Chapter 32: Annalise

Annalise couldn't help but laughed. Only Jameson would think to mark her his own just before her wedding. "I imagine it will. Though, all parties are aware that I've no love for Alion. It wouldn't be so surprising for me to have..."

He kissed her, his lips hot against her own. "Annalise..."

She looked into his eyes, lost in the passion she found burning in them, and nodded. He didn't need to finish his question, there was nothing she would not give him. Nothing she would not risk for him. "I am yours."

He nodded pulling her dress the rest of the way off. "I wasn't going to... I had convinced myself that I should wait until we wed, so that you would be fresh for your husband... but I had already convinced myself that I would be the man you marry. I intend to show you what you mean to me, Annalise, the only way I know how."

She nodded as his fingers traced down her body, leaving sparks of anticipation everywhere they touched. His calloused fingers were a welcome memory against her breast and thighs and they brought not only remarkable pleasure but memories of their other encounters. Next his lips moved down her chest and stomach, nipping, kissing, licking down until they found her most sensitive area. Gently, yet rushed, he pushed her thighs apart lowering himself so that his breath warmed her core. His tongue traced her, wetting her in the most sensual way possible. Without her notice her hands slipped into his silky hair pulling him closer. His tongue's dance continued for several more minutes before he pulled away looking down at her with wild desire lighting his grey eyes.

"I need you, Annalise. All of you." He pulled his shirts over his head in one fast motion revealing his chest that was more toned than before.

She reached up and traced her fingers down his ridged abs and he jerked at the sensation. "You look more muscles than I remember."

He chuckled. "I had a lot to work out while we were apart... I spent a lot of time training."

"I didn't realize I was keeping you from your routine."

He laughed as he kissed her, their bare chests pressed together. "The only routine you kept me from was sleep. I spent so many nights laying next to you thinking about this moment." His hips settled between hers and the he looked down at her causing her heart to race. "I will do my best not to hurt you, Annalise but it will be comfortable at first, perhaps even painful."

She reached up cupping his checks. "I trust you, Jameson."

He nodded at her before pressing his hardened self against her opening. Then while kissing her he move his hips ever so slightly forward. She winced slightly as a sharp pain ran though her but she was determined not to worry Jameson. He waited a minute, kissing her all the while, and then moved his hips once more going deeper but this time as he claimed her virginity the hot streak of pain that shot through her brought tears to her eyes. The panic on Jameson's face made her laugh though, distracting her from the now fading pain.

"What?" He asked looking mortified.

"If only you could see your face." she laughed wrapping her arms around his back.

He sighed. "I was worried I hurt you."

"It hurt, but I want this, Jameson. I have for a long time."

He nodded, bringing his lips to hers, as he began to move once more. Gently he moved in and out of her and it took no time at all for her pain to transform into pleasure. Her fingers dug into his shoulders as her, nails biting slightly, as her hips arched off the floor to meet him. His tongue danced with hers as his hips moved faster. He was now filling her completely with every thrust and her thoughts were escaping her.

"Jameson... I love you."

"And I you." He said as he met her eye. "Thank you." He whispered so softly she was sure she wasn't meant to hear.

Saying nothing in response she tilted her hips more changing the feel of him completely. Her body felt like it was on fire, a sensation she'd felt with Jameson before but on an entirely different level. She was burning up and ready to burst as she began to spiral, losing herself in the constant thrusting of his hips. He leaned down kissing her and she lost all control, her body tensed and waves of pleasure exploded through her taking away everything but sweet numbness.

As she laid, floating on her wave of pleasure Jameson tensed and then collapsed atop of her, groaning.

"Annalise..."

"We... actually. I'm honestly shocked that this happened."

"As am I. Perhaps I shouldn't have but I am thanking the Seven Idid. But we should..."

"I'll go to the infirmary tomorrow and get bitter herb. You don't need to worry about children until we're married."

"Thank you, Annalise. You have no idea how that eases my worry."

"Can we stay here forever?" She said laying her head on his chest, his heart beating rapidly against her cheek.

"If only we could, my love. But it's winter, you need to sleep in a bed."

She sighed as she sat up grabbing her clothes. "Fine. So long as you're still here in the morning."

"I will never leave you again."
