Sven shifted his hips to a new angle and within seconds, Bryn lost control and came undone. When she stiffened and cried out, her muscles gripped him tighter than ever and he lost the ability to hold off.
His own stifling cry echoed as he followed close behind her and came so hard that he thought he'd pass out from the pleasure..
Afterwards, they lay on the cold floor, wrapped in each other’s arms, with Bryn's head on his shoulder. He stroked her hair while she drew little circles on his chest with her finger. Despite the fact that the floor was really uncomfortable, he never wanted to move. In that cave, at that moment, it was just the two of them and nothing else mattered.
She stirred and stretched. And then he felt her shiver.
Reality replaced the passion of moments before.
“Come on. We need to get dressed before we freeze to death.” He stood and grabbed her jacket that he’d been laying on. “Here. Put this on.”
“Let me get my clothes on first.” She tripped while she tried to put her jeans on. “It was hot in here just a little bit ago.”
His body stirred at the thought, but he pushed the sensations from his mind. They had to get back to the castle.
Bryn looked at him while she slid into her coat. “Where is Lars? I was worried they had both of you.”
Sven kicked at the embers to extinguish them. There was just enough moonlight to provide them the ability to see in the cave. “He’s at the castle trying to figure out who is betraying us.”
“Whoever it is has my phone number so they’re close by,” Bryn advised with a dry tone. “And they knew you weren’t at the castle.”
“Speaking of, how did you manage to slip out again with no one seeing you?” He had his suspicions but needed to hear it from her. “I should have asked you that before. We have double guards at all the gates.”
She snorted and told him the story about climbing the fence. “Not my most elegant moment, I’m sure. I just hope no one saw me.”
He knew she meant the words flippantly, but they just made him angry. “That’s the whole point. Someone should have seen you. Someone should have been at that door.”
“It makes no sense. How could anyone, ill intent or not, have known what door I was going to go out? I had to wander and sneak around until I found it.”
“You answered your own question. Whoever it is only had to leave one door clear. He, or they, knew that you’d find it eventually.” What scared him the most was what their backup plan could have been if she hadn’t attempted to escape the castle.
She laid her head against his shoulder. “Does Lars even know where you are?”
He stiffened but didn’t answer.
“I guess not. I wondered why he would let you go to the deep by yourself.” Bryn let out a low whistle. “Dude, you are in so much trouble.”
“Tell me about it,” he growled. “Twice I go alone and I get shot both times.” He hugged her. “Maybe we can just not tell him about this time.”
She pushed on his chest. “Oh no. He’s going to find out. I can’t have any husband of mine sneaking around and getting himself shot, especially if I’m not around to save his ass.”
His lips crushed hers. He didn’t dare tell her how much he loved the word husband. She responded and the kiss deepened. He finally pulled away.
“We have to go. Much more of that and we’re never leaving this cave.”
She giggled and rubbed her arms. “Much more of this cold and we’re going to have to make love twenty-four seven just to survive.”
He kissed her nose. “I could live with that.”
“Not for long,” came her retort.
He grinned in the dark. “But what a way to go.”
She pushed on his arm. “Oh shut up and get us out of here. I need coffee. Really hot coffee.”
He quickly shifted and lowered his wing so she could climb on his back. He waited until she secured her jacket and hood to block the wind before he launched off the edge and took to the sky. He stayed high to avoid any interference from below. He had no idea who hunted them, but he wasn’t going to give them a target.
Sven could feel Bryn’s excitement as they soared toward the castle. Any qualms he had about her being frightened of his dragon form vanished, and his huge body shuddered with pleasure that she accepted all of him.
