Lynn dropped her hand to his cock and Padon froze. His eyes opened wide. She read the desire in his gaze as if it were written on a bright neon sign saying this way to ecstasy. She swallowed the laugh that threatened at that silly thought and ruled it as nerves. Padon was one hot, sexy man. It was obvious from the stiffness of his cock the feeling was mutual.
Delicately she ran her open palm along the velvety soft skin stretched to capacity along his shaft. He moaned when she cupped his balls and his thumbs rewarded her nipples by circling them in a sensual caress that made her pussy clench. Damn, this was killing her, but she wanted this to be an experience neither of them would ever forget. At least that’s what she hoped. Lynn shook off the nervous twitter forming in her gut and released his cock. She abruptly turned and moved to the tub.
“I want to take a shower,” she said.
She started the water, tested the temperature until it was comfortable then switched it to the shower. Lynn faced Padon with a big smile as she slid her panties down her legs and stepped out of them. “You want to join me?”
As she stood naked in front of him, her insides knotted and she couldn’t breathe as she awaited his approval.
He licked his lips hungrily as he nodded. “Thy wish is mi command, mi wee one.”
Padon’s jaw went slack and it was all he could do not to let his tongue loll out of his mouth like a dog at the wondrous sight of Lynn in all her glory. She was beyond beautiful. From the tip of her pert little nose to the spiked nipples of her heavy breasts down her smooth abdomen to her hairless mound. His eyes widened at the sight of no hair between her thighs. Sex in the waterfall had been hard and fast and he did no remember the fact her mound was smooth. Was she born that way or did she strive to keep it that clean? Och. His heart pounded heartily within the walls of his chest.
He took her hand and kissed her wrists, then slid his hands along her arms to her shoulders, down her back to cup the soft round globes of her arse. He wanted to keep touching her and never stop. Womanly curves in all the right places.
“Mi wee one, ye are truly a magnificent woman,” rasped from his lips right before he captured her mouth in a tender kiss. Padon lifted her in his arms and stepped into the tub.
Refreshingly warm water sprayed them from a round object hanging from the wall. For a split second, he stared at it until Lynn kissed him, returning his attention to her. She slid down his body, turning him on at every brush of skin on skin. Her nipples touched his, sending a bolt of need to tighten his bawls. Even though she was much shorter than he, she was perfect for him.
When her feet touched down, she grabbed a bar of soap and lathered his chest. This was the first time a woman had ever bathed him since he was a bairn. If he remembered correctly, he fought those, but this one was different. The trail of her hands and lavender-scented foam set his skin aflame. He wanted her never to stop when she gathered his cock and bawls in her delicate hands and washed him as if he were a precious prize. It took every ounce of inner strength he could muster not to come in her hands. He swallowed hard then captured her wrists, tenderly tugging her hands free of his shaft.
He lowered until his forehead touched hers and their gazes met. “If ye continue ta lavish mi with such wonderful attention, I fear I shall be spent. ’Tis no how I wish this evening ta go.”
Lynn grinned then released him. She turned him to face the water and helped rinse off the suds. Her hands on his back sent a tingle down his spine and soothed any ache his muscles may have had. The way she washed him had him on fire with need to be buried within her heat. Never had his cock felt so hard to the point he thought it might break should he bump it against something. He lifted his face into the steady stream, gasping for control. Her pleasure was first and foremost his top concern. When she urged him to face her, he doubted he’d last if she touched his cock again.
Padon grasped the soap from her before she could place it back in its holder. “Mi turn, mi wee one.”
The hoarseness in which his words were spoken surprised him. Her beautiful ways not only had him hard, but made it difficult for him to speak as well. Och, what magic had she weaved upon him? Feeling the fullness of her breasts in his palms as he washed them whisked away that thought. He truly cared not if she’d cast a spell upon him, especially if it meant he got to spend time with her, caressing every inch of her beautiful body.
Slowly he lowered to his knees, washing and rinsing her flesh. The sight of her nipples protruding through a trail of suds made him smile at the sudden thought of snowcapped mountains. He stretched upward and nipped a tender bud playfully, which rewarded him with a sensual moan from somewhere deep inside her throat. The sound nearly undid his resolve to taste her before he entered her. Padon shuddered, grappling for the reins on his lust before it galloped away from him.
“Do ye trust mi, wee one?” he asked as he looked up into her eyes. Her nod was all he needed to feast upon her treasure.
He ran a finger along her sheath and loved the silken feel of her. Hot and wet, ready for him. Padon couldn’t resist. He stooped lower and licked between her folds, delving his tongue in search of the tender bud he knew was hidden. Finding it, he suckled and licked until a moan careened from her. He inserted a finger into her heat, pumping in rhythm to the motion of his tongue and lips on her clit. Her knees buckled and he managed to keep her standing until he’d lapped her clean of her juices.
