Angel in Chains (8 page)

Aledyan's heart did a flip when he heard her answer. He hadn't expected her to answer right away. He had thought that she would want more time to say it, but the determination in her eyes was clear. She wanted him just as much as he wanted her.

Her answer
did funny things to him. He felt that he could let go of his self-control. Inez wouldn't be scared of him anymore, not now that she had accepted him into her life, forever. He would make her happy; very happy.

H
e raised his head and closed his arms around her, pressed her closer against his chest. He gasped when his lower parts pressed against her body, making him go almost crazy from desire. He needed her, and he needed her now. He heard her breathing fast, and she couldn't hide her desire from him when he let his hands explore her body. She leaned her head back when his mouth found her breast. When he saw her breast react to his touch, he grinned to himself and went to the other one, making her moan again.

When her hand went under the water
, and her gentle fingers closed around him he almost jerked out of the water. He hadn't expected that, and she giggled softly at his reaction. His body jerked again when she started to move her hand up and down on him, making him almost come from the sensation itself. He was so not used to this, but he enjoyed every second of it. He bit his lips together hard, but when she leaned down and licked his throat he lost all control.

“I'm going to ...” he gasped before his body
tensed. He threw his head back and his roar echoed in the cave while his body jerked under her. Not until she finally let go of him did he exhale and relax. His body felt heavy, and his head was spinning. It was a good feeling, one he definitely could get used to, but this made him realize also that he still had a lot to learn.

He opened his eyes
, and shame flooded him. The last thing he had expected was this. Things couldn't become more embarrassing. What would she think of him now? He expected to see disappointment in Inez eyes, but she smiled instead.

“I'm sorry.”

“Don't be,” she said.

“I'll do better next time, just give me a few minutes
, and I'll show you that I can last longer than that.”

She
chuckled again. “So you want more?”

“
Yes. I'm feeling far from satisfied, and we need to do something about your pleasure as well.” His face became serious. “Inez, you know that if we go the whole way I'll be set free.”

She nodded. “That's the idea, my love. The sooner you'll be set free the more time you'll have to find a solution to set me free as well. We still have two days before Yorin will be back.”

He frowned and smiled. “My love? I like that.”

She laughed. “Good, because I intent to call you that a lot.”

“I think I have to come up with something nice to call you too.”

She kissed him on the tip of his nose. “You do that. In the meantime
, I'll get myself dry.”

Inez got out from the w
ater, giving him a clear view of her body, making him grin and react. His body was definitely far from satisfied. He wanted to stay in bed with her for days, forget about the world outside and just enjoy everything they could do together. But there wasn't much time for that right now. Fear lingered in the back of his mind, he didn't know how this would end. Two days weren't much time to find an answer to the chains, but he would do everything in his power. He wouldn't let her down.

Never.

She was his life now, and however this ended he would make sure he stayed with her.

He stayed in the water and watched her while she dried herself. She gave him a grin
, and Aledyan wondered what that teasing look in her eyes meant. It didn't take long before he found out. Inez started to make slow, seductive moves with the towel around her body, caressing herself with it. She bent, turned and then bent slowly again, always hiding her secret parts from his view with the towel. She was giving him a show, and it made him ache for her.

“Are you trying
to seduce me?” he asked.

“
Am I doing a good job?”

Aledyan swallowed and couldn't ignore
how his longing grew for her again. It had never died after what her sweet hands had done to him. It had only been calmed for a while, and now it came back with full force. If he didn't have her soon, he would burst.

“You sure are,” he said and
stood up.

Her
gaze lowered to his groin. “I can see that.”

Aledyan enjoyed having her eyes on him. He would let her look at him and touch him all she wanted once they were out of
the cave. But right now all he wanted was to carry her to his bed and show her whom she belonged to.

He barely gave himself time to dry his body. He was in a hurry
, and Inez noticed it. She giggled while he let the towel quickly graze his body before he threw it to the ground and pulled her up into his arms, heading straight for his makeshift bedroom.

