18. Kavian

Ihave Meera meet me in my study. She takes a seat in a chair by my desk and it's all I can do to keep my hands to myself. She's stunning.

And the desire I feel to rip her clothes off her slender body and ravish her is slightly overwhelming at the moment. Instead, I clear my throat and tell her of my plans instead.

"I am journeying back to New Solas," I announce, my gaze fixed on the dark wood grain of my desk. It"s too risky to hold her gaze, too dangerous to be swept up in the depths of her eyes.

Meera doesn"t respond immediately. She draws in a breath, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear as if stalling for time. When she speaks, her voice is poised and determined. "I"m going with you."

"No," I protest instantly, my head whipping towards her. She"s gazing at me fiercely. I can see the fire in her eyes. It threatens to consume me if I"m not careful. "It"s far too dangerous."

"And you think it"s less so for you?" she retorts, standing from the chair and leaning over the desk that separates us. There"s an edge to her words, an anger that stems from both worry and fear.

"It"s different," I say, reaching across to grasp her hands in mine, the touch grounding me. "I"ve been trained for this."

"Then train me," she insists stubbornly, not withdrawing her hands from mine. Her pulse beats rapidly under my fingers, echoing my own racing heart.

"You don"t understand..." I start to argue but Meera interrupts me with a shake of her head.

"I understand perfectly," she interjects sharply, "And I"m not letting you face Gorran alone."

I clench my jaw. I knew even before I told her of my plans that this would be an argument. But it's far too dangerous to have her come along. However, I force myself to remain calm.

"You should stay here," I advise her, forcing myself to maintain eye contact. She deserved that much, at least.

"And do what? Sit here and knit while you risk your life? No," she says with an obstinate shake of her head, a certain fire dancing in her eyes, matching the one that"s always been smoldering in the pit of my heart. The sheer will in her voice makes me waver.

"You don"t have to be there physically to help," I counter, squeezing her hands tightly, hoping she can feel the sincerity of my words. "You can work on gathering information here."

But she cuts me off with a scoff, jerking her hands from mine. "You"re underestimating me, Kavian," she chastises, her gaze hardening. The mention of my name is like a dagger to my heart—the way it rolls so naturally off her tongue.

"Meera," I say slowly, trying to keep the desperation from creeping into my voice. "I"m not underestimating you. I trust you more than anyone else but the dangers that await... They"re not something I want you exposed to."

She huffs, crossing her arms as if shielding herself from my protective instinct. "You don"t get to decide what I can or cannot handle."

"I know," I agree reluctantly. The fact that we"re even having this conversation is proof enough of that.

She's headstrong, independent, and undoubtedly my equal in every sense of the word. But I fear for her safety all the same.

"Promise me you"ll stay safe," I finally mumble, surrendering to the inevitable defeat. Her lips twitch into a small smile—a victory smile—radiating a warmth that could soften even the hardest stone.

"I promise," she whispers, her gaze softening. She walks toward me, her hand cupping my cheek as I reach to grip her waist, drawing her in.

My lips press against hers and she moans into my mouth. Our lips move in sync, passion and desperation mixing. Heat radiates from our bodies as we get lost in the moment - lost in each other.

"Kavian," Meera murmurs against my lips, her voice a plea and a promise all rolled into one. I respond by deepening our connection, hoping to convey everything I feel for her without words.

When we finally part for air, her eyes meet mine with something akin to understanding. We stand there, chests heaving in unison, not needing words to express what"s happening.

"Take your clothes off," I demand. My need for her overwhelms everything else.

Her smile turns sly, and she reaches up to untangle her fingers in my hair. "Impatient, are we?" she teases, but the laughter in her eyes dies out as she stares at me intently. "I want this, Kavian," she says seriously, almost as if to reassure me.

I smile back at her, letting my hands slide down over the contour of her waist, feeling the fabric of her dress rustle beneath my touch. "I know," I answer, my heart throbbing against my ribs. I"ve wanted this for a long time too—this closeness, this intimacy that only she can provide. And tonight, it seems like the stars have finally aligned in our favor.

