Hestaesia: Lost in Love

by K. L. Thorne

  Lori hurriedly climbed on top of him, straddling his body with her legs and flopped forward to place a firm kiss against his mouth.

  “The rib…” he grunted.

  Lori pulled away. “Oh, no! I've done it again, haven't I? Are you alright?”

  “Yeah, yeah. I'll live.” Lephas smiled at her and her stomach flipped over.

  This time, Lori lowered her face to his carefully. She softly brushed her lips against his, playfully moving away every time he attempted to deepen the kiss.

  “You tease,” he scolded, laughing as Lori moved away and he failed to capture her mouth yet again.

  She gave him a sultry smile before darting her mouth to nuzzle into his neck. She felt his big body shudder as she pressed soft, hot kisses against him.

  Lephas ran his hands underneath her tunic again and smoothed the warm expanse of her back. His rough fingertips trailed against her skin, tracing her spine.

  Feeling restless, Lori sat up a little and pulled away from the demon's neck. He gazed up at her with his dark eyes; heated and curious.

  She rested her hands against the floor either side of his body to steady herself, before rolling her hips against him. Lori's stomach turned over, watching his brows knit together into a grimace of pleasure.

  She rubbed against him once, twice... She was pleased when his hands emerged from beneath her tunic to rest on her hips and assisted her movements.

  “Fuck...” he sighed, his breath staggered. The demon lifted his own hips to grind against her.

  It was now or never. Lori hurriedly dropped her hands to the fly of his leathers and started unbuttoning them, trying to ignore the shaking in her fingers.

  The demon lay back, allowing her to tug open his trousers, watching her. Lori couldn't decipher the emotion behind his dark eyes.

  She desperately wanted to please Lephas, the way he had done for her the night before, but she was out of her depth. What if he didn't like what she was doing?

  “It's alright,” Lephas said, “We don't have to do this if you don't want to.”

  He gestured to where her hand was frozen at his unbuttoned flies. Clearly her hesitation was written all over her face.

  “But surely you want to–”

  The demon laughed nervously. “Well, yeah, but you're not looking very happy about it. I'm fine with just this, honestly.”

  “Sorry.” Lori smiled, feeling her cheeks heating uncomfortably.

  “Don't be sorry. There's nothing to be sorry for. I enjoyed last night just as much as you did, trust me.” He paused, shooting her a smouldering grin. “In fact, I'd be up for giving it another go, if you'd like?”

  “Don't tempt me.” Lori laughed, easing herself forwards to lie against Lephas's chest. He wrapped his strong arms around her and she allowed her eyes to flutter closed for a moment.

  “Please don't worry about it,” he soothed, brushing her hair off her face. Lori felt her heart had grown two sizes in her chest.

  “Why don't we just take it easy and see how it goes? I'm not commando down there, so it's not like you've got to be concerned about... touching it or anything.” The demon glanced down his body.

  Despite her nerves, Lori smiled and rolled away, flopping onto her back beside him. Her shaking hands dropped to her own trouser buttons and she popped them open one by one.

  Lephas remained silent, but she could feel his eyes on her. Lori lifted her hips and tugged her trousers down. She had only gotten them to mid-thigh when a soft laugh drew her attention.

  “What?” she asked, glancing across to the demon.

  He had rolled onto his side with his head rested in his upturned palm. He gestured to her undergarments with a grin. “I guessed wrong. I thought they might be pink.”

  Lori gazed down at the dark, aubergine coloured silk knickers she was wearing. They were her favourite pair.

  “I don't think I've ever been so glad to be wrong. I like that colour much better,” Lephas growled, his voice was deep and coarse with desire.

  He reached across and traced a finger, hip bone to hip bone, along the lacey, delicately frilled top hem of the garment. She shivered.

  Lori hurriedly continued undressing. She kicked her boots off and, although it wasn’t the sexiest of bedroom attire, decided to keep her long winter socks on. She sat forward to pull the rest of her legs free.

  Lephas leant around her to grab the woollen blanket and unfolded it.

  “Don't get too cold,” he warned, draping the material over them both.

