“I will when you open your damn eyes, Calamity.”
“If I open my eyes, you will be gone. And my heart can’t take it.” It’s already cracking. Let me have this fantasy as I meet my end.
Cool air washes down my chest and heat licks at my nipple, making me groan and arch my spine.
“More,” I beg when his mouth leaves my breast.
“No.”
No? How dare he. I’m hearing my death knell, and he’s refusing to pleasure me one last time?
My eyes snap open with a growl. Hart hovers over me with his eyes narrowed, candlelight playing across his sharp cheekbones and powerful jaw.
I blink as I take in the cosy sleeping pod. Big enough for two, the small cave is a perfect little slice of peace and tranquillity. But what it is not is an icy lake claiming my life, and Hart is whole, not lying lifeless on the ground.
I drag my teeth over my bottom lip. It’s a little swollen from his kisses. The sting makes heat flare through my veins and shivers dance down my spine. We are safe, alive, and whole.
He kisses my cheeks and lips once more, the salty taste startling me. I must have been crying.
“You back with me?” Hart growls as he shifts, like he’s about to move away. My legs snap around his hips and hook together over his butt, keeping him close. I need to feel alive. He groans as his large erection presses against my core.
“I am back,” I whisper. I’m not sure where everyone else is sleeping, but I’m not eager to have my sister or Charming overhear us.
“Good. Now I need to sleep, Calamity, so whatever you were dreaming about, stop.”
I arch my spine, creating more friction for us both. “I need to break the nightmare. If I go back to sleep now, I’ll probably re-enter it.”
He tilts his head like he’s determining if I’m lying. I’m not. Not really. I do drop back into dreams after waking up, but I tend to stay awake after nightmares.
The head of his cock rubs against my clit, causing my pulse to flutter. He’s still got his breeches on, and I’m still wearing panties. Too much fabric.
“What do you need?” he snaps.
“To feel,” I utter.
His hands grip my knees, and he forces my legs free of his waist. I huff in disappointment. He chuckles, low and knowing, before tearing my panties free from my body. Okay, now we are talking.
Grabbing a pillow, he urges my ass in the air and positions me on it before pushing my knees apart and flattening them to the bed. “You are fucking perfect,” he says with a look of pure adoration in his eyes. They never fail to make me feel like the sexiest woman they’ve ever seen.
Hart drops his head to kiss me senseless, my breathing picking up speed and causing me to writhe beneath him. But he keeps me pinned to the mattress, unable to get any relief from the ache he’s creating between my legs, and something deeper inside me begs for his touch.
“Hart,” I whisper against his lips. “Please.” I’m not above begging to get an orgasm.
His mouth leaves mine, and he descends lower and lower until he’s breathing across my core. The caress is almost painful, but he’s got me immobile and unable to chase what I need from him.
“If I taste you, I’ll not be stopping. Are you ready for that?” he checks.
“I was ready for you diurnals ago.”
He laughs, and his mouth descends, licking a path from my clit, through the liquid heat, and down to my ass. I suck in a shocked breath at the sensation, which he repeats, again and again.
“Fuck yes, you like it a little dirty,” he groans. My stomach clenches, and I cry out when he ventures a little deeper into that forbidden hole. He stabs his tongue inside my pussy before scraping his teeth over my clit. My legs tremble with the need to come.
My hands tangle in his hair, and I tug to demonstrate where I want him. He resists before pulling away completely. “Hart,” I plead. This is cruel and unusual punishment. I need him to push me over. Now.
“Hang on, Calamity,” he snaps. He sheds his breeches and underwear, crawls up my body, hooks one knee under his arm, and opens me up with his hips. The head of his thick cock rubs against my clit before sliding down past my pussy and teasing my ass. I tense and shake my head.
He smirks. “Not yet. We’ll get you there, and when we do, you’ll come harder than you’ve ever done before.”
