Chapter 766: New Sensations* [Bonus Chapter]

Silas didn’t hesitate.

Before Aeliana could stammer out another defense of her research, his hands slid from her ribs down to the backs of her thighs.

With one effortless heave, he lifted her clean off her slippers.

HUP!

"E-eh?!"

Aeliana gasped softly and clutched the fur at his shoulders as the world tilted.

Silas turned and took two broad strides to the desk, sweeping a stack of manifests and blank papers aside with his elbow.

RUSTLE!

He set her down on the edge of the polished mahogany.

The cool wood pressed faintly through the linen of her skirt and sent a prickle across the backs of her thighs, but the chill was forgotten the instant Silas stepped between her knees.

His broad frame blocked out the gray light from the windows and surrounded her completely in his warmth and the clean scent of cedar.

Aeliana swallowed with her heart fluttering against her ribs like a trapped sparrow.

Her fingers stayed bunched in the dark fabric of his robes while her silver-green eyes darted from his jaw to his lips to the gold rings around his pupils.

’This is it...’ she thought frantically, her ears pinning back against her hair. ’Chapter four of my manuscript... the heroine keeps her composure and takes control before the warlord can touch her... I must stay calm... I must take notes...’

Silas leaned down and rested his left palm flat on the desk beside her hip, his dark hair falling across his brow.

"Still want to go over the theory first, princess?" Silas murmured, a crooked grin touching his lips.

"I am only... checking my observations..." Aeliana whispered, her voice shaking so hard the words barely made it across the desk. "You have to go slowly so I can properly record the—"

Silas leaned in and covered her mouth with his.

CHU!

The kiss started slowly however... It was devastating.

His warm lips brushed softly against hers, still tasting faintly of sweet purple juice.

Aeliana’s breath hitched and her eyelids fluttered shut as a shiver ran down her spine.

She tried to keep her mental notes, tried to remember the exact pressure of his mouth and the rhythm of his breath, but then Silas tilted his head and the kiss deepened.

His tongue traced the seam of her lips until she parted them with a helpless little gasp.

"Mmmh~"

Every bit of her carefully written theory crumbled to dust.

His mouth was possessive and warm... Aeliana’s head swam and the room spun as she melted against him with her fingers tangling into the thick fur of his collar.

She had written so many pretty descriptions of kisses in her secret notebook, all about starlight and blooming lotus petals, but this was nothing like that.

It was hot and dizzying and wet, and it made her whole body feel like it was floating.

Her tongue met his shyly at first, then more eagerly with each stroke pulling a soft needy whimper out of her that vibrated against his mouth.

’Is this... what kissing is?’ she thought dazedly as her toes curled. ’My lips are tingling... my head is so light... I never want him to stop...’

Silas broke the kiss just long enough to breathe with his forehead resting against hers.

His eyes had gone dark in the dim morning light.

"You okay?" he asked softly, his thumb brushing her flushed cheek. "Tell me if you want me to slow down..."

"D-don’t slow down..." Aeliana breathed, her lips still parted and tingling.

He smiled then his right hand left the desk, brushed a strand of blond hair aside and gently closed around the base of her left ear as he stroked it.

Aeliana’s whole body went rigid as if she’d been struck by lightning.

"Haangh~!"

The sharp high moan tore out of her before she could stop it, and her hips jerked against the edge of the desk.

Her ears had always been sensitive.

A stray breeze on a cold morning was enough to send a shiver down her neck, but nobody had ever touched them like this.

Silas wasn’t just brushing them, after all... His warm calloused thumb and finger kneaded the soft outer edge, stroked slowly up to the pointed tip and then pressed firmly at the sensitive root, over and over in a steady rhythm.

"Ahn~! L-Lord Sy...!" Aeliana cried, her fingers digging into his robes so hard the stitches strained.

Her head tilted to the side on its own, baring the long pale line of her throat to him while her hips squirmed against the wood.

It was so intense that tears of overstimulation welled at the corners of her eyes.

