Something primal flares in her eyes and she pushes me off of her and stands in front of me. She reaches for the ties in the back of her dress, but I whip her around and allow myself the pleasure of undressing her. The tips of my fingers graze across her hot skin and my breath tickles the nape of her neck as I allow the gown to slip down to the floor. I shudder when I realize she's not wearing a bra and press my lips down on her left shoulder. I reach around front and cup her breasts, relishing the moan that escapes her. Her head falls back against my chest and her cheeks redden when I put my mouth to her ear.
"Tell me if you want me to stop."
She shimmies her panties over her hips, allowing them to slip down to the floor joining her dress pooled at her feet. "Does it look like I want you to stop?"
"Shit," I groan, my hardened length pressing against her bare backside.
"I'm yours, Atlas," she says softly. "And you're mine."
I turn her around to face me, allowing myself a moment to examine every inch of her glorious, naked body. Her nipples harden under my hungry gaze.
"You're the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."
"Why am I the only one naked?" She reaches for my pants and this time, I don't attempt to stop her.
Her fingers work quickly and within seconds, she's pulled my pants down. I pump my length twice and her desire for me is clear. She backpedals until the back of her knees hit the mattress. She scoots back and spreads her legs wide, beckoning me to claim her with my cock.
"Fuck me like it means something," she says, and that's all the motivation I need to kick the rest of my clothing off and get on top of her.
I put my tip against her opening and with a reaffirming nod from her, I push myself inside of her. She's tight and warm and takes all of me like she was made for me. She hisses softly, but when I attempt to pull out, she digs her fingertips into my back, holding me in place.
"I want you," she whispers. "I need you," she pleads.
"I don't want to hurt you," I kiss her forehead.
She places her hands on either side of my face and smiles. "You won't."
Gently, I pull in and out, in and out, until she loosens up. When she thrusts up to meet me, I know it's alright to quicken my pace. Not wanting to come alone, I circle her clit with my thumb. She moans loudly, spurring me to slam into her harder.
"You. Are. Mine." I say between thrusts. "Say it."
"I am yours," she cries out. "Atlas!"
She arches her back and shudders when she comes for a second time, clenching down on my cock. The feeling of her pulsing around me propels me over the edge, and I groan as I fill her. For a moment, we ride out our pleasure together, letting our ragged breathing come back to a sense of normalcy. I pull out of her and plop down beside her, tucking her against me. I could stay here with her like this for the rest of my life and die a happy man.
As she lazily swirls her fingers across my chest, I'm worried about what is running through her mind, especially since she's remained silent since we finished. Even though I'm scared of what she might say, I muster the courage to ask, "What are you thinking right now?" I finger through her long hair, hoping her answer won't shatter me into a million pieces.
She takes a minute, but finally says, "I would give all of this up for you and not regret it for a moment."
I hold her tighter, letting loose a breath I had been holding, and kiss her temple. "No matter what you decide," I whisper, "my heart will always belong to you."
She props herself up on an elbow, glancing down at me with a seriousness that makes my heart stop. "I choose you, Atlas Harland. From now until the day I take my last breath, I choose you."
I drag my thumb across her bottom lip and smile up at her. "From now until the end of my days, I am yours, and you are mine."
She places her hand against my cheek and asks, "Will you stay the night with me?"
"I would burn this entire world for you, if you asked it of me."
And for the first time in my life, I don't feel alone.
Thirty-Nine
Shaye
This is the third time I've woken up next to Atlas and even though we didn't get much sleep last night, the jolt of excitement that shoots through me has me wide awake. I listen to his soft breathing and the rhythmic beating of his heart and feel peace wash over me. This is exactly where we should be, in each other's arms.
Although I would love to stay in bed with him for the rest of the day, I made plans to meet my mother for a morning flight. Reluctantly, I roll away from him only to remember I'm still naked and need to hurry up and get my dragon leathers on. As quietly as possible, because I don't want to disturb him, I get ready to leave. Before slipping out, I scribble a quick note letting him know where I'll be and asking him to join me when he wakes up.
