Chapter Seventeen

I forgot to knock onthe bathroom door and instead barged right in on Saber stepping out of the bath and was treated to a full eyeful. Of everything.

My mouth gaped as my eyes roamed up and down his brown, glistening body. Rippling muscles covered his chest and arms, marred by the occasional scar, but it made him hotter. His cock grew even larger under my gaze. My wide eyes rose to meet his, and he was watching me with a rare glint of amusement mingling with the heat in his expression.

“S-sorry. I should have knocked.”

“That’s all right, love. There’s nothing I want to hide from you.”

I nodded so hard my teeth snapped together. “Right. Right. Of course.”

He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist and I breathed a little easier even while a small pang of disappointment shot through me.

“Didn’t you have a bath this morning after training with Sky?” He still had signs of amusement crinkling the corners of his fathomless eyes.

Like he forgot. He was the one who prepared it for me.

“I did. I came in to brush my teeth.”

“By all means.” He gestured to the sink where my brush and paste had joined theirs.

We shared a space over the sink while we freshened up, the smell of mint overpowering up the scent of his soap. Our arms kept brushing against each other, raising goosebumps along my skin.

Awkwardness filled me as we finished up and turned to return to our own rooms. Part of me wanted to draw it out, part of me wanted to run away, the largest part of me wanted to grab him and drag him into my room and into my bed.

The largest part of me won.

I stepped in close to him, eying the droplets of water trickling down his chest. I wanted to lick each one off his skin.

“Stop looking at me like that, love. I don’t know if you’re ready for what it will mean if you don’t.” His voice came out deep and rumbling.

I tilted my head and placed my hands on his chest. “I’m ready.”

He peered at me and searched my face. “Are you sure?”

“Yes.” And I was. So sure. So ready.

“Good.” He kissed me softly, barely a peck before sweeping me up off of my feet and into his arms like he was some hero from a story. I refused to acknowledge even to myself how hard it made me swoon.

Saber carried me into my bedroom and laid me with heartbreaking tenderness on the bed, then laid beside me on his side, hovering over me, staring down at me.

“I’m going to ask one last time if you’re sure you’re ready. I’m not going to stop like Sky did last night. I won’t stop until I have you.”

I gulped, trying to consider seriously. But my entire self — body and soul, screamed out at me how much I wanted him. My brain might have disagreed, but I couldn’t hear it over the longing inside me.

“I don’t want you to stop.”

I didn’t know if this was what they planned as they teased me all day or if they just couldn’t help themselves, and right then I didn’t give a shit. They hadn’t pressured me or tried to force me or even manipulate me. And it didn’t mean I was in love or had decided to stay.

But perhaps I was one step closer to making that choice.

With a groan, Saber covered my upper body with his and took my lips in a kiss brimming with hunger. He was gentle, but still firm, demanding I open to him. His tongue slid inside my mouth, flirting with mine, drawing me into a teasing dance. I sighed into his mouth and wrapped my arms around his shoulders, pulling him closer. My hands slid down his back until I reached the towel and I yanked it off him.

Saber kissed me harder, his hands roving along my sides, but keeping his touch innocent. I squirmed beneath him and grabbed at his ass, squeezing with needy fingers.

He chuckled against my lips and pulled back so he could trail kisses across my cheeks, down my neck and down, down, down as he unbuttoned my shirt. Baring my breasts to his view, he hissed out a breath before falling on my left one with tongue and teeth.

I arched against him with a desperate moan. He continued his journey down my body with his mouth all the way to my waistband. With a few flicks of his tongue, he teased me until I writhed and grasped at the blankets beneath me. He slid my trousers off my legs, taking my underwear along with them and we were both naked.

He was so fucking gorgeous. I wanted to explore every inch of him.

My legs fell open, and he scooted down my body until he could bury his face in my core. I almost leapt from the bed. No one had ever done this to me. I’d heard about it whispered in the back of taverns and read about it in books, but most of my encounters were of the quick, one night varieties.

Saber grabbed my hips to keep me still as he pressed kisses on the inside of my thighs, opening me up even wider. He swept a long, hard lick right up the center of me before returning to nibble at the juncture of my thighs. The whimpering sigh escaping me was embarrassing, but I was too far gone to really care.

Every single nerve ending on my body buzzed with life and need and want.

He released my hips and spread my lower lips so he could suck and flick at my bud. I dug the heels of my palms into my eyes, trying to stay quiet, trying to stay still.

Candlelight danced across his skin making it glow. The muscles in his back and shoulders rippled as he continued pleasuring me.

Saber licked me harder and faster and slid two fingers inside me. I panted and trembled, a sheen of sweat rising on my skin. He fucked me with his fingers and teased me with his tongue until I was a mad mess, desperate and aching.

“I need you, Saber. Please.” I needed him inside me, I needed to be filled with him, surrounded by him, pressed down by his weight.

He raised his head from my pussy, but didn’t slow the thrust of his fingers. “I’m right here, love. Trust me to take care of you.”

I nodded frantically. Anything he wanted to bring me back to the edge.

He smiled. “Sky told me you tasted like heaven, but I didn’t realize how right he was. I can’t get enough of you.”

All I could do was whimper again in response. His eyes flared, and he dove back into my pussy, his tongue lashings messier, wilder. He kept making little sounds of enjoyment and bliss, his free hand reaching up and play with my nipple.

My breathing quickened and the heat in my belly boiled over and my entire body locked tight. I grabbed the pillow and stuffed it over my face to muffle my scream and I shook and bucked.

Saber gave me one last lingering lick and crawled back up my body, removing the pillow from my face to smile at me.
