Taming the Queen of Beasts

Chapter 284 - Learning You

AARYN

As he pumped into her grip, Aaryn gasped her name once, twice, his body shaking with need. But if he kept doing that, this would be all over, far too soon.

With a groan, he opened his eyes to tell her to stop, so he could focus, but found Elreth staring up at him, wide-eyed and smiling.

"You really like that," she said, as if this were a surprise.

Aaryn snorted. "Fuck, yes."

"What else do you like that I haven't done enough?"

"You're always enough, El."

She rolled her eyes, but they dropped closed as he let his hips press into hers, grinding in a way that made promises about what they would do.

"What I mean," she gasped a moment later, "is what would you like? What—"

For an answer, he dropped his face into her neck and let his full weight rest on her. She squawked because she couldn't stroke him anymore, but if he was going to do this, he needed her to stop anyway.

Wrapping his arms tightly around her, he rolled, bringing her up and over him so she straddled him.

Then he let his hands slide down to her hips and gripped her there.

Elreth pushed up to a sitting position and opened her mouth, but she must have caught the sheer heat in his gaze when she was bared to him that way.

"Oh." She said quietly. Then she smiled. "Like this, huh?"

He nodded, his throat suddenly closing with a rush of emotion that came at him from seven different directions at once—joy, admiration, passion, and grief.

But he put those aside.

Putting his hands to her face, he pulled her down into a kiss—which conveniently had the effect of lifting her ass, so that as they kissed he could slide against her, over and over again until she was beginning to twitch at the peak each time. Then he found just the right angle and…

Holy fuck.

They both moaned when he entered her.

ELRETH

She was quickly becoming convinced that that first moment—when they joined, when she opened herself to him and the parts of her that ached for him welcomed him in—was the most delicious sensation she'd ever experienced.

He'd been sliding against her until she was holding her breath, arching, seeking him without realizing it. Then he'd found her and the whole world narrowed to that one spot where their bodies joined. She felt every inch, thick and hard, penetrating her very soul.

It seemed impossible that they could joint this way without pain—yet the opposite was true. The long slide of him seemed to last forever, and be over in a blink. Without thought, she followed him with her body, eyes closed as she pushed up onto her hands to keep him pressed hard against her, inside her, opening her knees further and grinding against him.

She hadn't realized she'd been holding her breath until he grasped her hips and pulled out, almost all the way, then arched up to take her again and the air rushed out of her lungs.

Then they were rolling together, Elreth's skin prickling.

At first she lay over him, kissing him, and nuzzling his neck. But being low like that changed where the pressure of him hit her.

Seeking more, greedy for it, she pushed up on her arms, then sat back, hands braced on his chest.

She felt him, inside, pressing to her limits, and the shivering, electric sensation of it stole her breath again. She rocked against him twice more before she breathed.

"Oh… El…" he groaned.

She opened her eyes to find him, head craned up to watch where they joined, one hand on her breast, the other at her hip, pulling her against him.

Then, catching her gaze, he rolled his shoulders off the furs and took her nipple in his mouth, sucking in time with their joining, and Elreth cried out.

With a gasp of pleasure, she buried her fingers in his hair and pulled him against her, and the twin sensations of him sliding within her, and his hot mouth drawing on her sensitive peak, made that promising, glittering horizon appear, inching closer with every roll and every suck.

For a moment, as if she stepped out of herself, Elreth saw herself—abandoned and clinging, her breath heaving, sweat sheening her forehead and back, straddling her mate. She must look so strange!

The mental visual almost snapped her out of her pleasure, but then Aaryn grasped her hips in both hands and began to pound, holding himself up to stay at her breast even as he pulled her against him.

That line of pleasure on the horizon became a wave, rolling first towards her, then crashing over her until she shook and cried out.

AARYN

Only after she came the first time did Aaryn come off her breast with a small pop, and let himself slump back to the pillow. But the sight of her, still shuddering and rolling, her muscles looser, her skin pink with heat and desire, threatened to bring this to a very quick conclusion.

He gritted his teeth and held on, pounding into her—harder and faster, arching until she rode him, and he could feel her opening herself against him, clenching on him, threatening to tip over the edge again.

Aaryn opened his mouth to say her name, to beg her to open her eyes and see him, but the mating call tore out of his throat as his own orgasm loomed.

Elreth responded, her voice higher, keening, until both their calls echoed in the cave.

"You have no idea what you do to me," he rasped. "Never leave me, El. Never stop."

"Never," she gasped, her fingers first digging into his chest, then his arms as she sat back, trying desperately to find the angle that promised that final, earthshattering reward. Panting, pulling at him, her head sank back and she pleaded wordlessly for more. And Aaryn replied, groaning in time with their rolling, his fingers digging into the soft flesh of her ass as he pulled her against him again and again.

He finally felt her clench again, and a high cry broke in her throat, his name. Then he let himself watch her breasts bounce with the force of his thrusts, and he bellowed her name as his climax roared out of him, shuddering and shaking both of them as she slumped forward, over him, her breath rasping in his ear.
