Riftan raised his head, panting. When he tried to stand up, Maxi pushed his shoulders down and shook her head. They could not stop here. Just a little more and she thought she would be able to feel the release her body was aching for.
But Riftan was cruel. He stopped, rising and pushing heronto the bed. “Can you wait a little longer?”
“I don’t w-want to….”
“It’s been a while. I don’t want to rush it.”
As if to appease her, he gently caressed her hip with his big hand and pecked her temple. Maxi trembled like a newborn fawn, looking up at him with desperate eyes. Unable to resist, he returned her gaze before devouring her lips.
A moment later, barely managing to come to his senses, he covered her with a blanket and slipped into a dressing gown.
“Make it quick.”
The servants entered the room with a tub full of steaming water. She hid under the blanket and tried to soothe her tender breasts with her hands. It took a few minutes for the servants to adjust the warmth of the bath, place an extra pail of water by the fireplace, and arrange a change of clothes, soap, and a towel on top of the cabinet. It felt like hours to Maxi.
Riftan, evidently feeling just as impatient, said sharply, “That’s enough. Now, get out.”
“O-Our apologies, my lord.”
Flustered, the servants hastily picked up the empty pails and left the room. As soon as she heard the door closing, Maxi threw the blanket off and grabbed at his hips, pulling him forward. With a moan, Riftan pried her hands off so he could sit and hoist her onto his lap. Maxi yanked his gown open and wound her legs around his bare waist. His hard length pushed into her wet entrance, filling her deepest parts.
“Ah!”
Her spine tingled as she gazed up at him, her pupils blownwide with desire. His face, engulfed in passion, was equal parts fierce and gentle. Riftan pulled her impossibly closer, leaving no space between them. His body shook as he tried to maintain control. Maxi, however, could no longer wait. She rocked her hips, grinding into him.
Riftan drew in a sharp breath and tightened his grip on her until she stilled. Deep lines creased his forehead as he whispered, “Wait, wait! Maxi…”
“R-Riftan.”
“Wait.”
Trying his best to calm her, Riftan stroked her sweat-slicked back with his callused hand. “I want to be gentle. I…don’t want to hurt you.”
Maxi stared at him in disbelief. She was tired of hearing those words. She nipped hard at his lip, rubbing against him as a spasm tremored through her thighs. Riftan stiffened before crashing backward onto the bed and thrusting up into her. She tightened around him, sobbing a moan as his passion quickly overwhelmed her. He lifted his mouth to her breast, groaning and beginning to move in earnest.
It felt like she was riding a stallion too powerful to control. Unable to keep up with his speed, her thighs convulsed, searing bliss flaring between her legs. She cried out and shuddered above him, completely losing self-control.
Her climax crackled like lightning through her body, and then a momentary fear gripped her as Riftan took her beyond what she thought was her limit. Unable to bear the intense pleasure continuing to tear through her body, Maxi instinctively tried to twist away.
Riftan pulled her down, nipping her ear and growling, “No. You’re the one who drove me this far. Stay with me tothe end.”
“W-Wait! I cannot t-take it.”
“You can.”
He grunted through clenched teeth and rocked his hips with renewed fervor. For a moment, her vision turned white, her whole body taut as a tightly wound bowstring. She cried out as waves of pleasure crashed over her again, and she could feel the muscles in Riftan’s back stiffen before he shuddered to a finish after her. They clung to each other through the aftershocks, tangled together as one.
After a while, Riftan mumbled in a daze, “Hell…I can’t…even tell where we are.”
Maxi raised her sweat-slicked face and looked at him nervously. “Are you s-saying…it was bad?”
“Impossible. I would gladly slay another dragon if that’s what it took to experience that again.”
He grinned and planted a soft kiss on her shoulder. Relieved, Maxi pulled him closer and buried her face in his neck. With a chuckle, he rose from the bed with her still in his arms.
“We shouldn’t waste a good bath.”
He walked over to the tub and stepped inside. Maxi released a sigh when the lukewarm water engulfed her flushed body. Cupping a handful of water, Riftan trickled it over her neck before leaning in to gently suck on her wet skin.
