Chapter 144: Chapter 38

DARA

“I love it here with you, Ian.” His bonfire burns brightly as he braids my hair. I rest comfortably against his knee.

“I love you, Dara.” His declaration catches me off guard, prompting me to turn and face him.

“Do you really, or is it just moments like this that make you think that?” I know my feelings for him are genuine, and I need to know if his are as well.

His warm hand falls to my cheek as he looks deeply into my eyes. “Moments like this make it easier to love you. I do love you, truly. I’m surprised at myself. I never thought I would even talk to a Starlight Sister, yet I hate it when you’re not here. You’re the reason I wake up in the mornings. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

His eyes blaze as he awaits my response. My heart flutters like the wings of a hovering hummingbird. I knew love was an incredible emotion, but I didn’t realize it could be all-consuming.

“I feel love for you too, Ian. I think I have for quite some time, yet I wasn’t aware until recently. My thoughts fell to you instead of…”

His fingers cover my lips, stopping me from speaking. “It’s just us, Dara. Let’s not bring anyone else into our conversation.”

He kisses my nose then moves his fingers to comb through my hair. “Goddess, you’re the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on.”

“You’re very handsome, Ian. I am highly attracted to you. I enjoy the shape of your rear.”

Ian laughs, his eyes lighting up, and I don’t know what I said that was funny. He stops laughing, but his smile remains.

“I’m sorry for laughing. I’m glad you like my ass. I just never knew you were checking it out.”

“I like your body. It is very attractive.”

“I’m sorry, I can’t say the same. I tried to avoid seeing you naked as much as possible. I was trying to be respectful,” he tells me.

I rise to my feet. “Are you leaving?” he asks as he rushes to stand.

“I am not.” I reach for the bottom of my tunic to pull it up and over my head. Ian takes my hands, stopping me before I raise my clothing too high.

“Please, Dara. I’ve been dreaming of doing this every day,” he whispers as his hands glide up my arms and back down as he raises them above my head.

He slowly lifts my tunic, watching my eyes until they are lost within the fabric. Once my tunic is off, he steps back and looks intently at every inch of my body. “So beautiful. So perfect.”

He reaches out to the waistband of my leggings. His fingers hook inside, then he begins to smooth his hands down my legs. He gets to his knees, and I steady myself on his shoulders as I step out.

He caresses up my legs slowly, admiring every inch he touches. He reaches the apex of my legs, then looks up to me. My hands move to his cheeks and hair.

“Dara, I would love nothing more than to pleasure you.”

His thumbs rub small circles at my hips. “I would love for you to pleasure me. However, I was hoping we could do more together.”

Ian sniffs the hair of my sex. “I would like to get there as well, my love.”

I smile as he takes a taste of the wetness between my legs. His hums are lost to mine as he continues to lick me. Ian stops to remove his T-shirt, then lays me on top of it.

He kisses my lips gently, then continues to kiss downward until he’s between my legs again. My fingers curl into his hair as his ministrations cause me to become feverish and giddy.

His fingers begin to rub inside of me in a pleasing manner, and I’m quickly taken over by a refreshing wave. I pull him up so his face is level with mine.

“I consent,” I whisper. He looks deeply into my eyes with a small, yet incredibly attractive smile on his lips. He looks at my lips, then presses his to mine.

His body is warm against my breasts, and the subtle pressure feels as if he is part of me. His tongue presses into my mouth, then glides against my lips and tongue.

Everything about Ian is warm, which I find comforting. His lips, his tongue, his skin. Everything feels soothing and reassuring. His hands glide down my body while he continues to kiss me.

“I love you, Dara. I want to make love to you. Not just right now, but every moment of every day.”

I giggle at the absurdity. He removes his pants, and his member is hard as he touches it to my sex.

“Wait.” I breathe out. He stops to look at me. “I want to touch you first.”

His cute smile reappears on his face, and he nods. He guides my hand to his shaft. I am surprised at how soft his skin is, yet his shaft is firm and yielding at the same time.

I move my hand from the tip to the base and back. He hisses and closes his eyes with his head tilted back.

“Is this arousing?”

He nods with his bottom lip between his teeth. “It’s the most incredible feeling. Your hands feel amazing on my cock.”

He allows me to continue stroking him. Then I move my free hand to his sack. He grunts out, then stops my hands.

“You’re going to make me cum early,” he breathlessly says. “I want to cum inside of you... If you’re all right with that.”

“I do not understand what cum means.”

