His slips two fingers through my folds. “So wet and beautiful, Beth.”
I want to hear him say my name every day for all my lives. Its prayerlike quality folds around me, luring me in for more of him. My hair falls from the braided bun and unwinds with his gentle magic. “Your magic is lovely.” The words barely get out of my mouth as a soft cry of pleasure accompanies them.
His fingers press inside me while teasing my sensitive pearl, bringing me closer to my release.
Relentless, he tortures me with pleasure. Cupping the back of my head with his other hand, he turns my head, covers my open mouth with his, and thrusts his tongue inside. Our tongues slip together. His fingers press harder and faster.
I scream into his mouth as my orgasm crashes down around me.
His fingers still, and I grind against his hand while my body shakes with rapture. Kissing me softer and more thoroughly, he sighs. “You are spectacular.”
“Have you bespelled me, Adam?” I’m half serious.
He stills. “No more than you have me, Beth. Believe me, I have never longed for anyone as I do for you. When you say my name, I’m lost in a lifetime of possibilities. Even though I know it’s not likely I’ll be able to stay with you. Even though I’m certain I should leave and pray my brother follows me away from here. I can’t leave while you don’t demand it. Tell me to go. Command me to get out of your bed, your house, and this town. Make me do the right thing, my dear one.”
I turn, forcing him to his back.
Thick and long, his shaft stands at attention. I lick the very tip, and I let my body skim over his until we’re face to face. “Tell me you’ll stand and fight whatever evil threatens the king or this house.”
“I will never let harm come to you or those you protect.” His eyes are wide, as if his answer surprises him.
Chapter
Ten
ADAM
I would die for her. Have I ever thought that with regard to anyone else? I would die for this woman and the things that are important to her. Lifting my head, I kiss her full mouth and suck her tongue before giving her mine to do the same.
She groans and bends her knees to straddle me.
There are so many things I want to tell her, so much I long to promise, but as she lowers her body onto my cock, I can focus on nothing but pleasure. “Beth.”
Gripping her breasts, she presses her knees to the mattress and rides me like a goddess off to battle. She rises and falls, pulling me deep within her perfect body. When she falters, I grip her waist and set a steady pace.
My body thrills with the coming little death. My legs tingle.
She quickens her pace, and I press my thumb to her bud, bringing her over the edge. Inside, her muscles pulse, drawing my orgasm hard and fast.
Thrusting up, I hold her hips, ready to pull her away the moment before I spill my seed.
“No,” she commands and presses her hips down to keep me within her. Hard and fast, her pleasure stretches beyond mine. I pull her chest over mine and muffle her cries with kisses.
Her hair spreads over my chest like black flames. Her back rises and falls with each heaving breath.
Clutching her to me, I want to stay connected for as long as Goddess will allow. I love being inside this woman. I love the niggling of her mind so close to mine. As she suggested, one day, I pray we shall have the kind of trust needed to open ourselves completely.
She presses her palms to my chest, and still intimately connected, looks into my eyes. “I needed to feel all of you.”
“It was wonderful.” My cock jerks to life despite being spent a moment earlier.
She shifts to deepen our connection. “Should we talk of important things or leave those things for the morning?”
Gripping her tight, I roll her to her back.
She wraps her legs around my thighs. “I’m guessing you’re in no hurry for a long talk.”
“Nothing would please me more than talking, but you seemed determined for pleasure first. I can deny you nothing.” Though I said it to be light, I immediately realize I mean every word. I would give her anything she asked for, so why not the entire truth?
