Besides, she deserved a decent orgasm after everything she’d been through.
And I was a decent enough bloke to give it to her.
“You taste incredible,” I murmured, my mouth still going to work on her as I stared at her breasts and her flickering eyelids. I reached up and pinched her nipple, and she cried out, her hands fisting the sheets.
“I wish I could see you,” she said on a moan when I swirled my tongue in a big circle, sliding over her folds.
“Imagine it in your head,” I replied huskily. “Think about my face, what you think it looks like. Think about my mouth on you, my tongue …” I trailed off, groaning. I was going to make a mess of the sheets. She was just so fucking sexy.
“Oh, God,” she moaned, and I sensed she was almost there.
I sucked on her clit hard, and then she was coming, shaking against me and looking absolutely amazing. Moments later, I came, too. Kind of embarrassing, since she wasn’t even touching me, but like I said, it had been a while, and Alora was a wet dream come to life.
I crawled up her body and took her into my arms, kissing and nuzzling the hollow of her neck.
“Wow,” she whispered, her arms slipping around my torso and cuddling me tight.
“Yeah, wow,” I agreed, making a plan in my head to do that again as soon as possible.
A second later, there was a knock at the door, which was swiftly followed by Tegan’s voice calling, “Finn, are you awake yet?”
Perfect way to ruin the moment.

“Why didn’t you inform me that Roman had found you?” Ethan demanded as he paced back and forth over the lush, expensive carpet in his bedroom.
I perched myself on the edge of the bed and rubbed at my arms, suddenly feeling a chill. “Well, I wasn’t sure that he had actually found me. He visited me in a dream, and I couldn’t tell if it was real or not. Tonight is the first time he came to me in the flesh.”
Ethan stopped abruptly and narrowed his gaze at me. “He visited you in a dream?”
I swallowed. “Yes.”
“And what happened in this dream?”
I didn’t get why he was being so icy all of a sudden, but I decided honesty was the best policy. I hated lying, and I didn’t want there to be any secrets between us. “He asked why I was searching for him, and I told him I was his granddaughter. Then he tried to kiss me in a very non-paternal way. I told him I wasn’t down with that, and he said that incest is the norm for magical folk. It creeped me out, to be honest.”
I paused and met Ethan’s gaze. He looked like he wanted to punch a hole in the wall or something. “He kissed you?”
I swallowed again. I seemed to be doing a lot of that tonight. “In the dream, so technically it doesn’t really count.”
“He’s a sorcerer,” Ethan growled. “It counts.”
Goosebumps claimed my skin at the rumble in his chest. “Well, anyway, as you can imagine, he took me completely by surprise. Where I come from, grandfathers don’t snog their granddaughters like that. I put a stop to the kiss right away, and he knows I don’t swing that way now. The plus side is that he’s agreed to help us.” I paused, worrying my lip. “He does want something in return though.”
Ethan’s eyes narrowed to slits. “What does he want?”
I hesitated because I’d planned on keeping this to myself for a while longer so that I’d have time to properly think it through. But maybe telling Ethan was a good idea. He could give me some advice on the matter. “He wants to train me to become a sorceress,” I said.
“Absolutely out of the question,” Ethan argued, his jaw ticking.
I furrowed my brow. “Um, it’s not exactly your decision to make.”
“He’s only requesting this so that he can spend more time with you … and seduce you, most likely. Sorcerers are selfish beings. They aren’t interested in passing on their knowledge because they know they are never going to die. If anything, he wants to bed you out of curiosity, and then he will probably leech your power and keep it for himself. He is not to be trusted.”
Ethan’s words gave me pause. I hadn’t even considered that Roman might only be out for what he could gain. But he seemed so different from Theodore, like he was a good sorcerer and Theodore was an evil one. The same way Rita told me there was good and bad magic.
“He said he wanted to help me. Apparently, becoming a sorceress would allow me to be with you for longer. Because I’m not sure if you’ve thought about this, Ethan, but I’m going to age and die, and you’re going to stay the same.” Saying it out loud made my stomach drop. “You’re not going to want to be with an old woman when you’re still young and virile.”
