Gwyn opened her eyes to the morning light, blinking against the bright glare passing through the unfamiliar window. She purred as she tucked herself deeper into Azriel's body that was wrapped around her. She began to remember the night before, smiling to herself as she recalled Azriel's tender thrusts into her. She slightly stretched her body; she was sore but content.
Azriel felt movement in his bed, which was very unfamiliar to him, and he pried an eye open to see Gwyn curled under his arm. Azriel exhaled, nuzzling against the top of her vibrant red-haired head.
Azriel felt unbelievably relaxed with Gwyn in his arms. It had been a long time since he had gotten a good night's sleep. He had been so hung up on his guilt about Elain for almost an entire year. He often had woken up in the middle of the night and had to go exert himself in the training ring to get the nervous energy out. This was different.
Az had rarely felt truly relaxed throughout his entire life. His childhood had been brutal enough that most days, he had still felt on edge, awaiting a new torture. But the feeling of his body simply pressed against Gwyn's elicited a calmness that Az had never experienced with a female.
Gwyn and Azriel's eyes met and they both immediately were paralyzed by shyness. Gwyn smiled slightly at Az and he pulled his mouth to kiss her soft, freckled cheek. Gwyn giggled and pulled her hand to his face softly, nuzzling her nose into his and moving her mouth to kiss his. She couldn't get over the fact that Azriel had such silken, plump lips; Gwyn wanted to keep her lips pressed to his for the rest of her life. Azriel deepened the kiss, again moving his deft tongue into her awaiting mouth. He caressed her tongue with his, grazing her lower lip with his teeth as he pulled back slightly.
Gwyn breathed, "I want you again, Az."
Azriel moved his body atop Gwyn's, her creamy, freckled skin glowing in the morning sun. He reached between her legs, drawing circles with his scarred fingers around her clit before delving his fingers inside her. She was drenched already. Azriel growled into her mouth and she reached down to pull his already hard member toward her center. Azriel took hold of his thick, lengthy cock and rubbed it all around Gwyn's awaiting sex.
Gwyn moaned loudly as Azriel used one hand to hold her lower lips open and slowly slid in his head. She grasped his broad shoulders, digging her fingernails into his beautiful, tattooed flesh, prompting him to delve deeper inside her. Az thrusted into her halfway, a loud moan escaping his lips. He kissed Gwyn again as he contracted his abdomen, moving his hips until they pressed against Gwyn's body.
She moved her hands to his muscular buttocks, squeezing as he thrust inside her, forcing his length deeper inside of her. Gwyn pressed her lips hard against Azriel's as she felt every inch of him, all the way to the hilt. She had never felt so close to another person.
Azriel and Gwyn both felt it as electricity begin to form tightly between them. They couldn't deny the bond that was becoming taut as they consummated their mutual feelings.
Azriel pulled back until he could see Gwyn's awed expression and he smiled broadly at her. He was not afraid of the feelings he was allowing to consume. Gwyn grinned back at him, tears beginning to form in her blue eyes. She was overwhelmed with what she felt, but she couldn't help but grasp his beautiful, sculped face and kiss his awaiting lips.
Azriel moaned into Gwyn's mouth, letting himself go against her pliant body. He felt her clenching tightly and releasing her orgasm and he couldn't hold back the yell at the feeling that released out his lips.
"Gywn," he cried, as she grasped him tighter and he burst inside her. He finished his final thrust as he looked at her awaiting face. Her face was flushed from the pleasure that had consumed her entire body.
Gwyn grinned before pressing her lips to his cheek and tightly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Azriel twisted, pulling Gwyn so that her lithe body was perched on top of him. He panted as he came down from his release, pressing his head back onto the pillow. Gwyn disentangled herself from him, sitting upright and looking down at the carved planes of his face.
His hazel eyes were gleaming up at her as she said, "I have to get back to the library, but I wanted you to know that last night was…and this morning…" She didn't know how to verbalize how much joy and fun she had not only just spending time with Az, let alone the sex, which had ignited a fire in her.
Az cut in, "It was perfect," a light blush spreading over his cheeks.
Gwyn got dressed, and after Az flew her back to the library. They had awkwardly hugged goodbye, but before Gwyn had twisted the doorhandle, Az found the courage to say, "I'd love it if you'd come with me to a party at the river house tomorrow. Only if you're comfortable with it, of course."
Gwyn bit her lip, nervous excitement surging through her stomach as she nodded emphatically.
Az smirked shyly. "I'll pick you up at 7 then."
Gwyn stood outside the library entrance, attempting to still her mind with her steady breath. She looked down at her silky, light blue dress that she had altered to look different than her usual robes or Illyrian leathers. She had another priestess help her create a crown braid with her fiery locks, allowing the back of her hair to cascade down her shoulders while pieces strayed out of the braided front and framed her face.
Gwyn definitely felt excitement, but the nervousness of going to the river house for the first time and being around Azriel with his family made her stomach drop. Thankfully, Nesta would be present. Nesta looked surprised but grinned at their training earlier this morning after Gwyn told her Azriel had asked her to come with him. Gwyn hadn't told Nesta yet about her night with Az, but she expected that Nesta just thought they had become friendlier due to their time in the training ring.
