Chapter Twenty-Seven

EMMY

I leaned into Ven’s side, putting my arm around his waist. He smelled wonderful. I couldn’t wait to take him home. It was our one-year wedding anniversary today, and I was going to give him a gift he would remember for a long time. The new lingerie I was wearing was only the first part.

Distracted by Ven’s delicious scent, I had missed whatever Morley was talking about. We were part of a small crowd of archeologists in a beautiful new building. Morley was making a speech and would soon cut a ribbon opening the Morley Davidson Wellness Center featuring the Silver Mestolo of Zelia. Modern technologically-based security heavily guarded the ladle. No more rolling stone wheels.

The plan was for the center to treat terminally ill patients who were incurable. People could take a drink from the ladle, then get educated on how to keep themselves healthy. A wellness center had been Morley’s dream since he first learned about the ladle. From the time he started on the adventure to heal his brother, he had focused on this goal.

Surprisingly, Abel was at his side. He was shocked by his near-death experience and went through a change of heart. He apologized and asked for Morley’s forgiveness. Reconciling with his brother made Morley happier than I had ever seen him before. He loved his brother and was deeply hurt by their schism.

I was happy for my mentor and planned on working with him for a long time. We had all taken a drink from the ladle, of course. We expected the single drink to increase our life span by thirty years.

Ven had found a purpose in his life. He decided to go back to school and was taking courses in archeology. He had discovered a new interest. Once he graduated, we would work side-by-side, hunting down artifacts and learning from the wisdom of the ancients.

In the ceremony, Morley was cutting the ribbon. Ven squeezed my hand, and we smiled at each other, briefly releasing our hands so we could clap. He leaned down to whisper in my ear. “I can’t wait to get you home.” His breath sent tingles down to my core.

“Oh?” I tried to play innocent. “Why would that be?”

“I know what you’re wearing under your dress.”

I blushed and bit my lip, trying not to smile. “I have a present for you.” I gave him a coy look.

“As long as it’s not something dusty and old, I’ll take it. I’ve had enough of that to last a lifetime.” He grinned at me.

“I wouldn’t give you an ancient artifact for our anniversary. This gift is much wetter and is definitely alive.”

His eyes darkened, and I drew in a breath at the sight of his desire.

“I’ll search for that treasure any day, my love.” He gave me an intense look that set my core on fire. We made our way to congratulate Morley. Now that the ceremony was over, we were ready to go home. Neither of us could wait to celebrate our first year of marriage.

We hurried home, both of us on edge. As soon as we entered the bedroom, he pushed me up against the door and started kissing all over my body. Soon we were both so wound up that we couldn’t wait another minute. He quickly stripped off my dress and made quick work of his clothes.

He paused for a moment when he saw my bright red lingerie. It was a red satin bra and matching panties. “Those look fantastic, but right now, they’ve got to go.”

I didn’t care as long as he fucked me immediately. I could wear them another time. In fact, I didn’t have to wait for him to undress me. He was naked already, and I pushed him onto his back on the bed. His eyebrows flicked up. I usually let him take the lead, but not this time. I needed him. I was going to take what I wanted.

He moved back until he was against the headboard. He watched me slowly undo the clasp of my bra and pull it off. I heard his breath catch when my breasts came into view. Then I slid out of my panties and dropped them on the floor, crawling over to him, ready to take him and make him mine.

I had already soaked my underwear, so I knew I was ready. I positioned myself over him and slowly took his cock into my body. He filled me, and I closed my eyes in ecstasy at the sensation of being penetrated deep inside my core. I sank completely, covering the last inch of his cock and making our pelvises flush.

I couldn’t speak. I felt my orgasm building already, and I had barely moved. I raised myself up and let him push back inside. It felt amazing. I rode up and down on him, increasing my pleasure. He rubbed against my G-spot in a way that drove me crazy.

“That’s good, Emmy. Ride me.” Ven moved his hands to my hips. He leaned forward and took one of my nipples into his hot mouth. I gasped at the feeling and started to rock faster. He sucked hard, then switched to the other side. That was enough.

I came hard, moaning and contracting around him. He held my hips still and drove up into me several times before he stiffened and emptied himself into me. I wrapped my arms around him and held on as shudders wracked my body. The bliss continued until I finally stopped moving and collapsed with my head on his shoulder, feeling spent.

After a while, he whispered to me. “You’re my treasure, and I’m glad I found you. I love you.”

“I love you, too.” I had a lazy grin on my face. He kissed me until I forgot treasure hunting, archeology, and everything except for him.

“Now that you’ve found me, what are you going to do with me?” I gazed into his eyes.

“I’m going to hold you and never let you go.”