Aledyan
laid Inez down on the bed. The new linens smelled nice, fresh. If Yorin hadn't brought them, he would have refused to use the bed for their love making. Instead, he would have made it cozy for them by the pool. The mattress were also old, but it could have been a lot worse.

Aledyan leaned over Inez. He saw her smile and her small hands started to explore him while they
looked at each other. Her hands were gentle, and her touch felt so wonderful that he thought he would go crazy soon if he didn't take her. He longed to hold her, to be close to her and never let go.

With one swift move
, he pushed her thighs apart and placed himself on top of her. Inez didn't protest, instead she wrapped her arms around him and pushed him down on her. He almost crushed her with his weight, but Inez didn't seem to care. He tried to lift off her a little, but she didn't let him. She wanted him close.

When her lips started to explore
him, he became lost in a world of pleasure that he hadn't known until now. Her hands were everywhere, touching, squeezing and enjoying every inch of him. She made him moan and long for more. His head was spinning, and reality didn't matter anymore. Only she existed.

The only thing he needed to do to enter her was to push his hips forward. He could feel with the tip of his shaft that she was ready
for him, but he waited. It was almost pure torture, being this close and not doing what his body wanted him to do. He knew that once he started he wouldn't be able to stop. He needed Inez to be completely aware of what would happen if they went the whole way, but right now she seemed to be as lost in pleasure as he was.

He let his mouth taste her breasts. She arched her upper body
toward his mouth while a loud moan left her throat.

“Do
it,” she said with a hazy voice.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I need you.”

She suddenly moved and grabbed his
haunches with her hands. In the next second, she pushed his hips down against her private area, and he felt himself glide into her with one swift move. Aledyan's brain was too foggy to realize what she was doing before it was done. He had wanted to give her a few more minutes to reconsider everything before he entered her, but Inez apparently had other plans.

Somewhere in the distance he heard her
moans of pleasure before his mind went blank. He started to move his hips, slowly. Inez groaned under him, but he heard the frustration and impatience in her voice. She wanted more. She lifted her hips to meet him halfway, and her hands - that still laid on his haunches - pressed him down against her. She showed him clearly that she needed him to move faster.

Aledyan responded to her need. There was nothing else he could do.
He was too lost in the sensation. He barely remembered when he had started kissing her, but it didn't matter. The taste of her was a trigger like no other, especially when her tongue intertwined with his. His fast breathing switched between his loud moans and screams that echoed in the cave. The sounds that Inez made didn't ease his desire either. Instead it had the opposite effect on him, and he knew he wouldn't last.

Somewhere in the back of his mind he noticed that the chains started to get warm around his wrists, just like last time. He knew that if he came inside her
he would be set free, and Inez would take his place.

For a short minute
, he sobered and met her gaze, telling her what was going on with one simple look. He couldn't stop, there was no turning back,
and anxiety shot through him momentarily as he thought that Inez would change her mind. But she nodded, and determination crossed her passion-filled gaze.

Aledyan grabbed her wrists and placed her arms above her head, never letting go of her wrists. He leaned his cheek ag
ainst hers and closed his eyes.

“I love you,” he whispered, feeling
the chains becoming even warmer.

Aledyan's
hips started to work faster and harder than before, and once again his mind fogged. The pleasure overtook him, and he could no longer hold back. He felt Inez tighten around him, and seconds later his roar mixed with her screams of pleasure.

The chains almost burned his skin.

And then the burning feeling was gone.

It
was quiet. The only thing Inez heard was Aledyan's fast breathing against her ear, and her own calming breaths. He still lay on her, making it a little bit difficult to breathe, but she didn't care. She enjoyed having him near, and she wanted to put her arms around him, but he was still holding her wrists. She could feel his heartbeat against her chest, and his skin felt sticky with sweat.

