Roses and Thorns Chapter 10, an a court of thorns and roses fanfic

Chapter 10

Elain woke up in her own bed in the river house, on her bedside table was a note, " you looked so peaceful I didn't want to wake you, I'll see you this evening" Elain smiled down at the note and her heart fluttered, he had stayed with her all night and he must of brought her back her, her roomed still had his scent, cedar and night chilled mist and was still mixed with her honey and rose, she inhaled there scent which sent a shiver down her spine, she could bask in it all day, but she couldn't just stay in her room and wait for him all day, she still had things to do and a load of baking to help the wraiths with that she promised, she quickly dresses and makes her way to the kitchen.

Azriel sat in the sauna with his brothers nursing his head that Rhysand so mercifully used as an ice ball target, yet Rhysand was doing the same, seems they both had the same idea of taking the main competition out which backfired and gave Cassian the chance to win. Even though he wasn't fully annoyed that he didn't win this year he still slightly sulked. " come on Az it was only about time I was going to win" Cassian winks at him " I'm surprised you weren't too exhausted to play, you were almost late" Azriel smirks back at his brother which he replied with a giant grin "what can I say, it would have been worth it if I'd lost again but I didn't", " Cass wasn't the only one up all night now was he Az?" Rhysand gives his brother a knowing smirk and Azriel just looks at his own feet " I couldn't sleep" was all he said, Rhys knew he wasn't one to kiss and tell and plus with Lucien being Elain's mate it was more than a touchy subject.

After spending most of her morning baking many different types of treats for the solstice Elain decides she will take the rest of the day resting, she was rather tired after all, it wasn't like she was used to spending all night glued to Azreil's lips and in his arms, the though brought a blush to her checks, she tries to hide herself as she makes her away to the library, after the things Azriel had confessed and told her about touching herself she realised more than ever how uneducated on the pleasures of the flesh she truly is and was hoping to find one of the books she knew Nesta loved to read in the library, it didn't take her to long to find one, it seemed Nesta wasn't the only one who liked these books as there were a whole section of romance in the river houses library. She scans the titles and settles on one named " his secret romance" the cover looks old and well-read and Elain decides to nest into a chair with a hot chocolate, she reads a few chapters and her whole face and she feels her whole body is bright red by the end of chapter 3, she wasn't expecting the book to be so graphic but she couldn't stop reading, she couldn't help picture Azriel while reading more of the intermate scenes which caused her to start to feel hot and bothered, she surely couldn't touch herself in the library so decided to take the book back to her room and continue to read with her hand gently placed on her inner thigh, she was still too embarrassed to touch herself further, maybe if it was Azriel touching her she wouldn't feel so shameful, she shook her head trying to banish her lustful thoughts, her eyes started to become heavy when she reached chapter 7 and thought resting her eyelids for a moment won't cause any harm.

Azriel returns back to the river house with his brothers, Cassian makes his way straight back to Nesta and Rhysand to Feyra leaving Azriel debating if he should visit Elain, aware Lucien is still here, but Azriel just shrugs and follows her scent as if it is beckoning him to her as it always did, his shadows twirling around the top of his wings as if they are just as excited to see her as he is, as he reached her room door he debated again if he should enter "go on, take her to the town house if your so concerned" they whispered to him, he hated feeling like they were doing something wrong, he tapped on the door gently and as there was no answer he softly turned the handle and entered, her arousal hit him as soon as he entered and he quickly shut he door behind himself, the room was alight as it was still day and her curtains were open, she was curled up on her bed with a blanket pulled up to her neck and a book open in her hand but she was asleep, she must of fallen asleep reading, he smiled at the image, then her arousal hit him again and he stalked over to her "what were you reading to make you so hot and bothered" he said in a lovers whisper and sat on the edge of the bed and pried the book out of her hand, his eyes widen as he took the first few sentences in " he thrust his throbbing cock into her wet centre with speed" he tried his hardest not to chuckle but she quickly caught his attention with a low moan of his name, he turned his head and noticed her eyes were still closed and a flush was across her cheeks, she was having a dream about him. He leaned down and kissed her cheek "I'm here princess" he purrs and she sleepily opens her eyes, he smiles at her "good dream?" he asks with a knowing smile, her eyes widen and her blush spreads "better know you're here" she shyly replies as she starts to sit up, he takes her face in his hands and gently kisses her which she happily returns, " I missed you" she says while he pulls away " clearly" he says showing her the book he knew she was reading, she looks horrified and utterly embarrassed, it was so easy to make her so flustered and she looked utterly desirable he couldn't help himself " t-that's not mine….i I um was just looking" she tries to get out " seven chapters of looking I see, seven chapters of throbbing cocks and wet centres" he smirks down at her as she positively glows with embarrassment, he doesn't think it's possible for her to turn anymore red, "anything you find interesting in here hmmm?" he purrs into her lips as he kisses her hungrily as he moves his body over her and she leans back down allowing him on top of her.

