Kai knelt on the edge of the bed between her legs; their nakedness concealed by delicate fabric covering Eloise’s breasts and sex, he needed to see her, all of her. The low growl that escaped him could not have been contained if he’d tried. Moving his hand from his cock, his fingertips moved to her slender thighs. She blushed when fingers slipped higher, her head fell to the side, as she looked away.
‘Look at me.’
She reluctantly turned her head to his husky command.
‘It’s just us here.’
Breathing harder when his hands continued up towards her sex, she gasped when fingers slid beneath her linen undergarment. She watched his eyes widen, bright green orbs slowly moving from her face to study her body. Her chest expanded as his fingers disappeared beneath her garment. Turning his hand over, he bunched the linen together and tugged hard, ripping the ribbons holding it in place before dropping it to the floor. Eloise’s cry made his cock twitch; her throaty gasp caused a carnal noise to rumble up from deep inside. Kai’s eyes were drawn between her legs and she moved to cover herself, but his hands reached and pushed them away quickly.
‘You’re beautiful, I want to see you.’
Tearing at the remaining material covering her breasts, exposed nipples peaked and caught his attention instantly. Kai licked his lips and urged to feel them against his tongue. Heat swept across his skin and his nerve endings tingled. Leaning over Eloise, he held her fast as he pulled her hands over her head. A wave of sensuality swept through Eloise under the mass of muscle and tanned skin as he hovered over her body and caused her soft flesh to tremble as her breathing labored. She pressed her body up to meet his, to touch that part of him that made her tingle between her legs when she’d felt it harden earlier that day in the pool.
Kai’s head bent low and his lips grazed across hers before taking her mouth in an all-consuming kiss. It wasn’t enough his tongue filled her mouth. Her body craved a touch she’d never had, and with Kai’s body moving against hers, she seemed to know and understand what she wanted. Aware of her growing need, Kai broke the kiss and caressed her tingling flesh with his lips and tongue, leaving feather-light kisses across her jaw and down her neck. His lips added more pressure as he moved lower to her supple breasts. He licked one nipple, and swiftly moving to the other, sucked it into his mouth. Eloise gasped and arched her back, wanting more. Expertly swirling his tongue around the pebbled skin, Kai sucked her erect bud into his mouth.
‘Kai…’ She moaned his name, her eyes closed in euphoria.
Kai’s straining cock flexed and his balls clenched at hearing her soft whimpers. Puckering his lips around the hardening nipple, he sucked it harder, with each gasp from Eloise’s soft lips, urging him on. His skin burned and he felt the heat build inside his core.
He fought for control and edged down her body, lowering his hips away from hers to remove the temptation. He could easily sink his cock into her and still the burning need, but he wanted to make her first time memorable. Continuing to nip and suckle her tender skin he cupped her breasts with large hands, thus releasing her hands, enabling her to tangle her fingers in his silky hair. Thumbs and fingers pinched her already swollen nipples where he’d sucked and licked them tender; she gasped and pulled at his hair, her fingers tightened in his soft tresses, causing him to hiss. His cock, pulsating and ready to burst, plagued at him to do something, but he couldn’t take her when he was so hungry.
‘Eloise.’ Kai’s guttural voice vibrated against her skin, making her shiver. He climbed back up her body and stared at her with fiery need in his eyes.
‘Make a storm for me…’ His lips pressed softly against hers, ‘Bring the rain…’ Sliding his tongue into her mouth briefly, he teased her.
‘Lightning and thunder…bring it for me Eloise.’
He pushed his arms beneath her shoulders and slanted his mouth over hers, his tongue stroking deep into her mouth. She wanted to hold it and keep it there. Sucking on it and claiming it, she didn’t want him to pull away. Kai’s hips moved against hers, his heavy cock now resting between her thighs could easily slide into her, but he didn’t want to hurt her with his all consuming passion.
Seeing the hunger in his intense eyes, Eloise couldn’t refuse him anything. If he wanted a storm, she’d give him one.
‘I’ll make you a storm Kai.’ She whispered.
