And between her thighs…
Vok.
I really had made a mess of her.
The long lashes of my release had made it up to her belly. Thick seed mingled in her curls and dripped down her pink slit.
Just the sight made my cock stir to life once more. Reaching out my fingers, I touched her there, brushing my thumb through the folds.
Her body jerked, her small gasp made my gaze dart up to her. She was looking down at herself too, her lips parted in surprise, as if she couldn’t believethiswas the state of her own body.
“Leika,” I rumbled.Beautiful. Those wide green eyes came to me and another deep flush made its way up her neck. I grinned briefly and she blinked, her eyes lowering to my mouth.
Before she could say anything, I pushed off the bed, padding to the filled water basin, dunking a fresh cloth inside and wringing out the excess.
When I returned to her, I kneeled between her splayed thighs. Though I was tempted to leave my seed marking her sex, I didn’t want Mina feeling discomfort from it. So, gently, I began to wash her. Her breath hitched and her legs squirmed. But she never closed them to my touch.
When she was cleaned there, I wiped away the seed on her belly. And then I ran the cloth underneath her buttocks, remembering how slippery I’d made her there too.
I took my time.
Then I moved the cloth back between her thighsjustto make sure I’d cleaned her there thoroughly. A small sound rose in her throat, caught between a whimper and a moan, when I let the cloth linger against her clit. When the soft, wet drag of it teased her.
My nostrils flared. She was staring at me, her once widened gaze going half-lidded once more. Between us, my cock was thick and hard, mydevahanging heavy beneath me.
I tossed the cloth off the bed. It landed somewhere near the fire basin but I forgot it a moment later as I crawled between her thighs, going to my front on the furs.
I need her again, I thought, my mouth watering with anticipation.
My hands slid underneath her, tilting her hips up. I heard her suck in a breath and hold it. Waiting for me too?
When my tongue met her clit, her breathy cry rang out, loud and beautiful. A release.
“Until the sun rises,” I murmured to her, my lips brushing against the little bud with the words, “you’re mine.Lysi?”
I will keep her pinned to these furs until then, I vowed silently.
Her gaze burned into me. Her shyness had faded with her desire, with her curiosity, as quickly as it had come on.
Her legs widened even further and I rumbled my approval, pressing a kiss to her inner thigh in satisfaction.
“Lysi,” she breathed.
Chapter Forty-Two
“Oh,” came Hukri’s quiet exclamation when she stepped into thevolikithat morning. “Vorakkar, forgive me.”
Wrune was crouched next to the bathing tub that I was currently steaming in. His fingers were trailing a line in the water and he seemed content to watch me bathe. We hadn’t been speaking but the air felt charged, vibrant.
The space between my thighs was still tingling from all of Wrune’s thorough attentions. For hours, since I’d woken to darkness and his touch at my breasts, he’d demanded a plethora of exquisite orgasms, wringing them from me expertly and without mercy.
Truth be told, I was still astonished by everything that had transpired between us in such a short amount of time. The change in him was night and day. I couldn’t understand it.
And yet…I liked it. He’d slept the night at my side. It was the first time in my life I’d lain beside a male, felt his arms around me as I drifted off. I’d felt safe. Warm. Protected. My sleep had been dreamless and energizing. Despite the early hour I’d woken, I felt like I could accomplish anything.
Flushing, I also knew Ireallyliked everything we’d done that morning too. Though Wrune had never entered me. He’d only touched and licked and kissed. He’d come again on the furs, thrusting into them as he lapped between my thighs.
But he’d never once attempted to push into me.
