“Have you lain with anyone before?” he asked. So long as it wasn’t anyone he saw daily, he thought he could temper his jealousy.
“Yes, but it’s been a long while. And always with a human man.” Her hands smoothed over his chest and shoulders as a considering look stole across her face. “Have you?”
“Yes.”
“Always with human men for you, too?” she teased.
He snorted a laugh. “An orcess, I’m afraid.”
“Hmm.” That considering expression returned. “Quite a bit bigger than me, I suppose?”
“Yes.”
Lowering himself to her, Hakon couldn’t help a groan when her legs parted to cradle him between them. He fell into her body, their forms fitting together so perfectly he needed a moment to catch his breath. The soft give of her body nearly drove him mad, and his bollocks drew up tight in need.
Hakon rained kisses onto her face and neck before asking, “Tell me what pleases you,vinya.”
She made a considering noise, those wicked hands teasing up and down his flanks. “This rutting business sounds intriguing.”
He huffed a laugh into the crook of her neck. “Are you readyfor rutting?”
Hakon slipped a hand between them, fingers seeking the warm cunt hidden between her thighs. He felt her sharp inhale when he delved down, ignoring her clitoris to instead tease a fingertip against her opening. While she wept for him there, it wasn’t nearly enough.
“Not quite yet,” he told her, “I’ve more work to do.”
He silenced her protests with a kiss, taking her lips and tongue for his own. Fates, she tasted so good. Distracted by his teasing tongue, Aislinn consented to play his game, nipping his lower lip and tracing his tusks with her tongue in revenge.
One of her thumbs found and circled his nipple at the same moment her lips caught his tongue and sucked.
Hakon rocked forward, cock thrusting against her thigh.
“Fates,” he groaned.
He pushed himself back up onto his elbows, granting him a little distance from that wicked mouth of hers. His cock throbbed at her smug expression, and he wanted to see it again.
But first…
Hakon set himself the enviable task of making love to her, one kiss at a time. He started with her brow, following it down to the curve of her cheek and bridge of her nose. He tasted her lips but didn’t linger, no matter how she tempted him by curling her tongue around his, and followed the elegant line of her neck down to her throat.
He tasted the hollow there at the base, licking between her collarbones before pressing kisses into her shoulders and upper arms. No part of her was spared—he sat up to kiss her forearm, the inside of her elbow, her wrist, her palm. Every fingertip got a kiss, every knuckle. When one hand had been given its due, he placed it on his shoulder and went to the next, feeling almost drunk on how she watched him with heavy-lidded eyes.
Next, he kissed her sternum, where he could feel herheart beating beneath his lips. Each breast received thorough attention, kisses and nips to the underside and long laves with the flat of his tongue against her pert nipples.
Aislinn moaned and rolled her hips, trying to find a little relief, but he wouldn’t give it, not yet.
He could have spent all night there, teasing and playing with her breasts, but when she squirmed again, Hakon made himself move lower. He kissed each rib he could feel beneath her downy skin, then swirled his tongue in her belly button. She shuddered with a laugh, then moaned when he pressed a nipping kiss just above her mons.
Next was a growl of disapproval when he ignored her cunt and instead spoiled her hips and thighs with attention. His tongue teased the hollows of her hipbones and the caps of her knees. He kissed down the line of her shin as he held her small ankle so, so gently. The tops of her feet got a kiss, and so did every toe.
When all of her had been thoroughly kissed, Hakon sat back on his heels and smiled up at her. She returned it as he began to crawl over her, but it quickly disappeared with an outraged huff when he reached beneath her and flipped her by the hip onto her front.
Flicking her hair over her shoulder so she could scowl back at him, she said, “What happened to this going however I wanted?”
“I said nothing about how quickly,” he replied, kissing her bare shoulder. “Trust me,vinya. Can you be good and patient for me?”
Reaching around to hold her throat in his hand to support her head, he felt her half-hearted grumble. “I suppose I’ve waited this long. What’s a little longer?”
Hakon chuckled, but she received a gentle swat to her flank for that sass.
