256- The Oath That Binds Us
POV Elowen Grimwald:
My mouth fell slightly open, and my body was overtaken by involuntary spasms.
I groped my own breasts, squeezing them with the force of the pleasure that threatened to cut through me, blinding me in the haze of voluptuousness into which I was being drawn.
“Aldren!” I cried out his name, on the verge of exploding.
That man could make me weak, lost, my blood boiling in my veins.
Every movement of suction sent a shiver ricocheting through my body, tightening my stomach and making my skin tingle.
I melted in his mouth and watched him take everything from me, grunting in satisfaction.
Aldren, on his knees, laid my body back down on the blanket. My legs were around him; he lifted the right one to his shoulder and fitted himself inside me.
His cock knew the way and struck against my entrance without warning.
“You drive me crazy, bitch,” he growled, sucking on my lips as he devoted himself to a slow back-and-forth of his long, thick shaft against my pussy.
“I… Ah… can say the same,” I gasped, my mouth going dry.
I trembled and let my lips part as the pace of his thrusts increased, feeding the growing desire to come with him inside me.
The fucking became voracious and urgent. My breasts bounced, and his balls slapped against my groin. Aldren captured my lips, panting, giving me the kind of kiss we never want to end.
I felt everything about him.
His hands gripping my skin.
His cock filling me with every thrust.
His sinfully skilled tongue moving inside my mouth.
His breath blowing hot against my face. Every hoarse moan, every eager growl.
The frenzy, his intoxicating scent, the heat of our bodies merging.
Aldren took me, and we both lost ourselves together.
The libidinous synchronicity that made us explode at the same time, grunting and declaring our passion, made me believe we had been made for each other.
It didn’t help that, breathing hard, he insisted on looking at me as if I were unique.
As if I truly were his…
Wrapping one arm around my back, he lifted me as he sat up and placed me between his legs. His hands brushed my wild hair away from my face, and there, before the intensity of his green eyes, Aldren said things my heart interpreted as a profound declaration of feeling.
“If you run away, I might spend the next hundred and fifty years hunting you.”
“I won’t run away. I don’t want to run.” I slipped my fingers through the short strands of his hair and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of my hand, admiring every perfect line of his face.
“If anyone hurts you, they will pay with their life.”
“Aldren…” I murmured his name, my eyes growing wet.
“If you’re not mine, you won’t be anyone else’s.”
“Then today is my lucky day…” I admitted, my heart galloping wildly in my chest.
“Swear your loyalty to me, Elowen,” he demanded, hoarse. For the first time, Aldren looked as if he were about to cry.
Clenching his jaw, he fought back tears. For him, that might have been a gesture of weakness, but for me, it was confirmation that something real existed there.
“You already have it.” I closed my eyes and pressed our lips together. The taste of a salty tear between our mouths triggered the release of my own crying.
I cried because I felt I had just received from the gods yet another of my greatest wishes.
“I need you to swear,” he insisted, pulling our lips apart and resting his forehead against mine.
I raised my arms and slid my hands along the bare contours of his shoulders until I reached the sides of his neck.
“I swear, Aldren Valmorin,” I declared, sealing the promise with a kiss.
I didn’t know exactly what that meant for the two of us, but his act of giving me part of his trust told me it was a beginning.
Our beginning.
The start of a relationship that, for me, would last a lifetime.
I purred for him, and his chest vibrated in response. I loved when that happened.
At the same time my heart burst with happiness, I understood that an oath made to Aldren, once given, could never be broken.
A distant, cruel voice hummed in my ears that perhaps, with that vow, I was signing my own death certificate.
