sharply, only to
find her staring at his ass, mouth agape. Really, his little captive was so
prudish. But the flush on her cheeks and the admiration in her eyes was
flattering. He was no stranger to being lusted after; back home the Keeper
women found him very pleasing. But their interest had as much to do with his
position at the court and his military prowess as it did his looks. Gwen knew
nothing about his standing back home, so all her admiration was just for him,
and that felt good.
“See something you like?” he drawled, arching one wicked
white brow.
Gwen’s gaze jumped north immediately to lock with his,
looking abashed. Helion wasn’t embarrassed though. If she gave him permission,
he’d show her a lot more. She seemed incapable of answering his challenge,
however. He’d caught her ogling his ass and she was wise enough not to lie and
deny it. Helion loathed liars, expecting honesty from all under his command.
“S-sorry, Commander,” she stuttered, before dashing farther
away from him to the young one’s crib, which she attempted to drag across the
floor. It was quite a heavy piece and the woman was still weak from fatigue.
She pulled harder and it inched forward slowly but not even half a foot later Helion
found himself standing at her back. Standing behind her, naked as the day he
was born, was a nearly irresistible temptation.
His Gwen focused her eyes on her daughter’s sweet sleeping
face. Helion mentally dared her to turn around. He wanted her to get an eyeful
of the front of his body so she’d see what she did to him, but she remained
stubbornly still. So he moved his heat even closer, until his entire front was
molded to her back. He circled his long arms around her to cover her hands
where they gripped the sides of the crib. The long sweep of his hair drifted
forward to fall over her shoulder, caressing the side of her right cheek before
he allowed his lips to lightly touch her ear.
“What are you doing, lady?” His lips spoke softly right into
that ear, absorbing the shiver of reaction that pulsed through her body. He
desperately wanted to grind his cock into her round ass but he kept his hips pulled
back a little. No need to spook his prey.
He felt her swallow a few times before she replied, “The
cradle, I need it next to me in bed. Evie will wake in the night and need
diaper changes and more feedings.” Her voice quivered a bit but Helion knew it
wasn’t fear she felt. He could taste her lust on his tongue at this point but
she successfully resisted his silent urging to rub herself back against him.
“Allow me, my lady. Get into that bed while you still can.”
His voice rumbled now in her ear, sending shivers once again through her body. His
captive had a very responsive body and her ears were a trigger spot. He’d make
sure to remember that for the future. Her body was undeniably preparing itself
for him anyway. Odds were she was drenched and aching to be filled and all he’d
done was whisper in her ear. Once he got his lips and hands on that sweet,
rounded body, she’d be his.
But apparently, not tonight. It took her a minute but then
she did as he told her. Her hands were gently tugged out from under his much
larger ones before she gingerly pushed her way out of the circle of his arms. She
rushed over to the bed and somehow managed not to take a peek at Helion’s naked
body. Her eyes were kept firmly on the bedding as she crawled underneath the
covers and Helion could only marvel at her self-control.
“There you are, little mother. I trust you will both sleep
well this night. If you have need of me, call out and I will come to you.”
From his own bed Helion watched both females as they slept,
snug in their blankets. He indulged in a moment of regret Gwen hadn’t taken him
up on the subtle hints he’d been dropping. He knew she was interested; he could
smell the intensity of her desire, but she was exhausted. It was doubtful she
could keep up with his sexual drive
