Ileus: The Dark Prince
Chapter 377 - Something Sinful

Chapter 377 - Something Sinful

Anastasia gulped as her eyes shot to his face. Her breath hitched and she got up quickly against his protests. The sun was so high up in the skies and she had slept comfortably after a long, long time. It surprised her immensely.

"Slow down!" he grated. He wondered if she knew that she was pregnant, and the thought sliced through him like a double edged sword. What if she compromised her safety? She walked out of the cave as she heard Kaizan chuckling behind her.

"I am so glad that you found us, Ileus," said Kaizan as he sat near the fire and stoked it. The embers flew up a lit and the fire came to life. He hung a skinned rabbit on a skewer over it. "She needs special care. Why can't we go back to Draoidh?"

Ileus took a deep breath and leaned on his outstretched arms behind him. He looked up at the ceiling and closed his eyes. "This is an enchanted jungle, Kaizan. We can't replace our way out so easily. We need one of the creatures who inhabit this place to go back. Only they can replace the way out of Tibris."

"Can't you create portals over here?"

"No, we can't. This place is heavily guarded by strong spells. We can't create portals. You need special permission from the Elders to create portals. Back when I was in the wizard academy, we were made to come here on a task to exhibit our survival skills. At that time the professors had taken special permissions from the Elders to create portals."

"Then let us go to the Elders to get the permission!" Kaizan said exasperatedly. "I want to go back man!"

"I am more desperate than you, Kaizan. The Elders live on the highest mountain peak and I don't even know the way to the peak from here. I can't risk leaving Anastasia alone and you don't know the way. So, for now we are stuck."

Kaizan winced. "Are we stuck for a lifetime?"

Ileus laughed. "No, only until Jun, Ed's pet, comes to replace us. She knows the way out."

Resigned, Kaizan dropped his gaze to the ground. "Then we better hurry up to the fortress. It shouldn't be far from here. I want Anastasia to rest as much as possible."

"Doesn't she know she is pregnant?" Ileus asked, feeling frustrated as to why he didn't reveal it to her earlier. And now if he revealed, it would be all the more risky for her mental health.

"Nope, she doesn't!"

"Damn it!" Ileus said.

Kaizan turned his head over his shoulder and said, "How come the king and queen of Vilinski allowed you to travel alone?"

"They had sent a unit of hundred fae soldiers with me. Aidan and Darla were also there."

Kaiza's eyes became wide like saucers. "Where are they? Are they hiding around?"

"I ditched them as soon as we came out of Sgiath Biò. I had to run fast and they only impeded my speed."

"Damn it, Ileus!"

Ileus shrugged. He got up and strode out of the cave. "We must make it to the fortress today," he said before leaving.

In the cool waters of the pool, she had found a little far away from the cave they stayed overnight, Anastasia felt better. Her body felt like it was on fire. There was heat coiled in her belly and she was clenching her thighs every now and then to stop quivering or stopping something over there. Her muscles contracted and expanded involuntarily as if wanting to hold something inside. Every time she closed her eyes, she could think of his massive shaft that was projecting out of his pants. She was definitely going insane. She whimpered when she opened her eyes and saw those intense golden eyes. She was imagining him now?

"Anastasia?" the golden eyes called her.

Oh, he was really standing there and that too shirtless. She rolled her eyes and turned her back towards him. "Go away!" she said, almost pleading with him. She wasn't sure of herself because she was afraid that she would jump on him to fulfill her desires. Then how would he feel? Until yesterday she was running away from him and within a day, the tables had turned. She lusted after him. "Just go away." She was scared that she might injure him because she wanted to dig her claws in his flesh. She covered herself with her wings.

A warm hand wrapped around her waist through her wings and she whimpered again, as she let him drag her towards him. She sagged against his naked chest. Wait. Had he taken out his pants too? His shaft was taut against her back and she almost cried with need. He curled his fingers beneath her chin and tipped it up. He dipped his head to look at her lips and asked, "Why do you want me to go away?"

Because she didn't trust herself. Her breath became ragged. He lowered his lips to the tip of her nose and kissed it. Every damn thought vanished from her mind. "I will do something sinful, if you don't leave Ileus," she replied.

"I have a fondness for sinful things." His gaze caressed her.

Anastasia smiled, enjoying the cool, sensuous weight of his body against hers. "Don't blame me if at the end of this you feel you are entrapped, Aly." Wait. Aly? Where did that come from? What a beautiful endearment.

He stilled for a moment. He lifted his hand from her belly to the lower swells of her breasts and caressed them. Gods, her breasts felt so heavy and tight. He wanted to suckle them. "I would love to be entrapped, Anastasia." He kissed her eyes. "And I loved 'Aly'." With that he pressed his lips on hers. She was so warm and firm. He kissed her along the shape of the lips and everything else in this world disappeared as she became only conscious of the sensuous strokes of his mouth and the silky touch of his tongue. Her mind became dizzy under his hot kisses as her breath became ragged.

His hand reached to her breast and he started rolling her nipples until they became too sensitive. Her body trembled at the sensation. In her frenzy, she turned to face him and he plundered her mouth, his tongue exploring every corner inside her until she moaned in pleasure in his mouth. She wanted to be closer to him and as if on instinct, her wings curled around him. The next moment, he had pinned her against the rock with his masculine weight. His shaft pressed against her stomach and between her thighs. The heat coiled inside her belly was like a serpent that wanted to uncoil at a serpentine speed.

Amidst his kisses, he murmured, "You are so beautiful… I can't breathe… so strong yet so soft… your curves fill every dip in my body… I think… I think I need more hands to feel you."

Anastasia couldn't believe that she was pressed so tightly against the naked body of a stranger and that she was savoring the feel of his hair on his chest and groin against her skin.. Her core clenched with anticipation.
