Chapter Eighteen
Lips on her neck pulled Tamlyn from sleep. A hard body was pressed against her back. She sighed as the soft lips moved over a sensitive spot.
“About time you woke.”
She smiled at Cullen’s teasing tone. Her eyes opened to see the sunlight coming through the windows. She hadn’t realized that she had fallen asleep. But, oh, how good it felt to be in his arms.
His hand cupped her breast, gently massaging it. “I thought you might be hungry.”
Tamlyn’s breath caught when his breath fanned over her ear right before he gently nipped her lobe with his teeth. She turned in his arms and shoved him onto his back so she could straddle his hips. The feel of his hard cock against her sex made her nipples harden in expectation.
“I’m hungry, all right,” she said in a soft voice as she seductively leaned over him then gave him a soft kiss.
His hands came to her hips. “I should warn you that it isna a good idea to tease a Dragon King.”
“Who said I’m teasing?” she asked with a smile.
His pale brown eyes intensified as he lifted her with his hands. She balanced on her knees while taking his arousal and bringing it to her center. The blunt head of his staff rubbed against her before sliding inside. She released a sigh of contentment as she lowered herself onto him. His hands returned to her hips. She placed her palms on his chest and began to rock her hips back and forth.
He sat up and claimed her mouth in a scorching kiss while their bodies moved against each other. The friction between them left her breathless, while his kiss stole her senses. She didn’t know what it was about Cullen that fascinated and charmed her. All she knew was that she wanted to be with him.
In every way possible.
Tamlyn suddenly found herself on her hands and knees. A large hand splayed on her back. She looked over her shoulder to see Cullen kneeling behind her as he guided himself to her entrance. With one thrust, he buried himself inside her again.
She moaned at the sensation of him filling her so perfectly, so…completely. Her fingers dug into the covers as he held her hips and rocked his, driving into her repeatedly as he increased his tempo. She was lost in a dream-like state with her body flooded with desire, and Cullen pushing her to her limits.
Somehow, it was everything she needed. She hadn’t even known it. How could he?
Then he was leaning over her, one large hand on her lower neck as he gently turned her head. His lips brushed against hers as he thrust hard and deep.
“Come with me,” he whispered in a sexy voice.
As if he had some power over her body, she gasped when she found herself on the edge of climax. He continued his rhythm, sinking harder, deeper inside her.
“Aye,” he murmured, his breath fanning her cheek. “Let me feel you.”
Tamlyn cried out as pleasure flooded her body. She barely felt his fingers dig into her hips or heard his shout of completion, she was so emersed in her own ecstasy. Her arms gave out and she fell on her stomach.
Cullen slowly lowered himself over her, gathered her in his arms, and rolled onto his side. He kissed her cheek as they lay together in silence. She kept her eyes closed, hovering somewhere between sleep and wakefulness. He never stopped touching her, caressing her, almost as if he didn’t want her to forget that he was there. As if she could.
“Is it always like that?” she asked. “I’ve had few experiences.”
“Nay, lass. It isna always like that.”
Something in his voice made her frown. Just as she was about to ask, her stomach growled loudly.
Cullen laughed as he sat up. “I think it’s time for food.”
“Do we have to go down now?” she asked as she looked at him.
“We doona have to leave this room. What would you like to eat? I’ll have it here in a blink.”
Tamlyn sat up as a thought took root. “How about your favorite dish from your realm?”
“If you want.”
She considered that for a moment. “Do you even need to eat?”
“No’ really.”
“What about sleep?”
He shrugged nonchalantly. “No’ if we doona want to.”
“How old are you exactly?”
Brown eyes slid to her. “Think of a huge number. The biggest number you can imagine. Now triple it. That still willna come close to my age.”
“How do you do it? How do you go on?”
Cullen walked naked to the window, giving her a view of his amazing backside. He stared out the glass for a long moment. “This conversation is better with some food.”
No sooner had he said the words than a round, wooden table and chairs appeared. On it were two plates and several dishes of food. She rose from the bed and went to look. Some of the dishes looked similar to things she had eaten on Zora, but she wasn’t taking anything for granted.
She glanced at Cullen, but he kept his gaze outside. Tamlyn grabbed the blanket from the bed, wound it around herself, and sat. The longer he remained quiet, the more she regretted her question. He’d been so open about everything, that she hadn’t considered there could be things he wouldn’t wish to speak about.
He turned to her with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. He strode to the table and looked at the dishes. “These are foods from various regions on my realm. I thought you could get a taste of some of my favorites.”
“Thank you,” she said with a big smile. Her stomach rumbled again, reminding her that she was hungry.
