The Shadows Within

Chapter 41: Roses of Passion



Under Finn, the moonlight appeared to glisten in his hair. Saliva dripped down my chin when he tugged away from my lips, filling my lungs with air. Rose petals surrounded us as we used his fluffy cloak as a bed. Though with each gust of wind, petals would fly by if not caught by our bodies.

However, my eyes didn’t part from the demon before me. No, he was the most beautiful thing there.

“Should I rip your dress off?” he smirked, trailing his hands on my covered chest.

If he wanted, he could’ve ripped it without even asking.

“No, how will I get home if you do?” I huffed, struggling to undo the buttons on his shirt.

This needs to come off! Now!

A soft chuckle came from him, grabbing my hands with his.

“My cloak was perfect for you last night.” He smirked, gazing at my right arm.

It still was twitchy but responding better.

“But we aren’t home! Plus, it has buttons to undo it on the front.” I informed the last bit in a mumble.

Seconds later, I realized how it sounded—something he caught on to.

“Hm… were you hoping this is where we would end tonight?” he hummed with a sly smile.

In an instant, my cheeks felt like they would burn off.

You aren’t wrong! But…

“Pervert, I just liked it,” I huffed, covering my face with my hands.

Ah… this can’t be real. After feeling like my heart was about to die, it’s like exploding, and I can’t stop smiling!

“Hm, right.” He chuckled, undoing my dress's buttons before grabbing my right hand with his left. “Hey, how’s your arm?”

Finn was probably worried that I had destabilized it again, and I probably did. However, this time, it caused the opposite effect. I felt more feeling rushing through it, and it wasn’t stinging anymore.

“It’s responding now. Still off, though.” I answered, gazing at him again.

Are you going to stop?

“The surge of magic probably affected it. Let me know if you feel anything, and don’t overdo it.” He sighed, entwining my right hand with his left.

Tugging on the ends of my dress, he exposed my upper body to him, along with my leggings. However, he didn’t let go of my hand when he trailed his fingers on my skin, triggering me to shiver.

“W-wait, Finn… can you end the illusion for me at least?” I suddenly asked, feeling off.

Although this was his old form, it wasn’t who he was in the present, and I wanted his authentic self to hold me.

“You’re strange. Don’t you want to be held by something that looks at least human?” he cocked his head, cheeks rosy.

“No, I want you,” I announced, grasping his shirt. “Please?”

It caused his cheeks to go red, and the blush reached his ears.

He cleared his throat, shaking his head, “W-well, the real me might be too big for you. You don’t want to be ripped in two, right?”

His tone was high-pitched by the end.

“I know, but… at least your demi form,” I mumbled, focusing on him.

A soft sigh left him, pressing his lips against mine for a second before tugging away.

“You’re adorable. I guess you’ll have to do for this me.” He snapped his fingers, breaking the illusion in my eyes.

He couldn’t dissolve it if someone sneaked by, but it was all I needed.

“Better?” he simpered.

I nodded, touching his cheek with my left hand. “Perfect.”

“Good.” He chuckled, leaning into my touch.

Shivers ran down my spine, feeling his tail slip into my leggings before pulling them down. Even though the wind was so chilly, I couldn’t feel it. No, all I felt was the blaze Finn left behind whenever he touched me.

“I won’t let go of this hand. So, you can’t either, okay?” he announced.

I nodded, though I didn’t know why he said that. Undoing the buttons on his shirt that I had failed to get, he grabbed my left hand, placing it on his chest.

“It’s okay, I’m just as nervous as you.” He whispered, allowing me to feel his heartbeat through my palm.

It was going as fast or faster than mine. All the kiss marks were still there on his skin, much like the one he left me was still there. Softly, I dragged my hand down his chest, triggering him to shiver.

“Cute,” I mumbled, watching his reaction to my touch.

“You really aren’t normal, and that’s okay. I’m going to devour you slowly.” A soft smile rose on his lips.

