A sudden wave of desire washed over me as Charick’s words tickled my ears.
I glanced over my shoulder to find him staring at my body with unabashed hunger in his eyes.
In one swift move, he grabbed my hip and flipped me onto my back.
The towel fell away, fluttering to the floor and exposing me fully.
“So beautiful, so delicious, and so fucking mine.” The smile that curved his mouth was everything and dissolved any lingering hesitation to ash.
His mouth crushed down on mine, and I parted my lips to deepen the kiss.
His leathery, spicy scent enveloped me as his tongue explored the recesses of my mouth with sultry strokes.
Slowly, as though wanting to moment to last an eternity, Charick broke the kiss, climbing lower on the bed and positioning himself between my legs.
At some point in the last few minutes, I’d shoved aside his tunic, leaving him clad only in his leather pants.
His golden eyes roamed over me hungrily, but they held more than just desire… more than simple affection… just more.
As his eyes roamed every inch of my body, his hands trailed behind, leaving a path of goosebumps in their wake.
His fingertips traced a path from my shoulders down to my breasts, where he playfully pinched and squeezed.
He continued lower, gently stroking my stomach before his hands finally settled between my legs, eliciting a gasp of pleased anticipation from me.
With one last smug smile, Charick lowered his head, his hot breath fanning my core for a second before his tongue issued a long, slow lick over my lower lips.
My body spasmed with delight, and I couldn’t control the noises escaping my throat as he licked me slowly, his breath hot on my skin.
With each swipe of his tongue, I arched and writhed beneath him, craving more of his touch.
Charick took his time, teasing and well as pleasing.
I moaned and gripped the sheets as he flicked his tongue faster and harder over my clit, sending waves of pleasure through me.
As if that wasn’t enough to send me flying into the heavens, I felt the touch of his finger stroking through my wetness.
“You’re so tiny,” Charick murmured as his finger teased the entrance of my body before sliding in slowly. I felt every delicious inch as he moved the digit in and out, building up the pleasure while his tongue stroked and swirled around my sensitive clit, causing me to arch my back and moan deeply.
Charick’s fingers expertly traced along my inner walls, hitting the spot that made me arch my back and cry out.
He chuckled at my reaction, adding a second finger and increasing his pace.
His tongue danced over my sensitive nub as I fell apart under his touch.
The pleasure was so intense it felt like he was wringing orgasm after orgasm out of me with his fingers and tongue alone.
With one last thrust, he sucked hard on my clit, and I couldn’t hold back a loud cry as I shuddered into blissful oblivion.
Raspy laughter filled the room, sending vibrations through my body as his skilled fingers continued working inside me.
The sound of my own moans reverberated in the air, a wild and primal expression.
At that moment, it didn’t matter how uninhibited I sounded.
All that mattered was the intense pleasure coursing through me from Charick’s touch. I never wanted it to end.
With one last lingering lick, Charick slid up to lie beside me. His fingers gently tangled in my hair, pulling me closer as he kissed me deeply. Meanwhile, his other hand continued to tease and stroke me intimately, sending shivers of pleasure through my body.
“Is it better now, my heart?” Charick murmured a few minutes later, after wringing another orgasm from me with those perfect fingers of his.
“Mmm.” I was speechless, overwhelmed by the pleasure that surged through my veins like wildfire. Euphoria pulsed through me like an electric current. Every nerve ending tingled with sensation, leaving me unable to form coherent thoughts or words.
Charick’s deep, rumbling laughter filled the air as he flipped onto his side and pulled me close. His body was warm and large, curving around me perfectly. I snuggled closer, suddenly aware of the unmistakable bulge pressing against my thigh.
I lifted my gaze to find his golden eyes glinting mischievously. A satisfied smile curved his lips as I reached out and lightly brushed my fingertips against the bulge in his pants.
“What about…?” I dropped my gaze to where my fingers stroked over his erection. I hesitated, unsure if I was ready for more, but the heat between us was undeniable.
“Giving you pleasure is all I need, my heart.” Charick caught my exploring hand, pulling it to his mouth and pressing a kiss on my palm. “Rest now.”
I nestled into his chest, my body molding against his as if we were two puzzle pieces finally fitting together.
The steady beat of his heart—a heart beating with the same tempo as my own—lulled me into a comfortable daze, and I allowed myself to dream of what the future might hold should our escape prove successful.
A future with my friends and perhaps something real and wonderful growing between me and Charick.
A small part of me even dared to believe that maybe, just maybe, this mate shit might be real after all.