’What is he doing to me?!’ Aeliana thought, her mind spiraling. ’My ears... no one has ever touched them before! It feels like warm mana pouring straight down my spine... like every nerve in my body is tied to the tips of my ears! My stomach is so hot... I can’t stop my voice...!’

Silas watched her fall apart, his dark blue eyes glinting with a fond hungry spark as he rolled the pointed tip between his thumb and finger.

’God, these ears are ridiculous,’ Silas thought with a quiet grin tugging at his lips.

He had the exact same shameless fascination with Aeliana’s long ears that he had with Solenne’s nine fluffy silver tails.

...There was something completely addictive about them.

They were impossibly soft, softer than velvet, and the way they twitched and fluttered whenever she got flustered had been driving him crazy for a long time.

Right now the pale skin under his fingers had turned a bright rosy red, giving off a feverish warmth that matched the blush on her cheeks.

Every tiny press of his thumb made the tip jump, and every jump came with another sweet helpless whimper.

’I could play with these all day,’ he thought. ’And she’d let me, too...’

Silas leaned closer, his warm breath washing over the delicate shell of her ear until the fine hairs stood on end.

"You’re being pretty loud for an office with an unlocked door, Aeli," Silas teased in a low rumble. "Your ears are burning up."

"S-stop... stop being such a pervert...! Nngh~" Aeliana choked out, her head falling back against his shoulder as her breathing turned ragged. "My ears are just... sensitive! You are taking advantage of it!"

"You’re the one who wanted the practical lesson..." Silas chuckled softly. "And I’m glad to be your tutor for this lesson heh~"

His hand moved to her other ear, and he squeezed both of them gently at the same time.

SQUEEZE!

"Hyaaah~!"

Aeliana arched right off the desk with her toes curling hard inside her slippers.

Heat pooled low in her belly, so heavy and sweet it was almost painful, and she felt herself getting wetter by the second.

"L-Lord Sy... please..." she pleaded, her voice trembling.

She looked up at him through wet lashes, her silver-green eyes swimming with open adoration.

The last of her royal modesty was slipping away, burned up by a desperate need to be claimed by the man holding her.

"Mark me," Aeliana whispered, the words slipping out before her pride could stop them. "I want you to leave your marks on me, I want Lady Eluned and Lady Morwenna to see them... I want everyone in the Keep to know you made me yours."

Silas’s jaw tightened as the gold ring in his eyes flared bright and without a word, he buried his face in the crook of her neck.

His lips pressed against the soft skin just below her jaw.

He kissed her there then drew the tender skin between his lips and sucked until it bloomed a deep crimson.

CHUUU!

"Nnngh~!"

Aeliana let out a shaky breathless moan and let her head fall back, offering him her whole throat.

The hot stinging pull of his mouth was intoxicating, and each mark he left made the moment feel more and more real.

’He is marking me...’ she thought, her eyes rolling shut. ’Everyone will see... everyone will know... it stings, but it feels so good...’

He left another mark beside the first, then one more on the curve of her shoulder, before he shifted upward.

His lips trailed along her jaw to the base of her left ear and slowly, he parted his teeth before biting down gently on the soft tip.

NIBBLE!

"Haaaangh~!"

Aeliana cried out as a jolt of fire shot all the way down to the soles of her feet.

Her hands flew to the back of his head and tangled in his dark hair, not to push him away but to pull him closer.

His teeth grazing her ear and his warm tongue soothing the sting right after drove her completely wild, stripping away every scrap of restraint she had left.

Between her thighs she was throbbing now, aching for something she didn’t have the words for...

Silas chuckled against her cheek and left one last kiss on the little red bite mark then his hands moved to the front of her white linen tunic.

"Is this okay?" he asked quietly, his fingers resting on the silver laces at her collar.

Aeliana could only nod with her ears twitching.

He loosened the laces with smooth practiced fingers as the fabric parted and slid down over her pale shoulders, pooling loosely around her elbows.

Aeliana shivered as the cool air of the office kissed her bare skin, but before the chill could settle, Silas’s hands were already there.