  Lori rolled onto her hip, fixing him with a thoughtful gaze for a moment. The demon was kind, considerate and so handsome it made her want to scream. How had she gotten so lucky?

  He reached out with a large palm and grabbed her by her bottom, tugging her in roughly to press against him. The demon palmed her bare behind curiously for a moment before lifting the blanket to look beneath.

  “Fuck me, there's no back to them either,” he grated, squeezing her ass.

  Lori giggled, feeling uncharacteristically shy, and draped an arm around his neck. Though she was lying on her other arm, she wriggled so it lay between them and rested her hand at his flies once again.

  “Now it's your turn,” Lori whispered. “Take them off.”

  The demon pressed a soft kiss against her mouth before silently complying. He sat up to unbuckle his leather jacket and swiftly rid himself of it. Lephas lay back and Lori watched with a dry mouth as he lifted his hips to pull his trousers off.

  She was torn between desperately wanting to lift the blanket to see what he had just revealed for her and being frozen nervously in place.

  He hadn't removed his trousers fully yet, the material was bundled just below his mid-thigh, but Lori couldn't wait any longer. With her heart in her mouth, she grabbed the demon roughly by the material of his undershirt.

  Lephas obliged her, rolling his body over to lay on top of her. The faerie held her breath as she parted her thighs and allowed him to rest his hips between them.

  Well, he's certainly in proportion!

  The unmistakable hard column of flesh, though encased in the material of the demon's undergarments, pressed against her, tucked into the join between her groin and her thigh.

  Lephas groaned and took his weight on his forearms either side of her head. He pressed his mouth against her neck, kissing just beneath her ear. Lori wrapped her thighs around his hips and pulled them together tighter still.

  Being cautious not to disturb his rib, she delicately rested her palms against the small of his back. Lephas rolled his hips against her and huffed softly by her ear as her body rubbed against his. Lori curled her own hips upwards, eager to meet him halfway.

  After one or two gentle, teasing thrusts, Lephas brought his mouth to hers once more. Lori opened up to him and allowed the demon to delve his tongue into her mouth passionately.

  Thoroughly engrossed in his kiss, she hadn't been aware of him adjusting himself until he ground his hips against her again. This time, his hard cock slid directly over her core and continued upwards to rub perfectly against her sensitive apex.

  Lori moaned into the demon's mouth, her thighs shaking momentarily. She smiled as Lephas's member twitched against her in response and dug her nails gently into his back. The commander didn't require any further encouragement.

  He kissed her harder, grinding against her in a slow, rhythmical fashion. They weren't having sex - far from it - but Lori's body was on fire as if they were.

  It would be so easy - just two thin layers of fabric lay between them. All she would need to do was lift the crotch of her panties to the side and–

  “How is that feeling?” Lephas asked in a low voice, pulling away and placing a kiss on her cheek.

  “Good,” she panted, rocking against him with increased vigour. He matched her pace, intuitively sensing her growing desire.

  Lori released his back and brought her hands up and under his shirt. Even though the material of the bandaged inhibited her enjoyment sligh
tly, she stroked her fingertips over his body. Lephas’s prominent abdominal muscles felt even better when they were flexing and tensing on top of her, driving her arousal forward.

  “Is this good for you too?” Lori asked breathlessly, rubbing herself against him faster still.

  “I'd like to think it's pretty obvious it is.” The demon laughed.

  “Will you, I mean, um, is it–” She floundered, blushing wildly.

  “Is it going to be enough to get me off?”

  Lori nodded frantically and bit her lip to keep from moaning.

  “If I can get you to come first then yeah, it's definitely going to be enough. I barely held off last time.”

  Lori felt her resolve stiffen. She desperately wanted this to be as good for him as it was for her. She already felt a twinge of shame, painfully aware that the night before had been a very one-sided affair. She was keen to remedy that fact.

  She forced her mind away from her own selfish desire to climax and focussed on the demon between her legs. She pushed her hands against Lephas’s chest briefly and he moved away from her to give her room.

  She grabbed the hem of her tunic and dragged it up over her breasts, gathering the material in a bundle under her armpits.