Trailing his free hand on my breast caused me to tremble before he cupped and squished it, triggering me to whimper. Leaning into my chest, I felt his breath before his tongue lapped my nips. Instinctively, I grabbed onto his hair, feeling a new sensation I hadn’t ever felt before.

My back arched, feeling his fangs brush against my skin. However, that didn’t stop him from sucking on my sensitive nobs into his mouth as his tongue danced around them. My right hand trembled to hold on to him, yet he never let go.

Is any of this real? Am I here with Finn, or did I fall asleep somewhere?

Spreading his wings upward, I noticed that faint blue aura coming from him. Some tips of the feathers were turning purple, which reflected on the base of his horns, too. With every suck, it felt like he was leaving little marks everywhere on my skin.

Tugging away from my breast, he stole my lips. His tongue roamed my mouth, prompting me to hum when I felt his hand trail down my navel and into my vulva. I didn’t even notice when his tail tugged off my underwear, but it was coiled around my right leg.

I spread my legs for him thinking it would be better, allowing him to trail his fingers through my sensitive bell and slits. A mewl escaped me while kissing, prompting him to tug away me. Licking his lips, his eyes glowed brighter than I had ever done.

“So, fucking cute. You’re so wet. I think anything will slip right in.” He purred, sliding a finger into me.

It caused me to wince, prompting him to kiss my forehead.

“Does it hurt?” he asked, pushing it more profoundly.

I could feel his long nails against my walls, but that wasn’t why I flinched. No, it felt so weird to have anything in me.

Shaking my head, I grabbed onto his shirt again. “No, it feels weird. I don’t know if I like it or not.” I mumbled, feeling jittery.

“Oh, sweety, it’s only going to worsen as this is your first time.” He sighed, shifting his weight.

However, I grabbed his hand with my left before he could take his finger out.

“Are you going to run again?” I huffed.

A smirk rose on his lips, grabbing tighter into my right hand.

“You never react like I think you will. Sweets, you don’t know the ways you stir me in. Fuck it. I’ll let go of my sanity. Now, don’t cry too loudly.” Finn warned, filling me with another finger.

I gasped when I felt them searching for something within my walls. It felt like I reached the stars instantly, triggering a sharp mewl left me.

“What was that?!” I squealed

He licked his lips, “Found it.” before brushing his fingers against it again.

A softer mewl left me, prompting me to buck my hips into his hand. With every stroke, my world flickered as pleasure came in waves with every push and tug.

“Finn, I feel weird!” I whined, triggering a soft chuckle to come from him.

The next moment, he was trailing kisses down my neck, onto my bosom, and down my navel. All the while, the rhythm of his fingers never stopped. It was like he left a trail of fire everywhere he touched.

Each push caused a new feeling to grow at my core, leaving knots to form as a tingling sensation followed them. Unable to help it, my hips searched for more. However, before I could reach my peak, he tugged his fingers out of me, licking them.

“By the way, you’re the beautiful one here. I hope you know that.” Finn lapped his limbs before using that same hand to hold my left leg further apart.

Ah… You’re still…

His tail tugged on the other one, triggering me to get jittery. I closed my eyes to brace, thinking he would enter me, only for my eyes to fly open, mewling when I felt his tongue trail through my slits.

“Wait, Finn, that’s not clean!” I yelped, attempting to sit up, only to freeze when I felt it go into me.

We had walked so much that I surely didn’t smell as lovely as I would if I showered. Tugging out his tongue to me, he lapped my bell before sucking on it, prompting me to whine louder than before. A second later, my body twitched, feeling my mind white out as a sensation washed over me.

All my nerves washed away, leaving me jittery at any touch. My breath came in luxury, as I couldn’t find enough. I hadn’t realized I was clasping Finn’s hair harder than I intended. Not that he minded it.

Instead of caring for my rough handling, he continued to lap the nectar that came out of me—leaving me tender to every touch that he gave me.

Oh… If sex feels this good all the time, I can tell why some people get addicted to it. This is… amazing!

Losing my grip on him, I gazed to the side, trying to set my head in place. Petals had fallen all around us as I reached for one.

