Ella raised a brow. “Is that so? What do you have in mind that I will need strength for.”
“So many things,” he replied, pulling out a chair for her. “You’ll need it to deal with my family on a regular basis for a start.”
“Were they arguing again?” she asked, cutting up a chicken breast.
“They are always arguing about something. Taran wants you to look for the mage because you can find him when we can’t. I wasn’t agreeable to the idea.”
“I’m not a fan either. His magic feels disgusting, and I don’t want to search for it, but I will if I have to. I don’t feel an epic responsibility to the worlds like you all do. That doesn’t mean I’m going to let those monsters fuck it up for everyone,” Ella replied. She paused, a forkful of food halfway to her mouth. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Because you know it’s going to hurt, and you’re still willing to do it. It’s a special kind of bravery,” Mananan said truthfully. “Eat your dinner so I can take you back to bed.”
Ella laughed and then shifted in her seat. “We might have to go a bit easier next time. I’m starting to feel it.”
“I hurt you? Why didn’t—”
“Oh my god, I’m not hurt, Manan. I’m tender and have a bit of carpet burn. There’s a difference. If I had wanted you to stop, I would’ve said that,” Ella said, eyes flashing. “I know you all carry on about how little I am, but I’m not made of glass. I’m short, for fuck’s sake, but I’m strong. I can handle you.”
Mananan laughed. He couldn’t help it. “Ruffled your feathers a bit, have we? You are short, but you are perfect, and baby, I know you can handle me.”
Ella’s cheeks flushed. “Good. Don’t you forget it.”
Mananan made sure that she had eaten everything off her plate before he carried her back to bed. He knew tomorrow was going to be full of battle and chaos—it was inevitable—so he wanted the night curled up around her. Peace. That was what she gave him.
Mananan placed her down on the covers and found the oil he’d brought from Faerie.
“If you use some of this, the soreness will vanish. Before you argue, I know you aren’t hurt. I just don’t want you suffering unnecessarily,” he said, offering her the small bottle.
Ella’s eyes went wide and innocent as she moved her shirt up to reveal she wasn’t wearing any underwear. “I don’t know how to apply it. Will you show me?”
Mananan grinned. “Look at you being a cheeky minx. I like that I bring out this side of you.”
“I’m just a touched starved girl who needs to feast while the feasting is so good,” she replied, biting her bottom lip. It was the bite that did him in.
“Don’t worry, baby. I’m not letting you go any time soon.” Mananan coated his fingers in oil and placed his hand over her pussy. He smeared the oil over her clit, loving it when her breath caught. “I’m going to take such good care of you, you’re never going to want to leave this bed.” He pressed two fingers inside of her and stroked her deep. Ella let out a helpless little sound that drove him crazy.
He kissed her softly before removing his fingers, adding more oil and thrusting them back into her. She gripped his arm, her eyes losing focus.
“Feeling better, baby?” he asked, nipping at her bottom lip.
“Oh god, so good. Don’t stop,” she replied breathily.
Mananan grinned, thanking the gods for giving him such a responsive, lusty mate. “Not until you tell me to. I’m going to spoil you so fucking much.” He curled his fingers inside of her and pressed his thumb down over her clit at the time. Ella let out a shuddering gasp, her back bending like a bow as her sweet release coated his fingers.
Mananan pulled his fingers free from her and licked them clean. “More, baby?”
“Yes. I want to be on top of you,” she said urgently.
“Thank the gods.” Mananan had never gotten rid of his clothes so quickly. Ella pulled off her shirt and climbed on top of him. She traced her fingers over his scars and tattoos, a dreamy smile appearing on her face.
“All mine,” she said, and his heart clenched.
“Every part,” he confirmed.
Ella’s smile went wicked, and she lowered herself onto his dick in one quick slide.
“Fuuuccckk,” Mananan groaned, her wet heat gripping him so tight he felt dizzy.
“Do I feel good?” she asked, staring down at him. There was the slightest uncertainty in her voice.
