MARIELLE

A fter the kiss ended, I could barely keep my eyes focused on one thing in the cabin. Looking over the high beams in the ceiling and over to the fireplace, then finally at the large leather sectional, I plopped down, my head spinning.

"You okay?" Artemis asked, carefully taking the seat beside me. His large body made the cushions dip, so he slid even closer, his arm going around my shoulders.

"Yeah," I said with a sigh, leaning into his muscular frame, acutely aware that he hadn't put a shirt on. "Just trying to wrap my head around everything you told me. And the fact that I saw you change into a dragon with my very own eyes."

"I know it's a lot to take in, Marielle," he said, his words trailing as he lifted my chin, forcing me to stare into his bright green orbs that sparkled like tsavorite. To me, the rare gemstone was even prettier than emeralds, and the color was almost an exact match to his eyes. "But it's all true. You never have to worry about me lying to you or hurting you. I will always treat you the way you deserve…as my precious treasure."

He sealed his words with another kiss, one that took my breath away as soon as his tongue met mine. He was warm and his manly scent surrounded me, immediately making me feel as though I was home. A sensation I hadn't felt in too long.

I barely knew Artemis, but I loved the idea of being the other half of his soul, destined to be together. It was the only thing that explained how he could make me feel so much in such a short time.

Whatever was happening between us wasn't just a quick fling. I might have never experienced desire before, but I knew that the attraction between us was off the charts.

Artemis's large body covered mine as I sank farther into the couch, lying on my back as he hovered over me. My entire body was on fire, every inch of me aching for more of his touch.

Pulling him closer to me, I pressed my pulsing core to the front of his sweatpants, already hard. The delicious friction caused me to moan.

He laughed against my lips before trailing more kisses down my neck. "Do you want me to touch you there, Marielle? Need me to get your sweet pussy prepared to take my cock?"

I gasped at the brashness of his words, but I couldn't deny how badly I wanted him.

"Yes," I managed to breathe out.

He slowly trailed his fingers down the front of my shirt and then my leggings. But I wanted more than slow. I needed to feel more of him.

Pushing my hips forward to meet his large hands incited a laugh from deep in his chest. "Greedy, are you?"

"I just want to feel you," I whimpered.

"I know, baby, but I need to get you ready to take my big cock. Though I want nothing more than to feel you come all over me, we'll start with my fingers."

He pushed down my leggings and panties, leaving me bare to him.

Leaning back, he inhaled deeply, his eyes going to half-mast. "Fuck, Marielle, your scent is amazing."

He hooked one finger inside me as I spread my legs, adjusting my body to fit his digit. But as quickly as he was inside me, he pulled his finger out. I whimpered but then looked up to see him placing his finger to his lips, licking the digit clean.

"You taste amazing," he murmured.

I leaned forward, my lips just a whisper from his. "Let me see for myself."

He groaned, capturing my mouth with his as I tasted my own saltiness on his tongue. His kiss deepened as his hands went back to my quivering sex, slowly pumping his finger in and out of my tight little hole.

"I need you to come for me, treasure. Tell me what feels good," he murmured against my lips, swirling his large finger in and out of me.

"My clit. Rub my clit while you do that," I managed to pant, my body already pulsing underneath him as I lifted my hips to meet each thrust of his hand. I never would've thought I'd be so demanding when I got hot and heavy with a guy, but telling Artemis what I needed felt natural. And it got me exactly what I wanted.

His thumb went to my swollen clit, giving it the same pressure he gave to his finger sliding in and out of me. My thighs shook as my sex pulsated at his touch, and sparks flew through my body as I cried out.

"Damn, you just drenched my fingers," Artemis said, pulling his soaking hand from between my legs and licking it clean. "So fucking delicious."

I let out a breathy moan, pressing my thighs together at how sexy he was.

"I need more of you. Wanna put my tongue in your sweet pussy and drown in your taste straight from the source," he murmured, leaning between my legs as I spread out across the couch.

He eagerly lunged forward, running his nose down the center of my sex, followed by his tongue, tasting me in long, slow strokes.

I shivered under his touch, my body still on fire from my first orgasm and already on the brink of another one as his heated stare met mine.

