John POV
After the reception, I couldn’t wait to get Ember alone. There had been tension building between us all night, and now that we were finally away from prying eyes, I intended to make the most of it. I guided her through the grand hallways of the palace, past centuries-old portraits and ornate decor, until we reached my bedroom.
We had a little talk about me getting jealous and about the new investor in Solandia, Orion Blackwood. I promised to contain my jealousy, that I would work on it but she should not expect something grand to happen soon. It was an emotion I was not accustomed with and could not handle properly.
Jealousy. Even when Alya and I were growing up, there was no jealousy between us. Even when we knew she was going to be the queen of the kingdom. I had my own path to take, to lead the empire given to me by my grandfather, and I was fine with it. I worked better as a CEO than a leader of a kingdom.
“You look stunning,” I murmured as I focused on the woman in front of me, my lips brushing her ear. I knew I said something similar earlier, but I couldn’t help praising her beauty.
Ember shivered, leaning back into me. “Thank you.”
I kissed the exposed skin of her neck, trailing kisses down it as I slowly unzipped her dress. The sound of the zipper was loud in the silence of the closet, and I felt her tense slightly before relaxing into my touch. The dress slid down her body, pooling at her feet, leaving her standing in just her lingerie.
“Beautiful,” I said, admiring her reflection. “Absolutely beautiful.”
She blushed, looking away shyly. “You always say that.”
“Because it’s always true,” I replied, my hands sliding around her waist, pulling her close. I pressed a kiss to her shoulder. “Now, let’s get you ready for that bath.”
We moved to the en-suite bathroom, a marble oasis with a large, sunken tub that could easily fit two people. I started filling it with warm water, adding some oils and bubbles.
When the tub filled, I turned back to Ember, who was watching me with a mix of curiosity and desire. I stepped closer, my hands finding the clasp of her bra and unhooking it with practiced ease. I tugged her panties down, making them fall to the marbled floor. She gasped softly but didn’t protest as I guided her to the edge of the tub.
“Get in,” I said.
She complied, slipping into the warm water with a sigh of contentment. I quickly undressed, joining her in the tub. The water was soothing, and I felt the tension of the day melt away as I settled in behind her, pulling her back against my chest.
“This is nice,” she said softly, leaning her head back on my shoulder.
“Very nice,” I agreed, my hands skimming over her wet skin, caressing her gently. “I’ve been wanting to do this all night.”
She turned her head slightly, her lips brushing mine. “Me too.”
I captured her lips in a slow, sensual kiss, my hands exploring her body under the water. She responded eagerly, her fingers tangling in my hair as the kiss deepened. I felt a surge of desire, my need for her growing with every passing second.
“Let’s test that rabbit, shall we?” I whispered against her lips, my hand moving between her thighs.
She moaned softly, nodding. “Yes, please.”
I reached for the waterproof toy, turning it on and pressing it against her sensitive flesh. She gasped, her body arching against me as the vibrations sent waves of pleasure through her. I teased her with it, watching her writhe and moan, her reactions driving me wild. My erection showed how much I enjoyed watching Ember.
“Do you like that?” I asked.
“Yes,” she panted, her hands gripping the sides of the tub. “Oh, God, yes.”
When I increased the intensity, she moaned louder. I could feel her getting close, her body trembling with anticipation. I wanted to bring her to the edge and push her over, to see her lose control completely.
“Come for me, Ember,” I whispered in her ear. “I want to feel you come.”
With a cry, she did just that, her body convulsing in pleasure. I held her close, my own arousal throbbing painfully, but I was content to watch her pleasure.
“John,” she gasped, turning in my arms to face me. “I need you.”
Dropping the rabbit, I kissed her fiercely, lifted her out of the tub, and carried her to the bedroom. I laid her on the bed, her wet body glistening in the soft light. My need for her was overwhelming.
“I need you, too,” I said, climbing on to the bed and positioning myself over her.
I thrust my hips, our bodies joining in a frenzy of passion. Our movements became urgent and desperate, like we had been wanting it, craving for it the whole time since we last had s*x. f**k! It hadn’t even been twenty-four hours since our last time. The connection between us was electric, every thought, every kiss igniting the fire between us. It was a night of pure, unadulterated desire. A night that neither of us would soon forget.
Ember was a goddess, perfect underneath me. Hearing her moans and seeing her reaction as I rammed her only made me more lustful.
“No one else will touch you, Ember,” I said. “You’re mine now.”
“Yours, John. I’m only yours,” she replied in a hoarse voice.
It didn’t take long before she reached her orgasm. She breathed out my name, then gasped as I kissed her neck and then licked her jaw. “You’re such a good girl, love.”
From then, I knew I had to get my own release. I focused on Ember’s beautiful face as I continued ramming her. After a couple of minutes, I reached my peak, moaning Ember’s name as I did. It was a sweet end to the first round of that night.
After another round, we lay tangled in the sheets, our bodies spent and satisfied. Ember rested her head on my chest, her fingers tracing lazy patterns on my skin.
“That was amazing,” she said softly.
I smiled, kissing the top of her head. “It was. You are, too.”
