The Primitive King ~ ON HOLD ~

EIGHTEEN

IDEN

I hadn't slept the whole night.

"Do you feel this too?"  her soft lips whispered.

My heart completely stopped in my chest at the look in her eyes. When the beat returned, its thumping was vigorous. All I could do was move closer to tuck her hair behind her ears and reveal more of her beautiful face.

She was so vulnerable despite her strength. So innocent despite her expertise. 

My mind was spinning with worries of scaring her away and moving too fast. Then she leaned in and kissed me. 

Flashbacks and my pounding heart kept me awake as I simply watched her sleep. The morning light was streaming through the window and my lack of rest didn't stop me from appreciating the moment. 

I'd made love to her in the way of my people, leaving out only the intercourse. We had a connection that was undeniable, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified for the moment she awoke. 

Would she go back to being stubborn and distant? Or did things change for her last night too?

I'd get my answers sooner than later, it seemed. Her soft sighs and rustling of the blankets were quite endearing. She was waking up.

"mmmm, Iden?" She blindly reached out and felt my chest. I sucked in a breath, my hard member coming to life under the duvet. Thank god she couldn't see her affect, that could make things awkward quickly. Goddesses, why was I so nervous? I'd masturbated in front of her, albeit unknowingly but what was the difference?

Her eyes slowly opened and looked up into mine, a pink hue to her cheeks already. I couldn't help the smile that stretched across my face. She was adorable.

"Good morning, my little Gervida." I rumbled and the pink darkened as she looked down at my chest. I was still in clothes, but it didn't look that way from this angle. She was certainly still naked, and my cock wasn't letting me forget that detail.

"Uh... good morning. How long have you been awake?" Her eyes met mine again for a moment before looking away again. I grabbed her chin and tilted her face up, before leaning down and gently brushing my lips against hers.

"Awhile... would you like to come and spar with us today?" I asked, hopeful. 

Her dazed eyes cleared suddenly and a large smile broke out on her face

"Only if you let me kick Bakra's ass!" and the mischievous glint to her eye had my cock twitching once again. I laughed and pulled her flush against my body so that she was laying on top of me.

"I don't know if I want to let you out of my bed quite yet, little one..." I murmured and watched entranced as the pink crept down her chest and to the tops of her breasts. The sight made my mouth water. Her eyes were wide, and I knew she felt the effect she had on me.
