Chapter 25
Nahash should’ve been worried, but he just couldn’t manage it. He felt so happy there wasn’t any room for the concern their situation should’ve caused. As he carried his mate to their bed, then set her on her feet and stripped off her clothes, exposing every inch of her beautiful body to his hungry gaze, he barely spared a thought for how they’d yet again been distracted from their exploration of this place.
Instead, he focused on exploring Cass, enjoying the dips and swells of her body, the gently rounded breasts with their firm nipples that begged for his lips. He gladly obliged, sucking first one, then the other gently, so as not to catch her with his teeth.
While he lavished attention on her breasts, his hands skated down her firm body. Then he lifted her up onto the bed, pushing her back until she was lying down, her arms stretching above her head as she gripped the comforter—knowing what was coming.
He teased her, prolonging that moment they both eagerly anticipated. Slowly, he trailed his lips and tongue down her belly, noting every freckle and mole that marked her skin, making her unique and perfectly his.
Soon, he would take her highly sensitive clit in his mouth, sucking on it until his mate shuddered in climax. For now, he wanted to tease them both, trailing his lips tantalizingly close to that well of heady scent and taste that drove him wild. Because he’d already been sated, he wasn’t fully engorged, so didn’t feel the desperation that would have him rushing things. He could take his time with her body, bringing her to trembling pleasure before fulfilling them both.
By the time he made good on the promise in his touches and closed his mouth over her, Cass was close to climax. He could feel the tension in her body beneath his tail, which had coiled around and over her as it usually did during their lovemaking. He liked to be entwined with her, her warmth heating his blood as his scales slid over her naked skin. He especially liked it when she orgasmed, feeling her shaking and shuddering against his tail as his tongue lashed her to the peak and then took her over it.
When they’d first mated, she’d been much quieter, holding back her cries of pleasure even though he’d felt her passion in every muscle of her body. Now, she screamed in ecstasy without inhibition, the sounds like the most beautiful music to him. He loved to make her sing that symphony, over and over again, until her passionate cries were enough to make him climax all on their own.
He held off on doing just that only with extreme willpower, knowing that prolonging that moment when both his shafts spilled their seed would be even sweeter and more intense from the anticipation.
He dipped his tongue inside her convulsing passage after licking her until she came, reveling in the flavor and scent of her as his body shivered from the euphoric rush that flooded his brain with each delve of his tongue inside her. He could do this all day, drinking her in until he died of starvation. He’d die happy. Blissfully happy.
Cass didn’t let him do it for long. She had her own eagerness, and after far too short a time, she sat up, pushing his coils off her chest and waist so she could lean towards him.
She rubbed her palm over his scaled head, speaking to him in a husky whisper that had both his shafts jumping. “Come up here. I want to taste you now.”
He obliged, because he couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Soon, he was lying on the bed as she crawled along his body, her gaze trailing up his tail to his groin, where his shafts eagerly jutted upwards.
She stroked her fingers along his tail below them, leaning over to kiss his tight abdominal muscles, which clenched with anticipation as she returned the teasing he’d given her earlier.
After what seemed like an eternity, she finally closed her hand around one of his shafts and began to stroke him, gently at first, then pumping harder and faster as his tail began to lash and writhe. He wanted to coil it around her, but didn’t want to distract her from what she was doing to him.
Then she lowered her head and licked her tongue along the tip of his other shaft, that damp swipe over the soft spines of his sensitive head causing an almost electric feeling in his spine that was akin to when he used his psionic ability—only a thousand times more pleasurable.
She hadn’t done that to him before, though he’d seen her lick her lips while gazing at his shafts, and she’d made suggestive comments that let him know she was considering it. It felt so much better that he’d imagined it would as she once again tongued him. Then she closed her lips over the tip, continuing to tease it with her tongue while it was snugly fitted inside her hot mouth.
With her mouth on him, sucking and licking and her hand closed around his other shaft, it took everything he had not to spill his seed right then and there. It was his turn to clutch the comforter and try to control himself. He let her torment him for so long that he feared he would go crazy from trying to hold off his orgasm. When she finally lifted her head to grin at him, he shuddered at the hungry look in her eyes.
“Go ahead and come. We have all night, and my body could use a break.” She then lowered her head back to him, sucking even harder on him as he bit off the hiss that threatened to escape him.
Knowing her intention now, he allowed himself to relax into the experience and his orgasm quickly peaked. He said her name in a ragged voice, warning her to pull away.
Cass didn’t heed his warning, or didn’t care, because she didn’t lift her mouth. Instead, she swallowed his seed when he came, while still gently stroking her hand over his other shaft, which grew slick with the come that had spurted out of the tip and now dripped down his shaft to coat her fingers.
His mate made him happier than he had ever been. She never tormented him or took advantage of her power over him, and she gave him pleasure without demanding anything in return. He didn’t know where they really were in space or time, but as long as he had her, he didn’t care. If they had died and had gone to some sort of afterlife, at least they’d gone together. With her, wherever he went felt like paradise.
