father and Flick left for a stroll in the woods. But I was aching to sink my cock into the hot clutch of his body. To bury myself in the spot created only for me and claim him again, over and over, until he could only babble an incoherent chant of my name.

Now that I felt more comfortable within myself to take that step, it was a challenge to resist the delicious little creature. Especially in instances such as this, where he’d do whatever he could to torment me. However, I knew that waiting until we could go for days uninterrupted would be worth it.

That didn’t mean I couldn’t have a taste.

“I would be amenable to that.”

To my utter dismay, Luca chuckled like a little shit, and retreated. The impulse to reach out and haul him back flared in my gut. To pin him against the wall, tug down his trousers, and use his thighs like a sleeve, but I refrained. Only just. “I mean, I might singe your dick off by accident because I’m not totally confident in my abilities yet, but it would absolutely be worth a shot.”

Ice water trickled down my spine, and my cock rapidly deflated. “Hm, perhaps stick to your lessons, pet. We can keep it in mind for the future.”

He shrugged casually and went back to packing as if he hadn’t just propositioned and cockblocked me in one fell swoop.

Brat.
