“Look at me,” my prince uttered. “Keep looking at me.”

I did. “Keep looking back.”

“I’ll never stop. Wherever I look, you will be the only vision that consumes me.”

Because he saw me. And he heard me. And he knew me. Because he was different, and I was different, and we’d never be the same again.

Our bodies vibrated like wires. It took a while to recover.

Jeryn caressed my knees, my thighs, my waist, my breasts. Watching me, he thumbed my nipples and savored how my eyelashes fluttered.

Desire bloomed across my flesh. His body spanned the ground, the tide of his blue hair shored on the grass. I splayed over him, the muscles of his stomach clenching under my gaping thighs. My gaze riveted on the place where my pussy grabbed his cock, enchanted by the sight to the point where a low growl crawled up his throat.

My arousal oozed down the prince’s flesh. Another rumble scrolled from his chest as he felt my insides grasp him to the base.

Then I unraveled like the sea, like a tail of flame. Bracing my palms on his chest, I swayed my waist. This lodged him higher, deeper.

Jeryn’s mouth unhinged, baring his teeth. And that was how I rode him, jutting my hips, stroking his cock. Each teasing swat pulled a groan from his lungs and threw me into a stupor.

Never did our gazes waver. Jeryn’s sharp eyes locked with mine, the wells deep and dark but open. So wide open for me, my reflection filling his pupils the same way he filled mine. In this secluded realm, nothing else existed. If we stood on opposite ends of a crowded room, it would be the same. And if we lived oceans and mountains and forests apart, he would still encompass me. I would still feel him, hear him, see him. Just as he would feel me.

My throat was clogged with too many emotions to endure. I channeled them into my movements, the force enhancing every sinuous circle of my hips. Poised above him, my thighs spread wider, sealed his cock in the cleft of my body, rowing my pussy over him.

Jeryn’s pupils bloated, his pulse point drumming against his neck. The vision ignited sparks down my spine, my walls dripping down his length, the connection astounding, how we rubbed together. I was so wet, and he was so hard, and we worked in tandem.

Pressing firmer onto Jeryn’s chest, I swiped my waist and brushed my fingers over his nipples. Tremors tracked down his frame, black pupils eclipsed his irises, and a hiss slipped from his tongue. Those reactions incited a delighted frenzy, power and ardor fueling me to exaggerate the movements, my curves grinding.

His palms slid to my ass, encouraging my thrusts. He lay there as I took him, as I indulged myself, as I pushed us closer to the brink. Anchoring me to him, boosting me above him, Jeryn gave me dominion over this, for as long as I needed. I fucked him, and I fucked myself, and I made love to us.

“Bewitching,” he urged. “You look so fucking glorious when you ride me. So gorgeous when you pleasure yourself. So stunning when you take my cock inside you. It’s excruciating. It’s paradise.”

Actions rather than endearments or comely words had always been his nature. Yet at his speech, blood rushed up my thighs. I sped up, galloping on him, sucking his girth into me. Exquisite tension swirled in the spot where our bodies clamped together. Moans poured from me, my body undulating like a wave, building and heightening. But not yet reaching.

Mist beaded across the sculpted plank of his torso, mingling with sweat gliding down the side of his throat. Cravings parched my tongue, so that my head dove, my mouth catching his neck like a prize in my net. He tensed and then slumped, his head flinging backward as my lips devoured his skin, my tongue tracing a vein and drawing in its thudding pulse. At the peak of his throat, the round part that bobbed whenever he swallowed, I latched on. And under his jaw, I licked while a rough sound tore out of him.

His grip tightened on my backside, burning me to the core. I marveled and ached for more of the forbidden, more of this felicity.

How could this feel primal and precious all at once? How could anything feel this elemental, like we’d been fated for this?

I chased my hips, chased his cock, chased the answers. Pleasure splintered from my mouth, one after the other, each noise falling into a collision with his sharp grunts. I relished the erotic sight of this future monarch, with sunburns and scars on his flesh, dewdrops on his temples, and his mouth unhinged.

He may have given himself over, offered his body so that I might find euphoria in the aftermath of terror. But I wasn’t the only one who’d survived this rainforest. We had done that together, and we would do this together as well.

I bent farther over Jeryn. My fingers sought his own, our digits threading and balling into fists on either side of his head, like a knot of our own making. Using this leverage, I lurched backward and forward with abandon, yanking shouts from the prince, which tangled with my sobs.

Skin slapped against skin. Hands squeezed together atop the grass.

How Jeryn managed to remain stable, merely watching and gripping and encouraging, I couldn’t fathom. Whereas I thrashed and writhed, he now recognized my torment, answered my call, and broke into motion.

Strength and stamina detonated beneath me. Releasing my fingers and bracing my buttocks once again, his hips launched upward, the head of his cock striking deeper, higher. It pitched to a narrow place that jolted me upward, moans scattering from my lips.

At the rhythmic friction, his cock thickened, and my pussy melted. Our eyes narrowed as we hauled ourselves into one another, the brimming ledge of his erection pumping and retreating, each pitch of our waists accompanied by unrelenting growls and plaintive cries. His ass propelled off the grass, the pace flinging my thighs apart. Like this, I took every concentrated snap of his hips, welcoming the profusion of heat unspooling inside me.

The dawning sun beat down on us. We worked for this, worked for each other. Like the times before, this would be earned and would be remembered long after we howled into the sky.

Elation gripped my heart, need poured from my cunt, and I climbed higher. Moans skittered from my lungs. Jeryn felt that ripple inside me, his muscles shuddering in response.

On a rasp, he seized my ass harder and heaved me into him, tugging my pussy over and over on his lap. For a moment, I went limp and let him steer me, enjoying the force of his hands, the magnitude of it. My body arched, my head flinging backward, my hair falling across my face.
