For a moment, Damen was stiff and unresponsive. Mairi feared he would resist, but then just as sudden his arms locked around her, his mouth taking control of the kiss, and she could have sobbed as she surrendered complete control to his command. Their kiss was hot, wet, and passionate. It had the most bittersweet taste of desperation, like they only had finite time with each other even if they had just been married.
Damen felt the same thing, and fear and resolve made him break the kiss. Breathing hard, he looked down at Mairi and even though it was clear she wanted him as much as he wanted her, Damen knew it was not enough.
“One day,” he said fiercely, “I will make you believe.” He didn’t give her time to answer. She didn’t need to anyway. Both of them knew where they each stood. She didn’t believe he could ever love her, and he knew she was only with him out of pity.
But for now, none of it mattered.
For now, they were simply Damen and Mairi, and tonight was their wedding night.
Chapter 7
Damen kissed Mairi again, this time holding nothing back. He poured all his love and longing for Mairi in his kiss, and he was rewarded not a second later by her whimper. He did his best to be gentle, not wanting to accidentally hurt her as he took off her clothes as fast as he could. She did the same for him, and his need for her only became greater when he realized that her fingers were shaking as much as his was.
Soon, all their clothes were gone, and as if their minds were one, both of them slowly ended the kiss and pulled away to gaze at each other.
Mairi’s throat dried at the sight of Damen’s splendid nakedness. It had been so long since she had seen his body and a delicious shiver of awareness went through her, something she wouldn’t have been able to stop even if her life had depended on it.
He had become noticeably thinner in the months they had been apart, but he remained as beautiful as ever in her eyes, every glorious inch of his long, hard body perfectly sculpted. His broad shoulders, his beautifully muscled chest, six-pack abs, his well-toned legs, and his thick and blatantly aroused cock –
Oh God.
Mairi’s eyes squeezed shut as her mind was suddenly filled with visions of a naked Damen on top of her, his smooth muscled back arching just before pushing his cock inside her, his buttocks flexing as her hands dug into his behind—-
Beautiful.
The word played over and over in his mind, for it was truly the only thing Damen could think about as he slowly and thoroughly took in the sight of his resplendently naked bride. She had her arms crossed over her breasts, but they were ample enough for a hint of pinkness to show up on top. That tiny glimpse of her nipples was more than enough to have Damen’s cock jutting up even more insistently, and his desire became more and more uncontrollable as he took in her long bare legs and that sweet little pussy.
It was moist and dewy, and the fact that she was already aching and wet for him when he hadn’t yet touched her was the clincher.
With a groan, Damen snatched Mairi into his arms, and his need heightened as Mairi came to him not just willingly but with unrestrained eagerness. Their mouths fused, their tongues danced, and their arms clasped each other as their bodies became one.
Mairi moaned in his kiss, and Damen groaned with her, the sheer explosive heat of their passion making him wonder if he would even make it to the next minute. It had been so fucking long. Too long than what was right.
His arms tightened around hers. Never again, Damen thought as he kissed her harder the same time he moved them towards the bed. Fucking never, Damen vowed to himself as he guided Mairi to lie on her back. Never would he allow them to be apart from each other, and he didn’t give a damn what he had to do to keep them together.
Mairi moaned, neck arching as Damen finally released her lips to kiss his way down her body. Her hands moved to his hair, luxuriating in its softness, but her grip tightened involuntarily when she felt him nuzzling the valley between her breasts. His hands joined his mouth, and her body curved up towards him as she felt his fingers curl possessively around her flesh.
The temptation to suck on her nipples overrode him, and forgetting all about taking things slow and easy, Damen settled himself on one elbow while using his other hand to plump her breast and feed himself one pink succulent nipple.
Sensation, hot and sweet, burst inside Mairi’s body, and she gasped as Damen started sucking, teeth scraping, tongue laving. Her fingers drifted down, nails scraping his back in an effort to control the tide of pleasure that threatened to drown her. So, so long, she thought helplessly as she writhed under Damen’s hungrily sucking mouth.
