“You are so beautiful. The most uniquely and beautifully made creature I’ve laid my eyes on. And I want to savor your pleasure until you are limp with ecstasy.”
His words made her shudder with desire. She had never heard such sensual words from a partner. Never expected to hear them from Savine.
“Do your best, Savine,” she said with false bravado. She looked into those dusty blue eyes that seemed to look straight into her and see her for all that she was.
He kneeled to her breast and took it into his mouth. His tongue against her taut nipple made her buck on the bed, and he pinned her hips down as he sucked her. She could feel the heat rising from her body as theneedto have her melting into him grew.
Avery had to touch him, had to feel some part of him as he explored her body. She sank her hands into his long black hair, loosening his bun. She stroked the cool crown on his head before he paused and lifted himself up onto his knees.
“I forgot all about that thing. We don’t need the boughs getting in our way right now,” Savine said, tapping the crown of cedar boughs on his head. His essence stirred under his skin as the crown seemed to sink back into him. Avery gasped, but Savine looked relieved. “I’m glad to know I can control the crown like a true king.”
“I’m not going to lie—that was pretty freaky. Where did it go?” Avery asked, leaning on her elbows as she studied his head. No trace of the crown remained.
Savine shrugged. “I have more important matters than to wonder where the boughs disappeared to.”
At that, he leaned back down to Avery’s breasts. She felt him blow a tantalizingly cool breath against her hard nipple. The cool air made her cry out. Savine squeezed one of her breasts in his hand while he kissed and played with her nipple.
Avery needed to feel more of him. She reached up and pulled his light linen undershirt off him. Freeing his upper body, she kneaded his back and his sides with her hands. Her hands worked to smooth those hateful scars that ran all across his skin. She would heal these wounds if it took her a lifetime with him.
Savine shuddered above her as she touched those old wounds. He sat up, straddling her naked body, and he pinned both her arms over her head.
“Not now, my flower. All I want is to worship you.”
Avery looked into his eyes and saw the need in them. He wanted to make this about her. It was, she knew, the first time he wanted to be with a woman in a very, very long time. Why would she deny him?
“Okay. I can do that,” Avery replied.
“Good girl,” his husky voice murmured in her ear. “Let me make my soulmate moan.” Savine captured her mouth with his. His kiss was seeking, like he needed her to let him know she hadn’t changed her mind.
She pulled back, panting a little as she said, “I want this. I want you and only you.”
Savine let out a growl, and his face looked incredulous, but he didn’t argue with her. Instead, he began licking and tasting his way down her side and across her stomach.
Avery smelled the forest musk of him as he worked his way down her body. She wondered how the hell fae smelled so damn good? It must be some sort of biological thing—she was jealous of it. She probably smelled like sweat and sex right now.
He pulled his mouth from her hips, and it left her feeling empty without that direct connection to their bond. “Savine,” she moaned. She was already losing control over herself, and he hadn’t even touched between her thighs yet.
Savine settled himself between her legs, spreading her apart. He looked down at her, fully bared to him, and she had never felt so vulnerable. The cold air of the room hit the center of her and made her gasp.
“Please. Please,” she cried, and she honestly did not know where her voice came from. Her need to have him touch her overwhelmed her.
“Patience, my little flower,” he muttered, his voice guttural with desire. As he drew her knees up, angling her to be more open for him, she heard him whisper, “So beautiful.” He brought a finger down, slicking through her wetness. He took his finger into his mouth and sucked her taste from his lips, letting out a deep groan that shuttered through him.
Avery couldn’t breathe as Savine lowered his mouth down to her mound and breathed her in. Savine squeezed and caressed the inside of both her thighs.
Savine lowered himself further down until she felt the heat of his breath at the very center of her. She felt the slick heat of his tongue separate her sensitive folds, so tentatively, so sweetly it made her heart ache. Never. Never had she ever had someone approach her with such tenderness and desire.
She could feel the moan vibrate off his mouth as he tasted her. Suddenly, it was as if something unleashed in Savine, and he began licking and sucking her in a way that made Avery feel like she would come undone already.
She reached down and pressed her fingers into his hair, and as she did, Savine slid his mouth onto her clit. A pulse of pleasure rockedthrough her as his tongue teased her most sensitive part. Avery ground against Savine’s face as he pushed a finger deep into her heated center. This felt sublime. It was all she could think as she rode him shamelessly. The pressure deep within her grew and grew as Savine pumped two fingers through her wet center. His mouth continued to suck and tease her sensitive nerves until the sounds coming from Avery were not at all within her control.
Deeper and deeper the pressure built as he rang her desire out of her. Tendrils of heat felt like they were sliding off her and into him. With every intimate touch of his fingers, Avery felt herself near her breaking point.
Savine circled and sucked on her clit. And with it, she felt her climax shatter through her as Savine pumped his finger into her, lapping up her pleasure as she drove her hips deeper into his face, pushing him deeper and harder into her core.
Avery panted Savine’s name as her inner muscles pulsed around his finger. Savine licked and stroked her through every pulse and ripple, and when her climax ended, he lifted his head from between her thighs and met her gaze.
“You are my paradise,” he said. Savine slowly raised himself up on his knees before he moved beside her.
