“That’s because I cannot wait; my need for you is too great.”
“I feel the same,” she admitted, snuggling closer against him.
He ran his hand over her breast, teasing the nipple. “I can’t stop touching you. I can’t stop thinking about you. I can’t stop wanting you, and I will never stop loving you.”
Contentment filled Bliss like never before. She eased herself over him, covering his warm, damp body with her sleek, moist one and rested her head on his chest. His arms went around her, his hands stroking down her back and along her backside.
She sighed with pleasure, cherishing the intimate moment with him. “I knew I would find love, but never did I think it would be as strong as the love I have for you. There is, however, one thing that I don’t understand.”
“And I know exactly what it is.”
She raised her head, her eyes wide. “You do?”
He nodded. “You sensed it would be a while before we made love again and yet here we are and you wonder how you could have been wrong.”
She smiled. “You know me well.”
He laughed. “Every inch of you.”
“Then if you know me so well, you must know the answer.”
“I do,” he said proudly. “It is a simple one. Time is different for us. A full day is even too long for us to go without making love. The intimate act connects us in a way it does no other. It is as if making love nourishes us, gives us strength, and so we hunger for it like others hunger for food.”
“You know, I think you may be right,” she said with surprise. “There are times I feel empty, as if somehow I need filling, then you ... touch me. And I know it is you who will fill me to overflowing.”
He kissed her, lingering on her lips before slipping his tongue inside to tease, taunt, and tempt. He hadn’t expected to grow hard so soon after such a powerful climax, but to his surprise, he did. And the stronger the kiss grew, the harder he grew until...
He quickly rolled her on her back and slipped over her.
“I want to make love to you again,” he said, his hand cupping her breast and his tongue darting across her nipple until it turned hard. “Slow and easy this time.”
She smiled and reached down to stroke him. “And this time, I get to touch and taste as well.”
Much later, their bodies exhausted and sleep ready to claim them, Bliss realized that she had forgotten to tell him about the attack on the Picts. She thought to wait until morning since nothing could be done about it tonight, and they both needed sleep.
“Something troubles you?” Trey asked.
“We grow ever more attuned to each other.”
“And that troubles you?”
“No, not at all,” she assured him. “It pleases me. It’s just that I recalled something I meant to tell you and wondered if I should wait until morning, but it appears that, having sensed it, you should hear it now.”
“Tell me.”
“Roan and his group were attacked by the king’s soldiers.”
Trey tightened his arms around her.
“Now something troubles you,” she said, sensing his concern.
“Leora told us that she heard talk that the king was possibly going to attack the Picts.”
Bliss was silent for a moment. “That makes no sense. It would only cause us to side with you, and the king cannot be so foolish as to believe that with the Picts being neighbors of the MacAlpins these many years, the two would not have formed some mutual allegiance so that peace could prevail.”
“Bryce voiced similar concerns.”
She sat up shaking her head. “The king must have another reason for planning to attack the Picts, but what could it be? The attack would generate severe retaliation and guarantee the Picts’ joining forces with the MacAlpins.”
