Chapter 41 #2
‘Y-You should… rest,’ I stuttered, my hips buckling into her hand. I should be a better man, but gods, this feels so good.
‘I don’t want to rest, Rey. Please, I need you inside me,’ she whispered, her hand still sliding along my shaft.
‘Fuuuck,’ I groaned, grasping her luscious arse, kneading her flesh with my large hands and praying to all gods. ‘If that’s what you want.’
I was lost; with the last shred of sense left in my head, I pulled her onto my body, nearly coming as my cock slid over her slick entrance.
Sana’s wicked smile as she guided me inside drove me wild, but when she stopped, holding the head of my cock inside, I whimpered.
How this delicious woman could drive me insane with just a smile…
I dragged an unsteady breath into my lungs, focusing on Sana, holding back.
‘I want you, I just…’ She bit her lip. I stroked her slowly as she trembled.
My fingers glided over her skin. ‘My beautiful Sanika, my incredible, amazing, brave light. I love you more than life itself,’ I whispered when she bit her lip, pushing down.
‘It’s alright, sweetheart, we have all night – or tomorrow.
I’ll wait for you, as long as it takes, and if you never open for me, I’ll love you in any way I can. ’
Slowly, her channel relaxed, and she pressed down, letting me in. I rolled my hips in such languid motion it almost killed me. Still, she moaned, opening more, while the scent of lilac and honey grew stronger.
‘Do you want me to stop?’ I asked, adding a teasing tone to my voice. When she shook her head, I crooned. ‘That’s it, my love. Let me take care of you.’ Whether it was my words or the slow rocking of our bodies, her muscles yielded, taking me all in with a soft, adorable moan.
‘I forgot how big you are.’ She grinned, wriggling on my cock, and I wanted to roar with joy.
Sana accepted me, body and heart, and, seated deeply inside her, I was finally home.
I slowly rolled my hips, rocking her back and forth, observing her for the slightest grimace that would tell me to stop, but there was nothing but pleasure to see, even if her expression was strained by desire.
‘Tell me if it’s too much,’ I said, holding her when her back arched, her hips pressing against me. My cock hardened even more, twitching inside her, demanding I push harder, faster, and claim my Vila.
Before I could say anything, Roksana reached my eyepatch, pulling it off. ‘You are so beautiful,’ she whispered, startling me. I chuckled, my laughter sending vibrations throughout our conjoined bodies.
‘Beautiful? Ruggedly handsome, yes, but beautiful?’ I said, grasping her hips harder, moving her over me faster.
Roksana’s growl surprised me, snapping my gaze back to her face. I missed her hands moving, grabbing my wrists and forcing them above my head. My chuckle was silenced as she pushed her nipple into my mouth and rode me like a stallion.
‘You are beautiful,’ she panted, wrapping her hands around my neck.
‘Thoughts of you kept me alive. I knew I had to return, that I promised you…’ she said, riding me hard, before she leaned, biting the skin on my chest. ‘Harder.’ She yelped when I pulled my hands and grasped her hips, flipping her onto her back before slamming my cock back inside her.
‘What are you…? Oh gods. Yes, that’s it.
’ She wrapped her legs around me, caging me inside her.
‘I’m following your orders,’ I whispered, slowly pulling away from her before pushing back hard, moaning her name.
Sweat beaded on my forehead as I held back, moving slowly with consideration when all I wanted was to fuck her like an animal.
Sana’s pupils widened, her hips tilting to meet my thrusts, and that was all I needed.
‘You are so fucking perfect, Sanika,’ I murmured, rocking us back and forth, faster and harder with every stroke. She yielded to my strength, letting me take us higher, and despite my control, something in me unravelled. I wanted more of her, all of her, and I wasn’t sure I could ever let her go.
‘It feels so good, Rey… With you, it’s so good. Don’t stop. Please don’t stop.’ She cried out, her muscles tensing when she teetered at the edge of her pleasure but refused to let go, refused to lose control as if something held her back from giving herself completely.
‘You are safe with me,’ I murmured in her ear while my hips sped up our tantalising dance. ‘I’ll be your rock, your fire, your safe harbour. I will bend the world to your desires, my sweet, tantalising Viper.’
Her nails sank into my back when her pleasure crested, her tight walls squeezing my cock like a vise while they pulsed, robbing me of my sanity.
I wanted to last longer, to prolong our joining, but I was beyond saving.
The pain of her nails scoring my flesh, the heat rising in the back of my spine, travelling down to my aching cock, it was all too much.
The urgency built with the strength of a hurricane, and I gave in to the only force stronger than my control.
My love for her.
My release was brutal, weeks of abstinence filled her with an endless stream of my seed. Euphoria left me so weak I could barely see straight, but my arms refused to release her.
Sana was crying, soft sobs shaking her body. I rolled to the side, gathering her into my arms, stroking her back. I didn’t need to ask. In the deepest recesses of my soul, I knew she needed this. The love we shared had brought her more than pleasure.
I let my instincts guide me, dragging a soft, fluffy blanket up and building a nest, allowing only the softest material to touch her skin.
When she calmed down, I cupped her cheek, kissing her eyes, still puffy from the tears, before grabbing a sweet roll from the plate the servants had left for us.
She ate it without protesting and asked for water. I watched her drink, then smile and drink again before she nestled back into our burrow, and to my joy, she placed her head on my chest. Her body relaxed against mine, and she exhaled slowly.
‘Thank you,’ she said.
‘My unbroken Viper. I thank the gods for our meeting in that forest.’ I kissed her again, wondering what I’d done to deserve her – to gain her trust, to have her fall apart in my arms, unrestrained in her pleasure.
I wanted to dress my feelings in words worthy of her, to let her know she was a part of me, the most beautiful part, but everything that came to mind felt shallow and theatrical.
Just tell her if that’s how you feel. Tell her so you never regret leaving the words unsaid.
I hadn’t realised Cinared was listening, but he was right. I smiled when Sana trailed her finger over my nose, chuckling when she tapped its tip. I took her hand and kissed the inside of her palm.
‘Marry me.’
Her pupils widened, but she remained silent, so I continued.
‘I don’t have much to offer. I can’t promise to be virtuous, because I’m obsessed with you.
I can’t promise to be reasonable, because what I feel for you transcends reason.
All I can promise is that in every moment, here and beyond the Veil, I will always love you. Be my queen, Sanika.’
She remained silent. The flames crackled in the fireplace, saving us from absolute silence, but I had to close my eyes, preparing for her refusal. Sana had told me no before. I knew how much she cherished her freedom, how much she loved her workshop and Tova’s company, but I had to ask.
‘I want to, but do I have to lose it all?’ she whispered, wrapping her arms around my neck.
I breathed in, the sound so loud that Sana’s lips twitched, and a soft chuckle shook her body.
‘You know I come with baggage. My family, my magic, the Brotherhood… I bet Tova will move in too, and before you know it, you’ll have them all here. ’
A soft, painless slap landed on her bare arse, making her yelp while I raised my eyebrow in mock scolding.
‘Is that what’s holding you back? As long as I have you, I’ll take in Tova, Lily, and the entire Brotherhood.
’ Her laughter gave wind to my eloquence, and I started speaking nonsense just to see her bright smile get wider.
‘I mean it, Viper. Bring them all. I have a few titles to spare. I can make Irsha a knight, and I’ll even renovate dungeons for Lilliana’s convenience. ’
Her bright, unrestrained giggling was the best reward. Somewhere between the bouts of laughter, she gave me her answer.
And Dagome gained a new queen.
