“Oh, Kyllen…” I pressed down against him, heat spreading through me in sparks of desire.

He was right. All I had to do was give myself permission to relax. And he was here with me, ready to help me do it.

I hugged his neck, hissentiesspiraling up and down my arms.

“Well, if you think it’ll work…”

He smirked. “When did itnotwork between you and me?”

True. When Kyllen and I were together everything always worked in the most magical of ways.

He trailed his lips down the side of my neck. “Let me take you.”

I unfastened his pants, freeing his erection. He helped me slip out of my pants, too. I rose on my knees over his lap, then slowly lowered my hips, taking him in, inch after delicious inch. My sarong-skirt draped over our joined hips.

Pleasure surged through me, melting away the worry. I lifted myself a little, sliding up his hard length, then slid down again. A flock of warm tingles spread through my core, teasing and making me wish for more.

Kyllen leaned back, propped on his arms. Gripping his shoulders, I hovered over him. Hissentiescaressed my chest. Their mouths clamped onto my nipples. Heat rippled through me, pooling low in my belly.

My jaw slackened, letting my moan out. He kissed me, fervently, raking his teeth over my bottom lip, his tongue invading my mouth.

“Ride me,”he’d said.

And I did. I moved faster, grinding against him. Orgasm already flickered and teased in the distance, out of my reach yet.

Faster…

Harder…

I used his body to chase my pleasure, just as he’d wanted me to do. It crested and burst, rocking through my entire body.

I whimpered, holding on to him as the climax rolled through me in swells, again and again.

“Perfect,” he murmured, kissing my face. “You’re just perfect, my queen.”

He rolled me over. And as my body still quivered with bliss, he pumped his climax into me in a few hungry, powerful thrusts.

We lay on the grass mat together, side by side—spent.

“Feeling better?” Kyllen rose on his elbow.

I stretched languidly through my entire body, smiling at him. “Simply amazing.”

“Told you, you would.” He placed a kiss on the tip of my nose. “Now, let’s get you to bed, my queen.”

Islept well, after all. Kyllen knew what I needed, sometimes even better than I knew it myself. When I woke up, he was already out of the tent. A few minutes later, he entered, holding two cups of tea.

“How are you this morning?” he asked, handing a cup to me.

I smiled, taking a sip of the steamy, fragrant tea sweetened with lily honey. “Well-rested.”

His expression turned smug.

“I guess I should thank you for fucking me out of my mind last night,” I muttered into my tea.