He licks his lips, then answers. “When I release. When I climax, my seed will spurt inside of you.”

“Yes. Release your seed inside of me. I am yours, Ian. I want your cock inside of me.”

He breathes harder, then presses his tip to my opening. He slowly pushes in, and the feeling of being filled causes my eyes to close.

Ian brings his lips to mine and kisses me as he presses in further. A slight sting causes me to hiss.

“I’m sorry. I’m trying not to hurt you.”

“No. I am all right. Please continue.”

Ian nods, then presses further in until he is fully seated. He looks into my eyes.

“Are you all right?”

I press my lips together and nod. “I’ve never felt anything so amazing in my life.”

He begins to pull back, then slowly push back in. “Me too, Ian. You are filling me up completely. It feels incredible.”

The more he pulls out and presses back in, the better it begins to feel. My body begins to move so I match his now steady rhythm.

The light from his flames dances across our skin as we unite in our lovemaking. Ian’s hair falls loose from its cord, draping over one side of his face. I reach up to move his locks, but I find myself enjoying the feel of the silken strands.

He hums and kisses my hand, continuously pressing into me. This is the most beautiful moment I have ever experienced.

He rests his forehead against mine. “Dara. You’re so incredible. Goddess, I can’t get enough of you.”

I hold his face and kiss him deeply. His hand hooks around one of my legs, pulling it to wrap around his body. I cry out as the sensation changes, sweeping me into another wave of rapture.

Ian bites his bottom lip and continues to press into and out of me. My body is alight and beyond my control. All that fills my mind is Ian as he continues to fill me.

He fills me up completely. Not just my body, but my entire being. It is as if he has become part of me and I part of him.

Tears begin to leak from my eyes and I touch my wet cheek in awe. Ian kisses my other cheek, removing the moisture. His kisses move to my neck and shoulders.

“This is where I will mark you as mine one day. My darling, my love.”

More tears seep from my eyes and joy fills my heart at the prospect of becoming his and his alone. I nod my head wildly. “Yes, yours. And you will be mine.”

Ian growls his delight and the vibration is felt deep within me.

“Ian!” I cry out as another wave crashes over me.

“Dara. I’m going to cum. Are you sure you want me to release inside of you?” he whispers, his movements becoming more erratic.

“Yes. Fill me up with your seed, Ian.” Another wave hits me and Ian grunts. Warmth spreads inside of me before Ian stills and we both catch our breath.

“I love you, Dara. Forever, I promise you,” he says. Another tear leaks from my eye and Ian smiles.

I tangle my fingers into his hair and pull his face to mine. “Forever. I will give up immortality to be with you. I love you with all I am.”

I place a kiss on his lips. Ian closes his eyes and takes in a deep breath. When his eyes open, they are full of life and promise. He licks his lips while nodding.

He sniffs once, twice, then wipes at his eyes.

“Ian?”

He smiles down at me. “I’m sorry. I’m overwhelmed. I’ve never felt this way before. I love you, but I feel your love for me too.”

He sniffs again and I see a tear escape his eye. I touch his cheek then pull his lips to mine. After kissing me until we both lose our breath, we make love a second time, then a third.

All night long we stay on the beach wrapped in each other’s warmth. Never in my life have I felt so complete, so full of joy and love, nor so happy.

The sun begins to rise and the gulls have taken flight. Ian is asleep as I lay my head on his chest. I’m tempted to touch him again, but I can feel his exhaustion.

His cock is as asleep as he is and my body, for the first time in my existence, is sore. I slowly stand then cover his nakedness with my tunic. I do not wish for anyone else to see what is mine.

The cool water licks my toes as I step in. The waves are soft today. I continue to walk until my breasts are covered by the water, then I sit.

My soreness dissipates and I find peace in the natural beauty all around me.

~Dara, my child. I require your assistance at the Ramirez pack. Take your partner with you, I require his presence as well.~ Mother’s voice enters my mind. Her requests are rare and therefore of the utmost importance.

~Yes, Mother. As you request.~

I return to the beach and provide healing for Ian. His exhaustion leaves his body and he opens his eyes.

“I am sorry to wake you.”

Ian smiles. “I’m waking to the most beautiful sight there is.” He runs his fingers through my hair.

I kiss his hand. “I have been summoned to the Ramirez pack. Mother asks that you accompany me.”

“Do I have time for a quick shower? I’m covered in sand and... you.”

I laugh and look him over. “Yes. We can both shower, if you would not mind.”

Ian chuckles then stands. “Absolutely.”