Ah… Did the scenery…. Was it always this peaceful?

However, before I could grab it, he tugged on my right hand, prompting me to glance back at him. The demon lapped his lips like he had a good meal.

The base of your horns is entirely purple. Why…

“Hey, don’t look away. It isn’t over yet.” He simpered, undoing his pants.

Right, you haven’t…

I clasped his hand while he used his tail to tug his pants and underwear down. My eyes widened upon seeing the monstrosity I was supposed to welcome in. It was thicker than a dildo I found once in Evelyn’s room when I cleaned it, and I thought that was big, but this was something else.

What’s that snake called…?

While the one I saw in my sister’s room was a viper. This one was a python.

“W-wait. T-that w-won’t f-fit!” I squealed, feeling my heart race.

A smirk formed on his lip like I had complimented him. However, there was also slight annoyance in his eyes.

“Oh, Sparky, I gave you so many outs. Now you want to run away. Nuh-uh. Not happening. You’ll be fine, trust me.” He assured me, stroking himself as his tail coiled again around my leg.

That’s true… but… I didn’t know you had a weapon down there!

Before I could speak, though, he mumbled something. “Well, at first, it will hurt, or so I’ve been told. I’ve never had a virgin before.”

A shrug followed it, causing my eyes to twitch.

“I-I t-think you’re going to kill me!” I yelped, feeling him press his tip against my entrance.

Although my mind said run, my heart told me to stay. It was a clash of emotions, though deep down, I didn’t want to stop, even if I was scared.

“Oi, I’m not stopping.” He huffed, making me feel both relieved and conflicted.

Why are my emotions never in control when you’re involved?!

“B-but—” I tried to protest without moving from where I was.

No, nothing would make me move. However, instead of pushing it in, he rubbed it against my vulva, smothering it in his saliva and my nectar.

“It’s smaller than a baby's head, and that comes out of you. So, you’ll be fine. Plus, it’ll fit snugly in your womb.” He smirked, caging me under him, still holding my right hand in his as he promised.

The other was beside my head, holding him up.

“B-but…” I trailed off, not having the will to fight.

I wanted it, too.

“Scratch me if it hurts too much. I have a spell that would make it feel better, but I can’t cast it on you. Your arm might become even more unstable if I do.” He informed me, rubbing himself against my entrance.

Another moment, I hugged him, wrapping my left arm around his side before planting my hand on his back. All I felt was his feathers since barely any skin was on his back. Not that it made me pull away from it.

No, I didn’t care that he was a Half-dragon.

“F-fine! D-do i-it, but if you rip me apart! I’ll cry!” I warned, feeling the nerves go haywire.

Finn chuckled as a soft smile rose on his lips. His body's aura was even more intensely colored than the rose petals around us, leaving me in awe.

“You can cry even if I don’t.” He kissed my forehead.

I felt him use his tail to line himself with me a second later. It was also tightly wrapped around my waist to prevent me from jolting away. A sharp cry left me, feeling his tip slide in.

“It hurts!” I yelped, getting tenser with each centimeter it went in.

It was like I was being torn apart.

“Relax, baby girl, you’re okay,” he whispered, holding my head to his chest.

My fists were full of his feathers, as my other one held onto his for dear life. Tears welled up in my eyes, feeling every bit of him go into me.

A soft groan left his lips, “Ah, good girl, just a bit more.” he murmured, filling me to the brim soon after.

Once in me, my legs would quiver if they weren’t being held. The pain of being penetrated for the first time by something was almost too much for me. Yet compared to all the beating I had endured, this pain was sweeter than all the others, especially the warmth that came after when Finn held himself in place, waiting for me to get used to his shape.

That alone was more filling than anything else I had experienced. When I finally relaxed my hold on him, I fell against the cloak, panting. Blood had seeped into my dress from our union, yet I didn’t care. Gazing at the demon who held me in his sweet embrace, I saw his eyes give a brighter neon blue hue than before.