His handsome face gazed down at her, she could sense his need to take her, and so she released his soft hair and pushed him gently forward.
‘I need to use my hands, sit up.’
Kai pushed away from the bed and knelt up. He was still nestled between her legs and rested his hands on her thighs while he watched her. Closing her eyes and taking a few deep breaths, her hands hovered above her body in balled fists. Within moments a gathering breeze caught the open doors onto the terrace and Kai started to grin. She was amazingly enticing and he’d be insane to let her go.
Suddenly opening her eyes and hearing the wind start to howl outside, Eloise smiled as she watched Kai’s head fall back with closed eyes. She watched his chest expand and touched her fingers to his abs and ran them lower over his belly. She could see the birthmarks hidden among soft hairs below his navel, but continued running her finger lower to the mass of golden curls at the base of his cock.
Grabbing her hands, Kai paused, feeling his breathing increase, he moved backwards and slid off the bed. Crouching low and spreading her legs apart he kissed his way up her inner thigh. Eloise watched in stunned silence and the higher he kissed, the wider her mouth gaped.
‘Kai!’
‘Shh…’ His warm breath fell against her flesh and made her shudder.
‘Be still.’
He released her hands and moved his own down between her thighs. Sliding his thumbs over her outer lips his mouth covered her wet folds.
Eloise moaned loudly. Feeling his tongue lapping at her, she had no control over her body and arching against him, her hips greeted his tongue with each stroke. Eloise, unable to stop grinding herself against Kai’s tongue and sensual mouth, drove her fingers into his hair, tangling them in golden locks, pulling him against her.
Unbelievably aroused, Kai drowned in her excitement as her essence flooded his senses. Covering her with his mouth and sucking gently, his soft lips teased her mercilessly. Darting his tongue against her entrance, he circled the soft pad of his thumb over the sensitive, hooded nub. Wet, and sighing heavily beneath his tongue, Eloise’s ragged breathing increased and within moments her core erupted at her first orgasm. Sending shudders through her body, her back curved in a soft arch as her hips pressed against his mouth in a final rapture.
With a final swipe of his tongue, he gave her one last slow lick then kissed up her lower belly and higher. When he reached her neck his mouth found hers, she could taste her own arousal on his tongue.
The rain had started to fall and the first rumble of thunder growled overhead. Kai braced a hand by her waist and moved his other to the side of her head while he nudged her thighs wider with his. He stared at her flushed cheeks and listened to her gentle breaths as she calmed from her excited state. Eloise brushed his hair from around his face and pressed her thumb against his wet lips. A loud clap of thunder broached above them, together with a flash of light that brightened the room for a brief moment. The doors rattled as the wind gathered it’s pace and Eloise excited laugh caused him to grin.
‘For you.’ She said softly.
Kai’s beatific smile made her sigh; the lightning and thunder echoed overhead and in that moment Kai pushed slowly inside her, breaking her maidenhead. The initial stab of pain was soon forgotten as the pleasure of Kai filling her completely, flowed through her. Kai growled, tight and wet, hissing at the clenching of her walls around his swollen cock, barely able to catch his breath beneath the tide of emotion that swept over him.
Outside the storm raged quickly, gathering clouds drenched the ground once more, brought forward by Eloise’s control. The room chilled and Kai took contr
ol of his body. Staring down at Eloise, her lips begged to be kissed as they parted, and she gasped, when he drove his cock into her heat.
Kai’s arms locked her body against the bed and he started rolling into her. He hissed through gritted teeth, at the tightness of her. Almost every slow and deliberate stroke made Eloise gasp for breath; his lovemaking was perfect; talents learned from his past to prolong the pleasure to receive greater rewards.
Sweat beaded on his hot skin. Withdrawing from her heat and noticing her frown, he quickly soothed her disappointment with deep kiss as he leaned over her. Pulling her towards him and edging off the bed. Eloise wrapped her arms around his neck and followed with her legs, clinging to him as he stood by the bed and reached for the cover. Wrapping it around their bodies, he marched them towards the door and out onto the porch.
Eloise marveled at his strength. His hand supported her cheeks and only when she felt the wall at her back did she understand why they were outside.
