“I need you Em, now.” I moved to prep him only to have him stop me. “No. I want to feel everything.” He pulled his legs to his chest, opening himself as much as he could.
“Are-are you sure?” Hurting Caro wasn’t a choice I’d ever willingly make.
“Aye.”
With the head of my cock at his entrance, I silently prayed to the Goddess to not let me mess this up. Screwing up a tender culmination such as this was a memory I’d rather not have. I glanced up at my mate, Caro’s face showed no pain as I continued to press inside until I was as deep as I could go. I swear, I held my breath the entire time.
“Breathe, Emerson,” Caro whispered. “You’re right where I need you.”
Okay, okay. I can do this.
I want to do this.
More importantly, the man I loved asked me to.
Caro pulled me down into another kiss and whispered against my lips, “I love you, Emerson.”
Tears filled my eyes. The intensity of the moment hit me hard. “I love you, too.”
“Now, move.” I almost laughed, but was so happy to see his beautiful smile again. It edged me forward, pushed me to make love to my mate the best I could. I may’ve stumbled a time or two, but for the most part we were perfectly in sync. Two hearts beating as one until we reached the final apex.
He was so tight. If I felt anything like this, gripping his cock in a tight vise, as he was mine, it was no wonder he enjoyed making love to me as much as he did. Though these thoughts were doing nothing more than pushing me right to the edge. I seriously couldn’t take much more.
Stroke yourself, mate, I can’t hold off much longer.
Hell, I couldn’t even get the words out. Saying it through our connection was the only way. With my eyes darting between his hand rapidly stroking his cock and the throes of ecstasy on his face, that was it for me.
I thrust inside him as deep as I could and my release hit, simultaneously sending Caro over the edge right along with me. The throbbing of his muscles around my cock as he came drew my release out longer than it ever had been before. By the time we’d both finished, I collapsed atop him in a sweaty, panting mess.
Caro pressed his lips to the top of my head. “Thank you, my love. I really needed that.”
“No need to ever thank me. Whatever I have to give will always be yours.”
“And I, likewise.” Though I had nothing more than love, it was his for eternity.
We lay there for as long as we could. Before we dozed off, Caro scooped me up and carried me into the shower. So much care and detail went into his washing me. Insisting that it was his turn to take care of me as I had him. Every inch of skin was cleaned, and my scalp was thoroughly massaged as he washed my hair. After he dried me, he carried me back to bed and curled up around me. My big spoon gently cradled my belly as we drifted off.
Though when I woke the next morning, the bed beside me was empty. While I knew where he was, my nerves ran on high. They’d not calm until he was back by my side.
Everything okay, mate?
Yes, just waiting for you to get home.
Will be there as soon as I can. Breakfast is in the oven warming for you.
Off on a fact-finding mission yet he still worries about me.
How did I get so lucky?
Thank you, please be careful.
Always.
After I ate, I kept myself busy readying the horde to house more of the archives. Some documents and tomes we would place in the library, but there were a few more pieces I wanted to re-read. If I recalled correctly, they may have more answers to the current climate than I’d originally thought.
Mate, Baird and his crew are on their way with the archives. Do not lift anything.
I rolled my eyes.
