Starting all over again, I relentlessly push her higher, watching as longing, trust, and ecstasy flicker across her face. When she comes this time, she doesn’t hide her face from me, and her mouth opens on a silent scream.
It’s the most intimate thing I’ve ever been a part of.
When she reaches back for me, I take her trembling hand in mine. “I’ve got you, sweetheart,” I say, interlacing our fingers.
I roll her gently onto her back, ditching my clothes and following her down. Her skin is silk beneath my fingers, her lips softer still as I steal kiss after kiss from her mouth. I don’t tease or hesitate. Looking deep into her eyes, I line myself up and slip inside her.
The feeling is indescribable.
Even with how wet and relaxed she is after two orgasms, it’s still a tight fit. I rock in and out with shallow strokes, burying more of my cock inside her bit by bit until I bottom out. I kiss her desperately, then rest my forehead against hers. This feeling... It’s better than the first sip of water on a hot day. Better than anything I’ve ever dared wish for.
Sheena’s eyes are glassy with unshed tears. For the first time in my life, I’m thankful for my magic, which tells me she’s experiencing the same raw intensity I am.I’m not alone; she’s right here with me. This is so much more than physical.I kiss her cheeks, her eyelids, her nose.
I brace myself on my elbows so I can give myself a deeper range of motion and kiss her at the same time. After the first few thrusts, Sheena wraps her legs around my hips, bracing her heels on my ass and using the leverage to create her own friction. The urge to pump myself into her at top speed is hard to ignore, but I’m determined to focus on her pleasure.
When she comes this time, I can feel her contracting on my cock. It’s fucking exquisite, and I have to grit my teeth to hold my orgasm back.
Even though I’m inside her, staring into her eyes with her legs wrapped around me like a vise, I’m still not close enough. I want more. I sit up, pulling her with me so I never have to leave the warmth of her body. With her straddling my lap, I thrust up into her and watch the way her breasts bounce with the force.
Sheena murmurs my name, and I kiss her hungrily. When she scrapes her nails against my scalp, I pull one rosy nipple into my mouth. We trade caresses, touches, and nibbles until I feel another orgasm building inside her. This time, I know I won’t be able to hold off, so I slip my hand down between our bodies and rub her clit.
“Just give me one more, sweetheart,” I beg.
When she shatters in my arms, I let go, feeling my face warp as my climax roars through me. Every one of my nerve endings ignites then sputters out at the same time. It feels like an electric shock completely rewiring my entire nervous system.
I’ve never come so hard in my life. This one sexual experience gave me enough juice to last a month. Despite that fact, I can’t wait for a repeat. I kiss her tenderly.
I’ll never get enough of her.
We both tumble down on top of the sheets in a sweaty, exhausted pile of arms and legs. The purple in her eyes fades back to green, and my heart pumps unsteadily. I think I love her, but I hold myself back from saying it. I don’t know whether it’s timing or self-preservation, but the last thing I want is for her to feel obligated to say it back now and regret it later.
So I say everything but those three little words.
I tell Sheena how perfect she is and how amazing her body feels, punctuating each compliment with a kiss. She smiles, cuddling sleepily into my arms and resting her head on my chest. I’m surprised when she drifts off without a word. I pull the sheets over us and settle back into the pillows. Nothing could drag me out of this bed right now.
GIDEON
When I goto my bedroom to check on Sheena and Callum before dinner, I’m not sure what to expect. Maybe a defensive Callum or an emotional Sheena.
What I find is something else entirely.
The pair of them are sprawled naked on the bed, partially covered by a sheet. Callum’s body is closest to the door, curled around her like a suit of armor. He’s partially on top of her, his olive skin tone contrasting with her paler complexion. Sharing a pillow, strands of their dark hair are caught up together so it’s hard to tell where hers ends and his begins.
Gods, they’re pretty together.
I want to crawl into that bed and lose track of time, but if I do that, we’ll miss dinner, and I don’t want Sheena skipping meals.I remember the fae’s warning and feel a sharp ache in my heart.I can’t lose her.
Sheena must sense my worry because her eyes flicker open slowly, an expression of sleepy contentment on her face. One of her hands is buried in Callum’s hair. She reaches out to me with the other, and I interlock my fingers with hers, dropping to the bed and cuddling her close.A few more minutes can’t hurt.
“Are you feeling better, baby?” I ask, keeping my voice low.
“Mm-hmm. I had a good talk with your mom and then with Callum.” She strokes a strand of his hair gently away from his face, her voice raspy from sleep. “Gideon, I’m so glad you’re okay. That you’re here with me.”
I bend my neck, lowering my head to press a kiss against her lips.
“I’m right where I want to be, next to you,” I whisper. “The nudity is just a bonus.”
She giggles quietly but doesn’t bother to cover herself. Since I’m propped against the headboard and looking down, I notice when Callum wakes up. His eyes blink open, but once he sees where his face is, he closes them again and pretends to be asleep.
