He’s ready for more. And so am I…
CHAPTER NINETEEN
LILY
Ryko squeezes my bottom as he walks at a leisurely pace, which I appreciate. I don’t want my first time with him to be rushed. It’s bad enough outside forces have pushed up the timeline.
His lower lip curls, wantonly flashing enough tusk to make my body hum.
I can’t help but smile. This male knows how to distract me.
“Do that again,” I say.
This time, when he curls his lip, I swipe my tongue over a tusk.
He groans, and pinches my ass, those intense green eyes never leaving me.
I’ve missed his touches, his kisses, and especially the way he looks at me. As if he needs me more than the air he breathes.
“I have to warn you. These weeks apart have made me kind of needy,” I confess.
“Choose your words carefully, female. I fall asleep each night with a hard cock as I envision you and your warm mouth. I planto claim every part of you, but if you overexcite me, I may not be gentle.”
“Then don’t be.”
His ridges hitch in question.
“Be you,” I say softly, then bite my lip. “With all that entails.”
My warrior sets me down at the entrance to a cave deep in the forest. His eyes travel down me before he captures my mouth.
His tongue, smooth and as strong as the male himself, teases me before seizing control. As Ryko’s lips glide down my neck, he cups my swells and sucks on a very hard nipple through the fabric. That does things to me. Stirring unexpected urges, needs… desires.
I stroke his cock through his loincloth, shocked at how hard he is.
“Keep touching me,” he purrs. Not one of his usual growls, which I’ve come to realize have many meanings beyond merely showing displeasure. Much more. This purring... It’s almost hypnotic. I can’t resist Ryko. I don’twantto resist him anymore.
“You are mine,” he growls, thrusting his cock, still covered by his loin cloth, against my hand.
His breathing increases and his head tips back, the heavily muscled cords of his throat flexing. Seductive, sensuous.
He’s breaking… at my touch. Because ofme.
Suddenly, Ryko’s hand slams over mine, stopping me from touching him. Male musk fills my nostrils as he leans his head in the crook of my neck.
“You excite me too fast. Too easily. We will do this right. Through risha, though with only the gods to witness.”
I don’t fully understand what he’s talking about, but I don’t care as his hands caress my ribs, moving higher with each stroke. My breath catches as two fingers slip under my bra and the pad of a callused thumb glides over my hard nipple. I arch my back, offering myself to him.
Ryko slides his tusks along my throat, sending shivers through me. I’ve missed this. I’ve missedhim.
One simple touch and I’m his.
With his mouth on mine and his hands holding me tight to him, he backs me into the cave. Shadows swallow the daylight, but I’m not scared. How can I be? I’m with Ryko, a male I trust with my life.
I reach down and untie the straps to his leather loincloth. The covering falls to the ground and his impressive cock, hard as iron, brushes against my hand.
Despite my excitement and good intentions, I freeze up, thrown back to that one horrible night in my past.
