Setting her feet on his shoulders, she didn’t realize what he was about to do until she felt his warm tongue touch her most sensitive area. She cried out in surprise before settling into the very desirable feeling.

As she felt that need for more, his finger moved into her body, stroking and searching until he found what he was looking for. A place that had escaped Maisy’s own touch for all these years.

Stars took up her vision as all the air left her lungs. She seemed to hover for a moment, and then another before everything focused in on that one place of her body.

His tongue continued to tease the feeling on from the outside as she floated and pulsed.

“Beautiful,” Iain said. She couldn’t imagine what she must look like, her hair seemed to be everywhere and her head was thrown back. No doubt she was splotched and sweaty, but she couldn’t think to care at the moment.

“Are you ready, Madalene?” Iain kissed across her stomach and breasts, taking a moment to stop and offer attention to both before returning finally to her lips.

“I am.”

“You know what is to happen?”

“Yes. A bit of pain first, but it will be better after the sting fades.”

He kissed her chin and then the bottom of her jaw as she felt his hardness lurch once more against her thigh. That was not where it was supposed to be so she reached down to take him in hand and guide him, but he pulled away breathing very had.

“I’m sorry.”

“I just need a moment to get myself under control.”

“Was I supposed to have remained in control? I don’t think I even tried to be honest.”

He smiled.

“No. You were perfect. I only want to hold enough control so you might do that again, before I do.”

“Oh. That is most generous of you.”

He shook his head and chuckled.

“Nay. It is not generous at all. If I were not exhausted, I might have you do that several more times through the night. But it has been a long day and I want you too badly.”

He seemed to be sorry for it, but wanting her so badly was something that thrilled her through and through. It made that longing in her body return.

“Then you should not be made to wait.”

He settled between her legs and she let him line his body with hers instead of helping. He moved it back and forth as if testing the area where she was slick with need. Then he pushed and kept pushing until he was completely inside her.

As she’d expected there had been a twinge of discomfort as he’d filled her, but after a few heavy breaths she wanted him to move.

By the third thrust of his body into hers, all pain was gone and forgotten as if it had never existed at all. She raised her hips in time with his movements so he could land deeper and deeper with each rush.

And then the throbbing feeling crested yet again. She might have called out his name, she knew she grasped him tight with her legs so he’d not move from that spot, and then just as the sensation waned the smallest degree, she felt his own throbbing and warmth filling her as he gasped and crushed her to him just as tightly.

And then they slumped back to the mattress, each of them gasping for breath. His fingers of one hand twined in her hair as the other splayed over her stomach.

She was forever changed. She’d wanted this experience so she might know what it was like. But now that she knew, however was she supposed to go the rest of her life without it. How would he?

Perhaps it was not the same for him. She wanted to ask, but despite his plans not to fall asleep immediately after the act concluded, when she turned to him his eyes were closed and his breathing had slowed into a calming cadence.

She smiled up at the shadows across the ceiling and thought of all the questions she had for him. The most important being…

When could they do that again?

At the sound of a door opening and heavy footsteps, Iain started awake and put his hand out to protect Maisy, but she was not there. The intruder was only Hodge.
