Asterion, p.9
Asterion, page 9
Thank the gods.
She really was perfect for him.
“Take me to bed, my mate,” she murmured, and he did.
Carrying her across the lot to the cottage he’d been keeping clean and warm and ready for her return. He undressed the two of them before they even got to the bedroom, but she had other plans for him. Tugging on his hand, she pulled him into the shower. His breathing was ragged as he watched her step under the warm spray of water.
“Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?”
“I’m glad you think so,” she whispered, and took the soap in her hands, rubbing them all over him.
Her hands left trails of fire. So good to be touched, to be loved. And he felt her love inside every single cell. She was pouring it into him, emptying her feelings through the bond they’d created that night when they’d made love. Asterion had not recognized it then, but the second she left, he had felt it for what it was.
“Love me,” he growled, and slipped his hands around her waist, pulling her closer as they kissed, and kissed, and kissed.
“I do. I love you,” she whimpered as he slid his fingers over her slippery skin.
Finding her needy sex, he kissed her against the shower wall and dipped his fingers inside her molten heat. She was so wet, so hot, so ready for him. Fanny grinned and bit his lip, pushing him away so she could turn around.
Holy fucking hell.
She was so sexy, bending over slightly, gripping the metal handle on the wall while her perfect apple shaped ass pressed against his engorged cock. Asterion growled. He covered her hands with one of his, while fitting his dick at her entrance.
“Mine,” he growled and pushed inside.
He was so deep, deeper than before, and her pussy gripped him tight as his Bull took over. The animal wanted him to claim her, and this was part of it. He fucked her in long, hard strokes, touching her in places neither knew existed, if her pants and moans were anything to go by.
Fanny arched, crying out helplessly as he pounded her from behind. It was raw and raunchy, but fuck, he could not stop if he wanted to.
And he did not want to.
“Fanny,” he growled, needing her reassurance this was okay.
“More. Harder,” she growled, and that was all he needed.
He leaned forward, holding her in place with his teeth as he deepened his strokes. Finding her sweet little nubbin with his free hand, he tapped the bud in time with his pistoning hips. Each slide of his dick was bringing him closer and closer to the edge. But he would be damned if she didn’t fly off with him.
“Come for me,” he growled, his teeth still holding her skin.
“Oh fuck,” she moaned as it started to happen.
His Bull snarled at him, and Asterion bit down just as her walls squeezed him tight. Her pussy contracted, squeezing, and milking him as she came apart all over his dick, and fuck, he loved it. Loved that he could make her so hot that he, Asterion, the Minotaur, could feel so good. Her pleasure was his, and vice versa.
When he finally came inside her, shooting his load deep into her womb, he felt his entire body explode in ecstasy.
Fuck, yes, nothing had ever felt so right.
He’d earned her orgasm with every slide and swivel of his hips, and now, he was marking her with his cum.
Asterion turned her around and lifted her under the spray, rinsing them both before he carried them to the bed.
“That was amazing,” she whispered, staring at him with satisfaction shining in her purple eyes. He liked her like that, sated and sexy, but he was nowhere near finished.
“Where are you going?” she whispered as he stood, his prize almost within reach. Asterion bit his bottom lip, eyebrow raised. He gave her his most wicked smile, looking her up and down before he opened his mouth.
“I’m hungry.”
EPILOGUE
Fanny sighed and burrowed deeper into the warmth of her lover’s embrace.
Wait, not lover—her mate’s embrace.
Asterion had made her his, claiming her with his bitemark several times throughout the day and night. Her own inner Demon and Magic had done the same, wrapping them both up in the red flames of her powers and sealing their bond. Now, she felt him always. His pleasure and need, his love and devotion, his hunger, as he called it, whenever he looked at her.
She’d called her parents to let them know, and they promised to visit her and meet her mate after their extended second honeymoon was finished. She’d told them not to rush. He was not going anywhere, and neither was she.
“Mmm, you awake?” he whispered, kissing her gently on the top of her head, making her feel like she was precious.
“Mmm, I was just thinking.”
“About what, my heart?” he asked.
“Nothing and everything. I mean, this isn’t how you planned everything—”
“Fanny, gardens can be planned, but not love. I am happier than I ever imagined.”
“Really?”
“Of course, my love. I have you.”
“I love you so much.”
The next day, Fanny reopened her shop while Asterion tended his fields. She could not believe the work he’d done in just a week. It was amazing, and so was he. After making a few calls to her classes, she was surprised to find Aphrodite and Eve in her store.
“Can I help you, ladies?” Fanny worried her lower lip, unsure of what to expect.
