South African Saga: Domhnall - Chapter 30 - Page 7 (2024)

All the while he told her about himself, his past, his present, and his future dreams for himself and his family.

"I will need a manager to take over the business for me, but I intend to keep working on my games. That is more of a hobby than a job. Sloan already helped me make the eye-ware for my latest game, so I may as well get that one done. Ivan and Max usually find beta testers for the games, but I think I need permanent testers. People on a payroll."

"People are more willing to help if you pay them," she said. Her eyes remained closed as he poured water over her head to rinse away the conditioner. He already ached for her, but she had given up so much, and done so much for him and his family that day, she deserved to be pampered.

Though he told her to go wait in the bedroom, she stayed while he washed, and discussed everything they still had to do. Domhnall had made several promises he intended to keep, but it would take time and he did not know how much. That night belonged to them. No matter what came next, he would at least have one night with his mate.

Refreshed and settled on the bed, Domhnall suddenly felt nervous. Staring into Ailsa's eyes, he realized he was feeding off her emotions.

"This is not our first time," he said.

"No. But it feels that way. I have never laid beside you completely exposed to you."

He knew she did not refer to her unclothed state. Since she revealed her scars, she slept naked beside him. She had dropped all her blocks to open herself to him. He struggled, but he tried to do the same for her. Until that moment he had not realized how much of himself he hid from his family and from her. He had to. His family made him feel like a freak and the responsibility of a pride made him think that he would seem weak if he revealed his true emotions.

He tried to hide his face against the pillow, but she pulled his head against her shoulder and allowed him the time he needed to mourn his father and the loss of his youth. His brothers and cousins would call it self-pity, but they could never understand the energy it took out of him to hold everything inside for so long.

His urgency to claim his mate dried his tears. With his actions, he revealed how much her body had tormented him during the day. Her dressed, the orange and blue ones, pushed her breasts up and together, revealing those orbs for everyone to see. He feasted on the like a starved babe. He had large hands, but they spilled over the sides, offering him more to devour.

Each scar received the attention of his tongue and lips. He circled her belly button a few times, before descending. Though he wanted to plunge into her, to feel her wrapped around him, he wanted a taste first. He pushed her legs open and up until her knees touched her chest. And then he took a long, slow lick from the bottom to the top, adding a little pressure as he passed over her clit.

Her cries and moans urged him to continue. He licked, nipped, and delved deep into her honey pot to drink her nectar. When she came down from her first orgasm, he began again, even spreading some of her moisture between her cheeks. She thrashed about and screamed her release when he pushed past her barrier with a finger, entering that forbidden place.

Domhnall could not take more. He flipped her onto her hands and knees and penetrated her in one stroke. She pulled away from him and slammed back, telling him exactly what she wanted. He could not have gone slow even if she wanted it that way. He grabbed hold of her hip with one hand and her shoulder with the other, and pounded into her. Their flesh slapped together in a fast pace until she tightened around him. He clenched his jaw, needing her to reach her peek before he could claim her once and for all.

Then she pulled away from him. One second she was flat on her stomach and the next she had straddled his lap.

"Together. We claim each other the same way we will do everything in our lives. Together."

Domhnall almost spilled that second. No lion he knew ever allowed a female to claim them. And yet he had no desire to stop her. They went into the union as partners and they would continue in everything life threw at them as partners.

Domhnall relinquished control to Ailsa when she lowered herself over him. He ground his teeth and held onto her hips to keep her from falling backwards. But soon he pushed up as she came down, moving in sync with each other. Working together to reach their peeks.

She struck first. Domhnall had one second to feel her tighten around him before her teeth lengthened and sank into his shoulder. Outraged by being claimed, Hephestus pushed forward and bit the flesh between her neck and shoulder: the same place he had marked before.

Spent, though he did not remember spilling his seed, he lowered his grinning mate to the bed.

"You deserve a spanking for that." Hephestus was still close to the surface and added his growl to Domhnall's voice.

"Next time. I can't keep my eyes open long enough to enjoy it. But remember, we are in this together and I get to explore too. I already have a few tricks I want to test on you."

Had he any energy left, he would have insisted they try some of her tricks that second, but he crawled tucked her under the blanket and gathered her against him.

"I will hold you to that. If we are lucky, we may have the entire day to explore each other when we wake up."

"May the goddess watch over us and our family tonight, and bring forth a bright new day with many possibilities."

Domhnall did not want to tempt fate, but he wondered what would happen next to ruin his dreams.

That is the end of Domhnall's story. For now. He will feature in future stories, since he promised to help his siblings.
