Page 151 of Riv's Sanctuary

His jaw clenched with every thrust and it was obvious he was holding back the majority of his strength.

He was indeed thicker at the base.

Every time he pulled out, his reentry was like an increase in levels till she was stretched to the limit.

She wasn’t sure she could take it, her legs already felt like jelly, but she wanted it so bad.

As another orgasm shook through her, Riv held her close, the spasms of her cunt drawing his own orgasm from him, and when he finally collapsed beside her, pulling her against him, a smile graced her lips.

The only sound that remained was the sound of their labored breathing.

When she woke the next morning, she was alone.

Lauren rubbed her eyes, stretching as her vision adjusted to the fact she was awake.

She felt not-surprisingly achy.

After the mindblowing sex they’d had, Riv hadn’t seemed to be able to get enough.

He’d reentered her again and again, the memory of which caused a big smile to spread across her face.

Had the day before really happened?

If the dull ache between her thighs was the answer, then it was a resounding affirmative.

Heading to her room she got a fresh tunic and padded out to the main room, checking the bandages covering her palm as she did.

The blisters were scabbed over and no longer red. She could probably take the bandages off now. That would surely give her some more mobility.

As she came upon the main room, a sliver of excitement ran through her.

Riv was probably up early like he usually was, taking care of the animals, and as she walked through the corridor and opened the door, she wasn’t surprised to see him doing just that.

He was shirtless again today and she watched him stretch to throw some hay into the purple almost-giraffe’s cage.

He turned as he was about to lift another bale of hay and his eyes landed on her.

The world stopped for a second as they looked at each other and Lauren held her breath.

What if everything had gone back to how they were before?

What if yesterday had been a one-time thing?

But when a slow smile curved Riv’s lips, the burst of glee that popped within her told her the truth: this was real.

This was happening.

Riv was smiling.

For the first time ever, she saw that emotion on his face and it was life-changing.

He let the hay fall at his feet as he stripped off his gloves and walked towards her slowly, his eyes never leaving hers.

Seeing him approach like that, all she could do was squeeze her thighs together. There was a need growing within her immediately and the way he was looking at her wasn’t helping.

Riv’s eyes moved from her toes straight up her naked legs to pause at the hem of her tunic.