His lips taste so good she can't get enough of him, she moves her hands into his hair as she kisses him, his hair is soft and she entangles strands around her fingers, she feels her body wanting to be touched but she doesn't know how to ask him to, she knows she can't ask him with words as they just wouldn't come out right, he breaks away from her lips and starts to kiss down her jaw line to her neck and she softly whimpers under his soft kisses, " A-Az?" " yes 'kiss' my 'kiss' love?" "I-I still 'gulp' can't ummm touch".

Her confession causes a seductive smile to spread on his lips as he knows what she wants him to do, he moves his head back up to her lips and kisses her deeply, their tongues embracing together. He gently pulls the blanket from her body so it's no more separating them. With one hand holding himself up do he doesn't crush her under his build he gently and slowly moves his other down her body, he caresses her neck them down to her collarbone, he places the palm of his hand over her dress where her breast is and moves his mouth away from hers "if you want me to stop at any moment tell me" he looks down at her, and her eyes are so lustful its painful for him to restrain himself from going further then just touching, she nods slowly up at him " I trust you Az" he swallows and finds it hard to breath from her trust in him, he will never break that trust. He cups her covered breast which causes her to moan softly and palms where he knows her hard nipple is, he pictures taking that nipple into his mouth but knows she's not ready for that yet so he places his lips back onto hers as gentle as he can in this situation, he moves his hand further down and he feels her tense under him slightly, he reaches her thighs and slowly starts to pull her dress up, her kiss back becomes more frantic, he quickly pulls away wanting to see her fully as he touches her, he runs his hand up the outside of her thigh and softly grips, she gasps from the tensity from soft touches to a grip and moves his hand over so it's on the inside of her thigh and with the help from his own knee and his hand the gently moves her legs apart, the whole time his eyes on hers and her adorable face "please kiss me Azriel" he crashes his lips down onto hers from her pleading, he feels her hands dive into his hair pulling him into her me, his already hard cock throbbing against his leathers and he grinds himself against her leg for any type of release from the ache, while kissing her he slowly moves his fingered up the inside of her thigh causing her to whimper until his fingers are a fraction away from her knickers and he pulls his mouth away one last time " are you sure?" he can feel the heat on his hand from her arousal but he wants her to answer not just her body "please" she almost begs him to touch her.

Elain can't take it, she needs to feel him against her most intermate areas, she needs him to pleasure her, " please pleasure me Az" she can't believe the words she is saying, how much she wants him andhow much she needs him, she feels the soft touch of his fingers against her underwear which causes a gasp of pleasure from her, her whole area tingles just from the slightest touch, she is so sensitive, she moves her legs up slightly and further apart to give him better access, her body is fully under his control. She feels him softly rub again but longer and further against her; she moans from the friction.

