Page 70 of A Promise Through Time

Out of breath and incredibly turned on by this man, Tina nodded her head. “I did.” She held her breath as his finger traced her lips. She closed her eyes as her lips parted, begging for his kiss.

“Do ye wish me to kiss ye?” His seductive growl was almost her undoing.

“Yes,” was her breathless answer.

She waited, eyes closed, to feel his lips on hers, but instead he asked, “How much do ye wish it?” He’d lowered his head so that he whispered into her ear.

“Please, just kiss me,” she insisted.

Donal’s deep chuckle reverberated through her as his lips met hers, his tongue found an opening and plundered her mouth. Their tongues continued to tangle as Donal moved closer, helped by Tina pulling him down on top of her. She lifted her hips as one leg wrapped around his back.

The fact that they were both soaking wet from their romp in the stream didn’t make any difference to her. She snaked a hand under his t-shirt and relished the feel of taut muscle beneath her fingers. She began to undo the button on his jeans, feeling the hardness of him ready to burst forth. She wanted him and she didn’t care about anything else. She’d made her decision andnow she wanted to seal their union here on the banks of this stream.

Rain began to plop on the ground around them. Tina wasn’t surprised that they hadn’t noticed the dark clouds rolling in. Why would they? They’d both been completely engrossed in the pleasure of this moment.

“We should get inside,” Donal said as he grabbed the plaid and basket.

They hurried inside just as a loud clap of thunder reverberated overhead followed by a bolt of lightning that lit the dark sky.

Tina was shivering partly from the chill of the rain on her skin and partly from the sensual thoughts running through her head.

Donal got a fire started in the hearth before turning back to Tina. “You’re chilled,” he said, pulling her into his arms and rubbing her back, which sent waves of heat through her entire body. She melted into him. He seemed to notice because his hands stopped rubbing and simply held her close, his chin resting on her head. Tina could hear his ragged breathing matching her own. They stood perfectly still, each afraid to move, afraid to break the spell that had been woven by the sudden rainstorm.

“Donal.” Tina’s soft voice implored him to look at her.

He moved ever so slightly back, still holding onto her. He tipped his head, his eyes searching hers. He slowly dipped his head so that his lips were near hers, not touching her, but asking her if she wanted more. No words were spoken. This silent question passed between them and when Tina closed her eyes and nodded, Donal’s lips tenderly kissed hers. One soft kiss, followed by another, followed by another. Tina responded, still shivering, but this time the rain had nothing to do with it. It waspure adrenaline running through her veins causing her to quiver at his touch.

Donal tried to speak, but Tina put a finger to his lips. She didn’t need to hear his promises. She knew him for who he truly was. He was so much more than she had ever imagined. He didn’t need to tell her he cared. There was no need for apologies or for him to speak to her of love. He had said those words, she just had to believe it. She knew her own heart and despite all the time she’d spent trying to distance herself from him, she found she had fallen in love with him. For the first time in her life, Tina was ready to let this moment be all that mattered. There was no thinking of tomorrow, there was only right now, here in this little cabin during a thunderstorm that she would remember forever.

Tina moved away from Donal and began to remove her wet clothes. He didn’t venture from the spot where she’d left him. Instead, his eyes followed her every move and when she stood there completely naked, he was in front of her in one long stride, gathering her into his arms and kissing her again. This time with more passion and purpose. His hands caressed her back, sliding down each side of her spine to her buttocks. Their calloused roughness on her skin gave her goosebumps.

“You’re so soft.” His voice was a rough whisper in her ear, just before he nibbled her earlobe and then kissed her neck. His kisses alone were better than any sex she’d ever had.

Tina gave in to them, relaxing her body and letting him hold her up with strong, sinewy arms. Small satisfied mewls escaped her throat inspiring him to continue down her chest to her breasts, where he stopped and lavished them with attention. She ached for his touch, her skin burning with desire.

“Come,” he said, taking her hand and drawing her close to the hearth. “I wish to see ye.”

The light from the flames cast a golden glow upon them as Donal removed his own clothes.

Wanting to slow things down and enjoy every moment to the fullest, Tina reached into the basket for a bottle of wine and a glass. She poured some for the both of them.

“There’s just the one glass,” she said as she held it out for him to take.

“Aye, and there’s just one bed.” He lifted her into his arms and placed her in the center of it. He took the glass from her then put it to her lips. She took a sip and as he pulled the glass away, some ran down her chin and onto her chest. His tongue followed the trail of the wine and continued on a path further and further down until he came to the vee between her thighs. She quivered as he thoroughly explored her body with both his hands and his mouth.

Her hands tingled as she caught the strands of his hair between her fingers and then let them slip through. She was surprised by the silky, softness of it. He glanced up at her as her tongue darted out to moisten her lips and in an instant his mouth was on hers, strong hands holding her head motionless. Firm lips played across hers, leaving her breathless, but she was elated to drown in his kiss. Pushing her hair out of the way, his lips found the sensitive spot on her neck and she shivered, encouraging him to search for more of those tender places where a mere touch led to involuntary moans of pleasure.

Stopping for a moment, Donal refilled the wine glass. He sipped, his eyes never leaving her face as he watched, teasing her and leaving her wanting more.

“Don’t stop, please.” Her throaty whisper implored him.

“I’m nae done with ye yet, love.” he replied, a wicked smile crossing his lips.

He took the wine that was left in his glass and poured it with deliberateness between her breasts, then ran a finger up between them to catch the rivulets before placing it in her mouth. She sucked the fruity liquid from his finger. He withdrewit to trace her lips once again before assailing her with even more passionate kisses. The hardness of his cock rested between her thighs, filling her with anticipation. She opened her legs for him, but he only teased her opening. Tina reached for him and stroked. His sharp intake of breath filled her with satisfaction, egging her onward. A sensual smile appeared on her lips just before she wrapped them around his shaft, wanting to pleasure him as much as he had her. It was his turn to tangle his hands in her hair, pulling slightly. His breathing quickened as she rose above him, placing herself over his manhood and rocking back and forth. His hands reached for her breasts, pinching and pulling her nipples. As her pace quickened, his hands moved to her hips where he guided her movements. The heat of their love making built inside of her, stoking the fire into all consuming flames of desire. Tina rode him harder and faster, all the while wanting to reach her climax and yet wanting the experience to last forever. It seemed she had no choice. Her walls pulsed and spasmed around him as they both reached the destination they sought.
