Page 64 of Fighting for Her Heart
My heart nearly explodes with happiness because I can tell what he meant, even if he can’t fully recognize it or say it. I want to encourage him to verbalize his feelings, to admit that he loves me, but his hips start pumping rapidly again, thrusting into me fast and hard and deep, over and over.
My mouth stays open, but I couldn’t possibly speak if I tried. His cock is now slamming into me in the way I’ve been craving, nailing me into the mattress over and over and over. And I realize my legs are hooked around him, helping to pull him in harder and deeper.
And then, just when I don’t think it could possibly get any better, we both come at the same time. I explode and contract around him as his hot fluid shoots inside me. We gaze into each other’s eyes as my orgasm milks every last drop of his seed, drawing it into my womb and raising my pleasure to astounding heights.
Chapter Nineteen
Zuben
Ember is always beautiful,but like this, in her sleep, I have never seen anything that begins to compare to her immeasurable pulchritude. Even in darkness with her posture and expression so peaceful, her skin glows as if lit from within, and her eyelashes softly lick the skin below her closed eyes as if they too cannot resist caressing her beauty.
Thirty-seven hours have passed since the others left. We spent half of last night and nearly the entire day making love, but now I must leave this bed to test the sunlight before it goes down. My chest aches at the idea, as if she has cast some kind of a spell to trap my heart.
Never have I evenimaginedthat I could one day have such strongly affectionate feelings for another person—and certainly did not imagine that I deserved to have such emotions for someone as amazing as Ember. Or to have them returned in any fraction of the intensity I feel.
Her eyelids flutter open, and she smiles.
“What time is it?” She stretches beside me, and my hand slides over her velvet skin as I fall even deeper into her violet eyes.
“I didn’t think it was possible,” I say softly. The time of day is not relevant.
“What isn’t possible?” She props herself up on her elbows.
“That you could become even more beautiful.”
She blushes and grins. “Who thoughtyou’dbecome a flatterer?”
“What I said was not flattery.” My fingers slide over her cheek, and her body reacts as the backs of them graze over her throat and then down to her collarbone. My gaze follows my fingers to her breasts, but then leaving my fingers there to fondle and tease, I lift my gaze again to look into her eyes. “I found you very fetching from the first moment I saw you.”
“Fetching?” Her voice carries a humorous tone. She’s making fun of my manner of speaking which I long ago stopped trying to alter with the times.
“May I complete my thought, please?” I grin to show her I am not angry, as my words may have implied.
She giggles. “Of course.” Then she gasps, as my thumb brushes over her now hard nipple, and the scent of her renewed arousal carries through the air.
“You have always been beautiful to me,” I tell her, “and you grew even more so after your transition, your natural beauty enhanced by your vampiric powers.”
“Thank you.” She shifts up to kiss me.
But she does not comprehend my meaning. Refusing to become distracted, I break our kiss, still cupping her head to support her half reclined position and fondling her nipple with my other hand.
“But today, after our love making, after what you…what you did for me.” My mouth goes dry and I shake my head. “I am having difficulties expressing myself.”
She smiles encouragement. “That’s okay.”
“It is not okay. This is important.” I draw a long breath, searching for words. “After what we shared together, your beauty has expanded in my eyes, exponentially.” I shake my head, trying to bring my emotions into focus. Because none of this is about her beauty.
“I have always found your character, yoursoulto be as beautiful as your physical presence, but something has happened which has altered my perceptions of you.”
Her expression turns confused or worried. Maybe both.
“All of these changes are for the better.” I clear my throat. “I am seeing you with new eyes today, with a new understanding, and I could not have ever imagined anyone existing on this planet who is so beautiful as you are to me at this moment.”
Her chest expands on a ragged inhale that paints a soft smile on her lips and shoots sparks of affection and light into her eyes. I tighten my finger and thumb over her taut nipple and watch the reaction spread through her body, as her lips part and her eyes cloud with pleasure.
“Ember, I did not imagine that such a thing could be possible.” I stop to wet my dry mouth. “I do not even understand what steps I have taken to reach my conclusion, but I have no doubts, absolutely none.”
“Doubts about what?” she asks, breathlessly.