Her knickers are soaked and he can feel the shape of her sensitive nerves fully under the soft fabric, her moans are like music to his ears and he watches her face as her eyes start to close from the pleasure, he knows he can give her much more intense pleasure if she allowed his to touch her fully " does this feel good princess?" he purrs into her ear "oh yes" she moans her reply, her hands in his hair start to grip hold of his hair causing a low predatory growl deep down in him to escape "Elain" she says her name warningly " don't grip me too tight or I won't be able to restrain myself" she moves her hands from his hair " I'm sorry, I can't control myself" " hold onto your pillow if it's too much" he smiles down at her as she does so and brings his lips down onto hers. He feels her body start to tense and he starts to rub faster.

She tightly holds onto her pillow and her moans start to get louder into his mouth, she can't control herself, she feels a strange sensation in her lower area like a build-up of something that she's never felt before, her body starts to become tense without her trying and the pleasure starts to become more intense, she gasps and Azriel pulls away from her, his face full of lust and desire " I-I feel strange" so confessors and he softly bites the lobe of her ear " cum for me princess" his words are her undoing and she feels her body release, his lips are back on hers before her loud moan fills the room, her back arches and her toes dig into the bed, she feels something constrict inside herself and the whole room starts to spin, her vision goes slightly black from the intensity of her first orgasm, once her body starts to spasm from Azreil's rubbing he moves his hand from between her legs and removes his lips allowing her to catch her breath.

He watches her cum for him and he feels himself pulse just from watching her cum, he knew if he was rubbing himself at the same time he cum along with her, the look on her face as she came was the most beautiful image he has even seen, he had dreamed about that look but it was far more beautiful in person, he brought his hand up to his face and inhaled the scent of her juices that were on his fingers that had seeped through her underwear, she smelt so good and then he sucked on his finger, his hips buckled as his tongue wrapped around his own fingers, she tasted divine, it was too much, he needed to feel realise "fuck Elain you taste so good" he saw her blush spread across to her ears and could tell she was starting to get turned on again "id do anything for just a taste" he growls into her ear, " I want to make you cum on my tongue, my fingers and my cock" he buries his face into her hair grinding against her more, anything for some friction.

She needs to make him feel how he just made her feel, she wants to pleasure him "Az…..can I touch you too" her tried to sound none shy and maybe it was due to her own release but she didn't feel as awkward asking him such things, his only respond was a heated sigh against her neck and his hips buckling again, she gently placed her hands on his chest to softly push him off her and onto his own back, she leaned over with him looking into his eyes, he was so flustered he looked adorable to her, had anyone ever seen him look like this, his eyes gazed into hers and she leant down and kissed him. She leant on one of her arms and used the other to stroke down his body, feeling what she could of his chest through his leathers, his hands were in her hair and on her arm gently stroking, she desperately wanted to see him undress but she didn't want to ask him to if she wasn't ready to bare herself to him, her hand reached the top of his pants and she lazily run a finger over his waist belt which he replied with a growl into her mouth. She took a breath and let her hand run lower until she could feel his bulge. He moaned as her hand grazed the top then she pulled her mouth away from his so she could watch his face as she touched him. She ran her hand down the full length of his bulge gently and her eyes widened as she felt how far his length reached, she couldn't help herself but to have a quick peek, she gasped at the sheer size of him, even though his leathers his member was still enormous, she gulped and brought her eyes back to him, he must of seen the shock in her eyes as he chuckled "don't worry ill go gentle" he said teasingly, she ran her fingers back up his bulge a little harder this time so her could feel her through his leathers this time, which caused a whimper to escape, he was under her mercy, she wondered how much of her teasing he could endure before he couldn't take it anymore, so knew it was dangerous to push him to much, she grinded her palm into him causing friction all the way down him, he grinded his hips into her palm as If he couldn't control his body, she could tell her like that so she did it all the way back up, she spread her hand fully over the width of him and continued to put pressure as she moved up and down his pants, each time applying a little more pressure and slight sleep, she watched as he bite his lip and his eyes closed and he started to make the most beautiful groans as she continued to pleasure him. The sight of him acting and looking the way he did was making her aroused again and she wanted to feel the pleaser with him, she couldn't control herself and she found the courage to straddle him while her hand continued to rub him up and down.