With a determined nod, Meera steps away from me and starts to unbutton her dress. It falls onto the floor with a soft whispery sound, revealing her slender figure. The sight takes my breath away—Meera has never looked more beautiful.

Taking a step towards her, I pull her close again, skin against skin now. The window in the room gives little light as we stumble towards the desk which I clean off with a sweep of my arm in blind urgency, our clothes leaving a trail on the floor along the way.

I pick her up and spread her legs, delving between them with my tongue. Her gasp of surprise turns into a low moan as waves of pleasure ripple through her. My hands roam all over her body, exploring every dip and curve, as I savor the sweet taste of her. She writhes beneath me, her fingers tangled in my hair, urging me on.

I lift my head to meet her gaze and the intensity in her eyes nearly undoes me. "Kavian," she breathes out my name like a prayer and it sends shivers down my spine.

"Cum for me, Meera." My order is absolute. I want her to explode on my tongue.

With a sharp intake of breath, her body tenses beneath me. "Kavian," she gasps again, this time it"s laced with an exhilarating mix of pleasure and surrender. I feel her body quiver on the edge of that peak, and then with a soft cry, she climaxes. Her hips arch off the desk as waves of pleasure course through her, and I hold her through it, drawing out every last shiver from her.

I pull away from her slowly, my gaze never leaving hers, my chest heaving in sync with the erratic rhythm of our hearts. The fiery passion in her eyes has now been replaced with a warm tender glow that makes me yearn for more.

"Your turn," she whispers breathlessly and brings me down for a searing kiss. Her hands wander over my chest, her touch sending spirals of electricity coursing through my veins. With nimble fingers, she pulls down my pants while I shrug off the remainder of my clothing, letting them fall to the floor.

I watch as she drinks in the sight of me, raw and bare before her. Her lips part in a silent gasp at the sight and I can"t help but smirk at the effect I have on her. She reaches out to touch me once again and I groan at the contact, my body responding with fervent need.

Keeping our gazes locked together, she pushes me to sit on the edge of the desk before straddling me. A moan escapes my lips as she takes me inside her, bit by bit until I"m fully seated within her warmth.

We move together then, slow at first but gradually gaining momentum. The room is filled with the sounds of our mingled breaths and whispered endearments as we lose ourselves in each other.

I thrust roughly inside of her, eager to hear her cry out my name again in beautiful surrender. A bead of sweat trickles down my temple as I feel the familiar coiling sensation unfurling within me, signaling the imminent climax that"s threatening to swallow us both whole.

"Kavian," she gasps, her voice shaky and raw. I can see the desperation etched onto her face, a mirror reflection of my own mounting urgency.

"Hold on Meera, just a little longer," I manage to grunt out, hoping she hears the plea laced in my words. Her legs locked around me tighten their grip, her body grinding against mine in sweet desperation.

Her moans and cries grow louder, echoing in the silence of the room as she edges closer to the precipice. I can feel her body tensing up, the arch of her back becoming more pronounced, and I know she"s close—so close. With a final, deep thrust I send her over the edge.

"Kavian!" she screams, a beautiful symphony in the air as she succumbs to her climax. Her whole body shudders around me, convulsing in waves of pleasure that echo through my own body with an intensity that robs me of breath.

With a guttural groan ripped out of my chest, I join her in ecstasy. The world fades away as warmth blossoms within me, radiating outward in powerful waves until all that is left is pure bliss. Our bodies convulse together in a sweet harmony before we slowly collapse against one another, spent and sated.

For a long moment, neither of us says anything, lost as we are in the afterglow of our intimacy. Her fingers trace lazy circles on my sweat-slicked chest, and I find myself moving a loose lock of hair behind her ear. Her eyes find mine and we share a look that goes beyond words—a shared secret that only lovers would understand.
