She frowns at him briefly; then realizes he doesn’t want her to see his scarred body. “It’s OK, Ryland,” she says in what she hopes is a reassuring tone.
“Maybe...maybe next time, Nori.” He lowers his pants barely below his ass, keeping most of his body covered. Nori’s eyes just about pop out of her head as she gets her first look at his enormous cock.
In one fluid move, he sits on the bed and has her straddling him again. He looks up at her with so much vulnerability that it practically brings tears to her eyes. As he lifts her hips to rest her entrance on the tip of his cock, he says, “I have waited my whole life for you, Nori.”
She leans down, placing her lips on his, forcing her tongue into his mouth. Ryland inhales sharply, pulse racing, as he slowly slides her onto the top of his shaft. He raises her up and slides her down again, farther this time. He repeats the action again, giving her time to adjust to his size.
When she arches her back and moans again, he thrusts his hips up and pulls her all the way down, fully engulfing his cock. He almost comes at that moment, but his need for her to climax again stops him.
He pulls her knees in closer to his hips, so she has better balance. Ryland grips her hips tightly, showing her how to glide up and down along his cock.
He throws his head back and groans loudly when shetakes over the movement, pressing her hands on top of his shoulders for leverage.
Ryland thrusts his hips up and leans back on one hand, getting a better angle, while his other hand grips her hip. Nori increases the pace and slams down on him hard, again and again. Ryland’s control is slipping as he yells, “Fuck, Nori! YES!”
Their combined desire saturates the room in a cocoon of lust. His free hand roams from her hip to her ass to the back of her thigh, trying to touch all of her at once. “I will never get enough of this, Nori.”
Nori, breathing erratically, feels the increasing tension in her core and cries out his name again. She’s practically begging him now.
When he feels her tightening around his cock, he quickly slides his thumb along her clit, stroking her as she rides him. Applying precisely the right amount of pressure, he circles her once, then twice. That’s all it takes.
Her back arches and she throws her head back, screaming, “YES, RYLAND, YES!” as her orgasm crashes through her.
Losing all control, Ryland sits up, watching her face as she falls apart. He grabs both of her hips for two more hard thrusts. He shouts as his own orgasm rips through his body.
Every cell in his body sizzles with the explosion of pleasure as he continues rocking his hips into her, riding out the lastshudders of their orgasms, completely lost to the exquisite feeling of being inside her.
Chests heaving, wrapped in each other’s arms, Ryland falls back on the bed, bringing Nori with him. As they catch their breaths, Ryland’s fingers gently glide over her shoulder and arm. He intends to touch every part of her body until the moment she rejects the Bond.
chapter twenty-seven
Thoroughly relaxed, with all her weight on top of Ryland, Nori listens to the rhythm of his heartbeat slow down. In a blissful haze, she lets out a breathy laugh. “Is this what sex is always like? Because...wow!”
Running his fingers through her hair and lazily up and down her arm, a low laugh rumbles from his chest at her question. “Definitely not, Nori. That was absolutely the best I have ever had. You are fucking beautiful when you come!”
Nori blushes at his direct statement, but can't stop the smile tugging at her lips from hearing him call her beautiful.
Ryland is enjoying the afterglow of their lovemakingwhen he flinches from unexpectedly hearing Zayne’s voice in his head. “The men are almost ready, Ryland. Move your ass.”
He frowns and replies, “Fuck off! I’ll be there when I get there.”
He reaches down and squeezes Nori’s ass cheek, making her squeak. Smiling, he says, “Zayne says everyone’s ready to go. Why don’t you get cleaned up and dressed while I get ready? I want you to walk out with me.”
She looks up and kisses him under his chin. “OK, I’ll only be a minute.”
Ryland reaches for a towel from the drawer of his bedside table, normally reserved for jerking off. He shakes his head, bewildered by the way Nori casually kissed him just now. It’s almost like she doesn’t notice the horrible crater in his face.
He’s mildly concerned about what will happen the next time when she wants him to undress. Because that is not going to happen. Just because she can handle his face doesn’t mean the rest of his body won’t repulse her. Deciding now is not the time to dwell on it, he moves into his closet to change into his battle leathers and decide which weapons he’ll need.
In the bathroom, after cleaning up, Nori checks herself in the mirror for any traces of blood and quickly rinses them away, knowing it bothers Ryland so much.
She smiles, finger-brushing her hair, and says to Aylin, “That was extraordinary. I don’t even have the words.”
“I think you should have skipped all the talking and gone straight to the sex! Could’ve avoided the whole almost dying thing.” Aylin replies, chuckling.
Nori laughs, “Agreed!”
Stepping out of the bathroom to get dressed, Nori looks up to see Ryland in his full battle gear. Her heart skips a beat, and she falls back against the door frame, instantly consumed with lust.
