I didn’t have time to ask that out loud.Karim moved lightning-fast again.One second his hands were cupping my ass and the next, I was being pulled down to his lap.And onto his silveryhardness.

I gasped at the sudden fullness as he entered me in one go.All the way to the hilt.

“I’m sorry.”He stilled, worry clear in his expression.“I did not know that humans–You’re so tight.”His voice was strained, filled with genuine surprise.

“It’s alright.”His cock stretched me and filled me completely, but I’d experienced only a twinge thanks to how wet he’d made me.However, in case this was a taste of the elves’ roughness that Deidre had warned me about… “Just be gentler with me, okay?”

He gave me a firm nod, like a solemn promise.

“Now move for me, my Prince.”

He nodded again, all seriousness.“Yes, my flower.It won’t take long.”

With those cryptic words, he lowered my back to the ground and fulfilled my wish.

Yours

Karim took full control of my hips, making sure I met every thrust of his.Shallow at first, until my pussy relaxed around his girth, then deep and so good they sparked pleasure within me every single time.

But as he began moving faster, I realized he would take us both toward the precipice too quickly.And I wanted to keep us in this moment longer.To feel more of him–not just his cock.I craved to have our bodies in full contact, naked and sweaty and truly one.Not me being partially undressed and him with his dagger still strapped to the side of his thigh.

I put my hand on top of his on my waist, but he groaned, “After!”He had his eyes closed, focused entirely on the task at hand.

“Karim, I need you!”

“I need you, too,” tore out of him.

He shifted us, commanding my body with ease, until my ass was back on the ground and he was poised over me.Arms braced on neither side of me, he resumed his breathtaking thrusts.It was still only our lower bodies that were in contact, even his long hair somehow staying out of the way, but now every time he slid inside me, he was brushing my clit.

He’d misinterpreted what I needed from him, but it was too late.My orgasm was so close.Seeing Karim look down at how well I was taking him brought me several steps closer to cresting.

I felt him growing larger, his cock throbbing deep in my pussy, and then he was coming with a melodic groan.His hot release triggered my own, and I threw my head back on a moan.Not a strong orgasm, but an orgasm nonetheless.

I should be happy, but I felt hurt.This should have been a moment of ultimate intimacy between us, of our connection blooming fully, but instead it had been about taking pleasure, barely any feelings involved.

“It is done now,” Karim said as he released my thighs from his hold.

My heart squeezed, and I turned my head away from him, eyes shut.I didn’t want him to see the pain those words caused me.Dissatisfaction after sex was something I had experience with, but treating the act so clinically?When I thought he was my soulmate?It was like a dagger to the chest.

He’d spoken of braid linkage between us, of his readiness to put his feelings for me before his royal duties.He’d called me the most precious flower… All I felt now was used.

But I had only myself to blame.We were of two different worlds!How could I let myself forget that Karim was an elf, albeit with a human mother?He had grown up in this cold world where touch was frowned upon, he was part of it.So why would he treat sex as lovemaking?No, it was only a means for release and creating life:prepare the female as fast as possible, enter, unload, anddone.

Yeah, he was right about thedonebit.The damage was done, and I didn’t know if we could fix this.Right now, I needed space.

His finger brushed my chin–a silent request for me to face him.I opened my eyes and turned toward him, still hovering over me ashe was.

Whatever he saw on my face made him flinch as if I’d slapped him.“My flower, what is it?I thought this moment would make you rejoice–”

A bitter laugh escaped my lips.“Get off me.Please.”

“But, Jasmine–”

“Please!”My voice shook this time.“What more do you want?It is done, you finished, now leave me be.”

“Finished?”His brow furrowed further before his face went slack with realization.“Is this how a moss interaction between humans ends?With the male leaving once he fills his female up, as soon as Nature’s law is respected?”
