BLOOD BOUNDED - THE SHADE - English - Castlevania Lords of Shadow (fanfic) PII

Chapter 27

A whinny made Marie look up. Her smile widened as she brushed the mud off her dress and walked away from the garden. Her apron was abandoned on the grass on the path to the entrance.

"Gabriel!"

Noticing her, his expression brightened, rejuvenating his handsome face, despite his three-day beard, which had grown since his departure.

"My love!"

As soon as he got off the horse, she threw herself into his arms. Just as smiling, he lifted her up on the scales and kissed her, with that passionate thirst they both share.

"I missed you so much, my Marie." He searched for breath on her lips.

"Every moment I long for your return, my Gabriel." More kisses accompanied whispers of affection.

"I need you." He growled under his breath, clinging to her heat. "I can no longer wait."

"Me neither. I long for you so fervently."

Another animal sound left her throat and she lost track of time. From the moment he held her in his arms and carried her to their doorstep, her mind was a blur of emotions and caresses. She was dimly aware of having lost her dress and undone the straps of her armor, only to fall onto the bed and receive the heavier weight of the man, sinking hers.

Skin to skin, she cried out with each touch, driving her over the edge several times, not letting her free. That master knew each of the weaknesses that made her go crazy until it was her turn to return such favors.

With a gasp from her hungry lips, she welcomed him intimately, the ache of emptiness filled by his ample length.

"That's it." He said against her mouth, the smell of the forest impregnated in his sweat. "This is where I belong." His eyes, ice blue, kept her still despite their desperate union. "Every space of my being only exists to pay tribute to you. I have to survive my combats to come to die in this sacred temple." His hands were rubbing gently from her hips to her ribs, up and down. "What about you, my love?" He took her cheek. "Who do you belong to?"

"To you." She didn't doubt. "All of me, you can have it."

"Yeah." He wrapped his fingers around each of her wrists, as he would hold the fragile stem of a rose. "I must claim it." He pushed inside her, snatching a moan from both of them. "Just me." He pushed again, with each sentence. "Only mine. Only yours. I... No one else..."

She stopped listening. She limited herself to shuddering with each thrust, until they became harder, faster... She responded to him, without restraint. Wishing for more.

I will kill.

For a moment, her mind landed.

"Gabriel?"

"... Whoever... separates you... from me... I will rip... their neck... will bleed..."

"Gabriel, what's going on?"

Something was changing, as he spoke. His tanned complexion paled until she could see his veins underneath. His hair grew and darkened. With horror, she observed that the hands that held her sprouted dark claws. And his eyes! Good heavens, his eyes! That red radiated a hunger that had nothing to do with human's.

"Gabriel!" Tears flowed from her eyelids.

"MINE!" His roar made everything around them vibrate, while his fangs descended and he retook his possession. This time, harsh, possessive.

Wild.

Her screams were also no longer human. Powerless and out of control. A mixture of unusual feelings that she was not able to decipher. Among the mist, she discovered fear, towards this new creature. The pain, because her husband was no longer with her. But above all, the wildest desire that this creature caused her.
