"Alaric…" she whimpered again, her body tightening, her pleasure cresting.
He stayed with her through every tremor, guiding her over the edge not once, but twice, savoring every moan, every shiver, every breathless cry of his name.
Only when she was trembling, spent, and utterly undone did he draw back, licking her clean with deliberate care.
Her body glistened with a sheen of sweat, her chest heaving as she struggled to catch her breath. Her heart pounded, the rapid rhythm like a song to him.
Alaric rose, leaning over her to capture her lips in a deep, lingering kiss, tasting her satisfaction as much as sharing his own.
"You're unbelievable," she whispered against his lips, her voice shaky yet laced with adoration.
"And you're irresistible," he replied, his smirk returning as his fingers brushed her flushed cheek.
Salviana let out a soft laugh, her arms looping around his neck. "You've ruined my sleep, Alaric."
