Chapter 190 - Separation Anxiety, Finric Shadowclaw Edition

The moment her lips met his, something ignited. What started as a tender kiss quickly deepened. Fin angled his mouth, his hand sliding up to cradle her jaw, and parted her lips with his.

The second her mouth opened to him, a groan slipped from his throat—low, needy, possessive. 

His tongue brushed hers, slow at first, then more demanding, more desperate. The world narrowed to the taste of her, the feel of her pressed against him, and the way her breath caught when he deepened the kiss. 

He moved his hand down her back to her waist, reminding himself she was real. He couldn't get enough of her. She was his.

 It wasn't just longing—it was days of pent-up need, guilt, love, and raw ache bleeding into every movement. Her fingers gripped the front of his shirt, anchoring herself to him as she kissed him back, matching the intensity, losing herself in it. The matebond sparked like a live wire, electricity arcing between them.

Nova pulled closer, one arm looping around his neck while the other slid into his hair, fingers threading through the soft strands.

Before she realized what was happening, she was on their bed—flat on top of Fin, their bodies flush. He had stood up mid-kiss, arms locked around her, and moved with Alpha speed so fast she didn't register it. 

Her body started to move in rhythm with his. Like they belonged together. Because they did.

Then, she let out an involuntary moan. Fin stiffened for a split second, at the hint of arousal on her scent. His eyes turned golden and he lost control. He flipped their positions with effortless strength so she was pinned beneath him. 

His mouth devoured hers, nipping at her lower lip before trailing hot kisses down her neck, sucking hard enough to leave marks. Fin's eyes flickered back to hazel, as he pushed his wolf down.

"You're mine," he whispered against her skin.

Instinct took over and he sucked his mark on her neck. Her body immediately responded to it. He felt the sensation through their mate bond and something about it also made him also come undone.

She moaned again and he could feel her arousal building. He could barely contain himself. He wanted her. All of her. 

"Fin…" She moaned, as he stopped sucking her mate mark and kissed her collar bone. He ripped her top – Elle's silk tank – completely off in one fell swoop, revealing a black lace bralette under.

"Wait! That's not mine..." She exclaimed, trying to push him off of her. He allowed it, pulling his shirt off in one quick motion. Before she could say another word, he was back on top of her at alpha speed, lips pressed against hers. 

For a second, she forgot that he just ruined Elle's silk tank. He kissed her mark again, then started to suck on it again. She groaned. His kiss traveled to her breasts, before he ripped her bralette in half. 

"Fin! Don't –" Nova started to say but she couldn't finish that thought. His lips had found her nipple and he began to suck on it. First soft, then hard. His teeth grazing it tender just enough to sting. His hand traveled down her body to the sensitive area between her legs. He ripped her pants in half, impatient that they were even there. 

"Fin those are –" Nova started to protest again, but before she could finish her thought. His lips found her mark again and she forgot what was happening around her. Again. She felt his skin pressed on hers, the sparks everywhere, and it felt so good. 

She tried to sit up, to take off her boots, but he held her down, still sucking on her mark. She didn't realize when he did that, it was affecting him too. Turning him on equally as much and he couldn't stop. Wouldn't stop. 

"Fin — I have to take off Elle's boots." She tried to say. But he kept sucking it, not responding. She kicked both off with some struggle. Luckily they were slightly too big so she didn't have to unzip them. 

He ripped off the remaining part of her pants. Then he ripped her lace thong, throwing it off the bed. Before she could protest, he went back to sucking his mark on her neck. His body pressed onto hers and started to move. The sensation of her skin touching his, and the way her body responded to his, all of it overwhelmed him and he let out a groan. He was fighting the urge to mark her again.

Before she realized what was happening, he pulled his pants down slightly. Not having the patience to remove them. Unable to wait. And he entered her. Without warning or a single word.

He had been hard for two days and his body took over. Nova's body jolted in pain and she gasped, because he was very large. It hurt and she wasn't ready for it. She stiffened under him.

He thrusted upward again. Unable to stop or let her adjust. Unable to pull down his own pants. His body started pumping into her. Each surge into her, was him releasing pent up emotion, guilt, longing. He couldn't take it anymore. 

 "Gods you're so tight…" He moaned. 

Then her body started reacting to him before her mind could, moving in rhythm with him. The friction that bordered between pain and pleasure, started to build into an unmistakable heat. A moan escaped from her lips.

"Fuck, why do you feel so good." He said through gritted teeth, more to himself. 

Her breath hitched as she trembled on the edge.

"Come for me." He snarled in her ear. Almost a command. Her body responded to his dominance. 

She gasped. Her heat spasmed around him, milking him as waves of ecstasy ripped through her. He felt her through the matebond and followed her over the edge with a guttural roar, his cock pulsing as he buried himself deep and flooded her with hot spurts of cum. 

Fin didn't stop. He kept thrusting through the aftershocks, his cock throbbed for her still and he was already building friction anew. His mouth claimed hers in a bruising kiss as he fucked her harder, chasing the next peak.

Nova's body responded to his every move. Every command. All of it, whether she wanted it to or not. 

"You're mine." He whispered in her ear feeling her heat building again. 

As the heat built, her core tightened more around him, which sent him over the top. She felt him cum through their matebond and she came undone. 

Her second orgasm hit them like a storm. She moaned as her body writhed under him, causing him to cum again for the third time.

"Gods.. " he whispered. Sweat dripped from his brow onto her skin, their breaths mingling in ragged pants. He kept going. Unrelenting, his dominant drive pushing them toward the third. His pants were still on.

By now, his thrusts grew wilder, more animalistic, his teeth grazing her shoulder as he drove into her with savage force. Nova felt her wolf pushing forward. 

"Yes," he urged, eyes gold. Those words made her come undone and she started to feel heat building within her core different than last time. More intense. Her eyes turned gold.

Just before she reached her peak, his jaws clamp down on her mark in a possessive bite, drawing blood. Her wolf surged, and sank her teeth into the base of his neck, tasting his essence.

Pleasure exploded through them, an endless torrent from venom entering each other's bodies. The heat reached its peak. He felt her orgasm through the matebond just as he started to release. 

Their bodies writhed together for well over a minute, his hips bucking frantically as his cum gushed into her. 

Panting and Fin gently pulled out of her and licked her neck.

Then, they both fell unconscious.
