Ileus: The Dark Prince

Chapter 264 - The Dance

Chapter 264 - The Dance

Anastasia watched Paige run to Kaizan and the girl. Ileus snapped his fingers and a rug appeared in front of them. He placed her boots on the side. He took his boots out and untied the shirt that he had tied over his shoulders and placed them near her boots. He sat beside Anastasia, but he was just too drunk to stay away from her. The alcohol was making him lusty for his wife, so he pulled her between his thighs and wrapped his arms around her waist.

He rested his head on her shoulder and said, "My father always teases my mother about this place. He had seen her in a war against her pack. The war was won with my mother's help, and so my father was angry. They met here on one such night and had crazy difficulty in overcoming their attraction."

Anastasia chuckled, "Really?"

"Hmm, my father had to eventually make a deal with my mother's pack to marry her. He knew that she wouldn't agree easily, so he actually went and abducted her best friend, Niiya and kept him locked until he got married to her." He buried his head in her neck and inhaled her scent.

"Oh my god! Your mother is fierce."

"And so is my father," he replied and grazed her mark. She shuddered against his chest and heat pooled in her belly.

"You and your father are the same—shameless," she chuckled.

"We are fierce about our mates." He kissed her temple and slowly started brushing his fingers on her exposed thigh.

Anastasia's eyes became hooded under his ministrations. Her gaze went to Kaizan, who was dancing so close to that girl that she couldn't place where his body began and the other one's began. He had wrapped one arm around her waist, her head and back resting on his bare chest, her thighs sticking to his. He directed her moves to the beats of the music. Paige had joined them and she was facing the girl. She leaned down and whispered something in her ears and the girl placed her hands on her hips and moved very close to her. Kaizan kissed the girl's cheek.

"Is Kaizan close to that girl?" asked Anastasia.

Ileus cocked his head to see them. Amidst the bodies that danced around the rising flames, he found Kaizan. Paige was in front of the girl and had curled her arms around her waist. Sweat glistening, Paige pulled the girl away from him. "No, he isn't close to her," he replied.

She gulped seeing Paige dancing with the girl. Kaizan turned to someone else.

"Don't be so shocked, honey," he said as he closed his eyes and once again grazed her mark with his fangs. But on the inside, he could well understand her shock. The girl had never been exposed to vagaries of life and he silently thanked the wolf spirits for that. He kissed a trail of kisses on her nape and shoulders while brushing his fingers right up inside her skirt to her panties. "You are so wet, love," he breathed and pressed his erection against her belly.

From the corner of her eyes, she saw Aidan leading Darla inside one of the tents and her lips curled. However, Aidan didn't go inside the tent. He rounded it and took her behind… into the forest. "Darla loves to scream when she comes," said Ileus. "And Aidan doesn't want anyone to hear her in the throes of pleasure." They saw Guarhal going inside a tent.

"Gods!" Anastasia rasped. "How do you know?" She turned her head to yet another tent where she saw silhouettes of men and women in acts of sin. Her heart pounded against her ribcage.

"Would you dance with me, love?" he asked, seeing how curious she was getting.

Anastasia bit her bottom lip. "Yes," she said softly. She realized that they had never danced together. Ileus had watched her dancing with Aed Ruad on the night of their escape. She was eager to dance with him.

He got up and extended his hand for her. She took it and he pulled her up. He led her to the bonfire. People bowed to him and separated to give them space. Music caught fire. Ileus placed her hands on his shoulders while he grasped her hips. She swayed along with him for a few minutes and then he picked her up on his thigh. She gasped. Her legs were across his thigh—one completely exposed. He brushed her thigh and hissed and suddenly picked her up and hurled into the air. She stifled a scream as her eyes became wide. He caught her midair and twirled her and then brought her gently to the ground. He twirled her and as soon as she faced him, he dipped her. She stilled in his arms and stared in the warm golden eyes that were swirling with lascivious promises. He bent down and kissed her. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach. Her skin flushed hot as need cruised through her body.

He lifted her up. "Did you like it, honey?" he whispered near her ear.

"Yes."

He turned her around and cradled her hips in his as they swayed more to the dance music. Suddenly a voice came from behind. "Would you like to dance with me, Anastasia?" said Kaizan.

"And me?" said Guarhal, shocking Anastasia. He had come out of the tent, with his shirt off.

Before Ileus could protest, the two held her hands and took her closer to the fire where Paige and the other girl were. For the first time, Anastasia let go of her inhibitions and she danced. She watched Ileus going back and sitting on the rug. He looked crazily sexy and all she wanted was to be with him. She left the group after a while and ambled to him. She cupped his cheeks. "I want you," she whispered.

"And I want you," he said. He led her a little far away towards an area where the lights of the tents faded and only moonlight shone down upon the waters of the lake.

He made her lie down on the soft grass and crawled above her. Each hot breath he took was fanning her cheeks. He opened the buttons of her shirt and cupped her breasts. After staring at her pink nipples for a while, he latched onto them and sucked them hard. He groaned as he sucked them. Her body arched to give him more of her. When he pulled away, he said, "Do you remember the book we used to read in Sgiath Biò."

She nodded as images of that book flashed across her mind.

"Princess, which position would you like today?" he asked.

"You said you have more of those, which I would like to see." Gods, was she speaking under the effect of alcohol? How did she become so bold?

He grabbed her other breast and in between said, "I will show you more positions." Her heart pounded louder than the drum beats. He grazed his fangs around her nipples before pulling away. "Natsya!" he hissed.

She lifted her head and kissed his chest. She opened the belt of his leather pants and her hands dug inside to feel his hard erection. When she brushed the crown, his shaft pulsated and her hands and he pushed it in her hands. "I want to taste it…" she said.
