Chapter 196 - Over The Edge
Chapter 196 – Over The Edge
AARYN
Quivering, holding her there, he leaned down, his mouth hovering just above hers, their eyes locked. Elreth's were wide, fascinated, and touch nervous.
"Trust me," he rasped.
"I do."
He smiled and tilted his head to kiss her, turning so his mouth took hers at a right angle and he could sweep the flat of his tongue against hers.
She whimpered and pulled against the grip he had on her hands, but instead he tightened his hold and with a silent prayer to the Creator for control, he lifted her hip in the same moment he entered her in one long, slow slide, both of them barely breathing as he pulled all the way out, then pushed back in again, so slowly.
Elreth's body was a signal fire, her tension flaring and easing, shuddering under his touch, but never going out as Aaryn, standing at the end of the platform pulled her back, back, back down against him, until her bottom rested right on the edge and without him there, she might have slid off. But when he had her positioned perfectly, her knees hooked on his hips, their bodies joined perfectly, he thrust. Hard.
Elreth cried out at the explosive union—he reached her so deeply he could feel her inside. But he didn't let up. Using his twin grips on her, he held her in place as he plunged, again and again—not too quickly—holding the pressure against her at the peak.
His beautiful mate writhed, arching, her throat bare to him as she called him again and again, her entire body vibrating with pleasure.
Standing gave him traction. If he hadn't held her, the force would have pushed her up the bed. Instead, her cries caught in her throat as he invaded her—always careful not to let himself go completely, not to harm her, but with enough pressure to make her speechless with pleasure.
Leaned over her like that, her back arched so her breasts were forced up, he moaned watching them bounce, her nipples upright and a deep rose against her fairest skin that had never seen sunlight.
She gasped and cried at the onslaught, until she was left whimpering, panting, calling for him to keep going, to not stop.
"Aaryn… Aaryn please… please let me touch you," she gasped. "I submit. Creator's Light, I will do anything, please!" her voice was raspy and breathless, and Aaryn, fighting so hard for control, let out a shuddering groan, then released her hands.
She sighed with pleasure, reaching for him immediately as he straightened and took her hips, lifting her slightly, changing the angle as her hands stroked his shoulder and chest, and gripped at his neck.
"Oh… Oh!"
Elreth writhed, bumping herself into him, taking what he gave, and doing her best to return it, reaching for him, arching to meet him, her voice climbing higher as her pleasure crested.
Then, still holding her, Aaryn curled over her, taking her nipple in his mouth again and sucking, thrusting into her as hard as he dared given her lack of experience.
"Please! Aaryn! Oh!"
He could feel her bearing down, her body closing around him, drawing him in, seeking that perfect connection.
Then Elreth sucked in, held her breath, and went still. As Aaryn continued to stroke into her, the mating call erupting from his throat in an ecstatic groan, a wave of goosebumps washed down her body.
"El! Oh, my love!" He cursed, so close to his own release, but determined to find hers, when her eyes flew open and she called his name, her body jerking and quivering, clamping down on him and sending Aaryn over the edge, the orgasm hit him like charging bear, stealing his breath and making his legs shake as he groaned and huffed, afraid he might lose his feet before it was over.
He caught himself before he collapsed on her with his full weight, braced himself on the furs at either side of her head, panting, still shuddering with the aftershocks as Elreth slumped.
She curled her fingers into his hair and pulled him into a kiss, deep and sensual as she rode out the shivers that still wanted to rock her.
Holy shit… holy shit… He hadn't intended… she was his mate… he never wanted to hurt her.
Stroking her hair back off of her face, he searched her eyes for pain or confusion. "Are you… okay?" he asked hesitantly, bracing for an answer he would have to—
"Aaryn, that was… that was… incredible. I didn't know you could do it like that!"
Aaryn snorted. That was nothing compared to what he would show her if… "I didn't hurt you? That got a little rough."
"Rough? That's rough?"
"Well, I mean… not for me. But I don't want to hurt you. I know this is new—"
"Hurt me? I wanted more! Aaryn that's… I didn't know it would be like this. It's like, you're filling me, and I'm just greedy. I want more, always more. When you're doing that all I can think of is how to reach for more of you. I am… I'm afraid I'm going to… how am I ever going to get anything done? I will just want to do this all the time!"
Aaryn spluttered, blinking. He wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. His mate was perfect. She was… she was perfect.
He took her mouth, overcome with gratitude for her, with desire for her, with shock at her willingness to just follow him into this. And she kissed him back, humming with pleasure, the gooseflesh on her arms still prickled as he stroked his hands up her body and she sighed happily.
"I'm so glad we decided to do this," she whispered a minute later, stroking his hair as he rested his head on her chest.
"Me too," he croaked, still humbled and uncertain how to express what he was feeling. "El?"
"Yes?"
He lifted his head to meet her eyes and she smiled, combing his hair back off his face with her fingers. "Promise me something."
"Anything," she said.
"Never change," he said. "Never stop being exactly who you are."
Her eyes began to shine. "I'll make you deal—I'll stay me, as long as you stay you, too."
He smiled and leaned up to kiss her, taking her lower lip between his teeth and tugging it out before he said, "Deal."