  Lephas groaned and, to her surprise, lowered his mouth to one of the exposed peaks. Lori gasped as his hot mouth suckled at her sending waves of pleasure coursing through her body. Her sex clenched hungrily.

  No! This was supposed to be about him!

  In an act of fearlessness, Lori trailed her hand between their bodies. She swiped her thumb across the head of his cock through his undergarments.

  Lephas froze and shuddered with his mouth still attached to her breast. Lori took full advantage of his surprise and shuffled her hips away, just enough to be able to slip her hand beneath his underwear and grasp his shaft.

  Curiosity finally sated, Lori was pleased to find that whilst the demon was well-endowed, he wasn't alarmingly so. He was bigger than the other men she had been with intimately, but she wasn't in any doubt that they would be compatible should they ever take it to the next level. It would be a bit of a tight squeeze whilst she adapted to him, but she was relieved. One more concern was checked off her vast list.

  She ran her hand gently up and down his length, teasing him. Lephas released her breast and latched onto her mouth with a deep, masculine moan that got Lori's heart pumping.

  Steadily gaining in confidence, she tightened her grip and began stroking him in earnest. The princess kissed him passionately, delighted when the hard column of flesh pulsed in her hand.

  “Oh fuck, keep going,” he growled into her mouth. The demon rested his forehead, wet with sweat, against hers. She endeavoured to comply, rubbing him firmer and faster.

  He was breathing hard now and she watched as his abs tensed in time with her strokes.

  “Fuck...This isn't going to last long,” Lephas hissed between clenched teeth.

  “Are you going to come?” Lori panted, spurred on all the more.

  “Not just yet, but I'll let you know when I'm about to.”

  For a moment, Lori wondered what he meant. Then realisation hit her - if he came the way they were lying right now, his seed would land on her stomach. That seemed such a brash, raw thing to do; she was titillated. Lori licked her lips.

  She trailed her unoccupied hand up and down Lephas's chest and raised her chin to kiss him once more.

  She rubbed him insistently. Her hand had long since grown wet with his arousal, helping to lubricate her efforts as she focussed in on the sensitive tip. Lori knew he was getting closer when he began panting harder still and the muscles in his biceps began to shake and twitch.

  “Ah, Lori – I'm going to come,” Lephas groaned deeply and began to pull away from her.

  Hearing him moan her name, Lori made a snap decision. She wasn't about to let him back out now. She gripped his hips tightly between her thighs and hooked her lower legs around his, locking him in place.

  The demon looked down at her and Lori didn’t speak, just gazed back at him, hoping her all the lust and desire she was feeling inside was portrayed on her face.

  Lephas frowned, quickly recognising that Lori meant to bring him to orgasm regardless. He gritted his teeth and a moan ripped itself from his chest as he allowed Lori to push him over the edge.

  A heady cocktail of triumph and arousal washed over her as she watched the handsome demon spend. His seed was hot against her cool belly and her sex clenched greedily in response.

  Lephas fought to catch his breath and Lori released his shaft from her grasp, looking down at the mess he had made. When he failed to pass comment, Lori glanced up at the demon. He was looking at her, his expression raw and sultry and her stomach turned over.

  Without a word, Lephas hooked a finger beneath her knickers and tugged them down. Lori hastily kicked her legs free of the thin silk, her whole body shaking with nervous anticipation.

  The demon grasped her legs behind her knees and pushed her thighs back and apart, gazing hungrily at her exposed core.

  “Fuck me, that's nice. I could come again just looking at you.” He smoothed a palm from her knee, down the inside of her thigh and brushed his thumb up and down her folds tortuously slowly.

  Lori moaned and her toes curled. She instinctively tried to close her legs but Lephas held her firmly. Her muscles twitched and shuddered.

  “Can I kiss you?” he asked, shooting her a smouldering grin when she looked up at him, confused. “Down here, not on your mouth,” he clarified.

  “But isn't that, y'know, dirty?” Lori squeaked. She hadn't had the opportunity to wash since she had left Awrelwood. Her face grew hot with embarrassment.

  “That's the fun of it,” Lephas growled.

