He slid his hands down her arms to her waist. Without breaking their kiss, he gently rolled her over until he was on top. He reached down between her legs, slid one finger through the curls, and began to stroke her. Her soft moan filled the air, and she rocked her hips.
“Ross,” she breathed.
Ross pulled away and kissed her shoulder. He pressed against her while she rocked, and he continued exploring her body with his mouth. He paused at her taut nipples. They were too succulent to resist.
He rolled the tip of his tongue over her nipple, moved his head in a circular motion, and continued to tease her until she reached up and threaded her hands through his hair. She thrust her breast against his mouth, and he sucked deeply on the sensitive pebble.
“More, oh yes, more, Ross,” she begged.
He released her nipple and did the same to the other. She raised her restless legs as an invitation to enter her. He knew that he wouldn’t last long once they came together. He could already feel pre-cum beading on the head of his cock.
Sliding down her body, he gripped her thighs and pulled her legs open. Her moan of desire told him that this was probably something that she really enjoyed. He wickedly smiled in delight. He was going to be merciless.
Ross gently parted her labia and exposed Gem’s clit to his view. Bending forward, he blew a warm breath over the sensitive nub before he buried his face against her. Her loud cry drove him on. He tightened his hold on her thighs when she began to thrash in an attempt to escape the intense pleasure he was creating with his tongue and teeth. He continued to caress the sensitive nub of her womanhood until he felt her shaking with uncontrollable need.
She arched backward and stiffened when he drove her over the precipice. She came hard, her gasping breaths mixed with her sobs, and she twisted her fingers in the fabric of the bedspread. The warm liquid of her orgasm washed over his tongue.
He timed it perfectly, waiting until she was over the most intense part of her orgasm but not too sensitive to come again. Rising up over her, he grabbed his throbbing cock and entered her pulsing depths. Gritting his teeth, he pushed deeper.
She released the covers and grabbed his forearms when he buried himself as deep as he could. He gave her a few seconds to adjust before he began moving. She was tight. The heat and moisture from her orgasm wrapped around his cock, coating it.
Sweat beaded on his brow as he fought to maintain control. He wanted to bring her to another release, but he wasn’t sure he could hold out. He pumped his hips faster and deeper until it felt like he was touching her womb.
“Oh, Goddess!” she gasped, digging her fingers into his arms as she came again.
The clenching muscles from her orgasm gripped his engorged cock, resisting his attempts to pull out, and it drove him over the edge. He threw his head back, and a hoarse, guttural cry ripped from his throat as he came. The muscles in his neck and shoulders bulged at the intense pleasure igniting his blood, and his seed pulsed deep inside her.
Ross’s arms trembled. His breathing was harsh, a reflection of the intensity of his release. He carefully lowered himself over Gem and slid his arms under her. Pressing his lips against her damp shoulder, he closed his eyes and embraced the feelings coursing through his body. His cock continued to react to her pulsing core.
A silent groan swept through his mind when he realized something else. He was buried balls deep inside her, had just had the most amazing orgasm, and he wasn’t wearing any protection, again. He didn’t know if Gem was on some kind of magical birth control, but if she wasn’t, then he needed to reassure her that he was there for whatever happened. He was there for the long term.
“Ross,” she started to say.
“Gem,” he said at the same time.
“You first,” she replied, kissing his shoulder.
He leaned up on his elbows and looked down into her eyes. He wanted her to know that he was serious – that they were together forever as far as he was concerned.
“I… We didn’t use any type of contraceptive – this time or the last. I don’t know if you are on anything,” he said.
“I’m not,” she softly replied.
“I want you to know that if anything happens – if you – if we – if there is a baby…. I want you to know that I’ll be there, every step of the way. I love you and I’ll love our baby,” he promised.
Tears filled her eyes, and she chuckled. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down. He held her tightly, feeling her shake as she cried. Hell if he didn’t make a mess of things even when he was trying to do the right thing.
“Ross,” she sniffed.
“Yes, love,” he murmured, kissing her neck.
“I’m glad you feel that way because you are going to be a wonderful husband and father,” she whispered.
It took a second for her meaning to sink in. It was only when she took one of his hands and guided it to her stomach that he realized what she meant. He rolled off of her and sat up. He looked down at their joined hands as they covered her stomach before he gazed at her flushed, tear-stained face.
“Yes – I will be,” he promised, bending over and capturing her lips.

The Legend
The legend of the Seven Kingdoms says their world was created after a fight between the Goddess and her mate. She divided the world into two realms and now she rules over one while leaving her mate to rule over the other. The Goddess first created the elements of earth, wind, fire, water and sky. Then she created the Elementals to control them and the Isle of the Elementals. The Elementals were given the Gem of Power.
The Dragons were next, born of the fire of love that burned in her heart for all her creatures. She gifted them the Dragon’s Heart, a red di
amond containing a piece of her heart. It holds the essence of the dragons’ being and allows them to shift.
The Sea People were given the Eyes of the Sea Serpent. The Orb of Eternal Light was given to Isle of Magic.
The Giants were given the Tree of Life. The Cauldron of Spirits was given to the Pirates. The Monsters were given the Goddess’ Mirror.
Each gift contains a piece of the Goddess. Whoever controls all the gifts, containing their pieces of the Goddess, could then control the Goddess. If one piece were to be destroyed, it would be a mortal wound to the Goddess and mean the death of their world.
The Kingdoms will continue to reign in peace and harmony as long as the Goddess’ gifts are never used by the Isles against each other. Should they ever do so, they would all cease to exist.
