He stopped again and kept at it. “Who am I?”
“My husband,” I gasped.
Another violent stroke and again, “Who am I?”
“My prince,” I whispered.
“Bloody right,” he growled and his hips started moving faster, harder.
He moved his weight fully to his forearm and his hand slid from my chest, between my breasts and down to my belly.
“Who does this belong to?” he asked.
“My prince,” I repeated.
His hand went up and cupped my breast firmly. “And this?” he demanded while his cock drove deep and I lifted my knees higher and pressed my thighs tight to him.
Oh God.
“My prince,” I moaned.
His thumb slid roughly across my nipple and a shaft of pleasure shot through me.
Oh God!
“And this?” he continued harshly.
“It belongs to you, my prince,” I breathed.
His fingers left my breast, he pulled my hand away from his belly and pushed both of our hands between our legs, his hand over mine cupping my sex so I could feel his thrusts between our fingers.
His mouth came to mine and he stopped thrusting and started grinding. “Who does this belong to?”
Oh God, God, God.
I closed my eyes and arched my neck again. “You, my prince.”
“Bloody look at me,” he ordered, I did and he started thrusting savagely, I felt him pounding, inside and out. “You’ll not leave,” he ground out, his voice hoarse.
My legs circled his hips but I didn’t answer.
“Cora, say it, you’ll not leave.”
Oh God!
“I’ll not leave,” I whispered.
His eyes kept mine imprisoned as he kept driving deep and I lost it, my back arched, my neck arched and my heels dug into his back as I exploded.
His mouth went to my ear as I climaxed and I felt the sharp nip of his teeth on my earlobe before he gritted, “You’re never going ‘home’.”
Then he shoved his face in my neck and groaned.
When we both came down, Tor guided our hands from between us, let mine go, he pulled out of me then kissed my neck and exited the bed.
I rolled to my side and watched as he strode around the room and extinguished candles and lamps until the only illumination came from the city lights glowing through the huge opened doors.
He joined me in bed and pulled me into his arms, settling me with my cheek on his chest, my thigh over both of his and then his fingers came up and played with the ends of my hair.
I closed my eyes tight.
Okay, shit, what was that all about?
I wasn’t sure but one thing I knew, I was screwed.
The people of his castle and the city hated me, but I could not leave, I could not complain about them or Tor would do something to make them hate me more, if he already hadn’t.
I was stuck on that score.
I wanted to take off but if I did, I might get captured by Minerva and then his world would descend into plague and famine and who wanted to be responsible for something like that?
Not me.
From what just happened, it was pretty freaking clear that Tor wasn’t going to go out and find me a wizard or sorcerer to help me get home. Further, I couldn’t ask anyone because they hated me and they wouldn’t help me. So I was stuck on that score too.
And, blast my luck, his protective behavior when he found me crying settled my black prince even deeper in my heart. I wasn’t falling sedately in love with him, I was falling fast and I was going to land soon and when I did, I’d land hard.
Yes, I was totally screwed.
I had no choice.
I had to tough it up where his people were concerned. I needed to build a shield. I would be my friendly, social self and do my best to keep my chin up. I didn’t suspect, considering how deep their hatred went, I’d win them over but I had to find a way to live with it.
And as for Tor, I didn’t know what to do.
What I did know was that there was a possibility I was going to go home one day, no warning, no chance to say good-bye.
So, I not only had to take what I could get from my fairytale prince but I also had to give him back everything I could muster. Because when I went home, the other Cora would come back and he, like me, would have nothing.
And I wanted him to have all he could have for as long as I could give it to him.
I opened my eyes and pulled in breath.
So that, I decided, was precisely what I was going to do.
“Sweets?” Tor called, his free hand coming to mine on his chest.
“Mm?” I replied but he didn’t answer, or at least not verbally.
He moved both our hands to between his legs and wrapped my fingers around his rock hard shaft.
Jeez, apparently men of this world had superhuman recuperative powers.
“I’m ready for you again,” he murmured, I felt a spasm between my legs and then he shifted me over him.
I lifted my head and looked into his face lit dimly by the city lights.
God, he was beautiful.
He moved the tip of his cock inside me then both his hands went to my hips and pushed me up to straddling him and as they did, he filled me.
Oh yes.
I bit my lip as I stared down at him and his hands took control of both of mine, leading one to my breast and the other between my legs.
“Give me what I want,” he muttered his throaty order, his hands leaving mine where he wanted them as his moved to my hips, his fingers curling in.
I swiped with a thumb and rolled with a finger at the same time moving up and down in a deep stroke.
It felt so good, my held fell back.
Oh yes. I was going to give him all I could give him for as long as I could give it to him.
“Eyes on me, my love,” he commanded and I tipped my chin down and caught his eyes.
Then I smiled.
At my smile, his face darkened and his hips bucked.
Then I rode my prince, giving him all as I could give him for as long as I could hold out.
Chapter Fifteen
Life Is Good
Six weeks later…
“Ready to go, Aggie?” I called to the fully recuperated, but unfortunately now flightless, bird who was hopping around on my dressing table.
