Surprise rippled through me. “Of me?”
“Of you. Of me. Of these feelings. I’m afraid you feel the same way as I do. I’m afraid that you’ll still… no.” Reilyn shook her head. “I was afraid that you were going to kill me. That you’d think I was trying to betray your trust. But I left you in that street to make sure I wouldn’t betray you. Knowing she wanted you dead, I didn’t want to expose you to Opaline. I just… thought I could handle her. I didn’t realize she’d sense the union spell between us.”
I touched her cheek, wiping a fallen tear. All these words. None of them were good enough. I gently kissed her lips slowly to make sure she knew she could move away if she wanted. Reilyn returned the kiss, her arms moving to embrace me. Cautiously at first, I deepened the kiss. Reilyn responded just as cautiously. Her hands ran over my body, tugged my tunic from my trousers, and started on my belt. She moved slowly. Not because of any weakness. Since she woke, I could feel myself growing stronger with every passing moment. I didn’t know what spell Opaline used on her, but this magic connectionbetween us had purged the poison from her body. No, Reilyn was moving slowly, deliberately, for the same reason I was. Making sure I knew I could stop it if I wanted. But I didn’t want to. I let my hands slide up her body before I drew her closer to me and broke the kiss. “Reilyn.”
“Yes?” She panted.
“I want you. I want to make love to you.” I pressed my forehead to hers. “Do you want me?”
Reilyn smiled, looking happier than I’d ever seen her. “Yes.”
I moved back, breaking our kiss, only to pull my tunic over my head. I kicked off my boots and tugged my trousers off as Reilyn pushed aside the blankets and pulled her shift off. Her beautiful body was exposed to me, and I took my time to explore her with my eyes. My eyes moved on every dip and curve of her body. My groin hardened at the sight of her plump breasts, and her nipples pebbled. A cluster of freckles spread across her chest like stars on a midsummer night. I ran a finger down her naval, feeling her shiver under my touch, down to her belly button, and paused just above the start of curls covering her sex. My nostrils flared at the scent of her arousal.
I met her glistening eyes. I lifted my other hand to her head, touching a few strands of her hair, and played with it. “Thank you.”
“For what?”
“Letting me see you. Letting me touch you.” I pressed a kiss on her shoulder, “Giving me the honour of your trust.”
Reilyn reached around my head and tugged the ribbon free from my hair. Her fingers sifted through my hair. “Thankyou for letting me trust you. For proving over and over again that I can trust you.”
“I love you,” I said, unable to hide the truth any longer.
Tears pooled in her eyes. Her eyebrows pinched to a frown. I started to pull away, dropping my hand. But she caught my hand and brought it to her face. With her other hand, she settled in on my abdomen. My stomach flexed under her touch. “Thank you,” she whispered. I stroked her cheek and leaned forward until our breaths mingled. Through the bond, I now felt what was causing her tears. Pure joy.
I felt her fingers venturing farther down until they grasped me. A groan lodged in my throat, my cock jerking. I grabbed the back of her head and clashed her lips with mine. Her tongue tangled with mine into a fierce kiss. I was starved for her. I devoured her with my mouth, groaning loudly when her grip tightened on my cock and stroked me. A shiver of pleasure went through me. I felt it echo in her. Her hand moved up and down. I cursed under my breath, breaking the kiss.
“Slowly,” I murmured, planting a kiss on the shell of her ear. I didn’t want to come undone just yet. I wanted to be in her when that happened. Become undone together. I shifted on the bed, pushing her to lie down. Her hair spread like a fiery crown around her head. I nudged her thighs apart and cupped her. I smiled when she let out a sexy mewl, pleased to find her wet. I moved my fingers, stroking her. I loved the way she trembled for me.
“This is amazing,” Reilyn whispered, her eyes shining with pleasure. “I’ve never felt anything like it.”
I felt her pleasure through the bond, a wave of desire pulling me under. I stroked faster, playing with the little bundleof nerves. My ministration elicited delightful moans from her. She reached for me once again and jerked me. I moaned, a tingling sensation pulsing through my veins. I pressed my lips to hers and took her to newer heights. She quaked underneath me and moaned my name as she surrendered. “Araki.”
I panted, my muscles tense with the need to consume her. I said hoarsely, staring into her beautiful forest green eyes, “I want to be inside you.”
“The door,” Reilyn panted, moving her legs up my calves.
Chuckling, I glanced at the door. With my free hand, I flung a spell toward the door, sealing it. On second thought, I also added a muffling spell. I wanted no interruption. All I wanted was Reilyn. I pulled her knee up my hip, and she positioned me at her entrance. Excitement coursed through the both of us. Heat flared under my skin. Magic flowed between us, deepening our connection. I teased her first, then, looking into her eyes, I rasped, “Do you want me?”
A slow smile spread over her face. “Yes.”
Holding her close, I entered her. We both let out a moan. I shut my eyes, almost toppling over just from how she felt.Snug, warm.All mine. Her pleasure mingled with mine. I set a steady rhythm, finding just the right way to build her sensitivity. Reilyn trailed her fingers over my body, our kisses more fevered. As I thrust inside her, the sound of our moans and the slap of our skin filled the room. I opened my eyes to look at her face as I sank farther into her and found her staring at me. Reilyn looked at me in a way I never thought anyone could. As though she was seeing right into my soul, as though she could see all the pain I’d been through and promised not to erase it but to hold me when Icried. A promise to allow me to be vulnerable with her in a way I couldn’t be vulnerable with anyone else.
“Araki,” Reilyn moaned my name, pressing her breasts to my chest. The hard points of her nipples brushed my skin.
I increased my pace, watching as her eyes closed. Reilyn threw her head back on the pillow. Her fingers dug through my hair, pleasant prickles sweeping across my scalp. I drowned in the euphoric sensations, delirious from it. I was close, but I grunted, fighting against the end. I needed more. I wanted to feel her more. Her legs trembled, her thighs tightening against my hips. I thrust deeper as she caught my mouth in a kiss. With every thrust, I saw a future between us that I never thought I’d have…
It was more than sex between us… it was making love. I pulled her closer as the feelings grew stronger, my cock roused, and the thought disappeared.
This was what I wanted.
She was who I wanted.
And here she was, in my arms.
I’d never let anyone hurt her again.