The cool from the stone wall seeped through the cover wrapped around her back but Kai didn’t need the warmth, his searing touch told her that much. Rain carried under the porch from the strong breeze fell against his skin, almost sizzling as it touched his hot flesh. He needed the cool of the storm; he’d told her he found it soothing that first day by the lake.
Burning lips sealed over hers, reminding her of what she’d been missing. The tip of his thick cock nudged at her entrance, and bracing her against the wall, he pushed into her, causing them to gasp against each other’s mouth.
‘You’re so soft.’ Kai’s deep voice purred.
Eloise molded her body to his; taking each thrust, grinding herself deeper onto his cock. She clung onto him, arms around his neck and grabbed a handful of damp hair, forcing her mouth over his. His powerful arms pulled her away from the cold of the wall, cradling her towards him while he drove into her deep to bring about another ecstatic release.
The sky lit up with a streak of lightening, closely followed by a loud thunder clap sounding around them. Kai roared when the loud boom shook the building, his heart beat hard and strong with adrenaline rushing through his veins. Pleased with her gift to Kai, she marveled at his excitement with the storm. Her breaths grew heavy as her body trembled deep inside, feeling her muscles spasm around his swelling cock, her body shook and trembled in release.
Eloise nestled her face against his neck, her body still shaking. Kai quickened his strokes as he neared his climax, feral grunts escaping his mouth with each deliberate stroke until his husky voice gave a final moan.
Waiting for his breathing to subside, Kai raked his jaw along hers and groaned softly. He squeezed her close and feeling her shiver from the cool of the wind and rain, withdrew and set her down to stand while he gathered the cover around her shoulders. Once she was enclosed in the warmth of the bed cover, Kai scooped her in his arms and carried her inside, laying her down on the bed. Closing the doors he re lit the candles that had been caught in the breeze then lay on the bed with Eloise, wrapping his arm around her. Nestling under his arm and draping her leg over his, her hand slowly moved over his skin.
‘How do you feel?’
She sighed at his question, molding her body closer into his heat as a content smile spread wide over her face.
‘Amazing.’
Kai tightened his arm around her then started to stroke her hair as he closed his eyes to rest. The slow teasing of her hair brought him to a comfortable, relaxed state. Eloise’s fingers traveled down his scarred chest to his abs, circling small blemishes. Kai released a sigh of contentment, reveling in her touch, and placed a single kiss on her head as he continued stroking her soft hair.
The content expression on his face brought a smile to Eloise. Staring at his mouth and blushing when she thought about his lips against her sex, she felt a sudden rush of excitement rush through her.
Kai noticed her sudden flush.
‘What are you thinking about?’
‘Nothing.’ She lied.
Narrowing his eyes, Kai cocked his head to the side. ‘Tell me.’
Feeling her cheeks turn a darker shade of crimson, Eloise chewed the corner of her lip before answering.
‘I was thinking about your lips, and where they were earlier.’ She giggled.
Laughing and grinning wide, Kai’s eyes widened. ‘Want me to put them back there?’
Without warning Kai rolled Eloise over onto her side and covered her with his body. He held her chin with his fingers and kissed her tenderly before bombarding her with a dozen or more kisses. Touching her hand to his face, Eloise stopped his kissing fest.
‘I’d like that, but, I should go back to my room. It’s getting late.’
Growling and pressing his forehead to hers, Kai knew she was right. It would be better if they weren’t found in the wedding bed before they were married. Although he didn’t have an issue with it, her father might.
Kai brushed his lips across her cheek and nestled against her. His thoughts of the afternoon’s events reminded him he had issues to resolve, not only with her father and brother, but also with Sabe. Regretting his fight with his trusted friend, he wanted to speak with him before he turned in for bed. He had to make a decision about Roulan and Eloise’s father, also the wedding; it might be better if it was postponed.
Kai looked into Eloise’s soft eyes. ‘Do you still want the wedding tomorrow?’
Eloise blinked. It wasn’t a question she’d expected to have to answer, and frowning, hesitated.
