He hadn’t even really done anything yet, and Holly was already panting hard and writhing, hips up and back flat on the bed. Artemis was like a genius with his tongue, the same skill that he had at stringing words together into pretty sentences used to drive her to the edge of reason. He started by kissing her clit and then flicking his tongue against it, making it clear that he didn’t intend to stay there for long. There was more to explore, after all. His tongue dipped and lapped at her folds, moving in elegant lines and curves that made her wonder if he was writing his name with his tongue at the very center of her, laying his claim even there.
Heaven knew she didn’t mind. Especially when he pressed his tongue deeper into her, nearly thrusting with it as he sought to bring her pleasure.
And pleasure it was. Heat and thick, heavy sensation blanketed her, and she knew that if he kept that up, she was going to come and come hard.
Dante had hardly ever done this to her, so she was sensitive to the feeling of his tongue on her, and when he licked back up to her clit and grazed his teeth against it, Holly shuddered and cried out, bucking in his hold.
“Shh,” Artemis soothed, lifting his face to show that his lips were shiny and slick with her juices. “Do you trust me?”
“Of course.” It wasn’t even something she had to think about, and Artemis smiled so warmly at her, it was almost like he wasn’t planning on going back to eating her out.
Almost.
But he put his face right back between her legs, devoting all of his focus at the moment to making her feel good.
Holly’s fingers curled in the sheets, needing something to anchor herself as each stroke and dip of that tongue just added to the sensation that was building in her. She wasn’t going to be able to hold on much longer, and from the way Artemis was doubling up his attentions as she bucked and whimpered, he knew it and wanted to her to fall apart.
So she did. She closed her eyes and let that feeling carry her over the edge, let herself get swept up in it, senses dulled to everything else but the shattering of her control and the hot tide rushing through her.
When she could breathe again, she was back flat on the bed and Artemis was up on his knees, clearly hard judging by the tent in his boxers. He held her gaze and licked his lips slowly, eyes half lidded as if he were tasting something divine.
“Did you know,” he said, smiling. “That you’re absolutely lovely when you come?”
Holly blushed. “No. Did you know you’re a huge sap?”
“Yes, actually,” Artemis replied, moving to lie beside her on the bed. And that was hardly fair of him to be so agreeable about it, but Holly was too worn out to really complain.
She settled for sticking her tongue out at him and then jerking back when he snapped his teeth at it, grinning. He was in a good mood, clearly, and it was infectious, making her laugh breathlessly as her heart rate gradually slowed down to normal. “We’re only half done here,” she reminded him. “Don’t get comfortable.”
His chuckle was deep and made her shiver. “Oh, I know,” Artemis replied. He turned his head to look at her for a moment and then his hands were moving again, one of them going up above his head on the pillows and the other sliding down his own chest toward the waistband of his boxers.
There was a damp patch on the light blue fabric from where his cock had leaked, and Holly’s mouth watered with the desire to taste it, but it was clear that Artemis had some kind of plan in mind from the intent look on his face.
His fingers slipped below the waistband, and Holly could see it when they wrapped around the base of his cock and then stroked upwards, making that damp patch spread more.
He pulled his hand back and lifted his hips so that he could push the fabric of his boxers down and then off, kicking them to the floor. And then he was naked, deliciously and gloriously so, reclining on the bed like some kind of god or candidate to be immortalized in marble, all muscled planes and smooth skin and leaking, hard cock.
Holly couldn’t look away as his fingers found their way back around the thick length, stroking upwards slowly and then down even slower, beads of fluid welling at the head. Artemis’ breath stuttered, and a quick glance at his face showed a slight flush to his cheeks and eyes darkened nearly to black from lust. His lips were parted, and his eyebrows were drawn together as if he were concentrating very hard on something. On pleasuring himself and driving Holly insane, clearly.
“Artemis,” she breathed, eyes following the path back down the long line of his body to where he was still fisting his cock, pace never changing from what had to be an agonizing slowness. “Does that feel good?” she asked, a little taken aback by her own boldness.
