Page 11 of His Dark Delights
“I wanted to say that I am grateful for your help, Ren. But it would please me more if you continued healing,” I said, needing words to distract my mind and body from the imposing male flesh and scent intoxicating me.
“I would do more if you’d let me. No one has genuinely cared this much for my well-being in a long time.” His raised arm lowered to feather his fingers along my exposed neck. “And it would please me to let your hair down. May I?”
A shiver rolled through my spine. Without meeting his eye, choosing to focus on tying the fresh bandage into place, I nodded. His fingers tugged loose the bandana holding my hair up, and voluminous curls of copper-pink hair tumbled around my shoulders.
I finished tying the bandage, but my fingers lingered on his skin. He carefully brushed my hair behind my shoulder. My eyes drifted shut as he buried his face where my neck and shoulder met. A thin gasp leapt off my tongue when his lips pressed into the side of my throat, where my pulse raced.
Ren’s arm curled around my waist, and in one move he pulled me onto his lap. My breath caught in my lungs as he littered my neck with kisses, and each one ignited an unfamiliar heat in my belly until it produced an inferno. I’d never felt so internally warm before, nor so damp between my thighs.
Something hard throbbed against my bottom, and Ididn’t need experience to understand it. I’d read enough books to know of desire and love. And I’d grown up believing you couldn’t have one without the other, yet there I was.
His hands caressed up my sides, slowly exploring me. They paused when he reached my chest, and he cupped my breasts in his massive palms. I didn’t think to stop him or complain when my only thought was that his hands were so large and powerful. His massaging fingers awakened a pulsing somewhere low between my hips.
Before I knew it, Ren untied the laces of my dress and peeled the blue fabric down my chest. I gasped at the cool air breezing over my skin, and my nipples tightened under his explorative touch. Part of me thought I should feel embarrassed at being so exposed to a man I hardly knew, but the attention of his warm palms on my heated flesh felt blinding, dizzying, and undeniably stimulating.
He continued kissing the side of my neck until a desperate groan grated through his chest. “I’ve thought about you and nothing else since I first saw you. I’m going mad for you, Lilly.”
My head arched back into his shoulder, giving him a better view of my full, heavy breasts cupped in his palms and my sensitized nipples rolling between his teasing fingers. The hardness under my bottom twitched, growing impossibly larger.
“Shouldn’t you be thinking about fighting and battles to be won?” I asked, struggling for breath. A knight should have his mind on the kingdom and the people he swore to protect. Not a farm girl with nothing to offer.
Ren’s hand returned to my neck, sliding over my tight skin into my hair. He knotted red curls in his fist and used his grip to angle my face to his. My eyes flared open from the exciting tension in my scalp and the whisper of his breath on my lips as he said, “The only battle I desire to win is the one for you.”
He dipped his head and crashed his lips into mine. I’d never kissed a man before, yet my body followed a carnal instinct. My mouth melded to his and our lips locked together when he deepened the kiss, stealing the breath from me.
His tongue slipped through my lips and the wet glide of our tongues wrestling made my stomach clench with an insensible need. The frenzy of his kiss and his fist in my hair distracted me from the other hand bunching up my dress, exposing my legs. I only noticed when he circled the pad of his thumb on the sensitive inner skin of my thigh and every muscle in my body went taut.
“Has anyone ever touched you here before?” Ren asked against my lips as he traced a knuckle over the damp fabric of my underwear. Flares of pleasure shuddered through me, and I squirmed in his lap. A pleased sound vibrated through his chest as he felt the evidence of my arousal.
“Never,” I answered, tipping forward and seeking the mind-numbing taste of his lips once more.
“Good.” Ren slammed his mouth into mine, as if seeking to devour me. Then he hooked a finger in my underwear, peeling it from my dripping sex. He swiped a finger through my slick folds and found a buzzing, swollen bud at the top.
“So soft and wet between those pretty thighs, Lilly.”He soaked his digit in my juices, then used it to swirl his central finger over my clit. Bursts of delight rocked through my sex and surged into my belly with each skilled pass over the sensitized bud.
Half turned in his lap, I curled my arms over his shoulders and locked them behind his neck. My bare breasts pressed into his chest, both hugging him tight and using him for support. As tremors of bliss coursed through my body, his fist in my hair tightened and his lips became increasingly demanding. Then he probed a finger at my entrance and bit my bottom lip between his teeth.
A startled mewl escaped me as Ren slid his finger inside of me. I wanted to throw my head back, but his teeth on my lip and his hand in my hair kept me in place and utterly at his mercy. The sensation of being stretched and filled made me lose control of my breathing and volume. Shrill, broken gasps vented from my lips between near-painful, greedy kisses.
His finger curled inside me at the same time as his palm massaged my clit. My core went taut, vibrating with building, charged energy. My pitiful noises grew louder as those feelings grew.
“Is it too much, Lilly?” Ren asked.
My arms tightened around his neck, and my hips rocked forward to meet his hand. “No… No. Something is happening… It’s good.So good.”
Tears pricked the corners of my eyes because of just how good it felt. I’d never experienced such pleasure before and all I could do was wriggle and pant in his lap and he finger-fucked me. His tongue tentatively probed for entrance into my mouth, and I allowed him in where he swept his tongue against my teeth.
The heat at the apex of my thighs, in the deepest soaked center of my body, blazed hotter and brighter than the sun. Ecstasy crested within my core like the first warm sunrise at the end of a long winter, and maybe that’s what I needed—and that’s what Ren could give me. That heat blazed through me at its highest peak, causing everything within me to shatter into a million pieces.
I was a whimpering, quivering mess in Ren’s lap, but he only groaned with male satisfaction as my inner walls clenched his finger. My muscles and bones melted from the effort and strain of my first overwhelming climax, and the knight continued lazily fingering me through the last tremulous waves of my orgasm.
When my shaking subsided, Ren withdrew his fingers from between my thighs and lifted his hand to his mouth. He sucked his slick, coated middle finger between his lips and sucked the digit clean of my arousal. His next words made my heart reactivate. “You taste so good for me, Lilly. I can’t wait to taste you again.”
Chapter Five
Lilly
Ren laid me back onto the bed, and I was too physically drained to oppose. With my head on the pillow and the mattress dipping under my weight, I noted how bodily satisfied I felt. My muscles were soft, yielding earth and my bones were flowing water while a glowing sun simmered in my belly.
