He leaned forward at once, gazing deeply at her as she leaned on the closed door and bolted the door shut.
“Dinnae come tae me with those feelings.” He held his hands up in front of her, in a position of surrender.
She chewed her lip. From the look of pain on his face now, she knew he could read it all.
It was fear of what was to come and also need. She had to see him, just to be with him and to feel him.
“I cannae stay away.” She crossed toward him quickly, but he stood and walked around his chair, putting it between them. “Ye running from me now, Kai?”
“There is a feast downstairs right now fer yer betrothal taethatman.” He thrust a finger toward the door. “And ye come tae me feeling likethis?Wantingme?”He looked helpless. “Ye ken I wouldnae be able tae hold back.”
“Then dinnae,” she begged, walking around the chair. He moved the other way until they both came to a stop in front of the fire. “I cannae make sense of what I am doing anymore, why am I daeing this and performing such a charade, but I have nay intention of staying away from ye, Kai. I will nae stop this now it has begun.”
She reached for his hand, tangling their fingers together. He looked in pain as he lifted that hand and turned it over, kissing his way down her wrist.
“Did ye bolt the door?” he whispered, hungrily.
“Aye.” She nodded.
It was like the release of sudden pressure. They both moved toward one another, meeting in the middle for a kiss. He tasted familiar now, the movement of his lips something she knew wonderfully well. Before she really knew what she was doing, she was pulling on him, dragging him toward her as she tugged at his tunic.
The last time they had made love in that forest, they had both been fully clothed as it was so cold, but tonight, she wanted things to be different.
“Nothing between us tonight,” she whispered between kisses as she started to pull on his tunic.
“Ye want tae make love tae me while yer betrothed is enjoying his feast?” Kai asked breathlessly.
“Aye,” she breathed.
He closed his eyes. For one wild second, she thought he was going to turn her down, then he suddenly reached for his tunic too and together they tugged it over his head. When his chestwas exposed, she reached to touch him, but he was already reaching for her own clothes, pulling at the laces holding her gown together.
They stole kisses as she trialed her fingers down his chest, and he pulled the gown off her. The stays were practically torn in two as he got rid of them as well, and the chemise was thrown over her head. She stood before him, completely bare as he pushed down his trews.
They crashed together again, grasping hands exploring bare skin. She touched his shoulders, being careful of the smaller bandage now across his back, then his toned abdomen, his hips, and reached for his length, just as his fingers moved around the curve of her butt and reached between her legs, finding her wet center. He slid his fingers inside, hitting a perfect pleasure spot that had her itching to raise her leg in the air as she wrapped her fingers tighter around his length. They both looked each other in the eye, pleasuring one another together for a minute, before he released her.
Kai laid himself down on the fur rug, pulling Ava over him. She landed on her hips above him as he directed her, moving his hands from her waist to her hips, resting her body until it hovered over his length. He teased her with his length, pushing it just a little inside her, then lifting her higher and withdrawing himself again. She groaned in frustration, but he shushed her softly.
“We dinnae want tae be caught, dae we?” he said playfully.
Ava nodded, but batted his hands away from her hips, loving the way he chuckled at her taking control. Ava pressed her body down over him, marveling at how deep he penetrated inside her in this position. She experimented, first just rocking her body back and forth, then raising herself up and down, staring as his cheeks pinkened and his jaw fell open as he watched her movements.
At one point, he gripped the rug beneath her, letting her have full control as she rested her hands on his abdomen and leaned back, finding a beautiful angle that hit so many thrilling points inside of her. She couldn’t stop moving, couldn’t even think about halting what they were doing. She even thought that if someone, somehow, managed to break the bolt on the door and come in at that moment, she would have carried on regardless, desperate to feel more and more of Kai.
She moved faster, just as his hands reached up and explored her. He gripped her breasts playfully, his fingers toying with her areoles, then they slid down to her stomach and around her hips, reaching around to grip her butt. A fresh wetness escaped her as she leaned forward, rocking faster and faster against him.
“Ah, Ava,” he groaned. “Ye are mine.”
With sudden movement, he took control. He flipped the two of them over, so she was on her back, her hips spread wide around him as he entered her fast. Her body lost control at the sight of him above her as he pushed in and out of her, taking her without restraint. She groaned as he leaned down to kiss her, just as she tipped over that edge.
She was in the midst of her that cascading euphoria when she felt him about to pull out.
Dinnae leave me now.
She reached around and held tightly onto his waist, holding him to her. He bucked toward her just twice more, clearly taking her cue and finishing inside of her. A great groan escaped him, one he struggled to muffle as that wetness filled their connection.
He looked down at her, their bodies frozen, both heated and sweaty as their hands gripped to one another.
“We risked –”