Gwyn sucked in a breath as Azriel appeared before her, his impressive wings beating slower as he lowered himself to the ground. She felt her body begin to buzz with electricity as he shyly walked up to her, holding out his hand to her. She pulled her hand out to meet his and he squeezed gently.
"Hi. Are you ready?" Az quietly asked.
Gwyn's mouth twisted into a smile as she realized that Az was probably even more nervous than she. "Of course. Why else would I be waiting outside even before you arrived, braving the cold?"
Az huffed out a laugh, pulling Gwyn into his arms as he launched them into the sky.
Azriel had flew them halfway to the house when he grew brave enough to be honest with Gwyn about tonight. "Thank you for agreeing to come with me. As much as I love spending time with my family, they get a little over the top whenever there's a celebration. And it is technically a birthday party."
Gwyn's eyes lit up as she replied, "oh, okay." Then she noticed the way Az's body tightened and she continued, her eyes narrowing playfully, "It wouldn't be your birthday tonight, would it, Azriel?"
Az blushed and furrowed his brow as he nodded down at her.
Gwyn's mouth went agape and she poked him in the chest. "But I didn't get you a present! You should have told me!"
Az couldn't help but laugh as he noticed the way Gwyn's nose flared when she got angry.
"Don't laugh at me!" Gwyn cried, "now I guess I'll have to get creative…"
Gwyn adjusted herself in Az's arms and moved her mouth up to his neck, kissing the hollow area where it met with his chest. Then she lightly drew her tongue up the column of his neck.
"That was a preview."
Azriel's eyebrows raised as he immediately understood what kind of present Gwyn was referring to. He looked down at her beautiful, cunning eyes and dipped his mouth to press a soft, tender kiss to her rosy lips.
Az pulled away in time to notice their destination and he descended until his feet hit the ground below, right into the garden at the river house, outside the back entrance.
He set Gwyn down and moved his mouth to brush the shell of her pointed ear as he whispered, "I think I can get through this party now with just the thought of how I'm going to thank you for your present later tonight."
Az had never said anything so bold to a female, but with Gwyn it just felt right. He noted how she bit her lip and her eyes widened as he took her hand in his and led them into the house.
Gwyn smiled shyly as she saw all of Azriel's friends. Nesta ran over to give her a hug and her eyes widened as they passed over Gwyn and Azriel's joined hands.
"Happy birthday!" They all cheered as Az entered the house.
"Let me get you a drink!" Nesta exclaimed as she pulled Gwyn away from Az to the kitchen.
"What didn't you tell me?" Nesta continued, her brows furrowing, "are you two fucking?"
"I…We…I mean, yes but I wanted to tell you! I was just waiting for a better time…" Gwyn blushed deeply as she sputtered out her words.
Nesta pulled Gwyn into another hug. "Oh, thank the mother! Honestly I'm just glad you two are having fun."
Gwyn felt relief in her entire body as she let Nesta's words sink in. She grabbed a flute of champagne and downed the entire thing. Then she picked up another, as well as one for Az. Nesta burst out laughing and led her back to the party.
Azriel grazed Gwyn's hand as she handed him the glass, meeting her eyes and giving her a small smile. She was so beautiful that he sometimes didn't know what to say when he was in her presence.
"Thank you," he murmured into her ear, once again grazing her earlobe with his lips.
Gwyn shuddered and bit her lip as she pulled away from Az and had to steady herself. Had they not be in front of his entire family, she would rip his clothes off right now and ravish his taut, muscular body.
Az was lost in Gwyn's gaze when suddenly he felt a hand on his elbow. He turned and couldn't hide his surprised expression as he beheld Elain.
"Happy birthday Az, sorry if I'm interrupting."
Az forced himself to smile as he replied, "thanks, Elain. It's good to see you."
Elain's eyes moved to Gwyn, and she smiled at her. "Hi, I'm guessing you're Gwyn, it's nice to finally meet you."
Gwyn smiled and nervously replied, "it's nice to meet you too, Nesta has told me a lot about you."
Elain huffed out a laugh. "Well I appreciated you for being such a good friend to Nesta, from what she's told me about you, you are an angel."
Gwyn blushed at the compliment. She nodded at Elain as she walked away to a red-haired male near the fireplace.
Gwyn and Azriel talked, drank, and danced with his family all night. Late into the night, Azriel took Gwyn by the hand and pulled her into his arms, dancing slowly to the music playing on Nesta's device. Gwyn laid her head against Az's broad chest and breathed him in. He kissed the top of her head.
"Are you ready to go to bed? Feyre said that she set a room for you upstairs" Azriel asked, nuzzling his nose into Gwyn's fiery hair.
"Only if you're sharing the room with me."
Gwyn pulled her head back and looked deeply into Azriel's hazel eyes. She allowed the desire to burn and hoped Az noticed her scent intensify. She burned for him, and him only.
Az's mouth pulled into a half-smile, and he grasped her hand and led her upstairs. The room was beautiful; a large four poster bed sat in the center, and a large bathtub sat in the corner of the room.
