It wasn’t hard to find my rhythm again. It beat inside me, like the thud of my heart. He beat inside me. This strange bear of a man with biceps bigger than my head, he stared up at me like I was the queen of the world or something.

“Because you’re the queen of my world,” he ground out, making me realise I’d spoken my thoughts aloud. His face reddened, his muscles strained as he reached down and then pressed his thumb against a place that made me explode with pleasure.

I stared at him, completely unable to believe what I was feeling, which was a terrible urge for him to throw me down on the bed and…

“Axe…! Axe…!”

What they’d done before was nothing compared to this. I felt a rush of a feeling so sweet, tears pricked at my eyes. My head was thrown back, my hips working spasmodically to prolong a wave of the purest pleasure that washed through every cell in my body.

“Gods, lass…” he grunted, his hands slapping down on my hips, holding me exactly where I was as his cock jerked in time with my body, a long groan escaping him.

He rolled up then, pulling me into him as tight as I could go, nestling me within his body before his mouth came down on mine.

“I could die tomorrow, and I’d go a happy man,” he rumbled, kissing me again and again before I had a chance to respond.

But at some point we were forced to pull apart, our bodies as sticky as they were when we got in the bath.

“Only thing for it is another wash, but a fast one now, so we don’t catch our chill.”

He stood me in the water, working the soap over in a much more perfunctory way, then himself before rinsing us clean.

“I could almost imagine us man and woman, just married,” he said when we dried off then piled into bed, shivering. His immense body warmed me up pretty quickly, particularly with the way he wrapped himself around me. I was just floating in a sea of pleasure now, so I nestled down into his chest, fingers teasing the sprinkling of hair there.

“So, I’d be Mrs Axe, and you’d be Mr Axe,” I said, my eyes already falling closed, the weight of everything that had happened today crushing me into the bed, into him.

“Mrs Axe… I like the sound of that.” He pressed his mouth to mine and I kissed him back, just once. I didn’t have the energy for anything more.
