I open my mouth to reply but then I feel her hand slide down my chest right down to my cock and I suck in a breath.
“Believe me, I don’t think that will be a problem,” I tell her hoarsely.
“So I’ve been practising,” she says calmly. “That banana trick.”
For a second I don’t follow her but then the cogs turn and click and I remember sister Effie’s lesson in how to suck a man off. I nearly go cross eyed.
“Uh Hortense,” I manage to gabble before she ducks down I feel her breath on my dick and I close my eyes on a groan when her tongue swipes across the top of my shaft in an exploratory lick that nearly has me jolting off the mattress. “Holy hells!” I yell. No way, I can take this, I’m way too close but before I can push her off she takes me into her hot little mouth and sucks and there’s an explosion behind my eyeballs and it’s a good thing I’m a shameless bastard or I would have expired of shame on the spot for coming like a horny youth on his first promise. By the time I’ve stopped bellowing and cursing, my spewing cock jerking and spasming and shooting into her swallowing mouth, I’m a complete wreck.
“Fuck!” I roll onto my side to watch her sit up and drag her forearm across her shiny mouth. “You swallowed,” I groan.
She nods and gives me the shyest smile which shoots right to my chest making it constrict painfully. I yank her onto me and collapse down onto the mattress panting, my heart hammering so loud she must be able to hear it. I stroke her hair, unpinning the swathes and twisted loops until it is all down around her shoulders in a dark brown veil of tousled waves. I run my hands through it.
“That was … amazing,” I praise her dazedly which is nothing but the truth. Yeah, I’ve had it done with more finesse but I’ve never completely lost it like that before. “Next time I’ll last longer.” I kiss the top of her head and then go for her mouth but she jerks back.
“I just … put my mouth…”
That startles a laugh out of me.
“Yeah, I know.”
Not breaking my gaze, she leans forward and kisses my lips which nearly makes my heart leap out of my chest, cos let’s face it, this is the first time she’s ever instigated a kiss. Ridiculous as she’s just blown me, but for some reason I’m reeling over this particular landmark. Yeah, I’ve got it bad. She scoots up and puts her elbows on either side of my head. My eyes are immediately drawn to her breasts which are pressed against my chest and jostling for attention but for some reason my gaze is drawn back to that heart-shaped face of hers. I stroke her back, her silky smooth buttocks. My hands tremble slightly. I’m completely fucking smitten.
“What are we going to do?” she asks softly.
I don’t even miss a beat.
“Live happily ever after,” I tell her and know this is the right answer when the dimple in her cheek appears before her smile.
“What about your duties here?”
“We can split our time between your place and mine.”
She traces her finger across my collar bone, avoiding my eyes.
“I love you Kiril,” she utters quietly.
I swallow,
“Thank the gods,” I wheeze. “My brothers were worried about my sanity not long ago. It was touch and go.”
She snorts.
“I’m serious,” I tell her gravely. “I love you too much. It makes me feel vulnerable. Like you could rip my bleeding heart out of my chest and stomp all over it in your eight inch heels.”
Her eyes go wide.
“I feel the same,” she admits. “After the whole fairytale princess wedding coverage ten years ago… Everyone saying Effie and I were ugly…”
My grip on her tightens making her wince. I relax my hold by a couple of degrees but it takes effort.
“I swore I’d never let anyone get close enough to see how much it hurt,” a fat tear rolls down her cheek and I struggle to sit up.
“I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt you again,” I tell her, rolling her onto her back. I mean it too. “Let’s get married. I’ll buy you the biggest diamond in ten kingdoms. I’m rich by the way. You can have a treasure room here too as well as at the Keep. We can have a big wedding, a huge wedding. Bigger than Cendrillon and Charmian’s if you want.”
She laughs at my effort to distract her.
“No, small is fine. I’d just want my family there. And yours,” she adds as an afterthought.
“Have you seen my brothers?” I ask quirking an eyebrow at her.
“Yes, and you’re the worst of all of them,” she replies warmly making me smile. I can tell she means it as a compliment.
“You’d better believe it my princess,” I tell her, kissing down her throat. “I love you Hortense and I’m gonna spend the rest of my life telling you that.”
She runs her fingers down the side of my face and smiles.
“Yes,” she agrees with a sigh pulling me close. “You will.”
