Page 23 of Always the Lyon Tamer
But there was something building, building inside of him, and if he was not careful…
“Titania, I am going to—I can’t stop—”
“John!” She shuddered against him, her whole body rocking with the pleasure crest she was riding.
Finally.John took her pleasure as permission, and then he was shooting into her, rocking against her, and he could see stars against the blindfold as the Lyon Tamer, the woman he would spend the rest of his life with, fell against him.
John held her in his arms as they both gasped for breath.He never wanted to be tamed by anyone else.
Chapter Seven
Wrapped in hisarms, unsure how to breathe, Rebecca tried to collect herself and utterly failed.
Breathing, yes. She needed to do that.If she didn’t, she would expire and never again experience the absolute delight of being one with John.
John. She tilted her head to look at him. He looked just as out of breath as she after their lovemaking. Was it possible that he, too, was wondering why he had waited this long in his life to find her?
Rebecca forced down the feeling.John had not found her.He had no idea who she was!
He was hers now. No matter what happened, she would always belong to him. The idea she could ever feel affection for any other gentleman, it was ludicrous! She adored him, and now they had shared this together…
“Christ alive,” he breathed. “That was…it was…”
Rebecca laughed gently. “Yes, that was just what I was thinking.”
He did not need to know just how nervous she was, after all. She did not want him to know she was already doubting him.
“Now then, my Titania, my Lyon Tamer,” John said with a smile. “I cannot express how much I want to see you, see all of you, especially after that… Can I take my blindfold off yet?”
Rebecca hesitated. “No.”
What made her stop?She could not extend this indefinitely; at some point, John would have to remove the blindfold and see the lady who had taken his innocence and given hers.
But not yet. She wanted to stay unknown for just a few more minutes.
“I have never experienced anything like that,” John said quietly, breaking the silence.
Rebecca laughed softly. “Neither have I.”
She felt foolish as soon as the words were out of her mouth, but John laughed. “You are on the hunt for a husband, then? It looks like I was the lucky winner.”
She stroked his chest. “I was on the hunt for you.”
John’s head turned toward her. “Me?”
Rebecca nodded, and then realizing he could not see her, said, “Yes, you. I knew…well, that you would not necessarily be impressed by all the normal rules of courting. I knew I had to tame you in a different way than you expected.”
John laughed. “You certainly did!”
She felt his laugh as well as heard it, rocking through her body, their bodies, as they clung to each other.
“I had hoped…well,” she said, swallowing. She had to start speaking truths, or she would never remove his blindfold. “I think I got more than I bargained for!”
The blindfold wasstarting to irritate John, but he still obeyed.
She was impressive. Titania was elegant, feminine, and yet powerful.
He felt…how did he feel with her in his arms?
