Chapter Fifteen

Susara

I could feel a change in Caivid as soon as I cuddled in closer to him. He melted into me, relaxed completely, pressed his nose to the top of my head, and sucked in such a deep breath it felt like he was trying to breathe in my soul.

What was even stranger was that I wanted him to. And not just because of the mind-blowing, life-altering orgasm he’d just given me or for the protection he’d promised me.

I knew we shouldn’t linger here, knew I should get back to Oakwall. Back to my father. Back to worrying about my flock and wondering what tomorrow would bring.

But those troubles seemed far away as I lay here in Caivid’s arms. I was able to breathe. To think clearly. His strength and calm relaxed me.

I was asleep before I realized I was even falling .

It was the best sleep I could remember. Deeper than any other I’d had, and when I awoke, I felt so refreshed I could hardly believe my eyes when I looked around the shelter, dimly lit by the rising sun. The scent of frost was in the air, but my cloak was placed on my back and. . .

And Caivid was warm under me. I’d slept directly on his chest.

“Good morning,” he said, far too casually for someone who’d had a person crushing him all night.

“I’m so sorry.” I sat up away from him. The chill prickled my skin, and only then did I realize I was still naked.

Caivid groaned softly, his eyes fixed on my body, and my breath hitched.

Fades, I should have been embarrassed, but the way his eyes lit and melted at the sight of me made my heart skip right over itself.

He looked like something out of my wildest dreams. His green skin was beautiful in the predawn light.

His abs were shadowed, accentuating each one.

The memory of his hips rolling under me, of the pleasure he’d worked from my body. . .

Fades, it was making me squirm.

His hands trailed down my sides and my skin broke out in goosebumps. “You smell so Fades-blasted good , sunshine. You want me again, don’t you?”

“Yes.” I saw no reason to lie to him. “Yes, I do.”

He hummed under his breath and then he cupped the back of my head, brought me down to him. His tongue delved inside to duel with mine, stoking a fire in me that quickly became a raging inferno. I wanted more. Needed more.

He cupped his hands under my ass and hoisted me up, but I resisted him. I had a plan for this, but I needed his permission first. “Wait. Before I lose my head. . . I want to try to get you inside me this time. Will you let me?”

His eyes went huge. “That’s. . . risky.”

“I know.” I took a deep breath. “I know it is, but I’m willing to take the risk to have all of you.”

He sucked in a hard breath and then raked a hand over his face. “Fuck, Susara. You make me crazed .”

I squirmed as he spread my legs wider.

“I need to ready you.” He cupped my ass and brought me up around his face again. I shivered at the intimate positioning. Fades, it was even more intense now that there was enough light to see by .

The shivers turned into a groan as Caivid delved in, swirling his tongue around my clit.

Pleasure burst behind my eyes and my pussy clenched as if trying to find something to fill it.

He didn’t make me wait long. Caivid pushed a finger into me, curled it upward into that spot that made my skin go shivery and hot.

His lips formed a tight circle around my clit as he sucked, flicking it with his tongue.

My hips bounced and my nipples beaded, and the pleasure was so much I couldn’t think straight.

“Come for me,” he groaned. “Lose yourself to pleasure, sunshine.”

His words brought me back to reality and it dawned on me he was trying to get me distracted. Trying to make me lose myself so I’d forget all about my plan.

I used my slight irritation to help hold back the ecstasy. “Fill me more, Caivid.”

He groaned and, blast it all, the hum of it felt so good against my pussy and the feel of his second finger stretching me open made my skin go all hot and shivery. I was right on the edge of an orgasm and it took every drop of concentration I had not to come right then and there .

But I wasn’t ready. Caivid’s shaft was huge. “I need more, Caivid. Another finger.”

He sucked in a sharp breath and the cold air helped to cool my blood as he worked a third finger into me. I was so wet and wanton there was barely a pinch. I bounced my hips on his hand, readying myself. It felt so good I could see stars behind my eyes.

“That’s it.” His fingers thrust hard under me. “You’re so perfect, Susara. You’re so hot and wet. Come for me. Now.”

Fades I wanted to. I wanted it more than almost anything .

But not more than having him.

I reached down and pushed his hand away. He released me with a pop and his eyes went wide with surprise. I shuddered as my pussy clenched at the loss.

But it would be worth it.

“Now,” I crawled down his body. “It’s your turn.”