Those green eyes flicked to hers, and his lips curled in a smile. “Yes,” he replied. “But do you know what would feel better?”
Holly shook her head, struck dumb by just how erotic the sight in front of her was. Even though she’d just come some minutes earlier, she was still wet and from the throbbing between her legs, she was ready for more.
“Being buried inside of you,” Artemis said boldly, not breaking the eye contact. “Feeling you tight and...oh,” he groaned as his hips lifted up a bit, cock sliding through his fist. “Tight and hot and so wet around me. You always get so wet for me, don’t you? Always so eager, so open for me. I’m so grateful.”
She couldn’t decide whether to be touched or turned on, and her body seemed to be settling for both. Holly reached out and tugged on Artemis’ arm, tired of waiting. “Come here,” she said, voice rough with her need. “Want you.”
He nodded and let go of his cock, rolling over and then pushing onto all fours so he could climb over her again. Holly had never felt so safe as she did with him on top of her, and she slid her hands over the muscles of his shoulders, then down his arms and back up again, leaning her head up to silently demand a kiss.
Artemis complied, kissing her deeply and stealing her breath all over again. With one hand he guided his cock into her, and she whimpered against his lips, nails digging into his shoulders as he filled her completely. She’d adjusted to how big he was over the weeks they’d been sleeping together, but just him sliding inside of her, all that length and thickness stretching and filling her had her shaking against him, pleasure already rising.
It was clear that this wasn’t going to be one of those long, drawn out sessions where they kissed leisurely through it and came together. No, they were both too keyed up for that both too needy for each other and completion. It was going to be fast and deep, and when Artemis slid out of her half way, the drag of his cock against her walls making her moan and arch under him, she held on tight.
He didn’t pound into her, but each thrust was deep and she felt it all the way to her toes. Their breaths mingled, lips but a hair’s breadth away from each other, not quite kissing. Both of them panted and moaned, small exhales of “Holly, god,” and “Artemis, please” mixing with the sound of their skin meeting and the bed creaking under them.
Holly’s legs wound around Artemis’ waist, and she drew him in even deeper, holding onto him and lifting her hips into each inward motion as the pleasure rose and fell in undulating waves that only grew in intensity as they moved together.
From Artemis’ ragged breathing, she could tell that he wasn’t too far from his orgasm, and she clenched and tightened around his cock inside of her, enjoying the way it made him swear hotly and push in even harder on the next stroke.
“Holly,” he groaned. “Can’t...so close.”
“Come on,” Holly panted, nails in his skin, body singing with how close she was to her on release. “Come for me, Artemis. Please.”
He pressed his forehead to hers, back bowed and a growl on his lips as he came, and Holly could feel the shudders of pleasure that wracked his frame as the pleasure overtook him. It was such a sight to behold. Artemis falling apart in a way that wasn’t really about a loss of control, but a willing surrender of it.
She wasn’t far behind either. As always, the
thought that she was capable of making him feel that good was enough to sweep her up and over, and she cried out his name as she trembled and shook and came.
It took them both several minutes to be able to move from their positions, and Holly unlocked her legs from around Artemis’ waist, wincing when her muscles protested the movement. Artemis grimaced at the mess and stretched before heading, still delightfully naked, to the bathroom to fetch a damp cloth and a glass of water for them to share.
He cleaned her up and then himself and then settled back into bed so they could pass the water back and forth between the two of them.
It wasn’t terribly late yet, but as they had a diner to run in the morning, both of them were yawning and by an unspoken agreement, the light was turned off and they both settled in to sleep.
Artemis wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her back against his chest protectively, and Holly laughed. “You’re such a dragon. Sleeping on top of your horde.”
“If I slept on top of you, my treasure, you’d probably suffocate. You’re such a little thing, after all.”
She was too worn out and sated to do more than grumble at that. “I’m not little, you’re just massive.” All she got in response was a sleepy chuckle, and Holly smiled into her pillow, perfectly pleased with being hoarded like she was actually made of gold.
