‘You’re overthinking it, Sheba,’ he rasped moments later, arms encircling her from behind, pressing a kiss to her temple.
‘How am I supposed to reconcile the man who carried me up a mountain and the one with the hero with a thousand battles under his belt?’ she muttered.
‘Think only of this, my soul bleeds like yours,salkia,’ he implored, stoking her shoulders, his touch gliding down her back.
Sheba kept her back to him, her reflection in the glass pale and fragile, not quite listening to his murmured words. ‘Why are you standing in a guest suite with a mortal medic who has little to offer you?’
Idan cupped her breasts behind, his thumbs flicking her nipples.
Because I fokkin’ can’t get enough of her,his sub vox rumbled in her mind, sending a sensual jolt to her clit.
He turned her around, forcing her to confront the raw honesty in his molten eyes.
‘Divinity is a cage,salkia,’ he rasped, his touch tracing the line of her collarbone. ‘The High Council, the crowns of Sivania, the blood-soaked glory of the Seven-Fold Legion, are traps of eternal misery if you have no love. I spent millennia wielded as a weapon, with little passion or care for my soul. I no longer hunger for the songs of gods or the battles of ancient thrones. I crave and yearn only for you.’
He leaned down, pressing his forehead against hers, his breath hitching in his chest.
‘I’ll trade the heavens over and over to kiss the pulse in your wrist. I want the simplicity of your fire. I want to be a man who loves a woman, without the shadow of an immortally empty existence looming over me.’
Sheba gazed up at him, her doubt dissolving into a fierce, localized heat.
Now, can we stop talking as I’m already so tired from doing so this evening, and freakin’ make love?
Sheba huffed.Naam, my warrior god lover.
He led her to the velvet-upholstered divan that lined the curve of the viewport. There, they lost themselves to desperate, sensual reclamation.
He stripped his clothes and hers and lowered his head between her thighs.
She quivered as his tongue lashed her clit, dipping into her pussy to thrust into her.
His hands plumped and tweaked her nipples, as she shuddered under him.
Grunting, he surged to his feet, and she captured his cock in her hand.
He stroked her hair as she sucked on his onyx head and licked below his jutting member. Idan groaned when she tongued all along the throbbing vein that ran all the way down his length.
With a growl, he lifted her into his arms and strode to the wall, where hefokkedher against a bulkhead.
Pistoning into her, his eyes burned into her, spilling with emotion. He thrust into her, palming her ass and thrusting with abandon.
He took her with a wild passion, his glyphs glowing, contrasting with her honeyed complexion.
He came with a guttural roar into her nape, her pussy rippling and squeezing him tight as he scorched her with his cum.
He collapsed to the floor with her in his embrace, his fingers playing on her clit, giving her royal treatment as she bucked and mewled through a second orgasm.
The cabin fell into a heavy stillness as they came down, breaths mingling, hands gliding over each other.
Idan held her to his chest, his arms a fortress, his presence absolute, a singular anchor in the shifting tides of hyperspace.
Sheba traced the cooling lines of his glyphs as her mind quieted.
Stay with me, forever,his rumbling sub vox whispered as he kissed the crown of her head.
I’ve nowhere else to go, handsome,she murmured, closing her eyes as the ship hurtled through infinity.
