She gripped his hard cock, not knowing how she was going to fit all of him in her mouth, but she wanted to try. Orelia licked a line up the side of him and Vade moaned up at the sky, fingers digging into the grass.
“Fucking hells, that feels phenomenal,” he said. Orelia watched him react to her. He squirmed like she had when he’d been between her thighs. The view of his ridged stomach and sculpted chest made her slick between her legs.
She took as much of him as she could in her mouth, her underwear damp from the sounds he made. Orelia slowly bobbed her head, working her way further down his cock with each movement.
“Gods-damn, Orelia . . .”
He loosely gripped the back of her head and she bobbed faster. Orelia loved the control Vade had as he held her, though she was the one with all the power.
He made low grunts of pleasure as she worked him in her mouth, but she wanted to try everything and was too impatient to finish him like this.
“Stand up,” she ordered.
He looked at her curiously, doing as she said.
She rose with him, licking her lips as she pushed him against a tree.
Vade looked like he wanted to devour her.
She dropped to her knees, gripped the base of his glistening cock, and took him in her mouth again, looking up at him through her lashes as she slid as much as she could of him in and out.
“Oh, fuck . . .” Vade muttered.
She focused on pleasing him and listened to the sounds of his breathing intensify. His fingers found her hair as Orelia worked the length of him. When his breaths shortened and his cock managed to harden even more, she braced.
Vade grunted with her name on his lips as his pleasure slid down her throat. Orelia drank him dry, relishing in the way he twitched and moaned.
“Gods-dammit woman, you’re going to kill me with how fucking amazing that was.” Vade pulled her off the ground, gripped the back of her thighs and turned around, pressing her back to the tree.
She didn’t know how he was still hard, but he eased himself into her and fucked her against the pine. The rough bark at her back stirred a primal need inside her as she wrapped her legs and arms around him, letting him take her.
His shadows slithered over her clitoris while he thrust into her with deep strokes. It wasn’t long before Orelia orgasmed and screamed up at the sky, though no one would hear her pleasure through the ward.
When she was finished, they laid together on a blanket Vade pulled from his pack, naked and hands never straying far from oneanother. He laid on his back with Orelia draped over him. They didn’t speak for a while, enjoying the sun and the breeze, but a gnawing feeling worked its way up to her chest.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
Orelia looked up at him. “What do you mean?”
He paused the fingers that had been running through her hair. “I can feel you tensing up.”
Dread threatened to silence her words, but she needed to speak them.
“What is it?” he asked, concern drawing his brows together.
Orelia picked a blade of grass and began fiddling with it. “After we get the spell reversed, where will you go?”
He looked at her with unsurety, and the nerves started creeping in. “Well . . .”
Was he going to leave her?He was still the king’s executioner and had a job to do.Would he ask her to keep traveling with him?She waited on bated breath for his answer.
Vade brushed his knuckles across her cheek. “I meant it when I said I loved you. Seeing as how I’ve never said that to anyone before, I’m hoping the person I said it to would still be interested in staying with me, even after we become untethered.”
Orelia sat up and began dressing, not wanting to have this conversation naked in the middle of the woods. Vade did the same.
Once she was settled and sitting back on the blanket, she spoke. “I don’t want to leave you either, but you’ll be working for the king and traveling all over. I’ll rarely see you.”
Before he could respond, she cut in.