Asterion had started a fight at their Speed Dating event, and he’d basically smashed the Underworld Café to bits. She would not be surprised if there was some sort of lawsuit, or bill, he was responsible for. Well, they did not have to worry, she would take care of it from her meager savings.
“Hello, Fanny.”
“How are things?”
“Um, good. Look, if there are charges for the damage to the Café—”
Aphrodite was smiling at a miniature figurine of a seashell when she looked up, startled. Eve snorted and covered her mouth, shaking her head.
“No, no. Asterion cleared that all up after he moved his funds from Greece to the Underworld bank. He’s loaded, you know.”
“He is?” Fanny gasped.
“Oh yeah, got a deal from the bank to buy this land right out as soon as the lease is through, which he also paid for in advance. He put your name on both deeds, too.”
“What?” Her heart was pounding.
Asterion had done all that for her?
She was so surprised, and so happy, she wondered if her heart would explode from happiness.
Silly sweet Bull.
You are wrecking me all over again.
“Anyway, we just wanted to check in and see that you were happy after the event—”
“What do you mean? Technically, we met before the event,” she said, confused as fuck.
“True,” Eve conceded, gaze flashing to Aphrodite.
“But you would not have known how he felt if not for Speed Dating! So, we are taking that as a win and are claiming you two as another happy couple of our awesome event. You are welcome!” Aphrodite returned, high-fiving Eve and then Fanny.
“Oh, um, yeah. That works for me,” Fanny replied and laughed.
“Now, let’s talk about some cross promotional opportunities. We understand you do pottery classes? We were thinking some Kama Sutra based ones for our clients who need a little help with the carnal side of things,” Eve started chatting, and Fanny was too stunned to do anything other than listen and nod.
The truth was, she could make anything from clay. Teach it too. If these two ladies wanted her to teach a class featuring naughty pottery, sure thing. She had no issue with it.
How could she when they were right?
She might not have found Asterion at their Speed Dating hullabaloo, but he came to the Underworld because of it. That meant she was in their debt. So yeah, Fanny would teach all the dirty statue classes they wanted, and happily too.
The women stayed for a while, and when she waved them off, she realized it was lunchtime already.
Fanny went to fetch Asterion from the garden center he’d created, but he was not there. Frowning, she walked to the cottage and found her big, beautiful bovine was already inside, and he was putting the finishing touches on the table where they ate almost every meal.
“What’s this?”
“Hello, beautiful,” Asterion said, turning around to kiss her quickly on the lips. “Sit.”
She’d been hoping for a longer kiss, but Fanny should not complain. They always had that night.
“I made sandwiches,” he said, and winked, handing her a plate of a daintily cut PB&J.
“You must really like these now,” she mused, taking a bite, and chewing thoughtfully.
“Yes, I do. They are fast to make, though you must eat them carefully so as not to choke.”
“Oh no, did I make you arachibutyrophobic?”
“What? Is that a butt joke, Fanny?” he asked, perplexed.
“No!” She said and laughed. “It’s a real thing—a person who fears choking on peanut butter.”
“Ah, no, not at all. I like these,” he said, clearing their dishes and pushing back her chair before kneeling in front of her.
“What are you doing,” she murmured, gasping as he slid his callused hands up her thick thighs, squeezing the sensitive flesh as he parted her legs.
“As I was saying, I like peanut butter sandwiches cause they are fast, and give me plenty of time to eat what I really want, mate,” he murmured with that sexy timber to his voice she so loved.
“Mine. Mate. S’good.”
Fanny gasped and threaded her fingers through his hair as Asterion showed her exactly how he felt about her. Her insatiable Bull lapped at her slit, bringing her to climax with his expert tongue until she felt boneless.
“Need you,” he grunted, lifting her up, and bringing her down on his hard shaft.
Fuck, it felt so good.
She rocked her hips, loving the way his muscles bunched beneath her hands. His cock buried so deep, she couldn’t be sure where he ended and she began. Love filled her, overwhelming all of her senses as they claimed each other all over again on the kitchen floor.
And as they righted their clothes and washed the dishes before returning to complete their work days, Fanny made a promise to herself. She was going to allow herself to be happy. To embrace this love for what it was, a gift, and to never stop working on it with him. They both deserved the very best from each other. That night she told him so with her words and her body.
“I love you with all my bullish heart, Fanny Meyers. And I promise that even though I might wreck things, I will always be there to pick up the pieces and fix what I break. I will never give up on us.”
“I’ll pick up the pieces with you, mate. Neither of us will ever be alone again.”