His large warm palms cupped the soft swell of her breasts, and his calloused thumbs brushed slowly across the sensitive peaks.

"Ahhn~! Oh... heavens..." Aeliana gasped, her chest arching into his hands with her fingers gripping the fur of his robes so tightly her knuckles went white.

The rough texture of his palms against her soft untouched skin was almost too much.

Silas gave her his full attention, lifting and squeezing, rolling the sensitive tips between his fingers in a slow steady rhythm that drew a stream of low whimpers from the back of her throat.

’He is so thorough...’ Aeliana thought dazedly, her lashes fluttering as warmth spread through her chest. ’Every touch is so careful... exactly like I dreamed... Lord Sy is so strong, but he is being so gentle with me. My skin feels like it is melting under his hands...’

Silas leaned down and let his mouth follow his hands, trailing warm lingering kisses down the slope of her chest.

When his lips closed around one of the sensitive peaks and his tongue swirled slowly over it, Aeliana’s whole body jolted.

SLURP!

"Haangh~! L-Lord Sy...!"

She trembled from her shoulders to her heels.

Every pull of his mouth sent a sharp sweet current straight down to her core, and her hips started rocking against the edge of the desk on their own.

"Lord Sy..." she breathed, her voice cracking. "Please..."

"I’ve got you," Silas murmured against her skin, his voice husky. "Just breathe, Aeli..."

He straightened a little, his dark blue eyes finding her flushed face.

He kept his left hand resting over her chest, feeling her heart gallop under his palm, while his right hand slowly drifted downward.

His palm slid past her ribs and over the smooth plane of her stomach, then gathered the hem of her linen skirt and drew it upward until her pale thighs were bare to the morning light.

Aeliana’s breath hitched hard.

Her knees parted slightly on instinct, then a sudden wave of shy panic made her try to press her thighs back together.

...Silas didn’t force her.

He simply rested his broad hand on the inside of her knee and stroked her inner thigh with his thumb until the tension drained out of her legs.

"Look at me, Aeli," Silas said gently. "You said you wanted to feel every single thing, right? The theory and the practice... so don’t close your eyes."

Aeliana bit her lip and forced herself to look straight into his eyes.

Her cheeks were burning and her ears were trembling, but she nodded, her chest heaving with breathless trust.

"I am... I am looking." she whispered.

Silas slid his hand higher, gliding over the warm silky skin of her inner thigh until his fingers reached the heat between her legs.

SHLICK!

"Hnnnngh~!"

Aeliana let out a choked squeal and slapped both hands over her mouth as her hips jerked against the desk.

She was already soaked.

Weeks, if not months of pent-up longing had left her dripping, and his fingers were slick the moment they touched her...

Silas let out a low appreciative hum with his eyes darkening as he began to stroke her slowly, right over the most sensitive spot.

SHLICK! SHLICK!

He showed her exactly how he did it, his fingers circling with slow careful pressure while his other palm rested warm and heavy against her lower belly.

He changed the pace with every hitch in her breath, letting her feel all of it... the slick slide of his fingers, the friction and the heat building and building under his touch.

’Oh... oh, heavens...’ Aeliana thought, her mind going white at the edges. ’It is so different when he does it... my whole body is shaking... it is like warm honey spreading everywhere and lightning at the same time... I can’t think... I don’t want to think...’

"See that?" Silas murmured, holding her gaze. "You don’t need a textbook for this, Aeli... Your body already knows every single page."

"Ahn~! Ahh~! L-Lord Sy...!" Aeliana moaned around her fingers, her hips rolling against his hand, chasing that sweet agonizing friction.

Every nerve in her core felt like it was burning with golden fire.

...Nothing she had ever imagined or written in her notebook came close. It wasn’t gentle poetry at all.

It was a huge wave building behind her navel, growing heavier and heavier with every stroke.

Her toes curled, her thighs trembled against his sides and the starlight in her blood seemed to sing along with his touch.

’I think I’m going to... cum.’
