Chapter 122
The Beast and the Blessed
Seventeen: Joselin
Joselin's P.O.V.
My mind spun, and I couldn't tell if it was from my drink or the man pinning me against the wall. To
be in his arms, house, and bedroom was a dream come true.
I wasn't surprised when Holden told me he could smell Tobias in the bar. I was excited. I knew he
would show up, and the result was far better than expected. His possessiveness was invigorating
and sexy as hell.
Still, as he leaned in and let his nose touch the tip of mine, I was hesitant.
He wanted to reward me, and I was more than willing to accept my prize. But he still needed to
prove that he wanted more than just sex. If I just wanted sex from him, I would have come to him
and cum for him long before now.
"And what is my reward?" My fingers trailed over his peck, and he glanced down briefly as I moved
them up, dipping my fingers up and under the collar of his cotton shirt, drawing circles against his
warm skin
"You'll find out soon enough.â The feeling of him pressing his hardness against me had me licking
my lips as I imagined everything I wanted to do to him. But I needed to stay in control. If I let him
take what he wanted tonight, there would be no guarantee that he would still be interested in the
morning.
"I think it is time for me to be the one who set some rules then,â My fingers moved up his neck and
to his hair. The soft strands slid between my fingers as I balled them into fists.
Tobias looked intrigued, smirking with raised eyebrows as he waited for my demands.
"You can touch me," I whispered, licking my lips before boldly grabbing his bottom one with my
teeth and pulling it softly before releasing it.
Tobias groaned, placing his forearm on the wall next to my head as he leaned into me further.
"You can taste me,â My tongue flicked out, teasing his lips. I turned my head, giving him my cheek
as he moved forward for a kiss. The growl of disapproval he let out made my toes curl in
excitement.
"But you cannot fuck me. Not yet."
Tobias pulled back, looking between my eyes, but he appeared amused. "I agree to your rules. But
know that by the time I am done with you tonight, you will be begging to have me inside you.
When I say no, I want you to remember this moment, sweetheart.â
Well. Fuck me.
I had no doubt that he would stay true to his word.
When his lips pressed to mine, I was lost. Tobias was addicting. He kissed me like I was something
loved, something precious. I had never felt like that before. I never felt as wanted as I did at that
moment.
His hand on my hip moved to my lower back, holding me tightly as if he wanted to enjoy being
close, but I could feel how tense he was. His muscles were coiled beneath his skin, and his erection
was pressed firmly against me.
I would never let it happen, especially in front of him. Still, the relief that the man I loved was
holding me so close and kissing me so tenderly made me want to cry. But I didn't. I refused to.
That would be seen as me being weak, and I already had enough of other people and myself
questioning my strength. It was bullshit to cry with excitement. To me, tears were reserved for grief,
and I was celebrating.
Not even when I had been stabbed did I cry.
Yet, Tobias was my weakness through and through. I could accept that, though. He was worth it.
My eyes fluttered open when he broke the kiss, trailing his lips down my throat. "Tell me,
sweetheart. Did you let him touch you when I wasn't there? lB
His teeth scraped against my throat, and my hands gripped his hair tighter, holding him to me. It
was my sweet spot, and I moaned loudly as he sucked on the skin for a moment as I whispered my
answer.
"No. No, he hasn't touched me since dinner last night." It was a silent beg, a plea for him to believe I
had been good. I wanted my reward.
"Did you touch him?" Tobias's finger hooked under the strap of my dress, and I felt a thrill rush
through me when it snapped back against my skin. The delicious warning of what would happen if I
broke his rules made me curious, and I knew I would be breaking his rules soon if it meant more
time alone with him.
"No."
His lips curled into a smile, and he pressed a long, firm kiss to mine before whispering against them.
"Good fucking girl.â
Tobias grabbed the bottom of my dress, pulling the fabric up and over my head in a swift
movement, leaving me in nothing but my thong. I hadn't bothered to wear a bra as my dress didn't
allow one, and the pained noise of approval he let out as he looked me over told me he was happy
with my choice.
"Get on the bed."
