Nessa moaned as his mouth trailed down her throat, then worked its way even lower. She bucked against him, pressing even tighter, nudging impatiently against his erection. She gasped when he took her nipple into his mouth and cupped her breasts with his delightful hands. His thumb teased at her other nipple until it peaked, hard with need. He nipped and suckled at them both until she writhed beneath his touch. She tickled her fingers down his chest, encircling his shaft until he shuddered within her stroking hand.
She moaned when he left her breasts, his tongue burning a teasing trail down her stomach. She caught her breath as he cupped her buttocks in his hands and lifted her to his mouth. He traced the valley of her inner thigh with his fingertips and teased his breath against the dark curls of her inviting center.
A satisfied laugh rumbling from deep within his chest, he smiled as his eyes locked with hers. With his eyes never leaving hers, Latharn lowered his mouth to suckle her awaiting folds. As he tongued her aching nub deep into his mouth, he buried a rapturous finger into her depths.
“Latharn!” Nessa moaned in ecstasy and buried her hands in his hair. She clutched his head against her body and wriggled beneath his mouth. Head thrown back, back arched in delight, Nessa lost the ability to do anything but feel. She screamed as she exploded with delicious rapture, not caring if her cries shook the house.
Latharn raised his head. He used his tongue to tickle delicious circles on the skin running up her side. He turned her. He took his time and licked his way up her back, reaching around to cup her breasts in each of his hands. He pulled her back against him, nuzzling her neck as his hands once more tantalized her nipples into aching peaks. His inviting erection prodded against the back of her thighs, a promise of what was to come.
As she turned in his arms, Nessa nibbled at his throat, her voice a husky whisper. “Now it’s my turn.” She ran her fingers down his chest joining them with her tongue. She nipped and teased until Latharn groaned and struggled to catch his breath.
She worked her way down to his straining shaft. She cupped him with one hand while circling his tip with her tongue. She glanced up at the tortured look of pure bliss on his face. Nessa purred with satisfaction. She licked and teased the length of his erection, then swallowed him down to the hilt. Latharn clutched the sheets of the bed as he gave himself over to the delicious magic of her mouth.
It was time. Latharn grabbed Nessa and rolled her beneath him.
“Now, Nessa. ’Tis time for us to be truly joined as we were always meant to be.”
He slid into her welcoming depths; her wet folds guided him to her heated center. As Latharn slid his arms beneath her, he settled his hips and groaned, “By the goddess, I’ve waited for this moment forever. I love ye, Nessa, with all of my soul.”
Her breath coming quicker, Nessa smiled into his eyes as she wrapped her legs around his body. “I love you, Latharn, my Highlander of my dreams. I’ve loved you since the first time you came to me.”
Nessa arched her back and matched Latharn’s slow grind, thrust for delicious thrust. The rhythm quickened; they drove into the dance. The bliss heightened into a luscious frenzy.
His head thrown back, Latharn’s throaty roar mingled with Nessa’s ecstatic cries. His release found, he poured into Nessa, shouting out her name.
All mine. Latharn raked his gaze over her shuddering body.Forever, all mine.The connection he’d sought, the elusive joining he’d needed, Latharn felt a melding of his soul. He groaned with the contentment he’d never hoped to find and curled his arms tighter about her. Taking care to stay deep inside her, Latharn rolled and pulled her to lie atop him. Collapsing back against the pillows, he ran his fingers through her short curls, as she lay snuggled against his chest.
“I love you.” Nessa exhaled with a contented purr, wriggling even closer against his body.
“Love doesna begin to describe this feeling,” Latharn murmured, kissing the top of her head. “Holding ye in my arms is tonic to my verra being. Finally joining with ye has healed the rift in my soul.”
Nessa propped her chin on his chest and traced a finger across his lips. “I never thought something like this would ever be possible. I thought you’d only be in my dreams.”
A contented smile tickled at the corners of his mouth as Latharn exhaled in pure satisfaction. “It has taken quite some time to make it to this point. There were times when I thought madness would surely take hold, especially after I found your melody dancing in the mists of time. It seemed an eternity for your soul to decide to join me upon this plane.”
He captured her hand and placed a kiss in her palm, pausing to add a seductive tickle with the tip of his tongue.
Nessa gasped as his passion returned to an inviting hardness inside her. Her own heat answered in more than willing reply and she slid up to straddle him. She moaned with abandon, blissfully gyrating as Latharn continued to grow.
“I’m glad I found the way to you. If I’d known about this, I think I would’ve tried harder to find you before now.”
Latharn wrapped his hands around her waist and stroked her body with his heated gaze. “We’ve only just begun, my dear, sweet Nessa. I’m about to show ye all that ye’ve been missing.”
Nessa didn’t hear anything else he said after that, she was too busy groaning in mindless release.
ChapterTwenty-Two
Coffee. The rich aroma of a freshly brewed pot wafted across her nose. Nessa inhaled; her stomach growled. “Latharn. We have to surface. I need coffee.”
Latharn pulled her closer against him, spooning his knees into the back of hers as he nuzzled the back of her neck. “We’ve only been in here for three days, Nessa. Have ye tired of me so soon?”
Three days. Nessa couldn’t resist his lips against the nape of her neck and snuggled tighter against him. “The others must think we’re dead.”
Latharn chuckled and cupped her breast as he suckled at her earlobe. “I think we’ve been loud enough for them to know we’re still verra much alive.”
Oh, great. She’d never hear the end of that from Trish. She did seem to remember a few times when she’d gotten a little loud. Nessa groaned and unwound herself from Latharn’s arms. “I need coffee. And if this is day three, we need to emerge because there’s no telling what’s being said about us.”
Pulling her back down into the bed, Latharn kissed the end of her nose. “First of all, I dinna give a damn what anyone says about us and neither should you. Second, I know exactly what they’re saying. I can hear them and I can allow ye to see and hear them as well. Watch.”
