She didn’t think he’d enjoy her telling him what to do and taking control, but his physical response was telling. Orelia took his bottom lip in between her teeth, feeling a sensual, womanly power come over. “Such a good boy, doing as he’s told. Fucking me with his delicious cock.”
Vade turned into a wild animal.
His shadows burst to life around him, finding her clitoris and vibrating so intensely that she went straight into an orgasm. Vade spilled himself inside her as she screamed his name, her pleasure erupting, nearly blinding. They came together, a feverish blend of flushed bodies and splashing water as they found shared euphoria.
She thought she may have blacked out had Vade not gripped her face and forced her to look at him. “Again,” he ordered. Shadows surrounded her body, touching her, teasing her, loving her as he did.
“Make me forget my name,” she pleaded.
He did.
Orelia lost track of how many orgasms she had, and how many he had. They made love to each other, shifting between slow and sweet and rough and wild.
It could have been marks, days, she wasn’t sure. They made use of every surface of the cabin and didn’t stop until neither of them could hold their eyes open a second longer. They drifted off to sleep in a pile of blankets on the floor with Orelia curled into Vade’s side, his arm draped around her.
Nothing mattered except the two of them and the love that had blossomed in the dark, bringing them into each other’s light.
thirty-three
After a morning ofbeing tangled together, Vade pried himself off her long enough to ready himself for the day’s journey.
Orelia followed his lead and changed into one of the tunics and pants he’d bought her in Ricaboro before gathering the rest of her belongings. When Vade came out of the washroom, he was back in his formidable garb and utterly gorgeous.
She jumped into his arms and their kisses turned needy.
“We have to go,” Vade said, though his hands were full of her ass.
“I don’t want to,” she whined.
He kissed her on the forehead. “I don’t want to leave this cabin either, but we need to get the spell reversed. I’m even more terrified for you now. I don’t want anything happening to you because of me, so the sooner we get to Gretern’s Keep, the better.”
He put out the fire in the hearth with his darkness and Orelia picked up the plumrose he’d left on her pillow the night before. She inhaled the rose’s delicious scent and set it on the bedside table. Maybe it would bring the next occupants luck in love, too.
“Will we make it to the Keep today?” she asked.
Vade slung his pack over his shoulders, then handed Orelia hers. “It’s only a few marks away, if we can actually manage to make it out of here.”
She threaded her arms through the straps. “I guess I’ll stop throwing myself at you then.”
He ushered her out the front door, then slung an arm over her shoulder and kissed her temple. “Please don’t ever stop doing that.”
They left the noise of Ravere behind, letting the chirping birds and the late morning sun guide them into the forest. In a few hours their lives would no longer be tied together, though Orelia knew her heart was forever attached to his.
Vade was insatiable.
Once they’d made it into the forest away from civilization, he pounced. They couldn’t make it five minutes before he was pinning her to a tree again, running his lips along her neck, hands roaming every part of her.
Orelia wasn’t much more controlled. She couldn’t get enough of him.
They slowly made their way east with multiple stops in between to let the birds listen to their moans.
Vade laid her in a clearing and formed a quick ward before stripping her bare. Orelia hurriedly pulled his tunic over his head and tossed it aside. The cool grass felt wonderful on her back, and thedappled sunlight flitted over them in pieces. As much as she wanted him inside her again, Orelia stopped him from entering her.
“There’s something I want to do that I’ve never done,” she said, smiling up at him.
He quirked a brow. “Which is?”
She rolled them over so Vade was on his back. Orelia slid down his body, kissing his tawny skin that had deepened in the sun.
