NIKATHY
My energy was so depleted, and my muscles so weary, I was no longer sure which one of us was supporting the other. Fortunately, as soon as we reached the narrow bed, Rhiannon threw herself on it and then pulled her legs over to make room for me.
I hesitated, not sure if she really wanted me to stay, but a moment later, she reached for me, taking my hand in hers and tugging me toward her. I followed her lead, allowing myself to bump into the side of the bed and stand looking down at her. Now she was smiling up at me sweetly, making big doe eyes at me.
"Aren't you going to join me?" she asked with a playful lilt, patting the bed.
I looked her up and down doubtfully. The bed was too narrow. We were both too tired. I should have taken her all the way back to my room, back to the oversized bed and the thick doors with the big locks.
There was a look in her eyes that made my body react despite my exhaustion. It was something like a dare. She wanted me, and I could see it in the way her lips were pursed, just so.
I thought to turn away from her — we both needed our rest. There would be plenty of time for play, later. But somehow, I couldn't find the strength or the willpower to lecture her about what was best for us.
Her fingers reached out and ran up my arm, barely a tickle, before she withdrew her hand again, waiting patiently like a mouse about to lead a cat into a trap. Now it was my turn. I let my fingers walk up the leg of her pants, barely applying pressure as I moved from her knee up her thigh. As I stood over her, letting my hand roam naturally over the soft skin, I felt my vigor returning.
“What happened to your shirt?” I asked with a smirk.
“Had to use it to pack the cannon properly.”
The way she said it made it sound like a perfectly ordinary way of dealing a death blow to an enemy. I could only chuckle at her astonishing bravery.
The sweetness of the moment was beginning to sink in. We had won!
And the woman lying prone beneath my fingers had fought like hell to make it happen, too. She wasn't some delicate little flower waiting to be plucked. She was as fierce as any warrior I had ever known. Now I knew how Herod and Adreax had been seduced so easily. It was hard to resist a woman who was willing to fight tooth and nail for you.
I realized how very proud I was to have Rhiannon all to myself. She truly was mine.
Her hand went to my belt and she began loosening it, not waiting for me. All at once I felt her fingers wrapping around my shaft, tugging and squeezing, providing just the right amount of pressure to make me sigh and moan in turns. My knees, already shaking and weak, were threatening to give out if I didn't do something quickly, so I pulled her legs apart and climbed up on the bed between them.
She gave me a triumphant smirk, driving away all of my weariness and replacing it with adrenaline and desire.
I let myself fall forward, nuzzling into her neck and nipping at her pale skin. I wanted to leave my mark on her. I wanted everyone to see that she was mine. I also hoped her noises of pleasure would make the announcement for me.
I kissed and licked her all over, tasting the grit on her skin and savoring it. I felt her fingernails trace across the sac between my legs and I bit back a cry of surprise, forcing myself to relax as she toyed with me, driving me wild. I could feel my shaft hard between us, pressed between our bodies and begging for more.
I couldn't wait any longer.
Sitting back on my heels, I reached down and tugged her pants over her hips, leaving them tangled around her legs. I revealed only the sweetness of her cleft and the slight curve of her ass, lifted her legs up over my shoulder, and leaned in, pressing my cock into the moist spot where her legs met.
She bit her lip and let a tiny gasp slip out, but she kept her eyes steadily on mine, waiting, beckoning. I couldn't hold myself back any longer. I shifted my hips, feeling her part around me, and sinking myself into her. She moaned, her eyes fluttering softly as I pressed deeper and deeper, burying myself until I could go no further. Still, she stared up at me, and if I hadn't known any better, I'd say she looked innocent. But that look only served to drive me wild, reminding me how different we were, reminding me that I was a warrior and a rogue. She wanted me, and she wasn't intimidated by me.
I pulled myself back out in slow, fluid strokes, savoring the way her body clung to mine, and the way she whimpered and sighed just before I plunged back in. She left off stroking me, using her fingers to rub at the little nub between her legs, moving her hand in small circles in rhythm with my thrusts. Her other hand went up to her breasts, smiling softly as she plucked at her pink nipples. I got nearly as much pleasure from watching her play with herself as I did from having my cock inside her.
We moved together toward her climax. Her moans grew louder, but she kept her eyes on me, trapping me in the moment with her as she begged and begged for me to make her come. And then it was happening. Her voice rasped out of her throat in jagged bursts. She lifted her hips to meet me, over and over, returning my thrusts with vigor and clutching at the bed beneath her.
From where I sat between her legs, I had the perfect view of her whole body, wracked by the unconscious and uncontrollable shockwaves, and my lust for her was so great I couldn't hold myself together any longer. My cock pulsed, ready to erupt, and I planted my hands firmly at her waist, pulling her ass toward me and sinking back on my heels as her body convulsed and my cock filled her, leaving us both sweaty and sticky, and the perfume of our lovemaking filled the room.
I let my breath go on an unsteady exhale. I might collapse right there, now that the moment had passed. Already she lay back, her body relaxed on the pillows as she continued watching me. It was like she never wanted to take her eyes off me again.
"Come kiss me," she whispered, reaching down past her hip to take my hand in hers, and pulling me up alongside her, still half naked. She didn't seem to mind as my body pressed against hers and she pulled my arm around her, rolling onto her side so that she was nestled close. The bed wasn't so cramped after all.
When she was done adjusting herself, I did exactly as she said. I kissed her on the back of the neck, and I kissed her just behind the ear, carefully brushing the strands of hair away with my fingers. And I kept kissing her all over, covering every inch of her shoulder and neck with my lips, never wanting the heat between us to die down.
I kept kissing her, until she fell asleep in my arms, her breathing slowing until it was a soft and steady beat. She was mine, and I never wanted to leave her side, not even when she was fast asleep.
Soon, I found myself drifting off, too. I was so wrapped up in her that I didn't even struggle when sleep drew me down and made me nuzzle my face into her soft hair. This was the rest we both needed, and now we had both been taken by it.
