“Aye,” I whispered, wriggling against him. Could he feel how wet I was, already? My core pulsed, nothing to do with the water around us and everything to do withKragorn.

I wanted this.

I wantedhim.

I wanted to be his.

My legs rose, wrapping around his waist. I strained closer, settling against him until I could feel the tip of his cock probing at my weeping, aching core.

Kragorn’s groan echoed from his chest.

I loved this.

Nay.

It came to me in a flash.

I didn’t just love his body and the way he made me feel. I loved the way he spoke to me as if I were an equal, as if Imattered. I loved the way he treated me, I loved the way he thanked me unthinkingly when I cared for him.

I loved…him.

“Lillian,” he groaned.

And I felt myself smiling as I gave him all of myself. I didn’t care if I was his captive. I didn’t care if I was a hostage against the safety of the village. I only cared that I was in Kragorn’s arms, and I wanted him more than my next breath.

“Aye, Kragorn! Aye!”

CHAPTER TEN

Kragorn

MyKteerhowled in excitement,and my heart thrummed in beat.Mine mine mine, the beat seemed to roar as I lifted Lillian. My body was still healing, the weeks and months of inactivity and sickness had taken their toll…but for this?

For loving my Mate?

I would be the most powerful male in existence.

Take claim love lick claim fook need!

I slid my feet along the sandy bottom of the heated pool, heading for a particular ledge—a ledge I had dreamed of seeing her laid out upon since those dark days in the dungeon.

Now I lifted her and she gasped, reaching for my shouldersas I pulled her away from my body and plunked her arse down on the rock.

“Kragorn?”

“Hush, love,” I scolded, stepping back just far enough—my hands still on her waist—to take in the view. I took her wrists in my hands to hold her still as she wiggled.

“I’ve been waiting months for this view. Dinnae deny me now.”

Her adorable brows rose.

“Months?”

“Aye,” I drawled, my gaze caressing her breasts, the curves of her thighs. “I watched ye even then, even before ye were brave enough to save me,dkaar.”

“What does that mean?” she whispered, her hands twisting in mine. “Duh-kar?”

I lifted my gaze to hers, the sound of the word coming from her sweet mouth melting my heart.
