Hellbound Heart

Chapter 388  Light and Darkness - Part 6

"Tell me babe… what was I telling you in your imagination while I pleasure you like this?"

"You were asking me to come for you while..." he made another low growl as she began to hasten her pace, pumping him.

"I'm jerking you like this?"

"Yeah… f*ck… Alicia…"

"Are you close, love?"

Another sexy deep moan was torn from deep within his throat. "Mn…"

"Come for me, babe." Alicia whispered and he threw his head back, facing the sky as he moaned her name and came.

Panting, Zeke suddenly turned, grabbed Alicia and crashed her against his strong body. His hand fisted her hair as he kissed her hard.

And Alicia could only cling to him, kissing him back with abandon. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He lifted her from the water like she weighed nothing and Alicia wound her legs around his waist.

When their lips parted, their gazes held. A fire filled with nothing but love and desire were burning wildly in their eyes. It was insane how their longing and need for each other seemed to only keep going stronger and stronger as time went on.

Zeke turned swiftly, his arms capturing Alicia with an urgency that left no room for hesitation. He pulled her against the solid strength of his body, a hand  gripping her hair to draw her into a kiss that was both a conquest and a surrender.

Alicia's arms wrapped around him, her own passion mirroring his. The water around them became inconsequential as he lifted her effortlessly. And instinctively, her legs wound around his waist, anchoring herself to him.

"Alicia," he whispered, her name escaping him like a prayer. And just when Alicia thought Zeke would take her right then and there judging from the sudden surge of his intensity, he lowered himself into the water, not venturing deeper but simply sitting down, as if the strength had ebbed from his legs.

Straddling him, Alicia attempted to pull back slightly, to catch a glimpse of his face. But Zeke's grip on her tightened. It was then that Alicia sensed an underlying fear in his hold, it was almost as if he believed she might vanish if he dared to let go, even slightly.

"Eze…kiel?" She called his name so softly and eventually, he allowed his grip to relax, lifting his gaze to meet hers.

"Sorry," he said, "my body just reacted. I guess it thought you're going to disappear like in those imaginations."

Alicia felt a pang at the sight of that look in his eye even though he was smiling.

"I'm not… going to disappear this time." She told him and his smile faded.

He cupped her face and pressed her forehead against his. "Yes…"

Gently, Alicia took his hands from her face, guiding them to encircle her waist. She then planted a kiss on his forehead, his eyes, the tip of his nose, his cheek, his jawline.

"I love you to hell and back, Ezekiel," she confessed, and the sound of his delighted hum filled the space around them, a melody of contentment and belonging.

"Can you say that again, my wife?"

"I love you… I love you… I love you… Ezekiel…" she repeated, her voice a soft cascade of emotion, each utterance a wave washing over them both, binding them closer.

"And I love you, Alicia… I love you… I love you…" Zeke's voice cracked a little and tears silently trailed down Alicia's cheeks.

"You're making me emotional again," she mock-complained. "Why do your 'I love yous' just hit different?"

"Is it?" he asked, genuinely curious as he gently wiped away her tears, his touch as tender as the sentiment behind his words.

"It definitely is!" Alicia affirmed, her emphasis adorable, a burst of earnestness that brought a smile to Zeke's face once more.

"Adorable…" he murmured, his gaze fixed on her with such warmth and adoration, as if she were the embodiment of his every joy and happiness.

Almost absentmindedly, he caressed her cheek with the back of his fingers and asked, "Tell me, Alicia… what imagination of me had managed to set you off the hardest when you were pleasuring yourself?"

She blushed a little as she replied. "Do you really want to know?"

"Tell me, babe… I want to know."

"Well, I think it's when I imagine you… tied up in our bed." She admitted.

When Zeke's eyes widened slightly as if he didn't expect what she just said, Alicia continued. "I think it's because I keep fantasizing about a world where all I could do was just tie you up in my bed and you could never leave ever again."

A short moment of quiet fell between them until Zeke broke it.

"Do you want to tie me up right now, Alicia?" The intensity in his eyes was unmistakable, a direct invitation to explore the uncharted waters of her fantasies.

Alicia swallowed. "I do. But are you… okay with that? I honestly don't think you're… into… that." Her voice trailed off, uncertainty coloring her words.

His response was a smile, one that transformed his expression from tender to tantalizingly seductive. "Well, we will never know unless we tried, isn't it?"

Alicia's eyes widened. "Are you… sure? You're not just –"

"Shh…" Zeke interrupted, his thumb pressing gently against her lips, silencing her doubts with a touch. "I want you to not think of me but you alone this time, Alicia. So don't hold yourself back… let me see what my witch queen is in action this time…" His words, a blend of consent and curiosity, ignited a new fire in Alicia, a flame of empowered desire and anticipation for the exploration ahead.

"I'm thrilled to see more of what you can do. So just show me, babe." His encouragement was the final nudge she needed and with that, Alicia's body glowed, and silvery white glowing chains materialized around Zeke's wrists. The chains, ethereal and gleaming, stretched out to connect to the opposite pillars, parting his hands and suspending them in a V-shape.

Zeke's reaction, a half-bite of his lower lip accompanied by a smile, was one of anticipation. A silent approval.
