The Beast And The Blessed

Thirty: Joselin

Joselin's P.O.V.

Tobias seemed stunned as we appeared in his bedroom, but I didn't want to go to my tower. It didn't feel right to have this moment in the castle surrounded by untrustworthy people and constant interruptions.

His hard length was pressed firmly between my legs, and I couldn't stop myself from grinding against his cock, eliciting a deep, almost feral groan from him.

Everything was magnified. I could hear my heart pounding, the breath leaving both of our lungs, and even the air conditioning kicking on. But I could also feel the dried sweat and goo on my body from the journey. If I looked down, I would see the remanence of green moss from my fight with the oreads. I would also have dried blood on my thigh from my battle with hunters on the way back down the mountain.

"I need a shower," I whispered, loosening my legs from around him and dropping to the floor with a deep moan of pleasure as he held me to him, his cock sliding against me once more until my feet hit the ground.

Tobias reluctantly let me go as I stepped back, but his burning gaze watched my every move. It was invigorating. His chest rose and fell deeply as he took in long pulls of air through his nose. He could smell it. My desire.

My lips curled up on one side as I basked in his enjoyment of my scent. It was empowering. But it also meant that he could smell everything else on my body from the past three days, which disturbed me.

I bit my lip, tilting my head to the side as Tobias shifted back to his skin before me. The man could put any one of the gods to shame. His broad shoulders were tight and coiled as he stood stiff with his hands in fists at his side.

My eyes traveled down his torso, over his defined abs, stopping only momentarily on his cock. Even in his skin, he was still guaranteed to satisfy. I licked my lips, wondering if tonight was finally the night I would taste him.

His thick thighs were mouthwatering, and I was excited to see how powerful they were.

"Would you care to join me?" I asked, forcing my eyes away but smiling when I entered the bathroom and watched him staring after me in the mirror. He moved forward while I turned on the water to warm it up. When I turned, he was standing with both forearms on the door frame on either side of his head, his eyes locked on my hands as I slowly pulled my shirt up and over my head.

I knew my body was bruised and cut. Healers could have handled it, but I didn't have the time or the patience to deal with them.

"Were you jealous, Tobias?" I asked, dropping the fabric of my shirt to the floor and popping open the button of my jeans. "Do you think I want anyone other than you to touch me, hold me, kiss me...or taste me?"
