Gods, I would do anything this woman said. With one hand on her waist and the other along her back, I eased her backward until she lay her on the grass, careful to avoid any roots. With my arms braced on either side of her, I hovered just above her, gazing at her breathless form. I kissed her throat again, moving my lips lower until I reached the fabric of her dress. Sliding the strap aside, I bared her breast before capturing it with my mouth.

“Oh.Oh.” Her voice was ragged as she thrust her hips. My teeth clamped down on her nipple, and she uttered a strangled gasp.

Her hands were tugging on my trousers now. She pulled my shirtsleeves free, then plunged her hand underneath, grasping my length firmly.

I jerked, my body spasming from the feel of her. Stars above, I needed to be inside her. I needed hernow.

I ripped my vest off, popping several buttons in the process. Aurelia rolled up my shirt, and I lifted it over my head, tossing it to the ground. Her hands worked at my belt. I tugged it free before sliding the trousers off, leaving me naked before her. Her eyes roved over me with a hungry look that made my hardened length twitch in anticipation.

I hiked up her skirts, thanking all the gods I could name that she wasn’t wearing undergarments. She spread her legs for me, and I marveled at her slick center, so moist and ready for me.

“Gods, you look divine,” I groaned.

“Please, Fenn,” she begged, and damn it all if that didn’t undo me right there.

But instead of thrusting inside her like I yearned to do, I hoisted her up, settling her on my lap. “Not yet,” I murmured, pressing another kiss to her mouth. “I want to look at you when you come. I want to claim you with my mouth when I claim you with my cock.”

Her eyes closed as her legs clenched around me, pressing directly into my arousal. I angled myself, then slid into her.

She cried out, throwing her head back in rapture. I thrust again, deeper this time.

“Oh,gods.” Aurelia’s thighs clenched around me, burrowing me further inside her. She rocked against me, guiding me deeper until I had filled her completely. And for a moment, we held there, suspended, with me wholly inside her, our bodies twined. Hermouth was open in part shock, part pleasure, her wide eyes fixed on me.

“Aurelia,” I moaned, my legs quivering with need. But I held still, focusing on the pulsing and throbbing of my length inside her, the way it felt as it trembled with her body, the way she tightened around me.

I would never forget this moment, when our bodies fit together perfectly, her legs wrapped around me as I quivered inside her.

When the ache between my legs was almost unbearable, I lifted my hips, pushing with more force. She whimpered, then dug her heels into my back, urging me onward. She continued pushing with her legs, making a rocking motion.

I followed her lead, thrusting, driving deeper. When I withdrew, she hissed, making a frustrated noise in her throat. I only grinned, panting, as I slammed into her with violent fervor.

A ragged sound burst from her lips, her eyes closing as her mouth fell open. Her throat worked as she unleashed another rough cry when I plunged in a third time.

With each movement, our rhythm became more brutal, more uncontrollable. I gripped her ass, my fingernails digging into her flesh. She raked her nails along my shoulder blade and back, then bit down on my neck. Her moans turned into shouts and screams and I pounded into her, my grunts feral and unhinged. The sound of our skin slapping together mingled with our animalistic noises. I tangled my fingers in her hair, jerking her head back so I could drag my tongue up her throat.

Pressure built within me, an unbearable heat burning between my legs, my length pulsing inside her. Stars, it felt so good, to feel her stretch to fit me inside her, to taste the sweat on her neck, to smell her musky scent. The sounds of her as she came undone. Her limbs around me, bringing me even closer.

I dragged my thumb along her bottom lip and demanded, “Look at me.”

She lowered her head, her eyes dark and manic, practically unrecognizable as she met my gaze. My hands pressed into her back, and she cried out again. My mouth crashed into hers, swallowing her outburst, my tongue ravaging her. I was so close, so close to that edge. But I wanted her to tumble overit with me.

I thrust again, and she moaned in my mouth. I shoved my tongue deeper, and she met it with her own, pushing against me with savage delight. As I drove between her legs, my tongue plunged into her mouth, the movements synchronizing. In, out, in, out. Faster and faster. Harder and harder. I stroked my tongue within her just as I jerked my hips, driving myself into her body in every way I could.

She bit my tongue, but the flash of pain only stoked the flames inside me until I nearly exploded.

Oh gods, I would topple over that edge at any moment…

She withdrew to stare at me, pupils dilated and face covered in sweat. A clump of her hair stuck to her forehead, and gods above, she was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, all wild fury and untamed power.

As we stared at each other, still moving against one another, still keeping up that rhythm, I pressed my hand to her cheek, then slid down to her throat, dragging a finger down, down, down, until I reached her breast. I cupped one, then brought my mouth to the other, biting down hard. With my hand, I rolled her nipple between my thumb and forefinger, then pinched it.

That was all it took.

Her head rolled back as a guttural scream burst from her. With one final thrust, I spilled into her, my body seizing and quivering, my moans strangled as I came. Stars burst in my vision, and all I knew was sweet release, the chaos of pleasure and passion driving me over that edge with her.

She continued her movements, writhing against me even long after I’d finished. Her voice was hoarse and strained when we slowed and stopped, our bodies still joined together.

Burning stars, there was nothing else like it. Never before had I experienced such intense lovemaking before. Such a brutally addicting and all-consuming collision. I wanted nothing more than to stay inside her, to let myself get hard so we could start all over again.
