Before I knew it, we were both naked. He kissed and caressed me everywhere, lingering on my nipples before gliding down my belly to the heat of my sex. Desire shook me like an approaching storm. Lost to sensation, I could only gasp when his hands found me wet and ready for him.
One minute, we were hugging and touching, and then Cadmus mounted me, shoving my thighs wide before pushing inside me. I arched up into him and gasped into his mouth.
He swallowed my cry, kissing me until I could no more than writhe beneath him, so hungry, lost to his touch.
He found my breast again, worshipping me with a mouth so hot he set me ablaze. His hands, his touch, and then his mind worked to increase my pleasure. I trembled with need while he rode me harder, the quakes of my orgasm sending me into a shockwave of ecstasy as I cried his name.
“Yes, Elliara,” he moaned, so big and hard inside me. “Take it all, every inch of me. You’re mine, and I’m yours. Fuck, I’m going to come so hard.” He palmed my ass, pulling me in as tight as I could be while he pounded inside me, the violence of his need incredibly arousing. “Feel the whole of me that needs who you are. Ellie.”
I came again, and a wave of Dark pleasure rushed over us both.
He swore and finally convulsed, spilling into me with a mix of magic and seed, the essence of my Storm Lord lover. The orgasm seemed non-ending as he continued to share himself with me.
When he finally stopped moving, I felt as if my bones had turned to water. Too sated to move, to do more than breathe, I laid there and stared up at him in awe.
This was the warrior Jonas had spoken of when telling tales of the dreaded Storm Lords. This was the Casanova women at the bar clamored over for the chance to experience the heaven I’d just reached.
“No, baby,” he murmured, leaning down with eyes so dark they looked black. “This is the man destined to make you sorry you ran out on him this morning.”
“Eavesdropper.” I sighed and kissed his cheek, his nose, his mouth, too pleased with his performance to be annoyed about anything. “This is the man who has a memory like an elephant. How can you still be harping on my leaving after that?”
He remained buried within me, shockingly still hard despite releasing inside me.
“I’d rather focus on your leaving me than think about how I almost hurt you earlier,” he said quietly, his expression one of regret. “Ellie, I attacked you. I could have killed you when you got between me and Jonas. I —”
“Don’t.” I placed two fingers over his lips. “It wasn’t your fault. It was the Darkness.”
“Of this cursed place.” He caged me gently but protectively in his muscled arms.
“No.” Upon first settling down onto Foreia’s ground, I’d felt the instant connection to the land and its energy. The swirling power in Cadmus hadn’t felt the same. “When you burst in truth, that energy didn’t come from Foreia. The land isn’t evil. I think I’d have sensed if it were.”
“I almost killed you and Jonas. That’s not a good thing, Ellie.” He looked grim.
“But you didn’t. I’m not sure what happened, but the only thing I felt as your Light burned through me was desperate need.”
“For you. You’re the one I need.” He kissed me tenderly, placed his forehead against mine and closed his eyes. “I don’t understand any of this. Light forgive me, but I can’t ignore the truth anymore. I want you, Ellie. All of you.”
He started moving in me again, surprising me at how quickly he aroused me after such a mind-blowing climax. His energy reached out to me, and I embraced him, allowing even the tentative touch of his Light. It no longer burned but instead stroked me with fingers of pleasure everywhere.
“What are you doing to me?” I whispered as he pulled out of me and turned me over, propping me up on my hands and knees.
My limbs felt like jelly, his mental support was all that allowed me to remain upright.
“I’m loving you, Ellie. All of you,” he said thickly. “This time I’m going to take things slowly to give you the perfection you so richly deserve.”
Chapter 14
Cadmus
The cool touch of Ellie felt like the calm before the storm. The physical need to connect with her overwhelmed every other thought in my mind. Her beauty, her touch, her scent. The mingled desire filtered over us like a heavenly perfume.
All of it fueled my desire, pushing me to fulfill my darker fantasies.
As if Foreia had totally opened its arms in greeting, the land’s energy spiraled up through my knees on the bed of grass, in the plant life whispering to me from all around, to sprout and grow new life. To nourish that what I most loved.
I moved closer and spread Ellie’s needs wider, positioning myself where I needed to be. I coated my shaft in the combined moisture of our release and pressed my steel-hard cock against the tight rose of her ass.
“Cadmus,” she growled. “What… I want you?” After a moment, she moaned. “I want you.”
