Chapter 393: *Final Comforts - Part 2*
Kassin’s head swam. His heart pounded. His body sickened with sweat as he bucked his hips deep into Kordia.
He was thrilled to no longer be a virgin, but there was far more to the burgeoning love he felt for Kordia in his heart as he made love to her. As he watched Lapins kiss and caress her.
He’d never truly felt welcome at the Academy. The elites who’d clung to his shadow never spared him a moment without their expectations. Their views on "what Gra’Rhuel should become" as a new, burgeoning empire under his mother. Beastkin against the rest of the myriad, each of them mages and generals and power-makers.
Kassin had smiled and done his best, but he wouldn’t consider any of his classmates as friends. The only friend he’d wanted was Kordia. For her kindness. Her beauty. The sense he’d always had that she, as a chieftan’s daughter of the Mora clan, was exotic and powerful. That she had grand adventures while he was sheltered in a palace.
That she was herself, and he wasn’t.
And what had that given him?
An envious heart.
A possessiveness that made him sabotage her, just to feel more manly.
And yet even so, she forgave him.
And now, he was making love.
But more than that, he felt he was becoming one with her. Their minds were bound together through Kir, and as he lost himself in giving his flesh to hers, he felt the walls around his heart start to come down.
