A tear slipped down Dawn’s cheek as she threw her arms around Cree’s neck and kissed him with a joy she had never experienced in her life.
He returned her enthusiasm deepening the kiss and the next thing they knew they were striping each other bare and falling down on the bed together. Their passion could not be contained; they were hungry for each other and nothing could stop them from feeding it. And feeding it they did. His hands explored her with a startling eagerness that had her body bowing at his every touch. And when his mouth followed suit she thought she would leap off the bed, it felt so deliciously and wonderfully wicked.
“I want to linger and enjoy,” he whispered harshly in her ear but my need is too great.”
She pressed one finger to his arm agreeing and he quickly grabbed her legs and flung them over his shoulders as he positioned himself between them and drove into her with a forceful thrust that had her arching up to meet his demand.
He continued driving into her hard and she enjoyed every blessed minute of it. It didn’t take long for their passion to build to an explosive climax, and Cree made certain it was one she would never forget. His hand reached out and teased the tiny pulsating nub and she nearly bolted off the bed, but his strong body and solid thrusts held her firm.
She came so hard that she didn’t stop tapping his arm over and over and over and finally when she climaxed for a second time he joined her and exploded in a blinding fury that left him so spent that he collapsed on top of her.
Dawn soon realized that his weight did not allow her to breath and she pushed at his solid muscle. Her attempts grew a bit more frantic when he didn’t respond until he finally rose up off her. She caught a quick breath followed by several more.
“Are you all right?” he asked anxiously.
She took a few more deep breathes and nodded.
“Damn, I came so hard I spent all my strength.”
Dawn smiled wide.
“Pleased with that are you?” he asked tweaking her nose as he moved off her, though grabbed her around the waist to lie and placed her alongside him.
She nodded vigorously.
“So am I,” he admitted though in a whisper, as if he didn’t want anyone to hear. “From this moment on I refuse to do without you in my bed. You will be moved to my room in the keep. And as soon as all the documents are signed we will be wed.” He tweaked her nose again. “That is if you’ll have me.”
She bolted up beside him. Was he truly giving her a choice? It was the very question she gestured him.
“Yes, I am asking you if you wish to wed me. I want you as my willing wife, not a prisoner or mistress forced to submit to me but as a woman who loves me and wants to wed me, bear my children and grow old with me.”
She nodded vigorously before he even finished.
“That eager are you?”
She smiled softly, shaking her head and pressed her hand to her heart and then pressed it to his heart holding it there.
He rested his hand over hers. “Love me that much do you?”
She slipped her hand from beneath his and stretched her hands wide demonstrating that her love for him was endless.
He grabbed her around the waist and lifted her up and brought her down to rest over the length of him. His hands went to squeeze her buttocks playfully and his kiss teased. “Damn it, woman, I love you more than I ever thought possible.” He growled low after nuzzling her neck. “You’re mine, you belong to me, and I’ll never let you go.”
His words sent a tingle to her for the words spoke of his love just as deeply as if he had said I love you and she gestured the same to him. She jabbed his chest, poked her own, and grabbed his hand to lock her fingers with him letting him know that he belonged to her and she would never let him go.
He laughed softly. “Looks as if we’re stuck with each other.”
She nodded and kissed him gently, though he responded with more fervor.
After a few minutes of a kiss that titillated them both senseless he pulled away and said through bated breath, “Damn, I’m hard for you already and we’ve only finished making love.”
She reached down and discovered just how hard he was and with a grin she rose up over him and with a silent sigh of pleasure lowered herself onto him. He groaned with anticipation and in no time they were lost in passion that neither of them hurried to abate.
