Page 40 of A Baron of Bonds
Her fingers grazed over my stomach as her kiss lay soft and gentle on the underside of me, hard and ready for whatever kind of pleasure she was going to put me through again.
I kept my eyes closed and waited to see which Karus she’d bring.
Coy and slow?
Rough and fast?
Ah, it was languid and teasing this morning, I realized, as she flattened her tongue and licked all the way up only to lazily kiss the top of what I wished I could slip into her as uninhibited as I did the night before.
“Fuck,” I breathed, which only led to some new torturous shape of her tongue before she slipped all of me into her mouth.
I gathered her hair in my left hand, our rights entwined over my stomach while I kept it out of her face as she worked, taking her sweet, sweet time as payback for what I’d put her though last night.
I’d never seen her so shaken, and I’d made it a new goal in life to see that a few dozen times more.
Somewhere in the depths of my mind, where logic was locked behind a fortified door, I wondered if we actually had time for this.
Knowing her, it was probable she knew we didn’t, which made the precarious way she’d bring me to an edge before backing off and grinning up at me all the more exciting.
“If you keep this up, we’ll be in even more trouble.”
She wrapped her free hand around me and sweetly kissed what she slowly stroked, her eyes watching me in a challenge.
“Come here,” I tugged on our bound hands with only the thought of pulling her on top of me to lose ourselves in rapture together.
“No, no, Baron Revich,” she mumbled with the same lips that I would have moaning in a moment if it was up to me. “We’ve had no tea and are surely late to this morning’s chastisements already.”
I sighed as she squeezed our bound hands together and began her confident strokes again. “At least bring yourself up here to me. Remember what we did on the top floor of—” I sucked a breath through my teeth, feeling the warmth of her wet mouth take all of me in again. “Of Viridis?”
I heard her muffled laugh as I slipped out of her mouth while she lazily stroked me up and down. “I do remember that. And if my memory is correct, you were supposed to be helping me research the Baron who discovered the use of rhyzolm.”
“I don’t care what I was supposed to be doing or what we should be doing now, just come here.” I yanked on our hands again, and she giggled as I successfully pulled her up to my chest. I rose slightly to catch her mouth and kiss her deeply. I rolled my tongue delicately across hers, giving her a glimpse of what exactly I’d like to do next.
She pulled away, laughing and resuming her strokes, this time faster and with a tighter grip. “I’m just giving you what you deserve, Revich.”
I think I might have actually growled as I grabbed her neck, bringing her mouth back to mine. She pushed me back down onto the bed and left my lips quickly, her mouth otherwise occupied in my final release.
I relaxed, breathing heavy, still exhausted from the night before. She kissed her way up my stomach and chest, settling her head on my skin.
“In a moment, Karus, I plan to return the favor.”
She exhaled heavily in a moan and stretched her body against mine. “I’m quite sore, actually. I think you’ve done enough for the next twelve hours.”
I stroked her cheek and closed my eyes. “In twelve hours, then.”
She laughed and made her way up to my chest, kissing my neck, then jaw and cheek, before settling her lips across mine.
The knock came first, followed by a sharp, “Baron Revich of Felgren.” I sat up quickly, startled by the intrusion.
“What is it?” I called, Karus coming up with me.
“Your presence with Karus of Felgren is requested in thirty minute’s time in the Queen’s study.”
I raised a brow at Karus and she grimaced. I had not been taken to the Queen’s personal study yet and could not predict if it was a good sign or bad.
“We will be there in thirty minutes,” I called, grazing a finger along Karus’s jaw. Her skin was soft and pale, smooth except for the raised freckles that occasionally littered her face and neck.
We heard the man outside our door clear his throat and then continue, “I am to escort you both to her study.”
