Kalec prowled after Jaina. The set of his shoulders, the weight of his gaze; she was being hunted. His grip on her fingers was secure. Perhaps she'd already been caught. He was a solid wall of heat just a step behind her.
She turned to him just inside her door smiling. He pressed her against the wall. Jaina gasped in surprise, the sound cut off as his lips claimed hers. Gone were the dropped eyes and courtly kisses of last year. His lips were demanding, his hands possessive. He held entwined fingers against the wall with one hand, the other curved around her ribs. His body flush against hers was solid muscle under the breezy shirt and tight leather pants. Jaina practically rode one of his thighs, the hard straining heat of him unmistakable. Kalec's fingers slid down her waist and cupped her rear. He tried to lift her leg around his hip but was stopped by the fabric of her skirts trapped between them.
Kalec broke the kiss with a low growl. His chest resonated with the sound. Panting, she met his eyes. His irises glowed in the low lighting of her bedroom, slim bands of shimmering blue. He smirked, eyes narrowing with mischief. She understood his intent a second too late, her reeling senses slowing her reaction. He waved a hand and banished her clothing.
Jaina made a wordless sound of indignation and amusement as her skin suddenly touched the chilly wall. Gooseflesh erupted across her skin, though not entirely because she wasn't wearing a stitch of clothing. Baring her teeth she quickly formed her own spell and retaliated, banishing his clothing with a gesture. She grinned, defiant and daring. Kalec snorted in response, the puff of air chill enough to be seen. He pinned her against the wall, sealed his lips to hers and pulled her legs around his waist, lifting her easily. As before the casual show of non-human strength was exciting. He was hot and already hard against her, the length of him trapped between their bodies
Jaina tried rocking her hips to relieve the needy ache, but the hands holding her were firm. He growled into the kiss, hips snapping forward to rut against her. She laughed and locked her ankles, pulling him closer with embracing limbs. Jaina dared a little growl of her own just to hear his response. Kalec bit the junction of neck and shoulder, hard enough it would probably bruise. Her growl became a surprised squeak and she dug her nails into his back. Kalec froze, his shoulders cords of tension under her hands.
"Sorry," he said, leaning back and loosening his grip. His eyes couldn't meet hers.
Heat bloomed in her chest, mingling with the tight ache between her legs. She held on to him more tightly. Jaina wound her arms around his broad shoulders, pressing her breasts against his chest. She ghosted kisses up his jaw. Jaina bit his earlobe gently then harder. He smelled like storms and snow and musky arousal. The hands around her tightened.
"I love you," she whispered. Jaina dragged the fingers of one hand back over his head and down though his long blue-black hair. "All of you, beloved." She eased the tiny frown he wore with a gentle sweep of one thumb then traced the tips of her fingers down either side of his face. Jaina leaned forward and claimed his lips with a challenging kiss of her own
He returned the kiss in kind, the frenzied heat reemerging. Finally he pulled her down onto him. Jaina gasped, arching her back in pleasure as he filled her. He began to fuck her against the wall, holding her by her thighs. She dug her nails into his shoulder and upper arm, lips, teeth and tongue warring with his. Jaina panted against his neck, fingers gripping his broad shoulders. He bent his head against her, leaving a light kiss at odds with the force of his hips and the iron grip of his hands. She scraped her nails up the nape of his neck then cradled the back of his head against her shoulder. His skin tingled under her fingers echoing the shivery feeling when their power had intermingled during the spell. The almost desperate way he thrust into her stole more coherent thoughts. She held on, enjoying the rough ride, attempts at encouragement reduced to soft exhalations of sound. He adjusted their angle, rapid strokes becoming slower but deeper. She scratched her nails along his back, groaning and rolling her hips against his in counterpoint.
Kalec stepped away from the wall carrying her towards the bed. He lifted her off him, putting her down in the center, hair fanned around her head like a halo. She rose to her knees as he prowled onto the mattress. She teased him into following her towards the head of the bed, grinning as she dodged every other kiss, playfully meeting his lips but backing away before he could claim her again. Kalec's deep growl touched the nerves at the base of her spine. She bit her lower lip and backed away until she was sitting on pillows.
