COLIN was on the edge of madness the moment she gave him her consent to continue. His body hummed with desire, distracting him from the pain of the arrow that had hit his chest.
From the moment he’d seen her, he’d known he wanted her, and now in this second, he wanted to claim her as his. He pulled her bliaut up over her head, tossing it off to the side. When he’d discarded the remainder of her garments and was left with nothing but the canvas of creamy, white skin, his shaft grew with the pleasure mounting.
He slid down her body to take one of her nipples into his mouth while he cupped the other. Beatrice arched her back beneath him, as if offering her body and soul to him.
Colin had never met a woman so brave and caring before. Well, aside from his mother. This lass had gone beyond her duty to see him rescued. Sure he’d had plenty of women before this, but either they were only for pleasure or they sought to take a place in his home as his wife.
He hadn’t considered on taking a wife outside of his existing alliances, but Beatrice was certainly worthy of the honor. In fact, he was the one who was honored with such a precious gift.
Colin slid farther down until his lips met the apex of her thighs and tight blonde curls. As he laid soft kisses on the roundness of her belly, his fingers dipped into her sex. In and out and sliding over her folds. He wanted to give her as much pleasure as she could before his body plundered hers. Her body needed to adjust to his invasion, so he’d, for once in his life, take things slowly.
Moving lower down her body, he trailed kisses, licked, and kissed some more until he reached the core of her wetness. He laved and sucked her swollen nub until her moans grew louder and louder.
“That’s it, love. Embrace the turmoil that surfaces. This pleasure is for ye alone to enjoy.”
Moments later her body went rigid and she cried out.
“That’s it. Let it happen, love.”
He entered her with one quick thrust. In the first time in his entire adulthood, Colin couldna remember the last time he’d spilled his seed so quickly. He was completely, utterly, undone. She’d ruined him for anyone else.
Aside from the pain plaguing him, Colin couldna recollect the last time he’d been so utterly besotted. This woman deigned to end the man he was. She made him whole. Opened him to an entire new life that had never existed before. How could he ever repay her for having been a part of his rescue? How could he ever leave her behind after being sorely mistreated? He had much to consider in the coming days. He didna even know where to begin.
