Owen kept right on sucking, licking, and kissing asthe orgasm ripped through me, trying to bring me as much pleasure as possible. Finally, when my body had stilled, he lifted his head and looked at me.
“Is my lady pleased?” he murmured.
“Exceptionally. Now, come here, you,” I growled.
I grabbed his hand and pulled him toward me. Owen laughed and climbed back onto the couch with me. Our mouths locked together, our tongues dueled back and forth,and our caresses became quicker, harder, and more intense.
Eventually, I flipped him over and teased his long, hard length with my tongue and mouth the same way he had teased me, trying to bring him as much pleasure as he had given me, as though this was the first time we’d been together instead of the hundredth. But in some ways, every time with Owen felt like the first time, and I always lovedexploring all the hard, muscled planes of his body, from the scar that cut across his chin to his broad shoulders and all the way down his chest.
When Owen was ready, he covered himself with the condom, then picked me up and settled me on his lap. I looked into his eyes, then rocked forward, taking him deep inside me with one smooth motion. We both groaned, and he held on to my hips, urging meon as I surged forward time and time again, taking him deeper and deeper inside me, until we both reached the very peak of our pleasure and plunged over the edge together.
The humble blacksmith and the pirate queen assassin had pleased each other very much indeed.
Afterward, we lay tangled up together on the couch, covered with a soft blanket, basking in the afterglow, as well as the flamesstill crackling in the fireplace.
Owen drifted off to sleep with his arms wrapped around me. I put my head on his chest and let the strong, steady beat of his heart lull me to sleep as well. My last thought before I slipped into the quiet, soothing blackness was about the ren faire.
Winter’s Web, The Ides of Winter, whatever you wanted to call it. The name didn’t matter, only the fact that Owenand I had survived it the way we always did, just as we would survive all the challenges with Tucker, Mason, and the Circle that were looming on the horizon.
Together.
