My plan came rushing back, and unable to help myself, I smiled against his lips.
“Hmm?” Vale asked, drifting to kiss me along my jaw. “What are you thinking about, little beast?”
In answer, I pulled back enough to release my wings from his grasp. “Come find out.”
I dropped into the pool, the warmth of it surprising me, and when I bobbed back up and found Vale, still in the air, his eyes wide and stunned, I laughed.
“The water is warm, and it’s shallow enough that I touched the bottom when I got in.”
Assured, Vale fluttered down and joined me in the pool and gripped my waist. The male had gotten a taste of me and was not at all sated. Nor was I, for that matter.
I wrapped my legs around his middle and sighed at his hardness as it pressed against my core. I’d tasted Vale before, touched him just as he’d touched me in the most intimate of places, but we’d always stopped short of sex. Laughable in a way, seeing as we were married, and attracted to one another, but now I was glad we hadn’t given in to lust. Glad that we’d waited for love to come.
I kissed him again, and he reciprocated, leaving tendrils of flames on my lips as his length pressed into me, forming a delicious ache between my thighs.
He groaned. “I want you, Neve.”
“Then have me.”
Vale floated us to the edge of the pool. Excitementfluttered in my core at the thought of him pressing me against the rock and taking me, so when he gripped my waist tighter and instead lifted me up and out of the pool, my eyebrows knitted together. “What are you doin?—”
My words died on my lips as he pulled up the sodden silk of my dress, exposing me before removing his tunic and giving me a glorious display of his muscled chest and the many intricate tattoos swirling on his skin. The two bear claws on his chest seemed to soak up the brilliant light in the cavern, making them look freshly inked. Vale tossed the tunic to the ground carelessly as his gaze trailed from my face to my thighs, spread on the rock. He licked his lips.
Never had I been one to have anxiety over my body, not even when I lived at the Vampire Court where thin females were prized, and I did not fit that mold. Not even with the meager rations they gave me. But this . . . the way he looked at me made me both excited and anxious in a way that I could not describe. I felt too much, tooseen.
“I’ve never seen something more beautiful,” Vale stated as though it were a fact moments before his face was buried between my thick thighs.
Air sucked through my teeth, and my channel pulsed as the Warrior Bear licked, sucked, and kissed my core. I’d known he was skilled in the arts of the bedroom but blazing stars, I learned something more about Vale daily. This skill of his was one I would, as his loving wife, request regularly.
My back arched as his tongue dipped inside me. A low rumble left Vale’s lips.
“You taste amazing.” He nipped at the apex of my folds and the tension within me ratcheted up higher and higher,threatening to spin to the stars as Vale’s adept tongue parted my folds, and his fingers played with my clit.
His free hand ran up my thigh, pulled at my back, and allowed him to bury his face harder against my wet flesh. I stared down at Vale, lips parted, unable to speak as heat and electricity built inside me. This beautiful male with his long dark hair splayed into the water behind him, brown eyes burning with desire and a tongue that had to be gifted from the god of love was mine. All mine. No matter what he said, I was never letting him go.
“Come for me, love.” Vale did not look up, though I had no doubt he felt my eyes on him. “Come on my tongue. Give me your nectar.”
And as though his words were a spell, that sweet tension that made my toes curl and my every nerve ending alight released. I moaned, my head tipping back to take in the gems shimmering and winking like stars.
“That’s good, my fiercequeen.”
“Bleeding moon,” I hissed as another wave of pleasure rolled through me before I went limp.
Vale expected my weakness though, for he’d already pushed himself up, out of the pool. Knees straddling my legs, he caught me and kissed me.
I blinked, still rocked by the bliss rolling through me. With ease I could not fathom, he scooted me back so that no part of either of us was in the water and lowered me to the ground.
“I want you all, Neve.”
“It’s time,” I whispered.
If the dead gods themselves appeared in the cavern withus, they couldn’t stop me from wanting him deep inside me at this moment. I ran a hand over him, savoring his deep breathing, his heartbeat, and how it sped up for me.
Vale lowered above me, one hand planting aside my shoulder as the other gripped his cock, standing tall and gleaming with pre-cum.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment,” he admitted as he stared into my eyes. “But I have to ask. You’re sure? You’re my queen, and I’ll not go a step further unless you say so.”
“Your queen and your wife and Ilove youVale, so please don’t make me wait longer.” I reached down and guided him to my entrance. “Please.”
