She truly does desire me.
The wetness soaking through my trousers is evidence of it. This beautiful, brave woman wants me. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure she never regrets giving me this chance.
If tonight is all I get, I will die a happy male.
“I want to kiss more than your mouth, Bloom.”
My confession is growled against her lips.
Bloom whimpers as she nods jerkily. Her soft lips are swollen from my kisses. My hands fall towards her waist and whip her faster against my hard thigh. Each high-pitched mewl makes potent desire burn in my veins.
Lifting trembling hands, Bloom tugs down the short sleeves of her shift. The top of the garment pools around her waist as her breasts are exposed in pale moonlight.
My mouth goes dry at the sight of them. Full and round—tipped with pink nipples. My cock hardens painfully beneath her. The stirring I’ve felt in her presence since the moment she arrived is impossible to ignore.
Release threatens at the mere sight of her.
“Kiss me wherever you want, Rhy. You’re the only one who’s ever seen me like this.”
Lifting my hand, she places it on her breast.
It fills my palm perfectly. I squeeze gently, delighting in her soft whimper. My other hand cups her other breast as I workthem in tandem. Bloom's head falls back, her swath of dark hair tickling my knees.
“You’re the only one I ever want to see me,” she confesses. “I wouldn’t ask you to join me in Dew Hollow if I had the intention of taking another for my husband.”
My head snaps up. The room tilts. Potent longing slices through my stomach.
“Are you saying?—”
“I’m saying,” she says, leaning forward, “that for tonight, let us just be two beings. Coming together to share kisses and touches and whatever other pleasures feel right.”
Who am I to deny such a sweet offer? I snarl my agreement as my hands renew their efforts to her breasts.
I nip at her jaw as my lips taste down her throat. Bloom is soft everywhere. Her flesh feels like hot silk and tastes like sugar. I lick and suck every inch of it before my lips replace my hand at one of her breasts.
Tasting the fleshy swell of her breast, my mouth descends lower before latching onto a nipple.
I run my tongue along the taut peak as Bloom’s hands spear into my hair. Her moans echo around us as she writhes on my lap. My cock presses against the curve of her ass, desperate for a release I’ve never experienced.
My mouth switches to her other breast before rolling her onto the bed.
Pink decorates her chest and cheeks as I loom over her. Hazel eyes stare trustingly up at me. Her eyelids are heavy with desire.
I swallow thickly as I reach for the fabric covering her lower half. I need her naked, but only if she will allow me such pleasure.
Nodding, Bloom lifts her hips and helps me remove her shift.
My blood freezes at her naked form. Pale gold skin glitters against my sheets. The soft slope of her stomach gives way tothe decadent flare of her hips. Every mouth-watering inch is on display, including the slick flesh hidden beneath a small patch of dark hair.
Her thighs press together, but part after gentle encouragement from my hands.
I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve never seen a naked woman before. Of course, I’m aware of the rudimentary basics of how matings work. I have no idea how to make it pleasurable. Instinct alone moves me. I’ll listen for what makes Bloom moan the most and do that until she finds her peak.
My father had told me when I was young the importance of being gentle for a male of our size. If I was ever to find a mate, I would need to take care with her. The thought of doing Bloom harm makes my stomach turn. I will ensure her pleasure always comes before mine, and it will be my life’s mission to figure out how to achieve it.
Once her thighs fall open, my entire world shifts.
I stare down at pure perfection. Slick pink flesh glistens with her arousal. The heady scent of her need invades my nostrils and settles in my lungs. Wanton desire tickles the base of my spine as my hips tip forward. Euphoria explodes in my veins.
