The Beast And The Blessed

Five: Tobias

Tobias's P.O.V.

This was not how I had pictured it. Having Joselin on top of me, pleasuring herself by grinding on me. I had wanted her for so long... even when I shouldn't have. Even when it went against the will of the Goddess.

She had always been on my mind. She had always been the most beautiful, funniest, and most brilliant woman I had ever met. What she was offering me was a dream come true for any man.

"You don't want me to seduce you?" Joselin repeated without emotion as her hips stilled and her hands lifted from my chest. Her body was tense, and she lifted herself up until she hovered over me.

She looked horrified, and my grip tightened, wanting to pull her back down and show her just how much I was enjoying myself. But I respected her decision to stop and let her move away.

This wasn't what we needed. No matter how much I wanted it, it wasn't what I needed.

She quickly climbed off my lap until she was standing in front of me. Joselin lifted her elbows as she wiggled her hips away from my grip, not wanting to touch me more than she already did.

"No. I don't think we should fuck right now, Josie." I stood slowly, my heart hammering in my chest as the Goddess before me as she placed one hand on her head with a frustrated groan.

'I have been throwing myself at you for months. Months! I have been humiliating myself trying to get your attention! You should have just told me to stop if you didn't want me. Why didn't you say something?" She bent over, collecting her clothes from the ground and holding them over her exposed body.

I growled lowly as she pulled her shirt on, covering her perfect, perky breasts and the curve of her waist.

I stopped when she turned her head to the side, showing me her cheek when I was only a centimeter away. Every contour of her body was flush with mine, but her arms hung limp at her sides, and the interest she showed before was
