My orgasm was coming hot and quick. My legs tightened around his body, pinning him down to the furs of our bed. I knew he liked me in this position, on top of him. He could see everything. His eyes flickered constantly, going from my face, to my lips, to my bobbing breasts, before trailing down to where we were joined. His gaze always heated when it landed there, when he saw the hot thickness of his cock plunging into my body, making slick, wet sounds that filled thevoliki.
“Come for me, wife,” he ordered, his voice dark and husky. His grin nearly stole my breath. “I can feel your cunt tightening on me. I know how close you are.”
I closed my eyes, a gasp threading up my throat when hisdakke—that hard bump at the base of his cock that throbbed with his own arousal—brushed my clit.
“Nik,” he growled, beginning to take control. “Look at me,rei sarkia.”
His hand reached up, wrapping around the back of my neck. He pulled me down until my breasts were pressed to his wide, strong chest. The change in position made him slide deeper and we both groaned. My sex fluttered as my eyes connected with his because this position placed my clit right over his hot and thrummingdakke…and he held me there.
“Oh gods,” I whispered, the words sounding strained and tight. “Wrune!”
His lips crashed against mine and as my orgasm exploded between my thighs, I perceived his hips moving, quick and demanding with his thrusts, as his grip kept me still for him. He fucked me through my pleasure, elongating it,strengtheningit.
When he finally broke our kiss, he roared with the intensity of his own release. I felt the heat lash against my inner walls, familiar and soright. As we huffed and panted, he continued to thrust lazily until the last drop of his seed was spent. Then he shuddered, his muscles loosening as he relaxed, boneless and sated, onto our furs.
I felt energized instead of tired, though it had been our second coupling of the night. Perhaps it was nerves, or adrenaline, considering that in the morning, Wrune and hisdarukkarswould journey to the Dead Mountain. And I would clear a path for them, as we’d agreed on.
My cheek was pressed to his chest, right over his thundering heart. I sensed his low chuckle before it ever rose from his throat. Just the sound brought a flutter of warmth swarming into my belly and when I peered up at him, his grin only strengthened that feeling.
His hand threaded through my hair, raking through the thick waves.
“What is it?” I asked, my own voice husky from my moans and my cries.
“Come here, wife,” he purred.
I knew what he wanted and so I leaned up, feeling his cock slide out of me as I kissed him. A shuddering sigh drifted from my lips when his tongue stroked mine. It was a deep, passionate, yet patient kiss. One with no urgency, only sensation. It sent a tingle down my spine and threatened to make me smile.
“I am undone for you,” came his words.
My breath hitched. I pulled away from his kiss, only to see him watching me. His red eyes were soft but watchful. Always observant.
A deep sigh escaped him as he cupped my jaw, rubbing his thumb across my reddened, swollen lips.
“How easy it was,” he murmured next, his tone softly bewildered.
My heart thundered. What was he saying?
I licked my lips and my tongue met his thumb briefly.
“But just look at you,” he said, his brows furrowing. “Leika.”
Beautiful.
I bit my lip, hearing the softness of that word, theaweof it. Before Wrune, I remembered wondering what it would be like to bechosenby someone. Chosen above all things.
In that moment, I had an inkling of what that would feel like. I saw it laid before me, open and vast.
“There was a time when you wondered why you ever desired me,” I whispered to him, pushing up so I could look down at his face. My hands stroked the golden tattoos that wove across his chest and traced the raised scars that ran underneath them. “There was a time when you couldn’t stand the sight of me.”
Wrune blinked. His hands came to rest on my hips before trailing softly down my outer thighs, keeping me in place.
“Lysi,” he murmured. “But I neverreallysaw you. Well,nik, that is not entirely true.”
“What do you mean?”
“I saw you in your entirety in the fog. At first sight. And the sight of you nearly brought me to my knees,” he murmured. “But then mykassikariretreated from me, leaving another creature in her place.”
I knewkassikarimeant ‘fated mate.’ Just hearing that word from his lips brought a burst of warmth to my chest, heating my cheeks.
