Aodhan didn’t say anything as he silently guided her into the tree trunk, which had apparently been uninhabited. It was pitch black as he maneuvered them to where they could sit on the dirt with their backs against the interior of the tree trunk.
“I can’t risk lighting a fire in here, so let me know if you need help finding anything.” Aodhan kept his voice low. “We are also cornered, and need to keep quiet, so we don’t attract anything with our echoing voices.”
“Um, what about…bathroom needs?” Sierra asked in a whisper.
“Just go on the other side of the tree, keep your hand on it, and don’t let go. I’ll stand nearby in case you need help.”
Now that she was sitting down, even though it was in a hollowed-out tree in a strange forest, Sierra felt incredibly tired,like she could sleep right away. Seeming to read her mind as he always did, Aodhan pressed what felt like a bit of bread into her hand. “Eat, then you can sleep.”
Not one to argue when it came to food, Sierra ate her slice of bread in a few bites. As soon as she was done, she felt around in the dark for Aodhan’s face, giving him a quick peck before drifting off to sleep on his shoulder.
Chapter Forty-One
She awoke the next day, with her limbs entangled with Aodhan’s, as he ran a calming hand over her hair. “Did you sleep well?” he asked in a low voice in her ear.
“Mm-hmm,” Sierra murmured, it being too early to formulate a response that included words. She kept her eyes closed, focusing on the way his hands felt as they ran through her loose black curls. Although Sierra had always hated her skin, she had always loved her hair. It was the kind other women wished they had. A mix between wavy and curly, it fell naturally into loose curls no matter what the weather was outside or how she had slept.
Aodhan’s hand drifted lower, falling from her hair to her backside, giving it a slight squeeze.
“Are we in a rush this morning?” she whispered, her voice laced with hope as other parts of her body awoke at his touch.
“We only have about half a day’s travel to the seer, so I think there’s time,” he whispered back, his hand creeping between her legs to press against her clit. At the feel of him brushing her through the fabric, arousal immediately pooled in her core.
“Here, open your mouth,” he whispered.
Sierra trusted Aodhan, and did as he asked, unsurprised whenshe felt the same melting tablet on her tongue. “You brought them with you?”
“Why would I leave them behind?” Aodhan asked, swallowing his own tablet.
Before Sierra could ask more questions, he was pressing her up against the inside of the tree, trailing kisses down her neck. With the hand that wasn’t rubbing her between her legs, he guided one of her hands to his cock, already straining at the laces of his pants. “I dreamed of you last night, and it was torture to wait for you to wake up.”
Sierra let out a gasp. “That feels good,” she moaned, as she rubbed him through his pants.
“Hm, think you can come for me this way?” Aodhan said in a low murmur, his breath fanning against her earlobe.
Feeling her orgasm already building in her core, Sierra could do nothing but nod. Aodhan continued his ministrations, pressing against her clit lightly as he moved his hand back and forth between her legs at the same rhythm with which she stroked him with her hand.
“Come on, come for me,mo grá."
At the sound of his nickname for her, Sierra toppled over the edge, digging the fingernails of the hand that wasn’t on his cock into Aodhan’s shoulders as she came. It took her a moment to regain control of her breathing as she panted in Aodhan’s chest, trying to stay at least somewhat quiet in case they still had to be cautious.
Aodhan was paying attention because the minute she was done, gasping for breath, he repositioned them, so his hard cock was pressed between their bodies as she sat on his lap.
“Are you ready for me?”
Sierra nodded, reaching down to undo the button on her pants. Aodhan helped her slip them off before pulling off his own pants.
Lifting her as if she weighed nothing, he placed her on top of him, easily guiding himself between her slickened folds. As heslowly sank her down, Sierra moaned in ecstasy, placing her hands on his shoulders once again so she could have the leverage to move.
Aodhan began to move beneath her, thrusting up into her as she pressed herself down. They found their rhythm quickly; the only sound in the tree was their breaths echoing back at them.
“You feel too good,” He huffed. “I won’t last much longer. You need to come again,mo grá.”
Sierra gripped his shoulders harder, pushing her clit forward against his body to get some friction to fuel her pending orgasm. Within a few seconds of the adjusted position, Sierra was coming hard, fighting the urge to call out his name.
Not a moment later, Aodhan exploded as well, spilling himself inside of her with a gasp. He was also finding it difficult to be quiet, having to bite Sierra’s shoulder to keep from moaning loudly with his orgasm. It would probably leave a bruise later, but she didn’t care.
Sierra collapsed on his chest, and Aodhan wrapped his arms around her. They sat in silence for a few minutes, enjoying the feeling of each other.
