Violet Dreams

Chapter 31

Nyx was sure he looked like nothing but a doormat to this heavenly woman as he knelt down on one knee to untie her shoes. But he relished every moment. Arabella had practically dragged him into a random guest room by the tie around his neck. He did nothing but follow like a dog on a leash.

"Nyx, you're taking too long", she practically hissed.

"Yes, ma'am", he replied smirking as he discarded her shoes to the side of the room.

Nyx rose to his full height, only a few inches taller than her, but the way she looked up at him almost had him on his knees again.

"The dress", she said sternly.

Mother above, Nyx was already hard in his pants. He walked behind her slowly, taking his time to absorb her presence. Was he a little annoyed Arabella had brushed him off earlier? Yes, but he knew her, he knew she hadn't meant it. At least, he certainly hoped it was him who was causing her to send araousal down the bond. Nyx gently held onto the top of her zipper.

"Are you sure?" He asked calmly.

"Yes I'm sure, now hurry the fuck up, Nyx".

He smirked, "I do love it when you say my name".

And slowly, he dragged the zip down her back, relishing in every hitch of her breath, every squirm. When he'd finished, Arabella still held her dress against her body, Nyx allowed her to take her time. She turned to him.

"Put a silencing spell on the room", she said quietly.

He raised an eyebrow but did as she wished, also making sure the door was locked. Loyal dog, that was what he was. But fuck, it was taking all his willpower to restrain himself as she slowly lowered her dress. As the golden and glittery folds of her dress fell around he feet, Nyx swallowed thickly.

"Don't look at me like that", she muttered.

Arabella was in nothing but a pair of black lacy underwear.

"Like what?" He said breathlessly hardly being able to move his eyes to a more appropriate place.

"Like I'm amazing".

"But you are", he said softly resting a hand on her waist, his other one travelling to her jaw.

She shook her head, "I broke your heart five minutes ago, and don't lie, I could feel it down the bond".

Okay, so maybe Nyx had been a little butt hurt that she'd practically rejected him in front of the whole of Prythian. However, while he felt pain he also had confidence in the fact that this wouldn't be over for them. Besides it's not like she'd snapped the bond in half, so he was okay.

"Arabella", Nyx purred, "you are amazing, I would let you break my heart for centuries if this was the outcome".

She rolled her eyes as she slowly began unbuttoning his dress shirt.

"Arrogant bastard", she whispered more to herself, a blush taking over her features.

"Your arrogant bastard", he corrected smoothly as he shrugged off his jacket and shirt.

Arabella's hands traced the tattoos on his chest and slowly made their way down past his abs and to the zipper on his trousers. Nyx was watching her closely, looking for any sign of doubt or regret. Gods he needed this but he wouldn't risk her position in her own court for one night of pleasure. As she reached for the zip, Nyx grabbed her hand, pausing her actions.

"I have to ask", he said, his voice clearly strained, "if we do this, am I sacrificing your safety?"

Arabella's sinful eyes looked up at him, "I wouldn't of asked if I thought it would, I can cover my scent".