  Without waiting for her permission any longer, he lowered himself down onto his stomach and rested his hands against her inner thighs, still preventing her from closing her legs together.

  He trailed soft, chaste kisses down to the juncture between her groin and her legs. Lori startled a little every time his stubbled chin brushed against her sensitive flesh. She felt him spread her sex apart further still before moving in without hesitation.

  The faerie jolted and her thighs shook as Lephas's hot, wet tongue slid across the swollen, sensitive bundle of nerve endings. Her back arched up and she bit down, hard, on her lip.

  The demon didn't waste any time. With his eyes closed and brows knitted in concentration, he swirled his tongue against her relentlessly. Lori's whole body shuddered and a desperate moan shook itself free from her chest. She felt the vibrations of Lephas groaning back at her from between her legs.

  She grabbed the edges of the travel mattress tightly as her arousal sky-rocketed quicker than she had thought possible. Lori rocked her hips to him, as much as he was allowing her to, beneath the tight grip he had on her legs. Her sex began to pulse, building tantalisingly close to an orgasm already.

  “I'm really close,” she huffed breathlessly.

  Lephas continued to lap at her. He dipped his tongue away from her apex and licked back up in one long, slow stroke.

  Lori felt all her muscles bunching in readiness and she held her breath. Her thighs quivered and she fought against his hold as she started to climax, her core squeezing and clenching rhythmically.

  “You weren't kidding,” the demon mused, pulling his mouth away from her. He ran his index finger up and down the length of her wet flesh whilst she continued to spasm.

  Lori gasped for breath as the pleasure began to ebb away slowly. She lifted her head to look down at Lephas and his dark eyes were gazed back at her hungrily.

  “The face you're pulling right now is the fucking sexiest thing I've ever seen,” he growled. Lori flopped backwards and hid behind her palms with a laugh.

  “I hope you're ready to go again because I haven't had my fill of this yet. That was way too quick.”

  Lori's head snapped back up, just in time to see the demon delve forward with his mou
th again.

  Her hips jerked as he snaked his tongue across her sex. Post-orgasm it was all so sensitive, it was almost painful.

  “No, I can't!” she cried, trying to squirm away from him but he held her firmly.

  “You're a woman - trust me, you can. I promise I'll go easy until it settles down.” He pressed a kiss against her mound.

  Lori allowed him to continue, flinching at every touch. True to his word, the demon alternated between brief, gentle swirls of his tongue and chaste kisses.

  Before she had even realised it, Lori had recovered and began feeling the ache of arousal building inside her once more.

  She dared to glance quickly down her body at him again. His dark eyes were already on her. Lephas must have recognised the desire in her expression because he smiled and shot her a look that said: 'I told you so'.

  He closed his eyes and his tongue darted from between his lengthy incisors to lick at her. Lori moaned.

  Wicked, wicked demon.

  Lori lay on her side with the large demon tucked in tightly behind her, up to her neck in the woollen blanket. She stared into the flickering fire. His strong arms were wrapped around her but she held one of his hands in her own, their fingers intertwined.

  A small, sleepy smile stretched onto her face as Lephas pressed a kiss against her hair. Lori raised their joined hands up to her lips and placed small kisses against each of his fingertips in return.

  She felt his wide chest rise and fall with a sigh.

  Lying quietly, alone with her thoughts for a moment, Lori marvelled at her fortune.

  Ever since she had been a young girl she’d had wild dreams of meeting a 'prince charming' one day. Her entire life had been one long pursuit of a romance she had begun to doubt existed outside of books.

  She couldn't quite believe what had started as a desperate escape had morphed into something so perfect.

  Lephas was handsome, kind and made her laugh. He was generous (particularly in bed, her heart fluttered) and caring and... Wonderful. Lori squeezed his hand with hers.

  She couldn't deny it. Smitten was quickly developing into a completely head over heels infatuation, but there was a pit in her stomach she couldn't ignore. Was he feeling the same for her? Or was she just a pleasant distraction on their journey? Lori supposed even the nicest of men wouldn't turn down the offer of a bed partner in these sorts of circumstances.
