Bloom and Destruction (ACOTAR - Elain + Azriel)

Chapter 23

Elain

I do a slow spin for Azriel. His tongue darts out to wet his lips. "Come here," he commands in a deep, husky voice, "now." I take my time, slowly stepping toward him. He reaches a hand out and I take it. "Let me get a better look at you." His eyes darken as I place my hands on his shoulders and settle on his lap. "My sexy girl," he tucks his fingers into the lace covering my hip.

I smile at him as his eyes roam up and down my body. The sapphire lace clings to my body, his eyes twinkling every time his eyes drag over it. "I was thinking," I lean so my lips brush against his ear. "We could try something... fun tonight."

A groan erupts from his throat. "And what would that be, my pretty little pet?" His fingers twirl my hair.

"Why don't you lay on the bed and find out?" I take his earlobe between my teeth. I jump when I feel a hard whack on my bottom.

     One of his arms wraps around my waist as the other grabs my hair and forces me to his lips. "Gladly," he growls as he stands and walks toward the bed. I allow his lips to attack mine once he's settled on the bed with me on top of him. I quickly climb off and strut to the bathroom. When I come out, Azriel is laying propped up on his elbows. "What's that?" He points to my hand.

     I lift my hand to examine. "Oh this?" I dangle it in front of him. "A blindfold and some scraps of fabric to tie someone's hands to the headboard," I snatch them away from his now outstretched hand. "Oh, Daddy," I coo, "they're not for me, they're for you."

Azriel gladly sat against the headboard and allowed me to tie up his hands. I slide the blindfold onto his face carefully and smile. I tuck my fingers into his waist band and slide his unlaced pants down his legs along with his underwear. He groans as I settle myself on his lap, the lacy -almost nonexistent- underwear the only thing between us. I slowly move my hips as my lips trail kisses along his jaw. 

    "Elain," he breaths out while I trail a finger down his chest.

     I place a kiss just below his ear. "Yes?" I whisper before taking his earlobe in between my teeth and move backwards to drag my teeth lightly along.

     "I want to watch you," his chest heaves against mine. I kiss my way down his neck and between his pectoral muscles. "Elain," he pulls at the binds on his wrists. I kiss down the seam of his abs, right down to the deep outline of the V on his waist. I stick my tongue out and flick it around the head of his cock. A deep chuckle rumbles from his throat. "If you don't get this fucking blindfold off me, Elain," he threatens, "I will rip every goddamn thing in this room to shreds while fucking you until you can't move right."

     Butterflies erupt in my stomach as I sit up. I press my lips to his ear. "And if I want that?"

      A grin spreads across my face. "Undo me and find out just what I've been holding back, my pretty play thing," the tone of his voice sends goosebumps covering my whole body.   

     I lift the blindfold off him, his eyes gleaming as he sees me kneeling over his bare body. I toss the blindfold aside before lowering my face back to his fully erect cock. I look up, our eyes connecting as I slowly take him into my mouth. His whole body shudders and he tugs at the binds again. He grunts, throwing his head back against the headboard while I slowly move my head up and down.

     "Elain," Azriel's voice deepens. I look up at him with doe eyes while swirling my tongue around him. "I have to be in you," he bucks his hips toward my face.

     I pull my mouth away. He watches as I crawl up his legs and settle on his thighs. His eyes dart to my hand as he follows it down between us. He breathes heavily, watching me slide my panties to the side and insert my own finger into me. The look in his eye made me slowly stroke myself, knowing just how crazy he was going inside that head of his while I touched what was his.

Azriel let out a loud grunt and I hear the fabric holding his wrists rip. He wraps an arm around my waist and tackles me to the end of the bed. I let out a small yelp as I grab onto his neck. He pulls my hand away from him and pulls it to his mouth. He sticks the finger he watched me play with myself with in his mouth and sucked on it.

"That is mine and you ask to touch yourself, am I clear?" He growls into my ear. I gulp and nod. "Use your words."

"I understand."

An evil grin spreads across his lips. "Good girl."

     "My love," Azriel coos as he drags a finger down the side of my face. I open my eyes slowly. "Good morning, Gorgeous lady," he smiles.

     I rub my eyes as I look up at him. "Hi," I whisper.

     He runs his fingers back up then down my face again. "I've drawn you a bath," he runs his fingers through my hair. I hum softly, closing my eyes again. "Come on, love," he places a kiss to my forehead.

     I groan in protest. "Just a bit longer," I plead, "I am exhausted."

     Azriel sighs, but I feel his weight shift of the bed. I hear him drain the water from the tub and walk back to the room. "I'm going to winnow to the River House, I'll be back in an hour or two, so you can sleep a bit more." He places another kiss to my forehead.

     "I love you," I mumble before drifting back off to sleep.

Azriel

     Feyre and Rysand look at each other, very obviously speaking through their bond. "What?" I snap at them.

     "Maybe she's just on her period," Feyre says a little too quickly.

     Rhys rolls his eyes. "Why'd you say just?" I tilt my head to the side.

     "You know, instead of being ill. Maybe she's just on her period and it's nothing to worry about." Feyre smiles.

     I hum my response, pushing myself off of the chair. "Either way, I'm going to bring Madja with me to check on her," I say as I strut towards the door. I leave the office with a huff. Fucking Rhysand. I roll my eyes and go to find Madja.

Before Feyre entered the study, Rhysand decided it was a great time to lecture me. To sit me down and ask me what I'm going to do with all the responsibilities as High Lord of the Spring Court. I told him to shove it right where he put the remark about me being selfish for loving Elain when she had another mate.

Madja happily agrees to come to the Spring Court for a while to check on Elain. I open the small bedroom door at the Inn we stayed at last night. Elain still lays tucked into all the blankets on the bed, her nose the only piece of her peeking out. Madja follows me into the room and I kneel next to Elain.

"Elain," I place a kiss on her cheek as I stroke the hair away from her face. "Babygirl, Madja is here to take a look at you," I whisper.

Her perfect eyes open slowly. "Hi," she smiles sleepily.

I chuckle, "hi there, precious thing." I lay another kiss on her forehead. "Is it okay if Madja does a quick exam on you? Just to make sure everything is alright?" She nods. I stand and help her sit up against the headboard.

    Madja steps to my side and begins her exam. I stand beside her the whole time. I stare at my mate. My mate. The one I didn't believe I deserved, that even my High Lord believed I didn't deserve her.

Madja steps back, pulling me out of my thoughts. Elain sighs, throwing the covers off of herself. She silently stands and walks to the bathing room, closing the door behind her. I look at Madja.

"She is all right," she places a hand on my shoulder. "Learn to breathe, Azriel. She's a small woman and I doubt you have given yourselves a break since the bond snapped into place. I can smell it in here." I chuckle nervously, rubbing the back of my neck. "You know where to find me if you need anything." She disappeared with a wink.
