Page 58 of A War of Three Kings

“I want more of you, Aldrin,” I pant back.

He stops moving, and for a moment I want to scream at him, but he slips a hand beneath the beltline of my pants. Those thick fingers slip over my swollen clit, down the slick center of me and deep inside. Pleasure explodes within me with as they curl against my inner walls.

I come alive for him, writhing and pushing back against him, and still, I want more. His thumb draws lazy circles over my clitoris, bringing me higher with each rotation.

“You are so wet for me,” he rumbles in my ear.

He withdraws his fingers, then swings me away from the door and onto my back on the sturdy table in the center of the room. My heart might explode as he stands before me, unlacing his britches. He leans over me, his arms on either side of my shoulders as he stares down into my face, but he has stopped undressing.

I writhe beneath him, my nipples rubbing against the hard planes of his chest, the tantalizing sensation setting me afire, but he doesn’t move. I try to pull him free of his pants, but he takes each of my wrists and pins them on the table over my head.

“Aldrin,” I beg.

A deep sadness fills his eyes as they gaze down at me, spread out before him and ready to enjoy.

“We need to stop, Keira.” His lips curl downward. “I can’t do this.”

I freeze. It’s like a bucket of icy water has been dumped on my head. “What do you mean?”

He is so close I can feel his warm breath on my face. Our bodies are still tangled together as he holds me down.

“I don’t want a single night of passion. Not because you are full of adrenaline from the fear and thrill of battle. If we do thistonight, and then go back to the way things have been, it will destroy me.” He pulls away, releasing my arms. “I want all of you. Your heart. Your future. Your trust. I can’t give myself to you without those things.”

I sit up, gripping him so he can’t leave. My heart does somersaults at the vulnerability on his face. “I brought you here because I forgive you, Aldrin. I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

His eyebrows raise and his lips part in shock.

“You deserve my trust, and I want to fix all the things that were broken between us. I will give everything to you. My heart, my future and my trust.” I lean forward and brush a soft kiss against his lips. “Because I am desperately in love with you.”

Aldrin presses his body into mine and kisses me hard, bruising my lips and scratching my skin with his stubble. I wrap my arms around his neck and hold him tight to me.

When he pulls a few inches away, his amber eyes glow. “You love me, do you? I guess you’re not half bad yourself.” A cocky grin fills his face, and I slap a hand on his chest. He leans forward and whispers in my ear, “You already know I am so in love with you, I would cross realms and fight wars for you.”

A thrill ripples through me, making my stomach dip and heart flutter. My fingers dig into his shoulders. “Show me how much you love me.”

He puts his hand on my chest and firmly pushes me back onto the table, pinning my shoulders to its surface. His heated gaze roams down the naked curves of my body, his fingers following it until they meet the belt of my riding pants. He drags my hips to the table’s edge and undresses me completely in a swift motion.

Aldrin admires the sight of me as he drags his pants down his hips and his erect cock springs out. I lick my lips, desperate to taste it, to feel the length of it in my mouth, and for it to be buried within me.

I can’t seem to catch my breath as he adjusts my legs on either side of his hips. He uses two fingers to spread my entrance wide and grips his cock to line it up with me.

Fire jolts through my entire body at those simple touches. At the anticipation of him finally entering me and filling me up. There is a smirk on his face as he pumps his hips slightly to rub the head of his cock up and down my slit, awakening my every nerve. I move my hips to capture it within me, but he holds me down with a hand on my hips.

“Beg for it,” Aldrin commands, rubbing it up to my clitoris again, then back down to my entrance.

“Please, Aldrin.” My voice is guttural. “I want you in me. I want it so hard I’ll see stars.”

He lines himself up with my core, thrusting just the head inside me, and I let out a strangled moan as sensation burns through me. I try to push against him, to drive it home, but Aldrin raises an eyebrow. The bastard is going to make me work for it.

“Please. Give me more.”

He drives another inch in?—

And we both freeze as shouts reach us from across a great distance.

“Keira! Keira!” My father’s voice echoes through the cottage. He hasn’t found us, but he is looking. “Set up a search party immediately!” he barks. “I want them both found.”

I turn pleading eyes up to Aldrin. “How fast can you be?”
