Beauty in Autumn (Beauty #3)(15)

But then he's pushing me back against the bed, spreading my thighs apart, and I do as he commands. I feel a sweep of his hair against my legs, and then his hand is on my inner thigh. It's the only warning I get before his mouth is on my pussy, his tongue slicking through my wet folds. I cry out again, my hands going to his hair as he makes a hungry sound, licking me hard before focusing on my clit.

"I'm...oh gods, I'm going to come, Ruari. It's too much!" I arch against him, unable to stop whimpering. I can't see what he's doing, but his mouth on my sensitive skin is an onslaught of pleasure, and I'm so sensitive that it's going to make me shatter within moments.

He doesn't lift his head, though. He only growls low - and I feel it all through my body - and continues to lap at my clit. Something hard pushes at my core and then he sinks a finger inside me.

My body feels like it snaps. My muscles lock and I give a sharp little cry as I reach my peak, intense pleasure washing through me. I can feel the wetness of my release on my thighs, and still Ruari doesn't lift his mouth. He licks me over and over, until I'm coming hard and fast a second time, and stars burst behind my eyes as satisfaction washes over me once more.

When he finally lifts his head, I let out a low moan. He pauses, his hand sliding out from between my thighs. "Willow...there's blood here. You're a virgin?"

I nod. "Is that...bad?"

He falls over me, his weight heavy and pleasing all at once. I feel him press his mouth to my neck, and his hands are tight on my body as he holds me close. "I am humbled you would give such a gift to me."

"I'd give everything to you, Ruari."

"Everything but your sight?"

I sigh softly. "Everything but that, yes."

He presses a kiss to my throat again. "Then I shall take what I can get."

I put my arms around him as he shifts his weight over me, adjusting. He's big and heavy, but I like the feel of him. When he touches my leg and places it against his hip, I take the hint and spread my legs wide for him. Immediately, he rests his cock against my pussy, and I suck in a breath at the sensation.

"Are you...are you sure you wish to go forward?"

I nod at him. "I want you."

Something hard shifts against the entrance to my core. I wriggle a little, the sensation an odd one. A moment later, the hard length pushes into me, and I suck in a breath. It's...not quite as lovely as I'd expected. He feels far too big, far too tight a fit, and I try to hold still, biting my lip so I don't cry out at the uncomfortable sensation.

"You're so tight, Willow," he breathes over me, his face so close to mine. Again, the urge to kiss him moves over me and I wish I could. But I won't betray his trust. I touch his face, loving the intimacy of the act even if it hurts.

"Does it feel good?" I ask him.

"Better than anything." He presses his face into my neck again and then I feel his hips move. He thrusts hard into me, and I inhale sharply. That...that wasn't all pain. He moves again, and the discomfort eases, bringing with it a strange sort of pleasure as he begins a slow, steady rhythm inside me. Oh. I wasn't expecting this. And as his movements grow faster, his thrusts harder, I'm surprised when I begin to feel the prickle of need once more, this time deep in my belly.

He shifts his hips and pushes into me again and I gasp, because this time, it feels vastly different. It's like he's pushing against something new inside my body, and it makes my legs jerk in response. The delicious feeling is growing deeper, and my nails dig into his skin. "Ruari," I whisper, the urgent feeling rising. "I...I think..."

"I know," he growls against me. "Can feel you...your cunt's so tight around me..." He rocks into me again, hard, and I gasp once more. "Need you to come again for me, Willow. Won't come without you."

"Keep moving," I tell him, lifting my hips restlessly against his when he surges into me again. "Oh my gods, yes, again!"

As if frenzied, he snarls and pumps into me with relentless ferocity. His hand grips my hip, anchoring my body against him and there's nothing but endless pleasure as I push up to meet his every thrust. I'm lost to the sensations, lost to everything but the feel of Ruari on me, Ruari in me. Ruari panting my name between slaps of our bodies.

Ruari. My Ruari.

Then it happens - this time, the orgasm seems to come from somewhere deep inside my body, and I give a little sob as everything in me clenches tight with my release. I can't breathe it's so intense, and Ruari's growl of fierce pleasure just makes it that much more delicious. His thrusts take on a wildness, and then before I know it, he's shouting my name and collapsing on top of me.

I lay underneath him, stunned by what just happened. I'm so, so wet between my thighs.

I've let him come inside me. I've completely forgotten Leta's warning. I bite my lip, worried. She said it wouldn't affect the curse, though, so I decide to say nothing. The damage is done. I hold tight to my Ruari and snuggle close to his sweaty body, utterly content.

WILLOW


We make love over and over, until we're both exhausted and our bodies are sticky with sweat. At some point, I fall asleep in his arms, his large body spooning mine as he holds me tightly against him.

When I wake up the next morning, it's to sunlight spilling into the room. I'm facing the window of an old fashioned, ornate chamber with a mural on the ceiling. Everything looks gray and faded, as if time has taken its toll. Sunlight pours in and outside, I can see the bright red and orange leaves of the trees in the distance.
