“There is nowhere else I’d rather be stuck,” I murmured, voice still shaky.
He chuckled darkly. “Well, that is probably good, because I have no intention of letting you out of my bed anytime soon.”
He eased himself inside me in one long thrust and I moaned at the stretch, at the way he filled me completely. “I love you,” I said again as he buried his face against my neck.
“Again.”
“I love you, my king.”
“Fuck.” He moaned into my mouth, his thrusts becoming more urgent. “I love you too, Asha Bear.”
The sounds of skin slapping skin began to fill the room.
“What else?” he growled in my ear.
“You are my everything.”
“For how long?”
“Forever.”
“Again.”
“Forever.”
His voice lowered to a deep, animalistic growl. “Again.”
He drove deeper, harder. Heat spilled between us as we came at the same time, my body pulsing around him while he groaned into my mouth, hips jerking with every movement.
When the last tremors faded, he pressed his forehead to mine, breathing ragged.
“I am glad that we don’t get married every day,” he murmured in my ear. “Because I just lasted all of three minutes.”
I let out a laugh. “It was longer than that, for certain.”
I paused, smiling against his mouth. “Maybe.”
I felt him harden inside me again, his length twitching with fresh interest.
“One word, Colsar?”
“The way you said maybe… it did something to me.”
I laughed out loud, kissing him until the laughter dissolved into new, softer moans.
Afterward we lay in the quiet. His hand was flat on my stomach. My head was against his chest.
He leaned over and kissed down my stomach. Then lower. His mouth trailed down my hip and along my thigh and then stopped at my ankle. He pressed his lips to the mark there the way you pressed your lips to something familiar, then looked up at me.
"Tell me about this."
I looked down at him. "Since I was a child. There was a gathering on a mountain. I do not remember much of it. Only that there was a boy." I paused. "We made promises to each other. I did not think anyone had ever meant a promise before that."
He kissed it again. Then began kissing back up my leg.
"Did he keep it?"
I laughed quietly. "I do not know. I never saw him again." My breath caught as his mouth moved higher. "I am not sure I kept mine either."
