War.
Yet he made love to her slowly, and with the tenderest of care, making sure not to hurt or harm her. Ever careful of how much weight he placed against her body. It was such a wickedly sweet sensation of his hips sliding against hers. Of him kissing her while giving her unbelievable pleasure.
Never would she have imagined anything more glorious than this. More incredible than him.
How could she?
Kalder closed his eyes and savored the way Cameron held him. The sensation of her running her hands over his back while he lost himself deep inside her. If only this moment could last.
You have to let her go.
But letting her go would be the hardest thing he’d ever done.
It’s for her own good.
Everything you love, you kill.He knew that. Without fail. The gods would never allow him to have something and keep it. They took too much pleasure in giving him pain.
I can’t watch her die, too.
Kalder kissed her lips as he thrust against her hips. He had no idea how long they’d have together, but fate and circumstance would separate them. One way or another. Of that he had no doubt.
Fight for her. You have to.
Did he dare?
Do you dare not?
He tried to imagine going back to his life without her. Tried to imagine making it through one day without her smile warming his heart.
He couldn’t.
The pain of the thought was too much.I have to find some way to keep her with me.No matter the consequences.
She was the only thing that was good in his life. The only thing that made him happy, and no one would take that away from him.
Not without a fight.
Cameron saw the determined set of Kalder’s jaw as he quickened his strokes.
“Are you all right?” she asked, wondering what caused the sudden change in him.
“Aye, love,” he said, punctuating his words with his thrusts. “When I’m with you, it’s the only time I’m right.”
She melted at that. Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, she held him close and reveled in his hot, naked skin sliding against hers. There was nothing more erotic than to hold him against her like this.
She teased his jaw with her lips and tongue and trailed her hands over the smooth plane of his back to his hips. She splayed her hands over his delectable rear and closed her eyes as she urged him on.
Her body quivered and tightened until she could stand no more.
Moaning deep, she let her orgasm take her and held him close until the last tremor had shuddered through her.
He cupped her face with his hand and kissed her deep.
Then she felt it. He growled into her mouth as his own release took him.
He buried himself deep and froze.
“Oh, me ladyphearse,” he breathed in her ear. “There is truly nothing better than the feel of you in me bed.”
