CHAPTER TWENTY
ARLEN
During our time together, Tyos had given my hole a few teasing touches and even a little pressure once just to watch my reaction.
It always made me gasp and my body clench with want.
Feeling his slippery fingers tracing over my hole was more intense than I expected and a loud moan ripped from me, silenced only by Tyos's mouth claiming mine.
My body moved without my permission, hips undulating as he softened me to his touch, my breath picking up until I was panting and had to rip my mouth away from his to gasp for air.
“T-Tyos…”
The plea in my voice seemed to encourage him because he pushed more firmly against my hole, letting the tip of his finger breach me just enough to make me dizzy with the knowledge that he would soon be inside me.
I clutched at his arms, trying in vain to pull him closer, to force him to do more, and whined against his lips when he only wiggled the tip of his finger before pulling away again.
“Turn over,” he instructed, helping me onto my hands and knees.
I wasn’t sure why he was requesting it, but if it meant he’d touch me more, I didn’t care what position he put me in.
I let my head drop, my body trembling with want as I fought to maintain some semblance of composure.
That quickly flew out the window when Tyos’s hands gripped my hips and his tongue swiped over my hole.
“Oh gods! What are you–”
I couldn’t finish the sentence. Not when Tyos’s tongue was laving over me, lighting me up in ways I’d never experienced before, even in the few times he’d touched me before.
I’d never ever heard of someone using their mouth in such a way, but not one part of me was willing to ask him to stop, especially not when my body loosened enough for him to push his tongue inside.
“Ungh!” A strangled groan ripped from me, and I had to bury my face into the furs to muffle it. I pushed my hips back in a desperate bid for more, his grip on my hips tightening to keep me in place as he pushed his tongue in and out until I was howling into the furs.
I felt the scrape of his beard on my skin as he moved, making these hungry growling sounds like he intended to eat me alive. The thought made my body tighten in warning of my rapidly approaching release.
“T-Tyos, I–”
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to warn him or beg him not to stop.
He must have understood me without the explanation, though, because he pulled away, ignoring my sob as he returned to touching me with his fingers instead.
I was so busy reeling from the magnitude of sensations coursing through me that I didn’t expect him to push his finger inside me.
I very nearly came instantly, my body clamping down on his finger as I cried out in surprise.
What had been a tight fit before now slid in and out easily, perhaps because of the way he warmed my body with his tongue.
I moaned helplessly, rocking my hips to meet his hand, and arched my back when he pulled his finger out and returned a moment later, pushing two inside instead.
Whether it was by his preparation with his mouth or his careful touches, I didn’t feel even a moment of pain.
Even when he eased in a fourth finger, making me groan at just how full I was, I felt only pleasure.
It made me wonder—if he knew how to prepare me in a way not to cause pain, why had we waited so long to do this?
When his fingers pulled free again, I turned my face to the side to draw in a few deep breaths, my face flushed hot both from muffling myself and from arousal.
I’d never felt so needy in my life. My cock practically throbbed with desire, and I moaned helplessly when Tyos took my hips, the head of his erection rubbing against my hole.
“Tyos, please…” I moaned. I wasn’t sure how much more I could take, and I wanted him inside me before I exploded.
I needed to feel that connection with him, the one I’d craved since the first time he brought me to completion and taught me just how much pleasure one person could experience with another.
“Anything you want, kolrav,” he murmured, his words more growly and barbaric than I’d ever heard him before.
I wanted to look over my shoulder, to see his expression, but before I could readjust, he breached me, giving me a whole new appreciation for his diligent preparation as the thick length of him pushed inside.
“Ah! Tyos! Oh, gods!”
He let out a sound that was a cross between a growl and a groan, sliding in slowly and carefully, still protecting me even when he sounded pained to do it.
When his hips finally rested against my ass, we both let out moans together, and Tyos draped himself over my back, peppering kisses across my shoulder and whispering sweet words I didn’t have the hope of translating with my wits so thoroughly scattered.
Whatever he said, it was said with a tone of awe and affection, and maybe even a little bit of love.
It melted me, and my body relaxed fully, which seemed to be what he was waiting for.
He pulled out half way and slid in again, not roughly but slow and steady, like he was testing the waters.
A moan ripped from me, and I writhed in ecstasy as pleasure sang through my body.
Tyos’s arm came around my chest, holding me to him, either to keep me close or to stop my movements, I wasn’t sure.
I couldn’t even guess. I was too delirious with pleasure, shoving my hips back to meet his as he picked up his pace and started thrusting more steadily inside me.
Tyos started talking again, his words punched out with each thrust, and I caught a little of what he said when he started switching between his language and the common tongue like he couldn’t think straight enough to pick only one.
“Ungh, kolrav, so perfect. So beautiful. You’re mine.
I knew when I first saw you. My perfect bondmate. I–Ah!”
My body clenched at his words, making him groan and buck his hips in a rougher thrust that caused me to cry out.
It felt like I was no longer in control of my own body as I writhed and shoved back onto him, my body demanding more, more, more even as my release barreled toward me.
When he gripped my hips, tipping them and changing the angle, my eyes crossed as his cock struck something that made pleasure rip through me like a lightning bolt.
“Tyos!”
Our skin slapped together as he attacked that new spot with single-minded focus.
I had no hope of keeping my orgasm at bay, not when he was doing things to my body I hadn’t thought possible.
I came with a wail that I barely muffled in the furs, my toes curling and body tightening around his length as pleasure bombarded me until I was sure I would lose consciousness.
Tyos must have been close as well because he let out a ferocious roar, succumbing to his release just after I did.
The sound gave me shivers, and when he eventually slipped free of my body, I turned over to look at him, thinking he’d somehow been replaced with the barbarian everyone feared making noises like that.
But then he smiled at me in that sweet way that made me melt like ice in the summer sun and the worry disappeared entirely.
A barbarian he may be, but my sweet lover wasn’t the ferocious type unless he absolutely needed to be.
I never felt safer than I did wrapped in his arms.
“So what happens next?”
I was cuddled against Tyos’s chest, listening to his heartbeat with a sappy smile on my face as I traced over the necklace he always wore unless he was bathing.
He’d told me what it was, a gift from his father given to him when he came of age and joined in providing for the clan.
When I’d asked him if his family would be disappointed that he ended up with a man, he swore vehemently that they would have no issue with it and would only care that he was happy.
I wanted to make him as happy as he made me, so I hoped that meant they wouldn’t hate me.
Tyos’s fingers drifted along my back in a soothing way that made me sigh happily, his tone just as dreamy as I felt. “Next is bonding. Then bigger tent. Then forever.”
I couldn’t help the smile that completely overtook my face, though I tried to hide it against his chest. He wouldn’t allow it for long, lifting my chin with a gentle grip before peppering me with kisses that made me smile so hard, my cheeks began to hurt.
“My Arlen. Gods blessed me when finding you.”
“Oh gods,” I practically sobbed, covering my eyes with my hands to block out at least some of the onslaught of emotions. If I got any happier, I was worried I’d burst. “How can you be so sweet? I didn’t stand a chance when it came to falling for you, did I?”
His tone was a little wicked when he replied, “No, kolrav. I stop at nothing to win your heart.”
Then he twisted to put me back underneath him and pulled my hands away from my face, pinning them above me so I couldn’t hide from him any longer.
He plundered my mouth in a kiss that stirred my arousal back to life, and when he nudged my legs apart to settle between them, I gasped at the feel of his weight against me.
We’d only rested for a short period before he was making me crave him again.
I got the feeling we wouldn’t be sleeping much tonight.
