Dragon Sword (The Dragon Lord’s Bride #2)

Chapter 4

CHAPTER FOUR

We sat at the small table in the center of Alisa’s quaint home and were each poured a bowl of soup by our hostess. The delicious scent of herbs and spices filled the air and made my stomach growl again. Will pushed my bowl a little closer to me and offered me my spoon.

“You sound like you need this,” he teased.

I glared at him and snatched the spoon from him. “It’s been a long time since we ate, okay?”

Will couldn’t deny that or his own hunger as we both dove into the meal. There were doughy bread rolls as a side and some fruit and vegetables. Everything was perfectly sweet and juicy, and in a wonder hour, I pushed my empty bowl away, it having been filled twice in that time. Will still munched on a piece of bread and Alisa had taken up the empty dishes to the kitchen where a sink awaited them.

She returned and stood over us. “Well? Not bad, eh?”

I patted my stomach and smiled up at her. “Perfect.”

Will raised a glass to her and nodded. “As ever.”

Alisa puffed out her chest a little before she took up our bowls. “Then get warmed by the fire while I do the dishes.”

“I’d rather help,” I insisted as I picked up my plate and stood.

“No need for that, Rose,” she argued as she snatched my plate from me and whisked it all away into the kitchen.

I made to follow her, but Will caught my hand. I looked down and he shook his head. “This is a fight you won’t win, my love.” He drew me down onto his lap and wrapped his arms around me. His eyes shimmered with a wicked light that made me blush. “Wouldn’t you rather stay here with me?”

I had to tamp down a smile. “You’re really bold, you know that?”

He pecked a kiss on my cheek. “Do you not prefer me that way?”

I squirmed atop his legs. “I prefer a more comfortable seat.”

“Then you shall have it.”

Will lifted me into his arms and carried me toward the hall. I frowned at him. “What are you doing? Let me down!”

“We’ll be in the bath if you need anything,” Will called to our hostess.

Alisa stuck her head out of the kitchen. “Mind you not to splash about too much! The flowers are not fond of the hot water!”

Will slipped us out through the rear door without reply and I inhaled the sweet scent of the flowers of which Alisa cared so much about. I was carried over to the bath and set down on my feet. Will began to undress himself and habit made me blush and spin around so my back faced him.

I heard him step up to me and he set his hands on my shoulders. His soft voice wafted over my ear. “Aren’t you joining me?”

My red cheeks felt like they were on fire. “You’re really getting bold, you know that?”

He leaned down and his lips brushed against my cheek. “Do you not like that?”

A warm shiver ran through me and I took a quick breath before I answered. “A-aren’t we supposed to be taking a bath?”

Will chuckled as one of his hands slid down my side and wrapped around my own hand. “We are, aren’t we? Did you want to go first?”

I swallowed the growing lump in my throat. “S-sure.”

I regretted when he drew his hand away from mine. “Then I’ll sit on the bench and wait for you.”

He passed me and took a seat on the bench. Facing me. I crossed my arms over my chest and frowned at him. “Aren’t you forgetting something?”

Will shook his head. “I don’t believe I-oh. I am.” He stood and walked over to me where he plucked his shirt from the ground. Will lifted the clothing in front of my face and grinned. “My shirt.” He took up his place on the bench. Still facing me.

I tapped my foot on the ground and spun one of my fingers pointed downward in a circle. “Turn around.”

Will sighed but obliged me. “You are rather shy for someone who’s seen me naked several times before.”

“Yeah, well, we’re at a different place now,” I replied as I quickly shed my clothing.

I used a small step stool to climb into the tub. A sigh escaped my lips the moment my body hit the warm water. I sank to the bottom and leaned my back against the frame. The surface bobbed against the top of my breasts and I closed my eyes as the steam floated around me, soothing my muscles.

A soft padding of feet on the wooden step stool told me something was up. I opened my eyes in time to watch Will dip his leg into the water. A yelp escaped me and I scurried away to give him room.

Will splashed into the water and sighed as well. He floated against the opposite wall of the tub and smiled at me. “Do you mind some company? I’m rather filthy myself.”

My cheeks were bright red and I tried not to look too closely at his exposed chest. “I-it’s fine.”

“What’s fine?” he teased as his eyes danced with mischief.

I swallowed the lump in my throat. “E-everything’s fine.”

He stretched out an arm and grasped my hand. “Join me.”

I didn’t have much choice as he tugged me over to him. My back floated against the wall of the tub beside him and he looped his arm around my waist to keep me from moving away. His hand was dangerously close to my naked breast.

“Comfortable?” he teased.

I squirmed in his grasp and a low growl emanated from his throat. I froze and whipped my head up. Will drew me closer against his side and his bright eyes studied me with hunger. My breast pressed against his muscled chest and a soft gasp came out of me.

Will leaned down and pressed his lips against mine. I felt like I was on fire as a sensual heat flowed from our joined lips and down my body. He wrapped his other arm around me and drew me closer against him, deepening our embrace.

My lungs demanded air and I drew away panting. My chest heaved up and down as his bright red eyes stared down at me. I knew what he wanted. I wanted it, too.

He captured my lips again and this time I pressed closer to him. One of his hands slid up and cupped my breast in his palm. I squirmed as he began to massage my fleshy, sensitive mound, eliciting tiny mews of approval from me.

Will wrapped his arms around me and pushed me backward until my back met the wall. His kisses became more feverish as he pressed his body against mine. I shuddered beneath him as his hands eagerly explored my body, his fingers brushing against my breasts and teasing my nipples.

His manhood was already thick and throbbing. I reached down and wrapped my hand around his stiff shaft. He broke away from our kiss and leaned his head back. His eyes closed and his breath came out in sharp pants as I massaged him.

Will clenched his teeth and a low rumbling came from his throat. He wrapped me in a tight hug and pressed the tip of his manhood against my opening. I gasped as he slid inside me, his thick shaft stretching my walls and rubbing against my bundle of sensitive nerves. A wave of sensual heat flowed through me and I clung to him as my body shuddered.

He pressed me tight against the wall as he drew out and pushed back in. Each penetration was a long, careful stroke that increased the intense heat inside me. I clung to him as his throbbing manhood pleasured me. Our pants joined in unison to create a harmony of lust as he thrust faster and deeper into me. Wonderful, exhilarating pleasure began to build inside me.

I shut my eyes as a deep consuming desire took hold. My mews grew louder and more desperate as I pushed my hips against his, desperate for the climax I knew was coming. My whole body was awash in a carnal desire to come and feel my mate come with me.

“Oh God,” I whispered as I clutched onto his sweat-soaked body. “Oh God, yes. More. More.”

My pitiful pleas were heard as he quickened his pace. Each penetration caused a tiny tremor of orgasm deep within me that grew and grew. So close. Oh God, how I wanted this.

My eyes flew open and I arched my back as I came. It was an explosion of intense ecstasy that made my whole body shudder. I let out a cry of delight as my walls squeezed around his thick shaft. He grunted and thrust into me one last time, spilling his seed deep into my womb.

We froze, each relishing the sensual delight. After a long moment Will drew me tight against his chest and turned us around so his back leaned against the wall. He held me in his lap and I leaned my cheek against his shoulder. Our pants cooled like our passions and I soon found myself snuggling against him, a wide smile on my face.

He lay his chin against the top of my head and stroked the back of my head. “I love you.”

I wrapped my arms around him. “I love you, too.”
