“There isn’t a better man in this world or mine that I could have at my side. Thank you for finding me,” she murmurs.
I snort. “It was fated by the gods, Liv. You know this. You must thank Dhius, Ostus, Thyvstus, Itla, Unir, and Vedite for first creating you, then for bringing you to me.”
She shakes her head. “They had a hand in it, I’m sure, but they are not the reason I love you, Aaric. You are the reason that I love you.”
“Come,” I say, holding out my hand for her.
She slips her hand in mine and I guide her out of my secret passageway. There is one place that I have been wishing to take her, but we have been inundated with one task after another. Together, in the darkness, I guide her toward the hot springs.
I am not surprised that they are empty when we arrived, turning to look at her, I grin at the way she looks at the area with awe. There are several private springs, and I know that they are all filled with warm and inviting water.
Tugging her against my chest, I slide my hands around her back and tug the back of her dress open and bare her body for me. She gasps, but her lips curve up into a grin.
When she’s completely unclothed, I wrap my hands around her trim waist and guide her toward one of the pools. Slowly, we sink down into the warm water.
Jerking my chin up, I ask her to perch herself on the ledge. Without hesitation or question, she does, spreading her thighs for me as if it is an automatic response. I grin at the sight of her exposed, waiting, and ready for me.
“Aaric,” she exhales.
Shaking my head once, I wrap my hands around the insides of her thighs and bury my face between her legs.
Chapter Thirty-Nine
LIV
Arching my back, I lift my hips as I cry out with my release. It is so odd, so quiet in the night, and I am exposed to any passersby, but it’s thrilling at the same time. My thighs shake, my entire body trembles as he eats me, as he draws the orgasm out.
When I come down from my climax, my entire body goes limp, my arms trembling as he shifts from between my legs with a grunt.
Opening my eyes, he leans over me, his face just inches from my own. I can smell myself on him, his lips and beard still glistening with my release.
“Aaric,” I sigh.
He grins, his eyes wild and black as the darkest night sky. His lips brush my own before he stands up straight. I’m too boneless, too tired to even attempt to sit up.
His body is wet as he moves closer to me. He grabs ahold of my waist, lifting me as he sits on the ledge. Straddling his thighs, I look down into his pretty pale blue eyes. They practically sparkle in the moonlight.
“Take me,” he demands in his native tongue as he slowly lies back on the smooth rock.
Looking down to him, I sink my teeth into the corner of my lips. He’s lying down, but I can feel his arm moving as he strokes his length behind me, his hand brushing my backside with each move.
“I’m confused,” I whisper.
His lips turn up into a smile, his white teeth showing beneath his beard. “Climb, come,” he murmurs.
“Aaric,” I gasp.
I don’t hesitate though, I’m pretty sure I know what he wants and I can’t wait. I want it, want to come again, want him to put out that fire inside of me that seems to stay at a smolder without fail since I’ve been dropped in this place.
Climbing up his body, I straddle his face. Looking down at him, I smile. He is grinning, but then I decide I need something different. As quickly as I can, I turn around. He grunts, but I have a plan, a need, and he isn’t going to be able to stop it.
Bending over, I position myself exactly where I need to be, my knees pressing into the smooth stone next to his face. “Liv, you mean to?” he asks.
I hum but don’t respond with words. Instead, I open my mouth and take him inside. He groans, his breath fanning my pussy when he does. When I feel his tongue flick my already sensitive clit, I moan around his cock.
Aaric grunts, and we focus on making one another come with our mouths. My hips move and jerk, they shift and roll at the same time his surge forward, burying his cock deeper down my throat. It’s deliciously dirty and I love every single second of it.
He lifts his hands, his fingers wrapping around my hips before he pulls my pussy down against his face. I whimper, his hips continuing to fuck my face. Pinching my eyes closed, I come and I miss it, I don’t see what happens around us.
My body goes slack as Aaric’s release slides down my throat. I swallow every drop, my body relaxing as he continues to softly lick me. I lay my head against the top of his thigh until we’re both limp and sated.
Aaric rolls me onto my back, my head faces the water, and I expect him to stay where he is, but he doesn’t. Instead, he sits up and moves around until he is above me, his hips between my thighs.
Lifting my hands, I cup his cheeks and stare into his blue eyes. “How do you make my talisman glow every time?” he asks. “Before you, I didn’t know it was possible, that it held the magic of the gods within it.”
“Things like that don’t happen in my world, so I don’t know,” I murmur.
His lips twitch as his eyes search mine. “It is not possible here either. But with you, it is. It’s your magic, Liv. You are full of it, it’s a beautiful thing.”
“It scares me,” I admit.
He shakes his head once. “Never should it. It is fagr, just like you.”
Lifting my head, I touch my lips to his in a quick kiss to shut him up. He laughs against my mouth, knowing exactly what I’m doing. Then, I feel his hips shift between my legs, sliding through my folds.
Wrapping my arms and legs around him, I lift my hips to meet his. Both of us groan as he continues to move. Our eyes stay connected, our gazes don’t look anywhere but each other’s eyes, we’re locked in on one another.
“There is no other woman for me, not just because you are fated to me by the god decree, but because you are just simply, minn.”
My heart speeds up rapidly. My body fills with warmth, but instead of it being a painful, fiery pain, it feels more like a coziness. I sigh as he shifts his hips and fills me with his hard length. He stretches me full.
Our gazes stay connected as he begins to move inside of me. I don’t miss it this time, I don’t miss a single thing.
Aaric makes love to me.
His gaze turns black again right before my eyes, then the talisman against the side of his head starts to glow. The markings on his chest and side start to glow and instead of sparks, the blue light just slowly begins to swirl around us.
I can’t watch the pretty blue light, my eyes are only focused on his as I begin to climb higher and higher toward my third release of the night.
My nails dig into the skin of his shoulders, arching my back, I keep my gaze on him, not looking anywhere else or closing my eyes, no matter how badly I want to just let go completely.
Aaric’s palms are next to my head, his arms straight as he continues to watch me. He hisses as he moves, he thrusts harder and harder, his hips slamming against me with each thrust. It’s beautifully painful.
My orgasm rolls through me, it bursts through me like a freight train. It almost explodes and at the same time Aaric buries himself deep and his blue light does explode all around us. I gasp at the beauty that surrounds us as I attempt to catch my breath.