There was also a blue tone inside his pupils. Soft pants were coming from him, which looked like…

Is this painful for you, too? I didn’t…

“D-Does it h-hurt too?” I mumbled, struggling for air.

His eyes narrowed, shaking his head. “No, this is the best feeling I’ve ever had, and I’m struggling to control myself, but I don’t want to hurt you.”

Biting onto his lip, a soft sigh left him soon after, “Fuck! I feel like I’m melting in you.”

He leaned into me before I could form coherent thoughts; however, he stopped above my lips.

“You're holding me so tightly down there, baby girl; I feel I’m going to fuse into you.” He whispered, brushing his with mine.

I’m glad… You like it.

The kiss soon turned sloppy as we made out as what felt like seconds turned into minutes. He was using his tongue to draw the desire to fuck me into kissing me. Saliva dripped down my chin, giving away to the pain that melted, leaving behind a feeling I wasn’t used to.

No, before I knew it, I convulsed under him, triggering him to tug from my lips.

“Did you…?” he mumbled, knowing what happened.

My walls tightened on his member, allowing me to feel him twitch in the rhythm of his heartbeat. This was much more intimate than a kiss, leaving me dazed.

“Fuck, can I?” Finn cursed, reaching his limit.

I nodded, trailing my hand on my abdomen. “Please indulge yourself in me.”

His eyes widened; it was almost as if something snapped within him. The next moment, I felt him pull out of me before shoving himself into me. Soft curses and groans left him picking up a rhythm soon after. It was rough, but I couldn’t complain.

Well, I don’t have a reason to when I get to see your expression become a mess, much like me.

Every push made his tip kiss my womb, while every pull left me feeling empty. Sweat dripped from him and onto me when our skins brushed against each other. The squelching sound filled my senses whenever our skins slapped or tugged away.

It wasn’t long before I found my peak again, releasing every knot built. All the while, Finn continued to find pleasure in himself. Feeling him tug and shove into me as I rode my high made my voice run wild.

“Finn!” I mewled, sliding my hand from his back onto his pec.

My reward for calling his name was for him to rob me of my breath with another lock of our lips. His tongue was caressing me in ways I never knew I could feel. I was filled in more ways than I could comprehend, turning my mind mush.

Tugging away from my lips, a string of saliva connected us. Licking it away, I chased his lips, brushing against them again, feeling him push into me again.

“Inside or out?” he suddenly asked before I could deepen the kiss, not stopping his movements.

My mind was too muddled to think clearly, focusing on his expressions, which I wanted to memorize.

“What?” I mumbled, mewling right after feeling him pull and shove into me.

Much like he had said earlier, the pain was almost nowhere to be felt, melting away before leaving behind pleasure.

“Do you want me to cum inside you or outside, sweets?” he clarified, leaning into me and kissing my forehead.

His tail was still enveloped around my waist. Everything was too warm. My heart spoke before my brain.

“Inside,” I mewled, feeling him pick up his pace.

Though it was slowly getting sluggish, too, his cheeks were bright pink, and his expression was of a man chasing after his ecstasy.

Ah… another expression I want you always to have, but this one is for me alone.

“Okay, you better cum with me too.” He murmured, rubbing his tail on my bell.

A whine left me, feeling everything reaching its peak again.

“Finn! I can’t hold it in!” I mewled, tugging on his shirt.

It was hard to fight the sensation that had consumed my senses more than once.

“Fuck! You’re getting tighter. Let it go, I’m going—” he started, only to groan soon after.

My world flickered again, feeling filled by him as he exploded at my core. His member was twitching madly, packing me with his seeds. The sensation caused my body to convulse under him, making him hold me tight.

Even if this wasn’t love, this was an embrace I didn’t want to let go of. I would gladly accept it if it were all I would ever know, especially when it came from the demon that stole my heart. In this sweet union, the one thing that stuck out was the scent of roses, which reminded me of him alone.

If only you’d love me, too, but that’s too much for someone like me to wish for. This, whatever it is, must be enough.