His eyes shot open as he felt her body shift and climb on top of him, he swallowed and shoved his hands into the pillow behind him, he didn't trust himself to touch her, he felt as she shifted her body un him until she was sat on his bulge " Elain are you sure about this" he wanted her to be sure but he had to know from her, she nodded down as him and trusted her hips causing a soft whimper from her and him, he slammed his head back into the pillow and griped as hard as he could, she slowly started to grind her body on top of his and he could feel his release starting to build, he shoved him own hips into the mattress trying not the roughly thrust up into her, she started to move her hips faster and grind harder into him "you're going to make me cum" his voice was so gruff "please Az let me make you cum" how could he turn her down? His hands betrayed him and they grabbed her hips, she deeply moaned from his touch and he couldn't help the grin appear on his face, he rubbed himself against her matching her rhythm, she started to moan and he held his own realise wanting her to find her own again " cum with me Elain" he could feel from how frantic her thrusts were becoming she was on the peak of extasy again, her back aches as she starts to cum and she screams out his name and he lets himself cum beneath her groaning her name with her.

Her whole body becomes limp and she collapses on top of his panting, she feels his arms wrap around her holding her tight against him while she still straddles him, he moves her hair out of her sweaty forehead and kisses it, she can feel his heart pound along with her and she looks up and him and they both start chuckling, they laid there for some time in each other's arms and Elain found herself starting to fall asleep on him, he soothingly was stroking her hair which was just making her even more sleepy. She found herself asleep on top of him before she felt his hand gently tap her own the back " Elain" he whispers into her ear and softly kisses her cheek while she slowly opens her eyes looking into his, "its time to wake up, dinner wont be too long and we should probably clean ourselves up" he nuzzles into the crook of her neck and she blushes realising what he means " I have no issue smelling your cum, but id rather the others not scent what belong to me" he licks up the side of her neck which sends shivers down her spine causing her to blush more.

He manages to flip them both over so he is now on top of her and breathes her in as he inhaled into her neck "although, I also wouldn't mind staying her with you instead" his voice husky and he can feel his cock becoming hard again, he hears and feels her giggle under him and her hands softly press on his chest attempting but not with effort to push him off "I think the others will come looking for us if we don't turn up" her reply was soft and innocent but he could tell she also shared the same idea as he had "I have nothing to hide being in here with you" he chuckles into her ear as he playfully takes her earlobe into his mouth and gently bites causing a soft whimper to come from her "Az… we have to"he dramatically sighs and moves off her playfully folding his arms. He feels her trying to push him out off her bed " go, I cant get changed and stuff with you here and you need to clean up to" he sees her eyes look down at the wet patch on his leathers from his cum and her wetness and he sees her slightly lick her lips "you little minx" was his only reply as he gets off her bed and sees her face become more flushed, "will you stay with me tonight?" her eyes are full of want and innocent, he knows she just means sleep but he knows he will struggle vastly to keep his hands off her "of course, I will stay with you whenever you want me to" he sees her smile sweetly at him and he leans down and gives her a heated kiss before leaving her room.

Elain lies on her bed a few more minutes smiling to herself, she can't remember when she last felt so content, she scooches off her bed and makes her way to the bathroom and runs her bath, she leets the hot water ingulf her body as she washes herself, she pictures Azreil's hands as her own and cant help but wish she didn't send him away but she feels too shy for him to see her bare yet, what if he doesn't like her body, what if her hips are too thick or her breasts too small, she sinks under the water trying to banish her insecurities, she emerges and finishes cleaning herself. She leaves her bath and wraps herself in a robe and enters her bedroom again, the scent of him engulfs her and wraps around her comforting her, she sanders to her wardrobe and pulls out the dress she had already picked for the solstice dinner, she wonders if Az would like it, if he even liked the clothes she wore or if he found them girlish and un flattering, she never really dressed to look sexy or desirable, she always felt uncomfortable when she had tried it just wasn't her, she loved the more elegant and cute style and realised she really didn't fit in with everyone else but Az still wanted her, the things he had confessed to her she remembered and it started to melt her worries away as she dressed herself and did her hair.

