Page 117 of Eternally Rare

“I don’t think I could move anyway.”

Nyx’s knot deflates and he slowly slips out. We moan together, but immediately I want him back inside me.

“I know, My Darling Jewel. I know. Let me go get him.” Black smoke rises from his nostrils. “He’s dancing with Raiden,” he growls, jealousy overcoming his bright amber eyes. “I’ll be right back.” He bends down, crashing his lips onto mine to give me a searing kiss that resonates in my bones.

I moan into his mouth, grabbing at his pants to get them off. I need him.

Nyx breaks the kiss, pressing his forehead against mine, and tries to catch his breath. He lowers my arms to my sides, my fingers slipping away from the fabric of his pants.

“I want you too much for you to kiss me like that,” he thunders, his dragon threatening to burst free. “I will grab our firebond and we will disappear far into the cave until we our lost.”

I nod frantically, taking a deep breath to gather some sort of control. I let the air out slowly, another wave of heat trying to possess me again.

“Go,” I say. “Hurry.”

“I love you, Rarity.”

Tears prickle my eyes as I cup his cheek. “I love you too, Dovenyx. I love you.”

His claws drag across the stone, etching five grooves across the wall setting dust loose. His entire body trembles, flames encompass his body from the lack of control.

“Fuck. Fuck!” he snarls, spinning around and stomping away.

I would laugh if my body wasn’t in so much distress.

“Please, hurry,” I whisper as more of a prayer than to Nyx because he can’t hear me. I slump against the wall, wiping the back of my neck as I sweat. My bones feel like they did when I was young and Dad called them growing pains. It’s an ache that can’t be relieved. My head begins to swim, a throb forming in my temples.

I slide to the floor, lying on my back, and stare up at the ceiling. My chest rises and falls with quick beats of breath. I groan, sliding my hand down my chest. The simple caress is a brushstroke against every nerve-ending. Electricity shoots across my skin, bolts of desperate, unhinged desire lighting fire after fire in my body.

My hand slips between my thighs, my fingers becoming soaked with Nyx’s come as I drag them up my thighs.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

The ground vibrates, shaking the loose pebbles beside me. My entire body freezes. The crazed heat that almost had me out of my mind dissipates. The hair on the back of my neck stands up, my fangs drop, my claws lengthen, and my vision flips red.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

My eyes flutter when dust falls from the ceiling, and I hold a hand over my face to block it. I roll to my hands and knees, the earth still shaking under me. Alarm bells ring in my head, my instincts yelling at me to go to Nyx and Cailian.

On wobbly legs, I manage to stand, the heat subsiding to a dull pulse. It’s manageable, but why? Aren’t I supposed to be overwhelmed with need right now?

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

The cave shakes and the floor cracks beneath me, traveling all the way down the hall. The thuds become louder, closer, and I lose my balance from the force. A deep roar has me covering my ears, and another violent rumble has me losing my footing. I slam against the wall and wait for the tremor to end.

Is this an earthquake? What the hell is going on?
