Page 65 of Unmasking Her Shadow

Sam

I’m in love.

So madly, deeply, crazy in love. We’ve spent the past week with each other every single day and night. Me getting to know her and her making it clearer daily that she knows everything about me. My past, my habits, my favorites, and all of my little quirks. It’s going to take some time catching up, but time is all we have. I ask as many questions as I can and pay attention to everything she does. She’s able to bring Shadow out to play now that Nyx is getting used to her. However, she cannot wear the devil mask without angering Nyx and almost getting bitten.

It’s fun living with her, but I’m not sure if I want to leave my house or not, even though hers is bigger. For now, she has some of her things here, and I have more of mine there than what she had already stolen. She’s becoming not only my lover but my best friend. We laugh together, cook together, shop together. A relationship has never been this stress-free before. She knows what I want or need before I voice it. Which has a lot to do with her stalking my every movement for months, but nevertheless, it’s still handy for me. I don’t have to ask for space, for her to pick up after herself, a random hug, nothing… she just does it. Every single time.

I certainly never have to ask to feel good. Although sometimes I have to beg for the torture to end. Like now, but I have a gag in my mouth, so my pleas sound muffled and slobbery. She installed hooks in my ceiling for a torture device. I’m dangling mid-air, spread out, gagged, and restrained with a vibrator on my clit that just…keeps…buzzing. Every muscle in my body aches, and I keep screaming, but she won’t turn it off. No…she’s watching a movie in bed while I’m actively coming all over myself and feeling like I’m going to die from climaxing too many times. I was having a blah day and said I didn’t feel pretty. I’ll never say that again unless I’m sex-deprived.

Finally, she pauses the show and comes to stand next to me, pushing the damp hair off my face. It’s hard to see her through the tears.

“You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on,” she says softly, wiping drool off my chin with her thumb.

I nod as fast as possible, agreeing with her.

“Are you going to be a good girl now?” I nod again, mumbling “Yes,” but it only comes out as an incoherent sound.

I sob when she stoops and laps at my entrance while the vibrator forces another orgasm from my body. She lowers my bottom half, drops her shorts, and positions her pussy over mine, allowing the vibrator to claim us both. I use what fleeting strength I have left to pull myself up to watch and then drag my eyes up to her face. Her lips are parted as she watches herself grind against me, the small vibrator between our clits. It’s too much. It’s too m-much I scream behind the gag, squirting against her. The liquid making her glide easier as she comes with me.

She untangles herself from me and finally turns off the vibrator. Never in my life would the sound of no buzzing excite me so much. I’m dead weight in the harness. My body can’t take consciousness anymore. Ki helps me out of the contraption and carries me to the tub, bathes me, dresses me, and tucks me against her in bed. All the while, my eyes remained closed.

I’m orgasmed out. World—off.

We both jolt awake in the middle of the night to the sound of growling and Nyx pacing from window to window.

“Stay here,” Kioni orders, grabbing her gun from the stand next to her and checking every inch of my house, both inside and out. Nyx stays by me the whole time and even lets Ki pet her when she returns to the bedroom, as if thanking her for heeding her warning.

“I’m going to look through the camera footage.” She grabs her laptop and climbs into bed. Then every angle of my yard is on her screen.

I lean over to watch, too. “Are you ever going to give me access to those?”

“Not now.” She’s in beast mode and it’s so fucking hot, but I know better than to interrupt her right now.

Watching the footage makes my eyelids grow heavy. I start drifting back to sleep with my head resting on her shoulder and petting Nyx until Ki speaks. “I didn’t find anything. There was a glimpse of a shadow, but it wasn’t enough for me to identify it.”

“Maybe it was an animal or something,” I suggest, snuggling back into my spot.

She twists her mouth in thought, looking to Nyx. “She’s smart. I don’t think she would growl like that for nothing.”

“What about for a coyote? They aren’t super common around here, but there’s been sightings before.”

She closes her laptop and places it on the stand next to her gun. “Maybe.” Nyx moves to our feet but stays on the bed. “She’s still trying to protect you,” she points out exasperated, opening her arms for me to cuddle with her again.

“She’s always trying to protect me.”

“Stay at my place tomorrow, please.” It’s not a suggestion, more of a command with a please at the end.

I place my hand on her cheek, turning her face to me, and kiss her. “We’ll stay at your place tomorrow.” My body goes into a comatose mode again when I’m wrapped around her. She’s always so warm and comfortable. “Good night,” I whisper.

Kioni does another swoop of my property before determining it’s safe for her to leave the next morning. She has to leave before me most of the time. I walk her to her bike, and she dips inside my robe to hug me. The warmth I get from her is better than any piece of clothing I’ve ever worn. I hum happily, returning her hug and smiling against her neck. “I love you.”

She pulls back and cradles my face in her hands, her eyes searching mine frantically. “I love you,” I repeat, loving the way her face lights up when she hears it.

“I fucking love you so much,” she replies so surely, like this is the moment she’s been waiting her entire life for. Her lips collide with mine until we are breathless and our lips are swollen. “You can’t tell me that and expect me to go to work. How can I leave you right now?”
