the bed, her breath coming in gasps and pants, her head twisting and body writhing under his ministration as she struggled toward the pleasure he offered. And then she stiffened, her body going as hard as a board, with just the faintest tremor before beginning to convulse and shudder as she found her release.
Chapter 13
Evina’s heart was still pounding a rapid tattoo, her breathing still labored, when she opened her eyes and realized that Conran had shifted up next to her on the bed. She was now lying with her head on his chest, his arms around her and his hands moving soothingly over her back and side. She had absolutely no recollection of his moving, or of how she’d got where she was, and she just didn’t care. Her body was still pulsing with the pleasure he’d given her, and Evina closed her eyes and decided she’d simply enjoy the afterglow while her body calmed.
That never really happened though. Just when Evina was starting to be able to breathe normally again, Conran’s hand stopped its soothing movements and slid up to cup her breast. When he began to palm and caress again, she moaned and tilted her head up. He immediately claimed her mouth in a kiss that told her he wasn’t done yet.
Evina stilled briefly, confusion sliding through her. The last two times he’d shown her pleasure, Conran had left her immediately afterward. This time he was stirring her passions again, his tongue thrusting and his hands beginning to move over her body, stoking the fires that had just been banked.
Groaning, Evina stretched against him, her body shifting and arching as it prepared itself for a second round. This time Conran never stopped kissing her. He continued to plunder her mouth even as his hands made quick work of removing the gown and tunic that had gathered around her waist, dragging both down over her hips and then off. Once he’d tossed them aside, his hands were free to slide over her body unhindered, and they did, seeming to find and caress every patch of skin they could before one delved between her legs so that his fingers could dance over her eager flesh. This time when Evina instinctively tried to close her legs, Conran shifted over her, one arm bracing his weight and keeping him from crushing her as his hips lowered to keep her legs from closing so that his fingers could continue their sweet torture unhindered.
Evina instinctively wrapped her legs around his hips, her heels pressing into his behind as she shifted her hips into his touch. When he began to press into her, she knew it wasn’t his fingers. They were still dancing around the nub of her excitement and driving her crazy, but it felt so good she didn’t protest. Instead, she shifted her hips, pressing up and egging him on until he filled her fully.
Conran stopped then, and started to break their kiss, but Evina caught her hands in his hair and refused to let him. She didn’t want this to stop.
After a brief hesitation, Conran gave in to her demand and began to move again, withdrawing from her clinging body and then sliding into her again. Evina never noticed when his fingers stopped caressing, and it was instead his staff rubbing against her as he slid in and out. She was too caught up in chasing the pleasure just out of reach, and when she grew frustrated by how slow his strokes were, she unhooked her legs from around his hips, drew her knees up, pressed her feet to the bed and took over the motion, thrusting her hips up into him at the pace she wanted.
Much to Evina’s relief, Conran didn’t try to stop her or make her go at his pace. He held himself still, and continued to kiss her as she used him to get where she wanted to go. And then she was there. Pleasure crashed down over her and she was crying out into his mouth as her body began to shudder and shake, her muscles involuntarily clasping and squeezing him.
Evina was vaguely aware when Conran stiffened a moment later, his hips bucking so that he thrust into her hard and stayed there buried deep. She felt him twitch inside her and a spreading warmth as he spilled his seed, but she was still riding the waves she’d created, and merely clung to him. When he collapsed a moment later and rolled to the side, he
