leaving little deliciously sore spots behind; sometimes she felt his teeth, and all they did was add spice to her sensations.
She thrashed and whimpered under him, returning his kisses enthusiastically, her hands sliding over his bare skin and then down, running her fingertips under the waistband of his breeches. His belly flexed against her knuckles, and he let out an uncomfortable grunt.
She slid her fingers down his tented groin, caressing him through the fabric, and he grunted again, squirming a little. “Oh...looks like there’s no room for you in these any more...let’s fix this.” Her words almost sounded seductive, even though she had to keep fighting attacks of nerves. Am I doing this right? she wondered awkwardly as she started unbuttoning his breeches.
He froze--then reached down eagerly to help her, shoving the leather down and kicking it off. His erection pressed tautly against her and she circled it gently with her hands, exploring him with growing boldness. The skin there surprised her with how smooth and soft it was. He hissed with pleasure and thrust slowly in her hands, his eyes widening as he slid against her palms and belly. “Oh, that’s good...I…” He went quiet, panting, tremors starting in his body that intensified with every movement of his hips.
He moaned into her shoulder, then nipped at her collarbone--and gently pushed her hands away from his erection. “Not like that,” he breathed, having to take a moment to control himself. His shivering eased off, and he looked down at her, his eyes luminous in the dark. They hooded, and then he started to kiss his way down her body.
“What are you doing--!” His mouth fastened onto her breast, tongue swirling, and her voice broke up into a low cry. But he wasn’t done. His hand slid down below the soft curve of her belly and started toying with her, rubbing and kneading.
She gasped, her own eyes widening as he fell into a slow but gradually building rhythm. He slid his mouth over to her other nipple, never slowing or stopping his hand’s movements against her sex. It felt good...so good...and then better , the same movement somehow building up pleasure in her body like an electric charge. “Oh...oh Taran--I--”
He chuckled against her skin as her hips started to rise and fall in time to his hand’s movements. It was reflex...and hunger for more...and then desperation, as she ground against him and felt her heart pounding hard in her chest. “Taran... Taran...oh God--!”
Her breath rushed out in long, gasping cries as her body spasmed, unfamiliar waves of ecstasy rolling through her. Her mind cleared of everything but the pure joy of a single, animal need, one she hadn’t even been fully aware of before now, finally realized--and satisfied. She collapsed and panted up at him, amazed and delighted.
His body was a shadow in the dark to her, just the curve of his shoulder showing in the dim light from the cave mouth. That and his luminous eyes, which barely blinked as they stared down at her. His chest heaved, breath hissing with need, and she felt him take himself in hand and then press lightly at the entrance to her sex. She lifted her hips, and he gently worked the head inside, even as he started to tremble again.
“Come on,” she purred, arms sliding around him. She reached down and gripped his ass, having forgotten shyness in that explosive experience just moments before. He grunted in surprise...and then squinted with pleasure and thrust forward.
He was big, and she untouched; it hurt, but her climax had relaxed her, and she pushed back against him, determined to take him in fully. His eyes narrowed to slits; he shuddered, and then frantically nuzzled at her neck and lips, as if he was too undone to remember how to kiss properly.
She wrapped her legs around him, catching his mouth with hers and writhing seductively under him. He gasped, going still. Then slowly, as if finally allowing himself to give in to his own