Kalec reached for her, eyes dark pools that tracked her movements. She bared her teeth at him. He surged forward to grab her but she dodged away. With a twist of her fingers and more effort than she normally needed, she blinked the very short distance to appear behind him. He whirled around, eyes wide, a small smile tugging his lips. Jaina pounced before he could speak. They fell to the bed together in a tangle of laughter and limbs.
Jaina ended up on top. The short teleport had surprised, and if he were being honest, delighted him. She grinned down at him as she lightly scraped her nails over the planes of his chest. Each rough trail became the epicenter of a little electric burst that raced through his body to center at the base of his spine. He rose up on one elbow to embrace her, but she pressed him back to the bed with a hand. Kalec lay back, wondering what she would do.
Rising to her hands and knees she kissed her way up his body, stopping just under his ear. Each touch sent another rippling shockwave to pool at the base of his spine. He could feel the slightest brush of magic when her lips caressed his skin. Wanting to feel more of that electric charge he reached for her, hands ghosting over her hips and thighs. He lifted the heavy weight of her breasts and brushed his thumbs over the taut peaks. She made an appreciative sound but his hands were already moving away to caress down her sides and over her back. Her smooth skin was fascinating to touch, full of subtle and unfamiliar textures. Under it all he could feel the restrained power, now slightly leaking into the bedroom. She intercepted his wandering hands and leaned over him, her silver hair falling like moonlight around her face. How could she ever have thought it was anything but lovely? His heart ached for her still healing soul even as he wanted to flip her over and rut her into the bedding.
Jaina's expression was gentle as she leaned down and brushed her nose against his. The gesture was playful and gentle even among dragons. He let out a breath as the desperate fire in his heart eased into something less frenzied. She straddled his hips and took him in hand. He groaned, hips and eyes rolling. She held him without changing position or pressure until he managed to peel his eyes open. Smirking once their eyes met, she rose up and sank down on him slowly. The delicious heat of her body, the tightness as she surrounded him nearly was his undoing there. Kalec could not stop the deep throaty growl as his hands dug into her hips, grounding him. She hummed a rather smug sound and made a little experimental rock of her hips. His eyes snapped open, not wanting to miss seeing a moment of her ride him. Jaina set a deliberately slow pace, watching his reactions. Her core was hot and tight around him and he could smell her arousal. His hands ran over her sides and her breasts, never staying one place for long, wanting to touch all of her. Laughing quietly, she moved his hands to touch her breasts and clit. He rolled her nipple against his palm as she rode him, the other hand busy touching the little nub of flesh at the apex of her thighs. Her naked skin was luminous in the light from the two moons. Jaina's eyes glowed ever so faintly in the low light.
Lips parted, she began to ride him faster in time with the little circles his thumb made against her clit. The pooling tension within him had wound to a point where it was very nearly painful, but he needed her to come first, needed to see her fall apart into his arms. He sat up, changing her angle and they both moaned, her steady ride faltering. He pressed harder against her, his other hand sliding around to grip her rear. She laughed but it turned into a broken moan as her bucked under her. Jaina braced herself against his shoulders and pressed her face to the crook of his neck. He could feel her hot panting breaths and hear the rhythmic slap as he filled her again and again. Kalec wound his fingers into her hair. She nipped his shoulder and the hands on her tightened, pleased and surprised. He grunted, pulling her onto him harder as he lifted his hips up. She broke was a cry against his shoulder, her body clenching around him. He thrust into her a few more times before coming inside of her.
He held her close, face buried in her neck, taking in her scent. It was always enticing but the soft layer of arousal was still new to him. He inhaled deeply as their wild hearts began to slow to normal rates. She sighed, a happy sound free of care and sorrow as her arms wound around his shoulders. Her hands caressed over his skin, soothing rather than inflaming. Nimble fingers made their way into his hair. Kalec leaned into her gentle, comforting touch. He began to feel some of his own pains ease. Whatever else might be going on, here in her arms, he was loved and that was enough for now.
