Chapter 37 #2
He rolls my tunic up and over my breasts. When it reaches my neck, he helps me sit up to pull it over my head. His gaze falls on my bare chest, flutters dancing inside my stomach.
“Beautiful,” he murmurs.
He lowers his lips to my stomach and trails soft kisses up my skin. When he reaches my breast and sucks a nipple into his mouth, I nearly come undone. His mouth is warm and wet, and my core follows its lead.
Caelum must sense it because he slides a hand between my thighs. Thanks to the underwear that I chose not to wear last night, wetness seeps through the thin material of my leggings. He growls and nips at my nipple.
Oh gods…
There are no gods here, Camryn. Only us.
Are you sure you aren’t one? You have wings, after all.
He chuckles against my breast. The only deity I will be on my knees for is you.
Another wave of wetness pools between my thighs.
His hand slides up to the waistband of my leggings and dips beneath. I spread my legs to allow him easier access and when his hand reaches the apex of my thighs and a finger slides into the seam of my cunt, I moan so loud that I don’t know if Caelum growls or it’s just an echo of me.
So wet and ready for me.
That mouth of yours ...
He grins against my mouth. You know you love it.
His hand leaves my core and I pull away to scowl at him.
He chuckles as his fingertips slip around the waistband of my leggings.
He tugs the fabric down my hips and I lift my ass so he can free me.
He sucks in a sharp inhale and I expect him to dive mouth first between my legs.
Instead, he looks at me with burning amber eyes. I want to be inside you.
I bite my lip and nod. I want that, too.
He shifts off the bed and I keep my eyes locked on his as his hands slip down to his pants and he shoves them down. My mouth gapes as my gaze falls on his impressive length. I’ve been with guys of all different sizes but my throat constricts at the thought of fitting all of Caelum inside me.
His hand wraps around the base his cock as he gazes softly at me. We’ll take it slow.
I swallow and nod again.
He returns to me, his lips pressing to mine as his chest skims mine. I glide my hands up his back, over his shoulders, and down his corded arms before they frame his face. His skin feels so incredible beneath my touch.
Thanks. I make sure to moisturize.
I chuckle as my lips leave his and I playfully slap his arm.
He gazes at me, his thumb brushing across my lips. “Are you ready?”
“Yes,” I breathe.
His cock presses against the entrance of my core. He captures my lips with his as he presses slowly into me. I inhale as he sinks deep into my core.
Are you okay?
Yes. Gods, yes.
With one more breath, he’s fully seated inside me and my lungs almost burst from the glorious sensation of friction and fullness.
Is it too much?
No. You feel fucking incredible. Now, move!
He nips at my lower lip. Yes, my lady.
He starts to thrust slowly, and his lips move to my breast, tugging my nipple into his mouth.
“Caelum,” I moan.
He picks up the pace as I relax around him. He leans back, gripping my ankles to place on his shoulders.
Oh, fuck …
I feel my climax building as he slams into me, and when his thumb finds its way between my thighs, it starts to circle my swollen bud, and I can no longer contain my release.
I scream his name as I climax and clamp around his cock. Caelum growls and increases his pace, stretching out the rolling waves of ecstasy.
As I slow my breathing, he gently removes my ankles from his shoulders and places my legs back on the bed. He lowers himself to me, our skin pressing together as he rocks back and forth.
His fingers brush the hair from my face, and he gazes at me. “You’re so fucking perfect, Camryn. I love you.”
“I love you,” I pant before he kisses me deeply. Our tongues slick together and when another orgasm claws its way through me, I arch into him, moaning into his mouth. He growls in response and finds his own release inside me.
When he slips from my body, I am a molten pool, and as much as I would like to stay entrapped between the sheets of Caelum’s bed, doing that repeatedly, Aurora will be here soon and while I’m no prude, I’d rather not their traveling party find me naked in bed.
For their wellbeing, it’s best they don’t find you naked.
I arch a brow at Caelum, who lies on his side facing me. “And why’s that?”
His fingers trail up the line of my body, leaving goosebumps in their wake. “Because your body is a gift. One to be treasured and worshiped. And if anyone lays eyes on you without your permission, I will make it so they never gaze upon anything ever again.”
While his words are intense and severe and absolutely absurd, they send a shock of heat straight to my core. I clamp my thighs together, which doesn’t go unnoticed by my bed partner.
He gazes up at me with darkened eyes. It’s good to know threats of bodily harm to others makes you wet.
My cheeks heat. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I bite the inside of my cheek. I don’t know what I’m more embarrassed about. That his threat made me wet, or that he called me out on it.
He grins smugly at me. Do you wish for me to check?
Something purrs in my chest at the thought. “We should get out of bed. They will be here any minute.”
Caelum’s tongue flicks over his bottom lip. “They can wait. I’m still hungry.”
A fresh wave of heat floods to my core and I fall back against the pillow. “Oh, fuck,” I mumble as Caelum shifts so that he hovers over my waist.
“Tell me you don’t want me to taste you, Camryn. Would you deny me such a gift?”
I lift my head to gaze at him, his mouth so close to the apex of my thighs that I can feel his breath. I bite my lip. “How cruel. I could never deny such a thing.”
He growls and in the next breath, his mouth is on me and I fall back against the bed, swept away in bliss.
After Caelum gives me another earth-shattering orgasm, we dress and pad back out to the balcony to cool off and enjoy mugs of tea while we await our guests’ arrival.
I watch him as he gazes out over the land, and I’m struck by his beauty. Not just his physical appearance, but who he is beneath that glossy veneer. Is he perfect? No. He’s made decisions I don’t agree with, but we’re all complicated and painted in shades of grey.
As much as I want to be mad at him for bringing me here, I can’t find it in me. He’s been with me from the beginning, and I’m annoyed with myself for how long it took me to let him in.
He turns to gaze at me and for once I don’t think he’s reading my mind because he beams an unfiltered grin that makes my heart burst. I smile back at him and then my gaze slips around him to the landscape below, where I spy a small group trudging toward the palace, golden waves rippling in the wind.
