“Hmm?” I ask, swiping a thumb over his nipple, which hardens for me. “Yeah, let’s get in.”
Axum watches me for a few seconds, his purple eyes flashing with lust before he stands to remove his pants. His dick is rock-hard, flopping obscenely against his belly before bobbing back to stick straight in the air. My mouth waters, wanting to take him into my mouth, but I tamp it down, stripping out of my clothes to slide into the slow-moving water.
Once we’re both submerged, Axum pulls me close and I wrap my legs and arms around him, practically pasting myself to his body.
Axum holds me as if I weigh nothing and I lean my head against his chest, soaking up his warmth. He feels so good, so big and hot, almost surrounding me. How could I give this up?
Sure, I’d like to keep writing and releasing my books, but I’d rather stay here with him, where I know I’m loved and appreciated and taken care of.
After a few minutes of silence, with my head still resting on Axum’s chest, I say, “Tell me your dreams, Axum. Tell me what it is you want.”
“I have the one thing I want in my arms right now.”
A smile stretches my face. It’s one of the things I love about Axum—he says the sweetest things, but not because he thinks he’ll get some ass. He really feels what he says. I love how open he is with expressing his feelings for me.
“I feel the same way,” I tell him honestly. “But other than me, what else do you want?”
He adjusts me more carefully in his arms so he can slide one of his hands into my hair, scratching along my scalp. Axum learned how much I love to have my scalp massaged and takes every opportunity to do it, knowing how much it relaxes me.
He says, “I would like to ensure my subjects are happy. I want to make my kingdom better. As I have told you, my sire was not the best ruler and for a time, he neglected his rule. I want everyone that lives in Daz Vrokrad to know that I am trying to make sure they are taken care of and to make their lives as easy as possible.” He stops massaging my scalp and draws my head back gently so he can meet my eyes. “As I want to make your life easy. Rainn, I want to give you the world. I want to give you everything you have ever desired. I want you to have the easiest and most peaceful life I can give you. You, Rainn. You are my dream. Having someone that will be there for me, ensuring I take a break when I am feeling overwhelmed and allowing me to pour out my problems and concerns without judgment. And also, helping me with my rule. With you by my side, I can have the kingdom I always wanted and the mate I did not know I needed. I love you, Rainn. You are my dream. I will spend the rest of my days making you happy.”
Tears prick my eyes as I listen to him. I’ve never had anyone tell me I was their dream before.
If nothing else tells me that Axum is the man—orc—for me, telling me I was what he needed did it for me.
Tears streaming down my face, I meet Axum’s gaze. “Then show me, Axum. Claim me. Make me yours.”
ChapterFourteen
Axum
My cock lengthensas Rainn presses his soft lips to mine. Thinking of Rainn wearing my claiming bite, showing the world that he belongs to me, makes my heart race and my knot tingle.
Hoisting him higher on my waist, I keep my lips planted on his as I climb out of the brook, laying him on the blanket. I lean over him, enjoying how his wide-eyed stare reflects all the heat and lust I am sure mine contains.
His small hand rests on my cheek, making me shudder with want. “What happens now? What do I do?”
I lower myself, pressing my weight into him. He is so slight beneath me, but he does not seem to mind my weight, wrapping his legs around me as best as he can. “As we make love and I reach my peak, I will bite you and knot you. The bite will imprint into your skin, showing the world that you belong to me.”
“Do I bite you too?”
“Yes. Your claiming bite will be locked into me as well. And I will wear it with pride.”
I bend and kiss him again, not getting enough of his mouth. Rainn returns my kiss with enthusiasm, grinding his length against mine. Patting around, I find the basket we brought with us and dig out the pleasure oil, making sure it is within arm’s reach for later.
Reaching between us, I grab his cock and stroke him from base to tip, using the fluid that leaks from his crown to make the glide easier.
Rainn snatches his mouth from mine, tossing his head back as he moans his pleasure. I watch him, loving the expression on his face as I take him closer and closer to the brink. Sweat dots his beautiful brown skin, making it glow under the canopy of my secret spot.
I have always dreamed of bringing someone special here, to the privacy of these woods that are so sacred to me. It is perfect that he is here with me now, so I can claim him as mine forever.
I continue to work Rainn with my hand while I kiss down his body, lapping over his gland where my mark will go. Rainn shivers, thrusting his fingers into my hair. His blunt nails against my scalp feel good, sending a jolt of awareness down my spine. Every touch and taste of him has me closer and closer to the edge. I have never been close to orgasm from touching someone before. I love that I can experience this with Rainn.
“Axum,god, your mouth feels so good.”
I hum against him, lapping at the hard buds of his nipples. I draw the dusky buds into my lips, biting down gently before letting go. I blow over the area, enjoying how he trembles beneath me.
Lowering myself further down his body, I lick and nip at him, dragging my tusks over sensitive parts of his skin. His cock twitches in my hand every time I reach a particularly delicate spot. So I tease the area over and over as he cries out, begging me for more.
