Chapter 316: Night of Love** (Part One)

Annalise fell asleep as soon as her body hit the soft mattress after a long and very tiring day. Once again, she was all alone in her room as she drifted deep into a dreamless slumber. Her husbands had been busy for the past couple of weeks, leaving her to sleep on the huge bed all alone.

She wasn’t sure how much time had passed since she fell asleep when she suddenly felt movements around her that started bringing her out of the world of sleep. She struggled to open her eyes, but her eyelids were too heavy to be lifted.

Through the haze clouding her mind, she felt the press of questing lips against her own – so soft, yet firm with urgent heat. The tip of a tongue thrust deep into her mouth. It pried open her teeth and entwined itself with her tiny tongue, so forceful that it seemed to be trying to swallow her whole.

Despite her fuzzy brain and closed eyes, her body and soul immediately recognized the familiar presence of all three of her husbands in the room, and the one currently kissing her was none other than Kenric.

His hands traveled down her body as if feeling every inch of her before they returned to take care of the clothes that were hiding her from him.

Layer by layer, her robes were peeled away from her, slowly revealing the fair, milky expanse of her skin and the exquisite form of her petite body. The chill of the winter grazed her body for a mere second before she was enveloped in the warmth.

A part of her still fuzzy brain realized that only Kenric was touching her while her other two mates were nowhere near her.

Warm hands moulded themselves to her soft, snowy mounds, and began kneading her flesh with wanton desire. The tiny buds on her chest flushed and tightened into sharp, crimson points. They trembled lightly, as alluring as red plum blossoms in bloom atop snowy peaks.

Her eyes finally flew open as Kenric ended the kiss and pulled away, and she found herself gazing into his beautiful deep eyes that were glowing with the bright firey rings around his irises. He gave her another soft kiss on her lips before he moved.

Bending over, he took one of her already erect nipples into his mouth. He nibbled and sucked gently at the bud, refusing to let go even for a second. At the same time, he ran a hand down her slender waist to grope her hips.

A slight tingling sensation started to spread from her chest. Little by little, the tingles seeped into every inch of her body, and she began trembling without realizing it.

Those warm hands continued with their downward slide. They parted her slender, shapely legs with ease, and the burning hardness between Kenric’s legs pushed between her thighs to press against her downy, tender flesh.

Then, it began teasing her.

Slowly grinding. Slowly nudging.

Light and persistent as rain on her skin, lingering kisses flitted across her body. They trailed from the corners of her eyes to her brow, swept down her soft neck and delicate collarbone to scale the swell of her perky breasts. Then, after roaming down the winding contours of her waist, they returned at last to her trembling lips.

(A/N: here ’they’ is used for kisses and not lips. So, only Kenric is kissing her.)

His expert hands and mouth were making her entire body writhe under sweet pleasure, and a shade of pink took over her skin as she moaned in pleasure and desire.

The prominence on the Kenric’s throat bobbed a little as he pulled back to look at her beautiful appearance. The heat in his strong, well-built body intensified with every passing second as his eyes captured the beauty of his mate. She looked just like the Queen ruling his heart that she actually was.

One of his hands found its way to the apex between her legs, prying open her wet folds and finding the little bud hidden there. A mere rub of his thumb against it sent his mate crying as tingles of pleasure shot through her entire body.

He continued to rub her bud with his thumb while two of his fingers found their way into her entrance, sending her pleasure another octave higher.

His fingers expertly massaged her in all the right places, as if he had read and crammed every single inch of her body in his mind. He knew exactly where and how he needed to touch her in order to make her indulge in the sweet moments of pure ecstasy.

Annalise felt herself reaching the very peak of pleasure when, in the very next breath, Kenric pulled away his hand, leaving her hanging by a thread.

A groan of disappointment left her lips as Annalise glared at the Autumn Prince with disapproval-filled eyes.

But her mate didn’t keep her waiting for too long. Parting her legs even further, he eased himself there in a comfortable position before he slowly pushed his burning length into her opening.

Then, palms pressing down on her legs, he bunched his hips and thrust into her, hitting home deep inside her in one single push.

"Ahh..." she cried out, sweet as an oriole’s song, striking a lasting chord in the very soul of the listener. A violent shudder tore through her body, her lower belly tightened and clenched down hard on the intrusion.

She looked up, and looming above her, gazing down with glassy eyes full of desire, was her mate.

"I did disturb your sleep, right?"

The question came so randomly that Annalise couldn’t help but chuckle. She nodded her head as she replied, "I was having a really good time sleeping."

Kenric smiled, the kind where it appeared almost like he was either giving out a challenge or accepting one and then stated in a whispered voice - "Then let me make up for my fault. I promise I will make you feel much... much... better."

Instead of words, Annalise responded with a loud moan as he started moving, pulling, and then pushing inside her.

On the other hand, Kenric was also slowly losing his mind as Annalise’s tender flesh squeezed around him. Convulsing, her insides clung tightly to his hardness as warm, honeyed juices gradually washed over the head of his straining member.

Clasping her by her tiny waist, he thrust forward with added force and buried himself completely into her softness all over again, making her moan while he was unable to suppress the groan that escaped through his lips.

Kenric buried his face into the crook of Annalise’s shoulder and inhaled deeply, trying to calm himself down. It had been so long since the last time he was buried in her like this and the build-up desire inside him was threatening to take complete control over him. But he didn’t want to hurt her because he couldn’t handle his emotions and needs. So, he was taking his time.

"Are you alright, Kenric?" Annalise asked as she reached out and touched his spine softly.

Kenric flinched with a jolt of pleasure as he felt her gentle fingers caress his spine, his hardness thickened in response while he bit down on the tender skin of her throat to make her moan in pleasure as well.

"I missed you so much, Little Bird. I can’t wait for all this damn thing about the dark energy to get over. I swear I will lock you up in my palace and will make you moan in pleasure all day and night." He whispered into her ear before he softly nibbled on her earlobe.

"Well, that sounds so tempting," Annalise whispered back as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss.

This time, the kiss was soft, sweet, and slow, but still carried the depth of passion and desire that was burning both of them.

"Kenric, keep moving," she whispered to him as she wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed into him, causing both of them to moan.

"As you wish," he growled as he hugged her hard and then started a new round of deep and fast thrusting. He was hitting the sweet spot deep inside her every time he pushed in and Annalise couldn’t help but delve deeper into the ocean of pleasure that was flooding her body.

She had missed her mates, missed their kisses and touches... and she had missed how good they could make her body feel.
