This was a one-time thing. I would give her the time of her life and then this could never happen again. I would tell myself this a thousand times if I needed to. She was worth the world, and I wouldn’t be the one that ended it for her.
I couldn’t live with myself if I did.
I pressed my mouth back to her clit and I made her come again.
And again.
And again.
I made her come so many times that she nearly passed out. She screamed as tears poured down her cheeks, every muscle quivering with overwhelming sensation. When I finally had my fill of her, I pulled away and her body kept shaking with one aftershock after the next.
I gazed down at her, enjoying the subtle signs of her pleasure from the twisting of her mouth to the sweat beading along her brow, to the quivering panting breaths she pulled in as she tried to pull herself together.
She didn’t have to worry about that. I was here for her now.
I gathered her in my arms and pulled her into my lap, holding her as she cried against my chest. Her arms wrapped around my neck as she pulled in closer to me.
There was no reluctance now, only the sweetest surrender.
For a while, I just kept her close. Gradually, her uneven breathing started to level out and her tears dried. Her hold on me never wavered, and as much as I tried to stop it, I could feel my guarded heart softening with this little slip of a woman.
When I was certain she’d fallen asleep, I stood up and situated her on one hip. I gathered her things with my other arm and carried her back to the village, using my magic to create a lift for us up to the treetops.
I placed her down in her bed and tucked the covers in around her before I took a step back. For whatever reason, I couldn’t bring myself to walk away, at least not yet.
For a while, I just watched her sleep. She had this adorably cute, satisfied smile on her lips as she curled up in the furs and blankets. I leaned against the wall, studying the dark shadow of her eyelashes against her pale cheek.
I didn’t understand what she was doing to me. Whatever this was, I had to put an end to it before she got hurt.
With a sigh, I pressed the back of my head against the wall and stared at the ceiling as if it was an opening to the heavens.
What if she was… No. It couldn’t be.
I shook my head, steeling my heart and my head against anything that came after that. I wouldn’t think it or dream it or anything of the sort.
I wasn’t meant to find a mate.
I needed to get away. Putting distance between us was the only solution right now. I couldn’t risk bringing her to the cities to the east. That would put the people of Terraheim in danger. The only choice I had to keep her safe now was to guard her from afar.
With a hard swallow, I stared at her sleeping form, memorizing her pinkened cheeks, her dark hair, her glowing skin, and every inch of her luscious, gorgeous body. I’d remember the way she sighed when I put my hands on her and the way she’d moaned when I’d first put my mouth on her, how she clutched at me when I held her after it was all over.
I couldn’t keep her, but at least I’d have my memories.
I turned around and walked out the door.
I wasn’t going to let myself come back.
CHAPTER13
Sophia
The soft musical chirping of the birds outside my window woke me the next morning. I hadn’t a clue as to how long I’d slept, but judging by the soreness in my limbs, I’d needed the rest.
I blushed, not only remembering why, but realizing that I was still fully naked.
I stared down at my fingers, recalling the feel of his mouth against my most sensitive flesh, and a wave of aroused shame passed over me. I pressed my thighs together for a second, but I couldn’t resist sliding my fingers between my legs in remembrance of his mouth on me there. My fingers grazed against my clit, and I flinched, more than a little sensitive from yesterday’s activities. My face flushed even hotter as I jerked my hand away, feeling naughty yet undeniably satisfied.
Something between us has changed in the forest. I could feel it.
