He dropped her thighs and used one hand to unbuckle his heavy belt, unlace his ties, and release his pulsing member.His other hand reached for her breasts, tugging at her neckline, but she grabbed his hand and slid it upward to her neck, as if to choke her.
Her steady gaze never left his as she curled her hand around his fingers so they lightly gripped her neck.
His chest heaved as she moved his hand and then lifted her chin to give him full access.Her full breasts lifted under his arm, pressing against him.At her urging and his own forceful need, he curled his fingers around her neck.
If this was another dangerous game she was playing, then by God, at least she was playing it with him.The tip of his cock glistened with his own readiness for her.
With a heady groan and his lips in a grimace, William thrust forward, driving his pulsing cock inside her.Ailith threw her head back, breaking their gaze, and gasped at the fullness, at the sensation of stretching and entry, and at being one with him.
“Look at me,” he rasped as he drew out and thrust in again.“Look at me when I take ye.”
His voice was more of a growl, and she tilted her head and opened her eyes to mere slits.His blond hair fell over his forehead as he held her hip with his other hand.His fingertips dug into her flesh as he slid out and slammed back inside her wet sheath.
His breathing intensified, panting and grunting.With every hard thrust in and slide back out, her tender skin quivered, wanting more of his cock, driving her to her moment.The suggestion of danger between them drove her quickly, making every move more carnal as he rode her.
He moved his hand to grip her chin at her neck, forcing her to keep her face to his.The hard lines of his jaw shifted as he drove himself with his desperate need to orgasm.
“Look at me.Is this what ye want?”He slammed in forcefully again, and she moaned at the sliding motion of his cock.“Is this what ye want, Ailith?”
Her lips parted, pulling into more of a sly grin as she felt her orgasm building, tingling from her thighs outward.“More, William.I want more.”
His gaze bore into her as his entire body tensed, and he leaned over her, thrusting wildly.Their joining was just as furious, just as violent as her battle this afternoon, as their argument after, and he pumped even harder into her wet, welcome opening.His stiff, rigid member hitting inside her and sliding over her clit and her insides made her explode, pure ecstasy cascading through her body as she screamed out his name, and her senses fled.
William didn’t care who might hear them.Let them hear this battleground that was their bed.He lived for the sound of his name on her lips.
And when she cried out his name, it was too much for him and pushed him over the edge.He leaned in, thrusting hard and wild, groaning as he built higher, then clenched as he came in a frenzy and poured himself inside her.Once he was empty, he sagged, his head bowed near her breasts.His fierce grip fell from her neck and hips as he panted out his exertion.
Had he ever ridden her this hard?This furiously?Had any joining with her been one of pure trust on the edge of violence?
Nay.
And he was spent far more than he had ever been for that dance of violent ecstasy.Almost like his world shifted under his feet and would never be the same.
A light film of sweat covered Ailith.She wiped her forehead on her sleeve, then dropped her hand to cup William’s damp head.He took a moment to gather his lost mind, then propped up on his elbows to look at her.
“I’m still angry, only no’ so vehemently.”His eyes roved over her face, down to her plump breasts, and back up to her face.His own face was tender, no longer tight or clenched.The worry for her was still there, but not the anger.That had dissipated when he poured his seed into her body.
“What am I going to do with ye,mo ruaidh?”
Ailith’s head fell back onto the bed as she giggled.“Love me.Keep me safe when ye can, and teach me to protect myself when ye can no’.”
With a deep breath, William pushed himself up so his head was right above hers.His lips thinned slightly before softening.
“Aye.I can do all that.”
Then he kissed her.
Chapter Ten
Forthefirsttimein days, nearly weeks, Ailith slept hard enough to have another dream.
Was it a result of satisfied relaxation, the fatigue of the fight, or the weary realization of the danger she had put herself in?Or all three?
This time, there was no night sky, no swirling stars.Rather, the colors alighted in swathes of orange in a fiery sunset, waving like a flag in the air.
A silhouette walked against the orange.Dream-Eladon?Or someone else?Nay, it had to be her Dream-Eladon.Closer this time.
Yet, why was she dreaming of her?Ailith had found the mushrooms, saved the ones by Dunnottar, and was replanting others.Andshe had married William, as her grandmother was supposed to.Children (yikes!Children!)would certainly come next.Not yet, as Ailith had recently and thankfully learned since her biological courses had just finished, but eventually.
