Chapter 89: Chapter 89 - First night [2]
Warning! Mature content.
Lilith arched against the bed as Cassian’s finger sank into her, matching the same steady pleasure his tongue had built. There were no complaints from her end, and even if there had been a few, she was far too breathless to voice them now.
Cassian shifted his body closer, his weight a light pressure against hers. His finger kept up its slow, deliberate rhythm inside her, and as it did, he pressed his lips to her skin, leaving a trail of kisses.
He sucked at her warm flesh, intentionally leaving marks that would still be there in the morning. There would be no mistaking, come daylight, that Lilith was his and that she had no intention of going anywhere.
Cassian’s lips curled into a devious smile as a curse slipped from Lilith’s mouth. "That isn’t very ladylike of a queen," he murmured against her skin.
Lilith shot him a glare. He shouldn’t push his luck. She was petty enough to call this off entirely, even with her first orgasm still hanging just out of reach.
Cassian seemed to read the warning in her eyes, because he chuckled softly and said nothing further.
"All you have to do is pleasure me," Lilith said, her patience for the teasing thin.
"That, I understand completely," Cassian said, dipping his head to press a kiss to her right breast.
For all the marks he left on her body, Cassian knew not to expect Lilith to wake and be upset or embarrassed by them. Knowing her, she would wear them like a badge. She would use them as proof to anyone who asked about exactly how smitten he was with her.
Cassian felt her tighten around his finger, and moments later, she shattered into her first orgasm, her body trembling over his hand.
Judging by the dazed, breathless look on her face, it had been far too long since Lilith had been pleasured like this.
"Had you not been so stubborn, I could have eased that tension out of your body long before now. May I propose an idea?" Cassian asked, lifting her right leg to press a kiss to it before drawing it around his waist. "Whenever the frustration builds, come to me."
"Wherever we are, I will see to it that you are relieved of that frustration," Cassian promised.
"And what if I want you in the middle of an important meeting about the kingdom?"
"You wouldn’t, but if you did, I would send every guest out and have you right there on the throne," Cassian said, trailing a kiss lower down her belly. "I only wish to be a good husband to you."
"As though you wouldn’t enjoy having me that easily? You don’t fool me, but you might convince me if you prove yourself tonight. You haven’t disappointed me yet, but I am still waiting to see what you can really do," Lilith said, her thigh brushing deliberately against his manhood.
Lilith pushed herself up to be closer to him. "Are the soldiers truly so well behaved when they return from war? Facing death and being surrounded by men for weeks on end must be terribly dull. I imagine there’s a need that goes unsatisfied."
"You are playing with fire," Cassian warned.
"I know. I’m the one who lit it," Lilith replied, unafraid of whatever was coming, so long as she was enjoying herself. "Time is ticking, Your Majesty."
Lilith gasped softly when Cassian’s teeth grazed her flesh. The sting of it sent a thrill through her rather than pain.
His weight settled fully against her, and for the first time, Lilith felt genuinely small beneath him, though he had always towered over her.
His arousal pressed against her thigh, and she could feel exactly how ready he was.
The head of his manhood soon found the warmth between her thighs. He didn’t waste a moment penetrating her, knowing full well that Lilith had never been a patient woman.
Cassian watched her face closely for any sign of discomfort, but what met him instead was open, unguarded longing.
Since this was neither of their first times, Cassian didn’t need to ease into it slowly or guide her through what came next. He pressed forward in one smooth motion, filling her.
He was determined to make her eat every word she’d said about him being too small and every jab at his experience. He wanted, more than anything, to erase whatever memory remained of what she had once had with Michael.
"Wait," Lilith said, pulling Cassian from his thoughts.
A smirk tugged at his lips. "Wait? Why would I need to wait?" he asked, continuing to move inside her. "I’m small, remember? This shouldn’t be anything to feel. Might be no different from a finger."
Cassian flattened his palm against her bare stomach, feeling the subtle shift of where he reached inside her. "I told you to be bold tonight, Lilith."
"You bastard!" Lilith said, reaching up to take his face in her hands and forcing his eyes to hers. "It isn’t about you. It’s this position. You haven’t changed my mind yet."
Lilith squeezed her eyes shut as Cassian thrust forward without warning, filling her completely. A sound she would later call embarrassing tore from her lips.
She stared up at him, stunned that he had managed to pull such a reaction from her.
Cassian let out a low laugh, certain Lilith would resent this moment forever. "Lilith," he said, savouring her reaction.
Lilith grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him down to her. "Shut up and do it again," she said, then pulled him into a kiss before he could respond.
Cassian had already proven enough. Rather than dwell on what this meant between them, Lilith simply wanted him to make her feel good before the moment slipped away.
Cassian melted into the kiss, matching the same burning want that consumed her. He drew back slowly as he felt her tremble beneath him, then thrust forward again with the same force as before. This time, his name broke from her lips.
