pound into my willing flesh. Harder and faster he moved his cock and his finger, working in tandem to bring me orgasmic delight. The tension in me wound tighter and tighter, and soon I knew that one more sensation would send me over.
“Come for me,” he hissed. I whimpered as my body stiffened underneath his. “Come on! Come for me!”
I shuddered, and the world came to a grinding halt. I felt my body arching against his, demanding that one more move, that one final caress that would send me hurtling to the stars over the precipice of infinity.
“Fucking come!” He slammed home within me one final time, and my world exploded into a sea of red-hot fireworks and deafening explosions.
“Oh God !” I screamed as my body was wracked with shudders. I bucked so hard underneath him that he had to use his weight to hold me down.
Vaguely, I was aware of his shout and the feel of his cock growing larger before it too exploded in passion, but I was too far gone, lost in climactic pleasure, to pay it more attention.
Finally, the waves of release passed and I collapsed under him, the soft furs beneath and his warm hardness above.
“I love you,” he whispered, so tenderly that tears filled my eyes. “And I will return to you.”
I closed my eyes, wrapped my arms around his sweating, heaving body, and prayed.
Chapter Twelve
Tears ran silently down my cheeks as I watched Luster depart. He did not look back as he made his way to the roots of a large tree.
Glimmer suddenly appeared at his side. Solemn, she placed her hand beside his. “The tree says that all is clear.”
I didn’t react. Oh, in normal circumstances, I would have had a million questions for that one comment. But I only saw Luster, my man, leaving to travel into what could very well be his death.
“Listen to Glow,” Luster said to me. He closed his eyes and his whole person began to glow. The tree shimmered and shook, then suddenly vanished as if it had never been.
He said that he had displaced it when I asked before. But seeing and hearing about something were two different things. Still, my sadness took precedence over any burning questions that I could ask. My man was still leaving, to save me, to save us both. And there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it.
“My heart beats for you,” he said. Then he was gone.
I tried to hold the confident face, the face of the woman watching her warrior go off into battle, the face of the maiden watching her knight battle a dragon. But as soon as he disappeared from view, the smile faded.
My head dropped, my shoulders drooped, and I was just another woman watching her man go away.
I sniffled, trying to hold back the torrent of tears that threatened to break free at any second, but the pressure was too much.
With my sobs echoing through the cavern, I raced toward the area Luster called home, the place where he brought me for safety. Once there, I could give free rein to my tears and cry out all of my grief in privacy.
My bare feet raced over the soft green grass. Ignoring the shocked faces of the others, I ran to his quarters and threw myself down upon his bed. Big mistake.
Lying across his bed, I could smell his special scent. In the warmth of his blankets, I could feel him. If I wrapped them around me it almost felt as if he were holding me once again. My body shuddered and my eyes burned with my tears. My heart had broken and nothing would repair the pieces until he was safe in my arms again.
I never realized when the crying stopped and the ache in my center began.
All I could think about was Luster. His smile, his lavender eyes, his long flowing hair, his body. Every aspect of his being was being broken down in my mind and the pictures whirled around in my head.
I loved the way he touched me, the way my body responded to his touch. I shuddered in memory of our times in the enchanted pool, the water flowing over our bodies, the heat of his skin.
My whimpering became moans as I pictured what
