Rebuilding Lily Ch. 02

**Inspired by Sylvia Day's Spellbound**

Familiars were much like the felines they shifted into. They wanted to be taken care of, spoiled, and played with. Lily might have lost the instinctual pull toward such things, but Jason knew that, through his careful efforts as a meticulous and caring dominant, he could awaken those desires in her again.

He started by bathing her, gently massaging her head and body with fragrant soaps in a warm, sumptuous shower. Lily stood with him passively under the water, but she closed her eyes in satisfaction when he combed his fingers through her hair. He relished the feeling of the soft, wet hair he held in his hands and the simple pleasure he felt radiating from Lily.

Soon, she was warm, dry, and wrapped up in a soft robe with a mug of hot tea in her hands. The purple collar remained magically in place around her pale neck, a stark reminder of her submission to Jason. When she was ready to sleep, he rubbed gentle circles across her back as she drifted off.

The next day, Jason focused on feeding his little Familiar. He magicked in food from the highest-rated restaurants in Paris, New York City, and even New Orleans. He indulged her every request, bringing in the most unusual and delightfully delicious concoctions.

While they ate, he told Lily about himself. Where he grew up, his favorite places to visit, how much he enjoyed hunting Familiars and disliked hunting the Other creatures that he had to put down. This was all part of his plan to build chemistry with Lily, but he found himself enjoying sharing with her more than he expected. He left space for her to respond in kind but did not push her to fill the silence.

They ate and drank their fill, then he bathed her again, leaving her warm and drowsy on the couch, where he idly stroked her feet as she sipped hot tea and listened to soft music. When she fell asleep to his touch, Jason carried her to bed, wrapping his arms around her tightly. Feeling comforted by her scent, he let sleep take him as well.

Jason woke to Lily shifting in his arms. In her sleep, she had turned over and snuggled deeply into his shoulder, her warm breath caressing his neck. He leaned over to kiss her softly on the head then glanced at the clock beside the bed and saw that it was still very early.

He gently shifted the sheets and extricated himself from their intertwined bodies. Being careful not to wake Lily, he untied her silken robe and bared her sleeping body to him. Her nipples tightened slightly in the cool air.

Licking his lips, he dipped his head and pulled a nipple into his mouth. His tongue swirled, and he delighted in how quickly it pebbled in response to his ministrations. Lily sighed but did not wake.

Jason snaked a hand down her body and between her soft thighs and wriggled a single finger inside her folds. The warmth of her insides reached his senses, and his lips stilled in surprise. Her pussy was luxurious, velvety soft and sensuous, soothingly warm and wet. She gently clenched around his finger, and he felt his cock swell in response, immediately straining against his sweatpants.

But this wasn't about his own desire. It was about making Lily feel safe and comfortable with his touch, about helping her create a trickle of magic in response to her own enjoyment. He initiated this while Lily was sleeping so she wouldn't have time to build up walls that would block her enjoyment.

Jason refocused his attention on her nipple, nipping it hard enough to pull her from sleep.

"Good morning, beautiful," he murmured against her skin as she sighed and fluttered her eyes open. Lily hummed sleepily in response. Jason suckled her nipple lazily then shifted his body to do the same to her other breast. His tongue swirled around her pointed nipple, then he lapped at the soft, fragrant skin.

Her hands grasped the sheet under her as Jason supplemented his licks and kisses with slow, tantalizing movements of his hand in and out of her magnificent pussy. Feeling her wetness grow, he added a second finger and began to feel along her inner walls for her G-spot, which he brushed gently, waiting for a reaction.

Her response left him breathless. A sensuous purr escaped her, followed by a wave of magic that lapped at Jason's senses. Lily felt it, too, because her eyes snapped to his, and she tried to sit up.

"Relax, Kitten," Jason muttered, still distracted by her response. She lay back obediently and closed her eyes. Jason refocused his attention on her neck, kissing it then tracing his tongue along it toward her ear. He thrust his tongue into her ear, wetting it and causing Lily to gasp.

"Relax, Kitten," he whispered this time, letting his hot breath sigh against her skin.

Jason rubbed Lily's G-spot more firmly while he continued showering her neck and ear with attention. Magic trickled from them as Lily softened to his touch.

He moved his fingers in and out of her, pressing against her G-spot with each motion. Though she didn't move, Lily's magic pulsed in time. Her inner walls gripped at his fingers, harder and harder. Jason didn't change his tempo to match her frantic heartbeat.

Lily's hands found his shirt, and she anchored herself to him. It was clear she was close to orgasm.

"You're doing great, Kitten. Come for me." Whether it was his timing or his command, she did so, a soft surge of magic rushing over them both.

The magic faded gently. Jason set his hand on her belly and breathed in the heady scent of her sex.

Lily opened her eyes. And there it was, radiating from her, something other than the empty submission he'd seen when he first collared her.

Desire.