Azriel finds himself sat next to Cass with a seat spare for Elain, Rhysand had told him Lucien had left this morning but didn't tell him why or that Lucien and he saw Elain and he last night so Azriel had no idea they knew, it wasn't unusually for Elain to sit next to him and he tried to wash her scent from himself while he bathed not that he was trying to hide it but he didn't want Lucien to know, not that Azriel cared what he thought but he didn't want it to be a issue or cause Elain and pain and plus the though of Lucien and Elain together made him sick so he couldn't imagine how Lucien would feel and with Feyra and Rhys having a tough time with her pregnancy he didn't want to make things more stressful, so he decided he let people find out on their own about his relationship with Elain. The first thing he noticed was how happy his brother Cass looked and that he was holding Nesta's hand under the table, he guessed she had finally accepted the bond and was thankful he was staying with Elain rather than going back to the house of wind, if they'd accepted there bond then he never get any sleep, its not like they were quiet before but know it'll be even worse.

Elain elegantly sits in the chair next to Az and softly smiles at Az trying to hide her blush from his smile back, "you look beautiful" he whispers into her ear which makes her blush deepen and she hopes no one notices "he's not here so you can relax more" she knew who he was referring to and let out a breath, she was happy he wasn't there, she wasn't looking forward to telling him when she got the courage that she has rejected the bond, as her mind wondered she felt Azreil's hand place on her thigh and he gave it a little squeeze which caused her mind to leave the though of Lucien and wonder onto Azriel, she looked up at him and he gave her a small smirk before his face returned to his usually emotionless posture, he looked so different then when they were alone together, she had noticed months ago he let his guard down around her, it wasn't until now that she understood, she placed her little hand on top of his a squeezed gently.

As the night drew on and everyone became more merry he noticed Elain barely touched her drink but that wasn't unusual for her, after Rita's he doubted she would drink more then one glass again, he barely touched his own, he needed to be in control of his senses if he was spending the night with her, he noticed her become more withdrawn from conversations with the others and he knew as soon as Feyra went to bed Elain would allow herself to, usually Elain went before anyone else but since he found out Feyra is with child he noticed she would go to bed after her, he had in fact noticed this before he found out but didn't know why at the time, Elain must of found out before them, he was right five minutes after Feyra withdrew Elain did, he caught her eye contact as she was leaving and he gave her a knowing smile and a nod that he would see her again soon which only made her cheek turn pink, he smirked to himself and continued his conversation for a few more minutes before yawning and stretch, making an excuse for retiring that he was exhausted from not sleeping the night before and there annual snowball fight, but from the looks both his brothers gave him he knew they didn't take the bait and as Rhys whispers into his head "let the little lady sleep" he knew his brother knew were he was going, " I don't know what your implying" was his only response as he wished everyone happy solstice and good night.

Elain quickly changed into her nightdress not sure how quick Az would be, luckily she managed to change without him walking in on her, she climbed into bed and waited but her own exhaustion got the better of her as soon as she placed her head on her pillow she fell asleep, she didn't hear that a few minutes later Azriel had come to her room and noticed she was asleep sighed lovingly at her, she didn't see as he striped his clothes off apart from his underwear and didn't feel as he climbed into bed and cuddled into her back with his arms around her and buried his head into her hair breathing her in as sleep took over him, she didn't know that this was also the most content he had ever been.

he dramatically sighs and moves off her playfully folding his arms. He feels her trying to push him out off her bed " go, I cant get changed and stuff with you here and you need to clean up to" he sees her eyes look down at the wet patch on his leathers from his cum and her wetness and he sees her slightly lick her lips "you little minx" was his only reply as he gets off her bed and sees her face become more flushed, "will you stay with me tonight?" her eyes are full of want and innocent, he knows she just means sleep but he knows he will struggle vastly to keep his hands off her "of course, I will stay with you whenever you want me to" he sees her smile sweetly at him and he leans down and gives her a heated kiss before leaving her room.