Slowly he raised his head and their gazes met. A satisfied smile spread on his
face.

“Are you alright?” he asked.

“Yes,” she said. She only felt sore in all the right places.

“That was amazing
.”

Inez grinned.
“I think you are going to enjoy it a lot more in the future.”

“How come?”

“Because there's so much more we can do than the things we just did.”

He grinned
back. “I see. You will have to teach me all about it.”

“I intend to.”

She tried to move her arms, but Aledyan didn't let her. His grin faded when he looked up at her hands.

“Inez ...” he started slowly. “Please, whatever happens now, trust me. I will never
let you down, and if I fail I will return to stay here with you.”

“What are you talking about?”

Under a moment of pure passion, her mind had gone blank, but now when she was slowly returning to her senses, everything started to come back. With a gasp, she looked above her head, and what she saw made her heart almost stop.

The chains
were around her wrists now.

Aledyan was free.

“Inez ...” he said again when she looked at him with shock. She knew this was coming, and had thought she was prepared for it, but now when it was done she realized she was far from ready. Panic grabbed her.

“It's alright,” Aledyan hushed her
, and lied down beside her before he cuddled her into his arms, gently caressing her arms and back to calm her. “Everything is going to be alright. Don't worry, just breathe.”

Tears ran down her cheeks.
Aledyan brushed them away with his fingers. He allowed her to cry out in his arms without saying another word.

She wanted to pull her arms close to her chest, but the chains were too big
, and in the way. They were cold too, and she didn't want them against her naked skin. The chains were heavy and their presence was both frightening and uncomfortable. She doubted she would ever get used to them, but she hoped she would never have to. Aledyan would find an answer, she told herself.

After
what felt like hours, she finally became quiet. The linens beneath her were wet from her tears, and a part of Aledyan's arm also, but he didn't say anything. Her eyes felt warm, and she knew they were red. She didn't need a mirror to confirm it.

Aledyan held her tight, n
ot letting go. His embrace felt almost desperate, and one glimpse at him made her see his pain. He looked far from happy. Instead, she saw sorrow, worry and longing written all over his face. She knew they couldn't stay like this for long. He had to leave soon to find a way to set her free, but there were so many things that could go wrong. The risk of him failing was greater than the risk of him succeeding, and time was against them.

“What are you going to do?” she asked.

He tugged her closer before answering. “I will return home, and talk with my friends and family. I'm hoping that they can help. Maybe they know something that I don't.”

“
It's been a long time since you've been home,” she said almost whispering.

“Don't worry. They wi
ll be happy to see me. After all this time, we will have a lot to talk about, but after you have been set free first.”

She knew what
was coming now. Hours or days of loneliness within these cave walls, maybe even death if Aledyan failed. He had to leave her alone in the dark without knowing what was going on, if he was closer to an answer or not. Maybe this was the last time that she held him in her arms, and maybe this was the last time that she saw him ...

She shook her head
, and refused to let her thoughts get the better of her.

She wanted this moment to last. Everything inside
of her screamed, but she had to refrain from giving in to her grief and fear. If he stayed they were both dead. If Yorin found her here ...

She shook her head again
, and didn't dare to think about what would happen if Aledyan failed to return in time. They had two days, or so Yorin had said, but what if he chose to come back sooner?

Yet again, an
other thought she refused to let surface.

She didn't want him to go, she needed him to hold her, to feel the warmth of his skin
, and always feel his presence. Without it, she would not last. It was strange how someone could become so important to her in a matter of a few days, but it was there, and she didn't want to change a thing.

“You must go,” she said against his chest, almost biting her own tongue for speaking the words that could take everything
away from her.

“I just want five more minutes.”

“Me too.”

He placed one of her legs against his hip
, and placed his own leg between hers, tucking her as close to himself as possible. The heat from his body and his breathing against her neck had a calming effect on her. His hands moved slowly around on her back and arms, making these five minutes the best five minutes of her life.
