Hope and Piras
She watched as Piras parted the resealable seam of his one-piece armored uniform along the front. He peeled the top off his shoulders, giving her a nice, long look at the most streamlined of her clanmates. Though his heavy jaw kept his otherwise delicately featured face from absolute elegance, rendering it interesting instead of merely handsome, nothing kept his body from lithe, toned grace. He was poetry made flesh; a lyric composed to float on the air. His strength of character, though hidden in this moment, added to the perfection she’d seen every day since he’d clanned her.
Her heart ached from love for him. If you only knew how you own me.
She wished he’d dared to raise his gaze to hers rather than in downcast submission so perhaps he could see what words would never be able to convey.
He paused when his uniform reached his waist to pull his boots off. He stepped on the blanket as each foot bared. Even his slender feet and their long toes were lovely.
He finally glanced up, a wordless request for her permission, then inched the uniform past his waist, hips, thighs, and calves. Bent, he tugged it all the way off and dropped it in a heap at the corner of the blanket. Then he slowly straightened, giving her an unimpeded view an inch at a time.
How often had she seen him naked? As often as he’d stolen her breath, she was certain.
She stepped close, gazing up into his eyes, which finally met hers. She’d seen him red-faced in rage, his features contorted as bestial as Kila had ever managed. She’d seen him cold, somehow deadlier when his intent was merciless in its focus. That was Dramok Piras outside the bedroom, a force no sane person dared to oppose.
For her, when they were alone and intimate, the loving Piras emerged, devoted to her with a single-mindedness that meant just her happiness mattered. This was the Piras who looked at her now, at once yearning, loving, and eager to offer her everything he was.
Her fingertips traced his straight nose, his arched brows, the delicate cheekbones, the far less delicate jaw. She drew him close for a kiss so sweet it was nearly chaste. “I love you,” she whispered against his lips, so he could feel and taste the words as well as hear them.
“My Matara.” His voice was choked from emotion. “My everything.”
Her hands slid down his neck to his shoulders. She touched his arms, then his torso, drinking in her unbelievable fortune to have earned such an incredible person in her life. She adored Lokmi and Kila no less, but Piras’ submission allowed her to truly bask in how lucky she was, to appreciate the treasure she’d been granted.
Her hands curved to cup the roundness of his buttocks. His skin was velvet on granite muscle, an enthralling juxtaposition. Hope wasn’t surprised to feel wet warmth sliding from her pussy. Whatever she wished, Piras would give her. Her thoughts found the middle ground between sentiment and carnal lust. She had to have this man who excited her heart, body, and soul.
His cocks stood at stiff alertness, another two points of graceful beauty. He was wet and craving her. She traced a finger on a distended vein, then licked his natural slickness from it. Sweet and spicy at once, better than how he smelled. She quelled a groan.
“Lie on the blanket on your back, my lovely Piras.”
