Daughter of oblivion: Claimed by four alpha(s)-Chapter 166 - 164: You better not stop halfway… Flame.
Fuck..." he muttered under his breath.
He ran a shaking hand through his hair, fingers tugging hard at the strands as he leaned forward against the lab table.
His chest felt tight, heavy, like he had just dropped a bomb and was now standing in the aftermath.
He hadn’t wanted to say it like that. In fact, he hadn’t wanted to say it at all.
But Rhydric had looked at him like that he already knew something was wrong.
=======================
Athena woke in the middle of the night in Azrael’s bed, his arms wrapped securely around her waist. She turned slightly, just enough to look at him. He looked exhausted. She knew he was. He had been watching over her, through out the week, trying to distract her even when the depression refused to loosen its grip.
It felt strange, not being able to call Oliver.
He was dead. She knew that for a fact, and yet her fingers still hovered over his number, aching to press call, to hear him call her doll one more time.
In just few fays, she had lost everyone.
Leo. Felicia. Levi.
Eryx’s teasing voice, Theo’s calm words,. Rhydric’s stone-cold presence, everything was gone, ripped away too fast for her heart to catch up.
Even with Azrael beside her, she still felt incomplete.
Carefully, Athena lifted Azrael’s arm from around her waist, moving slowly so she wouldn’t wake him. She let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding, then reached for the water jug and quietly left the room, heading downstairs to refill it.
The house was silent. She went straight to the kitchen, filled up the jug, but suddenly, a chill ran down her spine as a familiar scent filled the air.
Her breath hitched. She set the jug down on the counter, then turned around.
Athena froze at the sight of Eryx.
The moment her eyes met his, something inside him snapped. He moved without hesitation, crossed the distance between them in seconds before crushing his lips onto hers.
Athena lost all sense of the world.
The kiss was reckless and hot as hell, like he was pouring every ounce of longing and heartbreak into it. His hands roamed her body, pulling her impossibly close, as if letting go would destroy him.
She was only wearing a thin nightdress, net panties underneath, no bra. There was nothing to shield her from him. Eryx could feel every inch of her soft body pressing against him, as though she were bare beneath his touch.
Athena gasped when he suddenly lifted her and set her on the counter without breaking the kiss.
His hands slid up her thighs, gripping her ass hard, drawing a soft sound from her throat. His lips moved against hers with devastating ease, like they were made for each other.
Athena’s arms curled around his neck, pulling him closer. Eryx responded instantly, deepening the kiss. Without hesitation, he slipped his tongue into her mouth, and Athena let him.
She had missed him too much to deny him. She kissed him back with the same fierce intensity.
One of his hands traced slowly up her inner thigh, and Athena tensed despite herself. When his hand slipped beneath her nightdress and cupped her soft breast, a soft moan escaped her lips.
That sound was enough for him to lose every bit of sanity he had left.
He continued to fold her breast as he kissed her, and Athena couldn’t stop the louder sound that slipped free this time.
His hands felt so good on her boobs, that she was beginning to lose her damn mind.
Eryx’s hand slid down to the line of her panties. He teased her by tugging the fabric slightly, only to let it go.
Heat rushed through Athena as her heart thudded harder. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Without warning, he slipped his hand effortlessly inside her panties, and Athena cried out.
"Ahhh Eeeeryx..."
She was already wet as hell. He parted his fingers inside the fabric, her clit stocked between his fingers, then he lifted his hands slowly as if he was about to take it out, only to slide it back down again. He repeated the motion, savoring every gasp and shudder he pulled from her.
The tease was so sweet, so hot and almost unbearable, that Athena groaned, she broke the kiss, then parted her legs wider on instinct, giving him more access.
The kitchen was softly lit, her could see everything clearly.
Eryx pulled back slightly, slipping his hand out of her panties, and Athena jerked at the loss. He brought the finger to his mouth and licked it as he shut his eyes in bliss.
Athena felt like she was about to die, still she couldn’t help the smile that tugged at her lips. The sight of him licking her wetness was enough to make her drip harder.
He opened his eyes as he removed his hand from his mouth, to take her in fully now, the light revealing her flushed skin and the dark stain of wetness against her red net panties.
His already hard cock twitched hard at the sight.
Athena bit her lip as she watched him devour her with his eyes.
He stepped forward again and pressed a slow kiss to her neck. More heat spilled through her at the contact.
He had kissed her right over the place Azrael had marked her.
Eryx pulled back, his gaze fixed on the faintly glowing rune on the side of her neck.
"Sorry I messed it up," he murmured, staring at her like she was the reasonable thing in the world.
Athena nodded desperately, frustration slipping into her voice when he didn’t continue.
"You better not stop halfway... Flame."
A low chuckle rumbled from his chest. "At your service, princess."
Without warning, Eryx’s hands went to her panties and yanked them down.
Athena gasped.
He lifted her legs onto the counter and guided her back until she was flat against it. Anticipation burned through her as she rolled her hips instinctively, cupping her breasts, her teeth sinking softly into her lower lip.
Eryx dragged his fingers through her slick heat, brushing over her sensitive clit.
Athena moaned his name. "Eryx... please."
His patience snapped.
He gripped her hips firmly and buried his face between her legs.
Athena’s back arched off the counter at the first touch.
"Ahh—Er...yx..."
