Chapter 70: So Sweet, Princess

Kara

Every nerve ending in my body fires to attention as Leif’s kiss sends shockwaves of pleasure through me. I melt into him, my mind and body surrendering to him. He pulls away, and I cry out at the loss. He chuckles and presses a soft kiss to my nose.

“Let’s wash the day off us, princess.”

“You just want to get me naked again.” I giggle.

“That’s just a bonus, my real goal is to get you clean so I can dirty you up again.” My jaw falls open at his joke, earning a chuckle from him as he takes my hand and leads me to the pool in the corner of the room. He steps back and smiles before beginning to remove my layers of clothing.

“My sexy warrior Queen.” He purrs, pressing a kiss to my shoulder as he removes the final layer of clothing, leaving them in a pile before shedding his own layers to join mine on the floor. I struggle to keep my eyes on his face, the urge to trail every hard plane of his torso with my eyes almost too strong to resist. I feel Hera pulling my eyes down, and I quickly push her back.

‘Kara.' She whines. I’m doing this on my own terms, Hera. Don’t push me faster than I’m ready.

‘I just wanted to drool over our mate.’ She pouts, fading into the background. Leif chuckles at my blush and holds out his hand to help me into the bath before following behind me. I smile at him over my shoulder and watch as he follows me into the water. He pulls me to him and settles us onto one of the benches, my ass nestled in between his thighs as he wraps his arms around me.

“Let me help you with your hair, my kaer.” He says, his fingers gently weaving through my hair to undo the braids he put in earlier, his hands massaging my scalp gently. I moan and fight to hold my head steady. He grabs a pitcher and coaxes my head back as he slowly pours the water over my head, the warm spring water soothing the ache in my head from the braids. I fall into a lull as he uses the different bottles next to the pool and washes and conditions my hair, carefully avoiding getting any on my face. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me back into his chest.

“That felt amazing, Leif, thank you,” I say softly, blushing.

“No need to thank me, mate, I’d do it every day if you asked. He lowers her face, pressing a soft kiss to my ear.

“Need help washing that delicious body of yours?” He growls, and I shudder, the thought of his hands freely roaming my body sending waves of desire through me. I nod and feel his body pulse with energy behind me. He reached for the washcloth and the jar containing the body wash, making sure to add enough to get a rich lather. He begins to run the cloth across my skin, each pass with the cloth igniting a fire behind it.

“Leif,” His name falling from my mouth as my head falls back against his shoulder.

“Yes, little mate?” He rumbles, his cloth-covered hand trailing down my stomach and back up. Each pass down comes a little closer to the place I crave his touch the most.

“You’re enjoying this too much,” I groan, my body twitching at the torture.

“I thought I’d never have you here,” he replied, brushing a damp strand of hair from my cheek. “Forgive me if I savor every second.” I practically melt at his words. No one has ever made me feel so desired and cherished. By the time finished washing my legs, arms, and torso, while torturously avoiding my breasts and pussy, my insides are alit with a delicious fire, my body craving more of his touch. He runs the rag along the underside of my breast, and my back arches into him, a whimper escaping me.

“Please…” I murmur, my eyes closed as my head rolls to bury itself into the side of his neck.

“Please, what, Kara?” He growls, his hand spreading to cover my breast as he slowly drags the washcloth over it.

‘Kara! Tell him! Please!’ Hera pleads, her desire rushing through me to join my own, driving the soft thrum into a frenzy. I can’t! It’s too embarrassing!

'It’s not embarrassing to want our mate, it would be if Laine or I took over.’ You wouldn’t dare!

‘Don’t try us, Kara. We agreed to let you lead, but you're driving us all crazy here. He’s not going to hurt us.’ I steel myself, knowing they're right and that it’s only my fear of the unknown that’s keeping me from completing the mating bond with Leif. He gently squeezes before trailing his hand to the other breast to repeat the same slow process. My resolve breaks, and I can no longer remember why I’m afraid of what’s happening.

“Leif…” I trail off as his hand slowly descends, just barely touching my aching, wet pussy.

“Tell me, princess, use your words.” I bite my lip as he runs his hand down one thigh, his pinky grazing my core as he descends.

“Touch me, please.” I can hear the grin in his reply.

“I am touching you, princess. Is it not enough?” I growl and grab his hand before it can begin another maddening descent without touching where I need him to most.

“Please, I can’t take any more. Touch me, taste me, please.” He growls, and his hands grab my hips tightly.

“Say it again.” It's my turn to grin now at the tension in his body. I shimmy my ass against him, his fingers tightening even more as he growls and grinds his hard cock into my backside.

“Touch me, taste me, Leif. I want you, all of you.” I no sooner get the words out of my mouth, and I’m whipped around to face him, standing between his legs on the ledge. His eyes are flowing like molten lava as they search mine.

“You mean that?”

“Every word, I’m ready.” He crushes his lips to mine, and stars erupt around us, or at least that's what it feels like. Leif scoops me into his arms and makes quick work of getting us out of the bath. Like a man possessed, he forgoes towels and takes me to the bed, gently laying me down as he lies next to me, holding me to him. I stare at him, our eyes staring into the others, our souls bared for each other.

“We’re gonna get the bed all wet.”I giggle as he smiles.

“The bed isn’t the only thing getting wet tonight, princess.” He growls as I gasp at the vibration his words sent through me. He rolls so he’s holding himself above me, my body burning with delight under him.

“I can’t wait to see how wet you get for me, but first, I’m going to take you up on your offer. I’m going to touch you, then devour you.”