Gwyn allowed Az to shut the door and turned her body towards him. She let go of his hand and moved her hands around the back of his neck and pulled his face towards hers, kissing him deeply. She let her tongue make its way into his mouth, grazing across his teeth and meeting his, dancing across her tongue.
"I want to give you your present now, please." Gwyn pleaded as she pulled slightly away from Az's sensuous mouth.
Az nodded and softly hissed his reply. He dragged his scarred hands down Gwyn's back, settling at the lower section and softly squeezing her hips.
Gwyn pushed him onto the bed and slowly began unbuttoning and pulling his slacks off, making her way to slide his tunic up off his abdomen, over his shoulders, and past his head. She threw his clothes onto the floor and began to explore him with her mouth, flicking across his nipples as she made her way across his expansive chest. Az greedily tore at her dress, ripping it open and pulling it down her shoulders.
A blush spread across his cheeks suddenly as he heard Gwyn's moan as he grazed his hands down her bare stomach. The feeling of her mouth across his entire body was intense.
He cried out as Gwyn's lips grazed the head of his cock. He huffed out a breath as she repeatedly licked around his head and made her way up his shaft, not missing a single inch of his thick member. Gwyn wet her tongue before swirling it around his head and pulling him into her awaiting mouth. She allowed him to explore deeply down her throat before pulling back and sucking him softly and taking him far into the back of her mouth again.
Azriel growled loudly, grasping at Gwyn and finding his hands deeply twined in her ginger hair. Gwyn moaned against his cock and Az shuddered at the feeling.
"Gwyn, I want to ravish you, please," Az murmured as he clutched the back of her head.
Gwyn pulled her mouth off the length of him and grinned as she moved up his body and threw her arms around Az's neck and kissed him deeply.
"I want everything you have to give me," she breathed against his plump lips.
Azriel moved his mouth to Gwyn's jaw, nipping below her ear, and kissing down her neck, drawing his tongue up the column of her neck before kissing the hollow at the top of her chest. He moved down her chest, sucking and nibbling on her collar bones. He dipped to her breasts, sucking hard on her awaiting nipples.
Gwyn moaned loudly as she felt Az's teeth graze her left nipple. She arched into his mouth and huffed out a breath as she felt Az's hands cup her ass, gently squeezing. He kissed down her to her stomach and his lips met her center. She gasped as he swirled his tongue around her bundle of nerves. He continued, moving back to her center and circling his tongue across her lower lips and exploring deep into her. She laid her head back and murmured Azriel's name as she felt pleasure pulse deeply within her core, radiating out across her entire body.
Az kept teasing Gwyn with his tongue until she shuddered below him, her orgasm shaking her entire body under his strong hands and deft tongue. Az looked up into Gwyn's eyes as his tongue made it's was up her center and he grinned at her furrowed brow. He moved his mouth up her body, kissing her deeply as his rock-hard cock pressed against her thigh. She lightly pressed her hand against him and grazed the tip against her drenched lips. Azriel growled against her lips as he felt the wetness on his cock.
Gwyn pulled her mouth to Az's and drew her tongue across his teeth as she slowly sat deeper on him, allowing him to get all the way inside her. She moaned against his lips as she felt his hilt against her. She twisted her hips as she moved back and forth. She danced on Az's hard length, pulling her clitoris to touch his pelvis as she curved her hips to press her center deeper against his.
Az growled against her lips and twisted her body until her was on top of her. Gwyn looked into his hazel eyes as she asked him, "will you bend me over?"
Az twisted Gwyn and pulled her deeply against him as she sank into her, stilling once he his pelvis hit her bottom. Azriel moved slowly but allowed himself to hit hard every time he stilled against Gwyn's skin. He moaned loudly as he made his way softly into Gwyn and hit himself against her skin, pushing into her with pressure as she dug his hands into the front of her hips.
"Baby, can I kiss you while I'm inside you?" He whispered with his lips against her ear as he pulled particularly deep inside her.
"Yes, please," Gwyn begged as she twisted around, slipping her legs far apart to give Az unlimited access to her sex as she moved her hands to pull his lips to hers.
Gwyn was out of breath as she felt Az move his length deeply inside her and began pumping his cock in and out of her. She pulled her legs tightly around his waist and tightened her legs around his waist as he moved into her.
She groaned as she felt the friction of his cock against her awaiting center. Az looked into her eyes and growled, slowing his thrusts as he focused on rubbing against her awaiting body. He continued until he felt Gwyn clench tightly against him and throw her head back.
Gwyn gasped as she came, exclaiming "I'm coming for you Azriel, come for me," as she shuddered against him.
Azriel kept dipping deep inside her until he lost himself and spilled himself into her, his lips finding hers and pressing deeply against the softness awaiting him.
Az pulled out of her and lay next to her shaking body, kissing her jaw, up her cheek and finally settling against her forehead. He tucked his arm under her breast, across her abdomen and pulled her close against him.
He murmured against her forehead, "was that good for you?"
Gwyn pulled back slightly and found her lips against Azriel's, softly caressing his smooth mouth as she said against him, "yes, all I want is you, Az; I need you against me all the time."
She snuggled her face and body against him and fell asleep soundly to his soft breaths.
