Chapter Nineteen

Selena opened the bedroom door silently.

Haldor stood at the window, his back to her, looking down at the city from her apartment on the 287th floor. He’d tossed his fur cloak on a chair and wore only a pair of linen trousers. His chest was bare, as were his powerful arms, except for the wide gold cuffs on his wrists gleaming in the moonlight that streamed through the window.

He hadn’t been here before. In her sterile white living room, he loomed even larger than he had at the clinic. Or on Skhul, where she’d seen the other side of him. The fierce warrior ready to put to death the monster who’d threatened her life.

The keen senses he’d honed as a hunter were at work even here. Though she hadn’t made a sound, he turned. The look in his eyes when he saw her made her catch her breath. Dark. Intense. Raw.

Naked, she crossed the room, dropped to her knees in front of him. Said the words she’d planned to say the day she was kidnapped. The ones she’d rehearsed over and over for the last three weeks sitting by his side for hours while she kept him in sleep mode again to repair the damage he’d done to his newly transplanted organs when he risked his life crossing the galaxy to save her.

Selena looked up at him. “Please, my lord, I hunger for you. Will you fuck me? Spread the lips of my pussy apart and let me feel the heat of your cock. Then slowly slide it inside me, fill me. Inch by inch.”

He gave a low growl from deep in his chest. Then he reached down and grabbed both her arms. Pulled her to her feet and captured her lips in a kiss.

His mouth claimed hers. Desperate. Ravenous. Selena threw her arms around his neck. As though he couldn’t bear to break contact, he swept her into his arms, still kissing her, and carried her into the bedroom.

He laid her on the bed. Eyes locked on hers, he untied his linen trousers and let them fall. His cock jutted out, thick and hard. Selena let her gaze travel down his body and ran her tongue over her lips.

Haldor wrapped one hand around his cock, knelt on the bed, and brought it to her mouth. Staring into his eyes, she licked a drop of pre-cum from the tip then drew the head into her mouth and swirled her tongue around it.

He pulled away and climbed over her, spreading her legs apart with his knees. His long hair brushing her skin sent delicious little shivers rippling through her as he bent his head and licked her breast. When he drew the nipple into his mouth and sucked, a bolt of raw lust rocketed straight to her core. She moaned, and he transferred his attention to her other nipple, sucking and biting until it was swollen and aching.

He tilted her head up so she could watch and moved down her body. Kissing, licking, all the while coming closer to her pussy. When his thumbs spread the folds at the apex of her thighs apart, she felt a gush of wetness inside even before his tongue flicked over her clit.

He licked her with the flat of his tongue then rammed it into her pussy before moving back up to suck the throbbing bud the way he’d sucked her nipple. Selena moaned and thrashed, fisted her hands in his hair. Haldor rolled over, took her with him. Held her in place over his face, thighs wedged apart by his massive shoulders, while he sucked and licked. She let out a wild cry and exploded.

He shifted again, laid her on her back. Slid up and held his body over hers with those powerful arms, his cock pressed between her legs. The orgasm had left her frantic and needy. Clit swollen and throbbing, pussy dripping, empty, and aching to be filled.

Haldor locked eyes with her again and rocked his hips forward. Selena gasped. Hot. So very hot. And so much bigger than the fingers he’d teased her with in the past. Her heart thudded against her ribs. He pumped his hips again, and she opened her mouth. Ready to tell him no. She’d been wrong. It was too much. She couldn’t take it.

He bent his head and kissed her. Aroused her, seduced her, teased her with his tongue. She forgot her fear, and her body relaxed, opened to him. He slid in deeper.

Selena gasped. More. She wanted more. Needed more. She dug her heels into the bed and ground herself against him. Haldor filled her need and his own, took them higher and higher, pounding into her with a savage rhythm. Selena cried out. First his name then wordless, frantic cries that became one unending scream. Left her limp and shuddering in his arms.

That’s when he began again. Selena shook her head. She couldn’t take any more. “No no no…oh oh yesss.”

Hours later, she lay quietly, watching his chest rise and fall as he slept. She’d spent so many nights this way over the past few months. But tonight she didn’t have to sit in a chair by his bedside. Tonight, she could lie beside him. Feel the texture of his skin against hers as she nestled her head on his chest, the warmth of his breath on her cheek.

Selena rolled over and curled her body against his. He’d be leaving soon. Going back to Gadolinium. This time it would be even harder to let him go. Now, she knew what love was. Not just what they’d shared tonight, although that was incredible. Her pussy was sore from the pounding he’d given her, but she reveled in the sensation. She’d begged him for it. Shamelessly, that third time.

She’d learned there was more to love than that, wonderful as it was. Love was the way her heart gave a little leap when he caught her eye and smiled at her across a room. The way her spirits lifted at the sound of his laughter echoing down the halls in the clinic. The way she felt safe and cherished every time he held her in his arms.

She’d healed him a second time, taken more risks to save him. But it was worth it. He’d go back to his people strong and healthy, a proud warrior still. She’d have done anything for him.

Selena thought back to the stories David and James and Mia had told her. How he’d taken on the entire ministry for her. Is it possible he feels the same way? Could he love me too?

These feelings were all so new. Confusing, even a little frightening. Maybe I don’t have to lose Haldor. What if I ask him to stay?

As soon as the thought popped into her head, Selena put it aside. She could never do that – because she loved him. Haldor would be miserable on Earth. Without his Viking brothers, his hunting trips in the vast forests, his feasts of roast boar and honey mead. She understood now what love was. Love meant putting the needs of your loved one before your own. And because she loved him, she had to let him go.

The tears came. A trickle at first, but soon her shoulders shook with the effort of holding back the sobs.

Haldor’s arms tightened around her. “What is it?” he asked, his voice heavy with sleep. “What’s wrong?”

She couldn’t answer. Simply buried her face in his chest and let go, sobbing wildly. He held her close, let her cry it out. Made soothing noises and stroked her hair. Finally, she swiped the back of her hand across her eyes and raised her head.
