Grounded By Love (The Giant Wars #2)(64)

Her little teeth dug into the skin on his shoulder, as stars exploded behind her eyelids. Water splashed up and over the sides of the tub, as Kaeldar gave a roar and plunged into her, letting loose his seed, as her inner channel clamped down on him.

Claira collapsed on top of him, as she quaked for a few last times, squeezing his member for every drop it had.

One of his hands came up and brushed down her long hair. The caress felt so light and loving. It made her heart pinch hard in her chest.

She would appreciate all the moments she had with Kaeldar, because she really felt like the end for them was coming. Of course, she understood how hard it would be for Kaeldar to defend his actions of keeping a human woman around.

"Claira?"

"Hmm?" She wasn’t quite ready to be disturbed.

"Don't doze off quite yet." He tickled her side a little, to wake her.

Claira playfully slapped his chest, forgetting all the heavy thoughts that had been weighing on her mind. "Is it my fault you know exactly how to tire me out?"

He gave a bellow of a laugh. "I suppose not." He gave a brief pause to wipe a strand of her pale hair behind her ear. "Shall we make our way to the bed? I don't know how comfortable you are, but I think falling asleep in the tub would cause a crick in my neck."

She smiled down at him, while she pushed herself up and away from him. Stepping out of the tub she watched him rise. She loved the water running down his muscled body.

Taking a towel Kaeldar walked over to her and started to dry her off.

"Thank you."

"No, thank you." He sent her a dazzling smile from where he knelt on the floor drying off her calves.

Kaeldar made his way up to her thigh, between her legs, and then dried off her breasts. Her skin flushed, as he took his sweet time rubbing the towel over her sensitive nipples. He gave her a crafty smile and a wink.

Once he was done, she turned to slip between the covers of the bed, while she waited for Kaeldar to dry his own body off.

"You keep me on my toes."

"Do I?"

She blushed. "Some of these ideas you have for sex are quite surprising to me."

"If I ever go too far, I need you to let me know. I don’t want to scare you away from such pleasure."

She nodded. "Of course, I will, but so far everything has been very pleasant." It had been a lot more than just pleasant, it was in the realm of mindblowing.




Kaeldar's heart pinched in his chest. This human woman was someone who was going to put him through the ringer. He loved her strong character as well as her supple body.

He had to let her go at some point, but he was having a hard time keeping emotional and physical distance, because he wanted her with a need that shocked him to the core. It wasn't only a lustful need for her, it was also a very emotional one as well. He really wanted to keep her by his side.

She was someone who was bringing joy into his life. A life where his parents hadn’t shown him much love and happiness as a child. His only reprieve had been to join the war and fight against the humans.

Unfortunately, he just wasn't sure he was going to be able to keep her by his side. It wasn't safe for her here with the way his parents wanted her gone. She hadn’t even been here a day before they started asking for him to remove her.

He’d been raised by a strict rock giant family, knowing he would someday become the next king of their people. Yet here he was tending to a human female, wanting her to be by his side. His father would make it hell for him and for her.

It would never be permitted. His father would have her killed, if he thought she was special to Kaeldar. Something special would just be a distraction, or said his father. A king needed to be free of attachments.

If he gave the image that she was just a war captive, his father might leave her alone, but it would be a long shot.

"Kaeldar?"

Claira's voice penetrated his racing thoughts. When he took a glance down at her, he couldn't help but grin. Her blonde hair haloed her head, her piercing green eyes soothed him and drew him in like a fish on a hook.

He moved towards the bed and grabbed the covers slipping underneath them and wrapping his arms around her tiny waist. He drew her into him, his cock jumping back to attention.

Claira raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Already?"

He gave a chuckle. "I think it would be best for us to get some sleep, before we do it again. Sadly, it can be hard to control him, when I have you next to me naked and damp."




Placing her head in the crook of his shoulder Claira sighed out of happiness. Then the thought of the older rock giants went through her mind.

"I have a question for you."

"Do you now?"

She could tell he had his eyes closed and was ready to sleep.

"Yes." She snuggled a little closer. "I was curious about those other rock giants you were talking to. I have a sneaking suspicion they might be your parents."

She felt him nod his head. "They are indeed my parents."

"I’m sure they were delighted to see you again. They must worry, every time you leave for battle."

He shrugged his shoulders this time. "I’m not so sure about that, but it doesn’t need to trouble us right now. We have enough on our plates."

She was able to agree with that statement easier than she would’ve ever hoped for. "Just one last question?" She asked.
