A Kingdom of Venom and Vows (Stars and Shadows #3)(34)

Her body slowly relaxed, sinking further against me, and my cock was rock hard beneath her. I pressed a gentle kiss to her shoulder, and I loved the taste of her on my tongue.

I loved everything about this girl before me.

She turned against me, her body rolling against mine, and her hands tangled into my hair at the back of my head. She brought her mouth to mine, and she kissed me slowly before she sucked my bottom lip into her mouth and bit down.

My cock jumped, and I could feel her smile against my lips.

“I need you,” she said so softly I almost missed it.

“You have me. For this lifetime and any that come after.” I stared at her and pushed her hair out of her face. Her star marks were burning bright against her cheeks, and I was in awe of her.

Of her beauty, of her strength. She didn’t realize what she possessed. She had no idea the power she held over me.

But I could feel it with every fiber of my being.

“I need you inside me.” She moved, straddling my hips, and water sloshed around her and hit the floor outside the tub. “Shit.” She giggled, and my chest felt like it would explode.

I gripped her hips in my hands, helping her get settled against me, and I thought I might die when she reached beneath her and ran her small hand up and down the length of me.

She bit her lip as she watched herself work me, then she peered up at me with a hooded gaze as she lifted onto her knees and pressed me against her center.

I pressed my head back against the back of the tub as I tried to stop myself from thrusting up into her like I was dying to.

She sank down on me slowly, the pace driving me mad with need, and my hands tightened into her hips until I was worried I was hurting her.

“Gods, Adara,” I moaned and closed my eyes.

“No princess?”

I opened my eyes, and she cocked her brow, a damning smile playing on her lips.

“You will always be my princess.” My hips surged into her, and her eyes rolled into the back of her head. “I’ll call you whatever you want me to.”

“Hmm.” She hummed and started to move against me. “What else would you like to call me?”

She was teasing me, and the playful smile on her lips made something loosen in my chest.

“There are many things I’d like to call you.” I caressed her hip with my thumb, and she moved harder against me.

“Like?” Her word was breathless.

“My wife.”

Her gaze slammed into mine, and those wide eyes were the most beautiful sight I had ever seen.

“My queen.”

She rolled her hips against me, and my thumb moved to her center. I rolled my finger against her at the same pace she had set, and her sex clamped down around me.

“Gods, yes.” She let her head fall back, and she was fully exposed to me. I leaned forward, taking one of her breasts into my mouth, and I rolled my tongue against her nipple. “I will be anything you want me to be,” she murmured above me, and her words only spurred me on. “I am yours for whatever you want.”

I let out a curse and pleasure tightened in my lower stomach, and I knew I would come if she continued to say those words to me.

I leaned back again, my hands tightening on her hips, and I helped her lift off me until I pulled her back down hard. Her eyes rolled in her head, and I continued the movement over and over until we were both staring at one another and gasping for breath.

Her body took over, lifting and dropping back down onto me, and I rubbed her sex as I thrust my hips up out of the water to meet hers.

She pressed her hands against my chest, using the leverage to ride me, and when her nails dug into my flesh, I knew I wasn’t going to last.

“I’m going to come, princess.” My voice was rough and filled with the pain of holding off my pleasure.

“I want it,” she moaned and worked herself harder. “You belong to me, and I want it.”

I leaned up, claiming her mouth with my own, and I kissed her roughly as our hips met.

I bit down on her lip as her sex clamped down around me. I pressed my thumb harder against her, and she cried out against my mouth, her nails digging into my shoulder as her pleasure crashed through her. I came inside her with a loud groan, and I thrust up into her, deeper and deeper until I felt every drop of her pleasure wring from her body.

I leaned back against the tub, my body spent, and she followed me. She laid her head against my chest, her body fitting perfectly against me, and my cock jerked inside her.

She let out a small giggle at the feel of it, and I let out a deep breath as I ran my hands up and down the length of her spine.

I couldn’t stop touching her. The feel of her under my fingers soothing something inside me that nothing else could touch.

We stayed like that for a long moment until the water went cold, and I feared that we’d freeze before either of us was willing to move.

“Never again.” I let the words slip from my lips, and they sounded so full of anger.

“What?” she asked as she lifted her head and rested it on her arm against my chest.

I rubbed my wet hands along her face and over her head. I pushed her hair away from her face and leaned down to press my lips against hers.

It was meant to be a simple kiss, but the way she reacted made me feel desperate to take her again. I kissed her urgently, my hand tightening in her hair, and when I pulled away, that same need shined in her gaze.
