Chapter 63
Sera trails her fingers over the bumps and ridges of scars on his chest, rubbing the warm skin with her fingertips.
Her head leaned on Lucien's good shoulder, while her flushed naked body curled next to him. Both of them were still naked and sweaty, with bits of hay stuck in their hair like they were the only two people in the world.
Not wanting to be apart from him, she'd crept her other arm over the top of his torso with her ear pressed to his chest, listening to the strong heartbeat that beat there.
Lucien kisses the top of her head, staring up at the tin roof above them, taking in the moment.
"I want to marry you." He utters, as his fingers rub and circle the top of her bare shoulder.
Lucien continues, the drops of leaking rainwater punctuating his words with each plop into the metal bucket that sat in the shed.
"Before the gods and my people, declare you as my true Queen"
Drip. Drop.
"We can have atrue contract of matrimony this time, not the summoning contract that you signed before." Rubbing a hand over his face, he sighs. Maybe Sera needed time. Time to think. But he couldn't wait. She'd said she loved him, and that was good enough for him. To hell with whatever plan Icaros thought up. Once he got back to the castle, he was planning on making a clean sweep of the nobles, the ones who plotted against him and put his sweet Sera in danger.
"I'll marry you...But...." Sera tucks her hair behind her ear when she lifts her head off his chest to look at him with a serious expression.
The soft look in Lucien's eyes wavers a little, worried of what Sera was going to say.
"Let's become a proper family, the three of us." Sera smiles and kisses his chest.
"I'll give my all." He'd given the King's Word. Lucien wouldn't let Sera down.
And there it was. The dimple that had hid for so many years was back with Lucien's look of happiness as he sits up and kisses her.
All over, nipping at her nose and licking her neck like a large excited dog that makes her giggle. His newly cut hair trailing everywhere, now somewhat dry, made her squirm at the ticklish feeling. They roll about in the hay, until Sera's pressed beneath his powerful body again, and his eyes grow dark and sensual.
Sera covers his eyes with her hands, trying to shield herself from the gaze that could make her flare into a burst of flames.
"Wait, Lucien, we need to go back soon.. I don't think I can walk anymore at this rate."
With one more light, smacking kiss on the lips, Lucien's mouth quirks into a mischievous smirk.
"Don't worry. I can take care of you. I'll carry you all the way back to the castle." His fingers had already started to play with her folds, stroking the moisture there and enticing more to come out.
"Mmm..."
It didn't take long before Sera was tossing her head to and fro while his firmness rubs at her hidden spring. She looked like an erotic goddess of the harvest, with only the straw in her hair for adornment. Lucien breathed deep. This time, he would take her slowly, relish her taste on his tongue and all around him.
He hadn't entered her yet, as Sera's eyes grew watery with want, making her eyes shine in the moonlight like deep pools of honey.
"Ok?" He asks, using the word that Sera had taught him so long ago. No one said ok in Thornmere, only Sera, and Lucien, after she had taught him what that word meant.
Sera smiles dreamily. "Ok"
Sucking on her perfect little breast, he rubs against her again with the tip of his heat, and then carefully, slowly, pushed into her, opening her up like his own little flower.
"Urgh...You're sucking me in so deep"
Lucien mutters, feeling Sera's soaked flesh give way as he tunnels himself into her. So tiny, so perfect. Their frenzied lovemaking had helped take some of the edge off his hunger. Slow and steady he went now.
The aching sensation was slowly building within Sera as Lucien grits his teeth, groaning as he controls himself from giving in to the temptation of doing the usual ruthless pumping motion of his body entering hers. Caressing her think neck, her curved jaw, the cute button nose, he does short, sliding motions going in and out, working himself deeper into his lady.
Taking one slender hand in his large callused one, Lucien gives a gentleman's kiss to her ring, licking the skin around her finger and down to her wrist.
Sera's eyes never leaves his as she smiles, letting him do what he wanted and stroking her toes over his calf.
"Hmmm...ung"
Sera groans when Lucien pushes her knees up to her chest and works himself deeper into her, their bodies making squelching noises where they were joined.
Her legs were bent in an M-shape now, making her breathless as the temp begins to increase, though the pace was still slow.
"Tell me you love me. Tell me you love this. Our love making" Lucien gasps against her neck, as his teeth scrape against the pebbled flesh there.
"I love you.."
Sera trails off, eyes rolling into the back of her head as her hands grip the straw around her, anything to focus on besides the tsunami that was coming.
"And?" Lucien stops his movements. But his lips tickle her breast, and he nips at her bud, a small revenge for clenching so tight around him that it almost made him release himself.
"....." Sera forgot what he wanted her to say, so caught up she was with each hickey he would mark her with and the heat growing ever hotter in her drenched depths.
"What about our lovemaking, my Queen?"
Lucien gives her the tiniest of rubs with his stiffness against that sensitive spot that made her lips tremble.
"I love this!"
Those words were enough to make Lucien release the beast within himself from its cage. He lifts her up off the straw and atop him, rolling himself up and driving into her with frenzied motions.
Sera had to wrap her arms tightly around Lucien's corded neck to keep her from falling off his lap as he tossed her to and fro. Each time he pulled out of her, Lucien would pull back far enough that he would almost slip out and then slam deep.
Her inner walls couldn't help but roil around him as small orgasms spark like a chain of fireworks making her legs tremble. A big one was coming. Her body was telling her.
Lucien licks each breast that bounces up and down with each hard jostling of her body, tasting the sweet nubs. What would her breasts be like when she got pregnant with his seed? The thought makes him groan with hunger.
He'd never gotten to taste his Sera, looking so ripe for the plucking when she was pregnant with Leo. All because of the ridiculous rules. The image of her rounded belly, her cradling the life within it with a sweet smile, made warmth blossom in his chest.
Sera cries out and bites his neck, causing the image to dissipate but not the feelings of happiness he still had.
"So good.....love..you" her words come out jumbled as she can barely speak, lungs working to breathe hard to keep up with Lucien.
"Love..you!"
Lucien kisses her hard. A wet open mouthed kiss that swallows her cry as she finally comes, breaking apart into tiny pieces.
Her soaked inner walls spasm and clench tighter than ever, making Lucien groan in pleasure and close his eyes. Lucien's hard heat seems to almost shudder with the force of his ejaculation, no less than the other times they'd done it here in this shed.
Lucien thanks the gods as he pours himself into her. So lucky, to have found this one. So blessed that she'd come back to him.
Capturing her lips, he tastes the sweetness of her mouth, juicer than any fruit.
Sera moans as her tongue listlessly responds to his caresses, body exhausted from the extreme climax Lucien had brought her to.
Cradling her tightly to his bosom, Lucien leans against the wall of the shed, stroking her hair. He was still hard for her, but his lovely woman was tired.
"Sleep, beautiful Sera. I'll take care of you." He whispers in his low baritone voice. Sera leans her forehead against his strong shoulder, so reassuring, sleep finally overtaking her.
Vaguely, his words remind her of a moment a long time ago, with a scarred prince who'd only cared for battle. Even then, he had said he would take care of her.
