He kisses me again, another rough claiming of me, one I relish. I kiss him back, clinging to him as my orgasm finally rolls into echoes of pleasure, everything inside me languid and soft. He bites my bottom lip, then rests his head in the crook of my neck.
I run my fingers through his hair and kiss his ear, his jaw, his throat.
He wraps his arm around my waist and rolls over, pulling me on top of him, his cock still inside me. My wings flutter behind me, as if happy to be free.
I press my cheek to his chest, his heart thumping fast and strong.
“That was just the opener, lass.” He pulses his hips upwards, his cock still half hard.
“You’re joking.”
“I don’t joke about fucking you, Moira. I thought you’d know that by now.” He runs his hands along my wings, sending pleasant tickles down my spine.
“We still have a lot to talk about.”
“Aye.” He slides his hand down to my ass and squeezes. “We’ll do the talking after the fucking. I’m pretty sure we already agreed on that. Going off how hot and wet you are, I’d say your cunt is in agreement.”
I laugh. I can’t help it. “Ridiculous filthy pirate.” I turn my face up to his, and he kisses me. Sweetly this time.
He grabs my waist and scoots up on the bed until his back is against the wall and I’m straddling him. “Time’s a wasting, lass. I want you good and worn out before we hit the Neverstorm. Isaid there’d be nothing left of you, and I meant it.” He thrusts up, hitting all my tender places.
I shudder, my body going hot again as I move on top of him. His cock hardens, and I grind slowly as he cups my breasts and licks my nipples. It’s a slow, sensual dance, one that stokes the fire low in my belly.
My hips speed up, and I take his mouth in a kiss, our tongues caressing each other as I find the perfect movement to hit my clit again and again.
He runs his hands all over me, feeling my body move and returning to my breasts. When he pinches my nipples hard, I arch.
“That’s it, lass. Take your pleasure.” He runs his teeth along my throat, then bites down on my shoulder before returning to my breasts.
My breath catches, my hips locking up, and then I’m coming again. He reaches down and moves me up and down his shaft, stroking my orgasm out of me as he releases inside me, his come warm as it fills me and slides down his cock. I keep going, getting every last bit of pleasure until I’m spent. He cups my breasts and kisses each one before lifting me off him.
He groans when his cock slides out, then he stands and grabs some washcloths from one of his compartments, wets one and rubs it along my sensitive parts.
“Is this a whore’s bath?” I don’t even know what I’m saying. My mind is adrift, my body turned into a liquid.
“Only if you’re a whore, lass. Which you aren’t.” He kisses my mound, then stands and wipes himself off before climbing intobed with me. He tosses the blanket over us and pulls me to his chest, right to his beating heart again.
I love listening to it, I’ve discovered. My eyes close. I let out a long breath as he massages my ass with one hand.
He kisses my crown a few times. “Sleep now. You’ve earned it.”
I snort. “I suppose this means I’m a valuable crew member?”
He laughs, the sound rumbling through him. “Aye. I already told you that you’d make an excellent pirate.” He slaps my ass lightly. “And here you are proving yourself. Stealing my heart like it’s your profession.”
That knocks away a bit of the afterglow. The realization that I have to tell him the truth lands heavy on my heart. I don’t want to. I want him to believe I’m his true love. Because I’ve already fallen for him, fallen so far that he’s become the air I breathe.
But that’s precisely the reason I have to tell him the truth.
I love him too much to lie.
“The machinery is cranking again.” He sighs. “I can hear the gears whining and the bilge pump trying to kick to life.” He squeezes my ass. “Let it go, lass. For tonight. We’ll talk tomorrow. Then you can tell me all the reasons why you should go back to the mainland, and I’ll continue with my plan to chain you to the bed and show you even more reasons why you should never leave me.”
How does he make me smile so easily? “You wouldn’t dare.”
“I’d dare quite a lot when it comes to you.” His hand dips lower, his fingers sliding between my cheeks. “And I’m going to have you in every way.”
“Excuse me!” I twist my hips. “That is a forbidden zone.”