He picked up the pace, lapping up all of my wetness before adding a finger to his wonderful assault of my sex. Desire pooled low in my body, and I cried out, feeling the gush of my orgasm.

He lapped up every last bit of me, his fingers caressing my walls through my aftershocks.

"Please, Artemis, I need to feel you inside me," I pleaded. The two orgasms he'd given me were mind-blowing, but I had a hunch that it would feel even more amazing with his dick inside my tight channel.

He groaned, leaning back.

I thought his reaction might have meant he wasn't ready, and he was going to stop. Instead, he quickly threw me over his shoulder and started padding down the hall.

"What are you doing?" I squealed as he opened a large wooden door, and my knees hit the softest mattress I'd ever laid on.

The bed was a large canopy, overlooking floor-to-ceiling windows with a gorgeous view of the woods. But I wasn't paying any attention to the sight that would normally draw my eye because I had a better view of Artemis shoving down his gray sweatpants.

I didn't know where to look. His tanned, taut abs, and then down to the massive dick he was now palming in his large hands.

"I've been dreaming about this moment since I met you, my treasure," he rasped as he crawled on the mattress, kneeling in front of me.

Suddenly, my body was too overheated, and I needed to be just as naked as he was. Tearing off my T-shirt and bra, I tossed them to the side, not caring where they went. I just needed to feel all of him.

"Damn, baby," he growled before lurching forward, capturing one of my small nipples in his teeth.

He palmed the other before sliding that hand down to my soaking sex.

"Please, Artemis, I need to feel you," I whimpered.

He laughed, tickling my already sensitive chest. "As much as I enjoy the sound of it, there's no need to beg. I can't wait to feel your sweet pussy wrapped around my cock, so you're gonna get exactly what you want."

He held my gaze as he leaned back, positioning his large dick between my legs. Slowly, he slid just the head inside my tight sex.

"Fuck, treasure," he moaned, sliding in just far enough to break through the proof of my innocence.

He didn't move. He just sat there, letting my body adjust to his large girth as the sting of his invasion eased.

"I need you to guide me, Marielle. I don't want to hurt you, so you tell me how it feels."

"Amazing," I moaned, wiggling my hips and sliding him farther into me.

"Fuck," he moaned, gritting his teeth as if he was holding back.

But I didn't want him to keep hold of his control. I needed to feel all of him. Putting my hand between us, I circled my clit, coating his dick in my wetness.

"Oh fuck, treasure. You look so beautiful like this. Are you going to make yourself come for me? I want to watch your face as you squirt all over my big, fat cock."

His words were enough to send me over the edge as I cried out, my sex pulsating as I came hard all over his dick.

He gripped hard onto my thighs, slowly pumping in and out of my core. "Fuck, Marielle, you're squeezing my cock so well."

I wiggled my body, pushing closer as I met his same rhythm.

"Come again for me, treasure. I'm so close but need to feel you squeeze the hell outta my dick while we fly free together," he commanded. His hand went to my clit, circling it in the same rhythm he pumped his large dick in and out of me.

My entire body pulsated as I cried out, desire pooling out of me and onto him. He stiffened, moaning as I felt him erupt inside me, eliciting another orgasm that shook me to my core.

I could barely keep my eyes open and wanted nothing more than to roll over and go to sleep. I might have even passed out as I felt Artemis's large body shift off the bed and the sound of water trickling somewhere near me. But before I could drift off to slumber, I was gently carried off the bed and placed in a large, clawfoot tub, the scent of lavender surrounding me.

Slowly, the water shifted as Artemis climbed in behind me, letting me rest my head against his sweaty chest.

"Thought you might want to clean up before bed. Are you sore at all?" he asked, drawing lazy circles with a washcloth down my belly.

"Not yet. But it'll be worth it if I am because that was amazing," I sighed, leaning against him.

Even though it was my first time, I wasn't lying. It was the best I'd ever felt. Yet I wasn't going to admit it out loud, something did feel like it was missing. Like one last piece of the sexual puzzle.

Instead of voicing that, I just let him clean me up before drying off my weary body and placing me back into the large bed. He pulled back the covers and slowly slid in next to me, the hard lines of his body molding to mine. I knew it would be the best sleep I ever had because I was finally home.
