Highlander Unchained(87)

He walked to the other room knowing he’d find her in bed, tired after her ordeal, though taking the time to refresh herself with a wash and some food first. He stopped just inside the room. She lay in bed asleep tucked under the warm wool blankets and he wondered if she was naked.

He shed his garments fast and eased beneath the covers a smile spreading across his face when he wrapped himself around her warm naked body. He grew hard instantly and was about to tease her awake when she turned in his arms and snuggled against him resting her face on his chest.

Her body relaxed against his and he felt a jab to his gut, his heart lurch, and his arousal thickened. Her actions showed just how much she trusted him, felt safe with him and as much as he wanted to wake her so that he could make love to her; he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

She was exhausted from the day’s events and needed to rest. He wrapped his arms around her, tucked his leg over hers and though he thought he’d lay awake for hours unable to sleep, he didn’t. He closed his eyes and was asleep in no time.

Dawn didn’t know what woke her. It was as if someone was nudging her and she refused to open her eyes. She didn’t want to wake yet, she was warm and snug and so very comfortable all wrapped up in...

She smiled realizing that she was in Cree’s arms. He had come to her, slipped in bed beside her and joined her in sleep. He hadn’t turned away when he found her sleeping or had he woken her to couple. He lay beside her content and it filled her heart with joy, for it meant he wanted to be there lying beside her whether they made love or not.

The thought stirred her passion and that was when she realized what had nudged her awake. He was hard and his arousal poked at her. She eased her head off his chest to gaze up at him expecting to find him awake but he was sound asleep.

He was handsome beyond words but at the moment that seemed unimportant to her. What mattered was the caring side of him he had demonstrated time and again and it had her curious. Who was he? She knew so little about him and she suddenly realized that she wanted to know... as much as possible.

After all, she should know about the man she was losing her heart to little by little. The thought should have warmed her but it chilled her instead and once again she rested her head on his chest. She would not dwell on what it meant to give her heart to Cree, for what good would it do? It would not stop her from falling in love with him. Her heart had already taken the plunge and she could not snatch it back nor did she want to.

Love will find you. Those were her mum’s words and though she had doubted them, her mum had been right. Love had found her and there was nothing left for her to do but welcome it.

She snuggled contentedly against him and felt his arousal poke her again. She smiled suddenly feeling wicked or perhaps it was her own rising passion that had her hand drifting down to stroke him.

She was surprised at how good he felt and how caressing him simulated her own senses. She soon found herself exploring him more intimately. She slipped her hand lower and cupped his genitals weighing them gently in her palm and enjoying the feel of them. She then eagerly returned to run her hand over the length of his rigid arousal. He was big and thick and she gave it a squeeze thinking how she’d love to have him inside her. And the thought brought with it a rhythm and setting her grip tight around the length of him, she followed pace, her own body joining in.

His moans turned her daring or perhaps it was her own passion that made her react so wantonly, though whatever it was at the moment she didn’t care. She pushed him on his back and climbed on top of him, his eyes fully opening. She guided him inside her, her mouth dropping open as if she cried out in pleasure when his thick hardness pierced her.

“I want that mouth on mine,” he groaned and grabbed the back of her neck forcing her head down and claiming her lips in a brutally erotic kiss.

Dawn pushed him away after a few moments, her need to ride him too great to ignore. She threw her head back and braced her hands on either side of him and lost herself in a rhythm that was as natural to her as breathing.

“Good God,” Cree moaned and reached out to squeeze her breasts and tease her nipples with his fingers.

She planted her hands on his chest and he clamped his hands on her hips and together they set a rapid pace.

“Damn, woman, I’m going to come, tell me you’re ready.”

She threw her head back in pure ecstasy and Cree’s powerful hands brought her down on him even harder. His groan grew and when he shouted out her name, she burst again and shuddered against him in another climax.

She collapsed on top of him and he hugged her tight but only for a moment. He needed to regain his breath and so did she so he rolled her off him to rest at his side, his arm wrapping protectively around her.