Noticing her frown, Kai felt his heart race. ‘Eloise?’
‘I want to marry you of course, but I don’t want to have my wedding day marred by the execution of my brother.’
In truth, he’d forgotten about Roulan and realized he’d have to rethink his decision. ‘I’ll spare his life, but he can’t go unpunished.’
Taking a deep breath, Eloise had to know what Kai’s intentions were.
‘What about my father? He didn’t have anything to do with this; it was all Roulan’s doing. He hasn’t betrayed you, would you continue with the alliance?’
‘Is that what you want?’
‘It’s what my father wants.’ Eloise didn’t care about the agreement if she was honest, she couldn’t care either way, but her father’s distressed state earlier upset her. If nothing else, she’d want it for him.
‘Then he shall have it.’ Kai smiled before laying a soft kiss against her lips.
Her smile showed him he’d made the right decision, but there was still Roulan to deal with.
‘What do you think we should do with your brother?’
She thought for a moment. ‘Could you send him away?’
Kai frowned.
‘I mean to fight with your warriors, like training or whatever it is they do. He’d serve a sentence, you could decide how long.’
It sounded fair to Eloise. Roulan had stolen from Kai and broken a trust, he should now work with his warriors to fight for Kai. It would at least save him from a flogging or whatever else they did.
Kai’s face was still before he suddenly grinned. ‘I think that would be a fair punishment.’
He had no idea how well Roulan could fight, but he’d struggle to keep up with his warriors no matter how skilled he was. They had a strenuous training regime and he relished in the thought of it.
‘I’ll speak with your father and make him a new offer. If he agrees to Roulan’s punishment, then we’ll continue with the alliance.’
‘What if he doesn’t? Eloise frowned.
‘Then he can return to Brightstone without my support, Roulan will be kept here for a minimum of one season in the cells.’
It was a fair deal in her opinion, but he’d left out one important point.
‘What about me? Us?’
‘You’re not going anywhere, I’m keeping you.’ His sensual lips curved into a hint of a grin. ‘If your father has any sense, he’ll choose to send Roulan off with my warriors. Don’t you think so?’
‘Ye
s, I’m sure he’ll find that acceptable. You’re not serious about keeping me are you?’
This brought a frown to his face. ‘Of course I am, you promised, remember?’
Not giving Eloise change to speak or make a noise, Kai kissed her, soft and slow. Her hand slipped to his neck, while the other up his back, her fingertips teasing over the hard muscles.
She wasn’t going anywhere, whether her father chose to stay or leave, she didn’t care; because she was marrying Kai of Darkmide tomorrow and nothing was going to stop her.
Kai’s large hand moved down her neck, his fingers barely touching her soft skin, moving to her breast. Feather light and barely there, he circled her nipple causing her to whimper into his mouth. Breaking the kiss and staring with wicked intent Kai slowly pushed his thigh between hers, settling himself. His muscular body, filled with raw power and energy, should not possess such tender caressing hands, but Eloise was pleased he had. If Eloise didn’t leave now, she’d still be there in the morning, enslaved by his kissing and passionate love play.
‘I don’t want to go, but I have to.’ Eloise moved her hand across his jaw, hoping he didn’t kiss her again.
Kai groaned in disapproval.
‘I have to go now… if I don’t-’
‘I’ll keep you up all-night.’ Kai chuckled. ‘But I know you wouldn’t mind.’ He raked his lips across hers, teasingly. ‘Would you?’
Eloise giggled. ‘No, I wouldn’t.’
Pausing to capture the look on her face in his mind, he kissed her one last time.
‘I need to apologize to Sabe; I’ll go and find him after you’ve gone.’
‘Why, what did you do?’
Sighing and lowering his eyes he wasn’t sure he wanted to tell her, reluctantly he confessed. ‘I hurt him; it was just before you came in.’
‘Oh Kai.’ Eloise pressed her face close to his. ‘You can make it right, do it now.’
Kai nodded and agreed it was better to deal with it now rather than later. He wouldn’t sleep anyway knowing there was an issue between them. Dragging himself away and picking up her dress from the floor, he grimaced.
