She could see in his eyes the answer: there was no guarantee he wouldn't lose himself to a wave of lust-crazed madness, but after spending the last while talking with him before they got their hands on each other, she wanted to believe he would take good care of her.
"I won't," he whispered against her mouth, his tongue darting out to taste her lips. "For you, I'll stay in control, no matter how hard it is."
"Then I'm ready. I ... I trust you."
Lily's face burned with the admittance, but right now, the truth was more important than her embarrassment. With a satisfied smile, Theo dipped down to kiss her one more time, sucking on her lips before moving away to slip off his pants. His thick cock flopped out, and Lily swallowed at the sight of it. He washuge, and as Theo stroked himself, his fingers could barely grip his enormous girth.
Yet Lily's mouth watered at the sight of it. She knew what kind of pleasure a cock like that would bring.
Oh so carefully, Theo lowered himself down to her, slipping the nightgown down her thighs and to the floor. Together, they shuffled back into the middle of the bed, where Theo's mouth found the nape of her neck, sucking gently while his hips positioned against hers, and his cock drove between her thighs, searching for her entrance.
Lily closed her eyes, releasing an eager sigh when his tip pried the opening between her folds, pushing gently into her tightness. She slowly stretched open to welcome his size. Clasping his hands around Lily's hips, he tilted her up to ease his entry, but regardless of how gentle and slow he was, there was a hint of pain beneath the pleasure as he stretched her far beyond what she was used to. Lily bit back a cry as he filled her completely, both of them stilling as they adjusted to the new sensation.
Theo moaned deep in his throat. "You're so tight," he growled. "You're not a virgin, are you?"
Despite the pleasure-pain rocketing through her insides, Lily managed a laugh. "Far from it, darling, but I bet every woman feels like a virgin with a cock like yours."
Lily's body shook with pleasure at the feeling of being filled by him. She couldn't control herself anymore. She shifted herself slightly, just to feel him moving, only a little bit, inside her. His length was rooted deep inside her, pushed right to the base, and she was amazed that she could take so much of that thick cock easily ...
Theo's eyes rolled back in his skull, and he let out a guttural moan.
"I wouldn't know," he rasped. "Besides, all I can think about right now is you. You're so fucking beautiful ... your body is so perfect. I could fuck you all day."
Gradually, Theo pulled out again, allowing her the time to adjust before picking up the pace and finding a slow, comfortable rhythm for them both. They rocked back and forth together, and pleasure shot through her veins like wildfire in a drought-stricken forest. She hadn't known how badly she needed to be with a man until Theo. Each movement was instinctual, primed by a need so fierce and desperate she couldn't put a name to it. All there was the need, the fire that burned so bright inside them both, where once, they'd both been so cold and alone.
Theo found just the right angle to drive them both wild with pleasure. They moved together until Lily was so close to the edge that it was all she could do to hold on for dear life. He rocked into her, faster and harder until they both reached the precipice of rapture together. There, they teetered on the edge of ecstasy, riding the crescendo together until they finally crashed into sweet oblivion.
As the waves of their orgasm slammed into them, Lily felt like she had found something that had been missing within herself, though she was far too exhausted, too spent to shape that realization into words, let alone comprehend what it might mean.
They rocked in unison as they lost themselves in the throes of pleasure. Lily knew that this night would change everything—but it was a wondrous feeling to let go completely and give herself over to the intense sensations coursing through every nerve ending in her body.
Soon they were lying side by side on the soft bed, sweat-slick bodies tangled in each other. Steady pants came from both of their worn-out lungs, and Lily could barely keep her eyes open anymore. Theo turned over onto his side to face her, and he threaded his fingers through her hair, the slow, simple gesture setting her at ease. Finally, her eyes fluttered closed.
"There," Theo murmured. "That wasn't so bad, was it?"
"Mmm, was good," she moaned. Every nerve still felt electrified and fried from too much sensation all at once. All of it good.
She wasn't supposed to feel this good, and though she was a little sore from his size, she felt a little emptier, a little less whole, when he wasn't inside her anymore.
Theo chuckled and kissed the tops of her eyelids. "Go to sleep, my queen. You've fulfilled your duty tonight."
And just like that, Lily released one last, contented sigh, and she was fast asleep, tossed right into the abyss of sleep, with Theo by her side.
Chapter 6 - Theo
A bang and then a crash came from outside the tree. Theo opened his eyes to find that the door to the chamber he was sharing with Lily had already been opened, and four figures had swarmed into the room. Two were already on Lily's side of the bed, a hand clamped over her mouth to muffle her screams as they dragged her naked body from the bed.
It was hard to see who their attackers were in the darkness, their shifting, quick forms difficult to pin down even with Theo's wolf senses active. He could tell from their shapes that they were goblins, but why were they here?
Traitors? Had the rebellion happened already, and they were here to end his reign before it truly began?
But the second they touched Lily, rage unlike anything he'd ever felt before pulsed through him like a rabid heartbeat.
"Don't you fucking touch her!" Theo growled, pulling at the threads of his wolf soul deep inside him and pulling it out into the open. Just like that, he shifted into a wolf and sprang at their attackers.
He ripped the goblin nearest to him to pieces, the one who tried to grab Theo and stop him from shifting. The second one tossed a net at Theo, but he jumped out of the way, and the heavy rope landed on the bed instead. Theo's mind was still groggy from the alcohol, but it was the sex he was truly drunk on. And Lily. He couldn't let them take her.
His wife. Even if he didn't love her, she was important to him and his reign.