I obeyed, trying to hide my eagerness as I stepped away from him. The loss of his body heat
instantly made me want to shiver, but I resisted. I knew he would already be able to see the
goosebumps along my skin.
My fingers trailed over the bedding as I looked as seductively as possible at him over my shoulder.
My ponytail brushed my back, and I smiled when I found his eyes on my face instead of my naked
body. He would get his chance to explore that later. For now, he looked happy as we made eye
contact.
As I climbed onto my knees on the mattress, I wondered how many other women had been in this
same bed, how many women he was about to compare me to, and whether or not he would find
me wanting. The thought was frustrating, and I did my best to push it to the back of my mind.
It was hard enough knowing that I would never look like them, not with the lines on my body and
the lack of color in my eyes and hair.
"On your back."
I laid back, unable to stop myself from turning my head when I smelled Tobias on the pillow. It
smelled incredible.
I bit my lip as he collected himself, taking his shirt off over his head but leaving his jeans on as he
walked to the foot of the bed. My knees were bent, my heels digging into the blanket. Tobias
grabbed my right foot, carefully undoing the strap that held my shoe on before placing my foot
back down and doing the same to the other.
It was sweet and thoughtful, something I hadn't had anyone else do for me.
His rough and calloused hands began their journey, massaging my calves to my thighs. I knew
Tobias was aware that I was wet and ready for him. I was positive that as he worked his way up my
thighs and I spread them, he could see the evidence of my desire on the fabric there.
I held my breath as I looked down the valley of my breasts, expecting him to continue his journey
up my body. Instead, He stopped, moved back to my knees, and replaced his hands with his lips.
The small kisses and love bites he trailed across my flesh were euphoric, and I couldn't take my eyes
away. I could barely breathe properly.
Never in my life has I wanted someone this badly, and I moaned when he kissed the insides of my
thighs.
"Do you know how long I have dreamed of tasting you, Josie?" His words caused his hot breath to
hit the sensitive skin where my panty line started, and my hips wiggled as I silently pleaded for him
to put me out of my misery.
His hands slid up my thighs, and I gasped as he ripped the fabric from my hips. My hands grabbed
the back of his head instinctively as he leaned in and licked me, getting his first taste at my entrance
before moving up to my clit.
His groan turned me on even more, and my back arched off the bed as he licked and sucked on the
small bundle of nerves between my legs. Waves of pleasure rushed through me, building me closer
with every second.
"Fuck," I moaned, my right hand pulling free from his hair to slide up my stomach and grab my
breast. My nipple sat between my fingers as I pinched it while holding Tobias to me with my other
hand.
The orgasm rocked through me quickly as Tobias continued to eat me out, his mouth going back
down to my entrance before he thrust his tongue into me. I had never felt anything like it before.
"Mh, Tobias," I cried, but he didnât stop. He knew exactly what he was doing and what he wanted.
One of his arms was under my thigh and over my stomach, but his other hand moved from my ass
to join his tongue at my core. As he went back to my oversensitive and throbbing clit, his fingers
circled my pussy a few times before he shoved two of them in me. I cried out in ecstasy, forcing my
hand away from his head to grip the blanket.
"Yes!"
Tobias pulled his mouth away, using the palm of his hand to rub against my clit as he moved up my
body and kissed me deeply. I could taste myself on his tongue, but more so, I could taste him. The
added sensation had me rocking my hips even harder against this hand.
"The sounds you make when you're cumming for me are so much sweeter than I had ever
imagined.â He kissed me again, and I knew he was right about his statement earlier. We had only
been enjoying each other for a few minutes, and I was already willing to throw the rules away and
beg him to fuck me.
"More," I gasped, needing any and everything more that he was willing to offer me.
"Don't worry, sweetheart. Your night is just getting started. I am going to continue to fuck you with
my tongue and fingers until you lose your voice from screaming my name. Your pussy will be mine
before the sun comes up tomorrow. Then, the next time I have you in my bed, I will fuck you so
deep that you can never get my scent out of you, and everyone will know that you are mine.â