Padon stood, taking her in his arms. He tilted her face and smiled. “Mi wee one, ye are sweeter than any nectar. I could drink of thee forever and never be full.”
He kissed her, sharing her taste with her, and loved the passionate response she gave him. Tongue upon tongue lavished each other with wants and desires, increasing their hunger for each other. Lynn let go of him long enough to turn off the water. She led him from the shower. When she reached for a pair of towels, he ravished her rump with a playful nip to each exquisite mound.
She jumped and squealed. He laughed. “I like a fine behind on a lass and ye have a beautiful one.”
Without giving her a chance to dry off, he scooped her into his arms and hurried to the bed. Not caring about the covers, he laid her on the bed and landed at her side. Padon kissed her, taking in as much of her as he could. His fingers parted her folds and made her ready for him. The urge to be inside her overwhelmed him and he could wait no longer. Padon moved and she spread her legs, beckoning him between them. He paused for a second, taking in the essence and glory that was his wee one.
The most gorgeous woman he had ever seen lay waiting for him to make love with her. Pink, wet and perfect went through his head as he positioned his shaft at her entrance. Never had he taken so long to fuck a woman. But this was different and he knew it. This was something he’d never get tired of or lack in desire to have over and over.
Padon pushed in slowly, rejoicing in the feel of her accepting him. Her legs tightened around him, tugging him deeper. Heaven could not compare to the woman beneath him. Once he was fully seated, he stopped, letting her relax around him. Then he slid until the head of his shaft lingered within her opening then plunged bawls-deep again. Her sighs of pleasure urged him on. Her heeling him in the back of the thighs increased his pace.
“Padon,” she gasped as she arched off the bed, taking his cock to its deepest point. “Fuck me, fuck me please.”
He halted all motion as he kissed her. Her whispered plea of please against his lips broke his restraint to love her easily this time. Her nails clawed at his back as he did as she requested and fucked her. The pace she set was fast and hard and he refused to fail at pleasing Lynn. He nuzzled her neck and inched along her sensitive skin to suckle from nipple to nipple. When he took more of her breast into his mouth, she gasped and bucked. Her inner muscles clenched him tightly and he lost control.
He let go of her breasts and groaned as his seed released deep within her heat. His cock throbbed as her sheath massaged him into submission. Their juices combined, cascading around him as he lay nestled wit
hin her. Nay, heaven could no be better than being in Lynn’s arms and buried within her treasure.
Padon collapsed onto his side, taking her with him. Keeping her cocooned close, he managed to stay inside her heat, a place he never wanted to leave. Out of the corner of his eye, he noted the change in the color of the sky and knew their time was limited. It would not be much longer and he would have to separate from her and wait until the fall of the sun to hold her once again. He sighed against her neck, then kissed her earlobe as he held her tight.
Lynn didn’t want to move. Padon had given her some of the best sex of her life. He lavished her breasts as if he’d secretly known she loved having them touched and sucked during sex. It kept her hot and bothered and each time his teeth nipped the oversensitive nipple a sharp spike of need bolted straight to her pussy. She trembled inside just thinking about it.
Though she loved the feel of him inside her, wrapped around her, she knew from the clock on the nightstand morning would soon be upon them. Regretfully, she’d have to move when the curse took him from her again. Sadness filled her heart. Lynn closed her eyes tight and had to swallow hard not to cry.
A sudden chill brushed her face as if something ice cold touched her cheek. Lynn’s eyes opened wide and her heart skipped a beat at the sight.
Eddie stood in the open doorway to the balcony. He beckoned for her to join him. Heat filled her cheeks and she knew her face must be every shade of red possible. Her husband stood on the balcony looking straight at her as she lay naked in the arms of another man. And from their position, there was no hiding they’d just had sex. Oh god, she was going to hell.
“You’re not going to hell, Lynn,” Eddie’s voice said with a laugh. “Come visit with me. I only have a few moments.”
Lynn sat up and looked at Padon. It appeared as if he slept. Glancing at the clock, it seemed as if time stood still. The second hand no longer ticked. She looked at Eddie with her brows pursed, not sure if she were dreaming.
“I’ve stopped time for a few moments so we can talk, but I can’t do it for long.”
She nodded as if hearing it from him made it okay and believable. Quietly, she stood, gathered the forgotten towel from the floor, wrapped it around her then slowly walked out onto the balcony. The early-morning sky seemed held frozen, threatening to sport the sun at any given moment. Usually she found the colors beautiful but today they were her enemy. It meant Padon’s curse lingered on the horizon, waiting to capture him at first light.
Shame had her stomach in a knot and her heart hurting with indecision. Even though Eddie was dead, guilt bloomed like a weed trying to take over and strangle her happiness.
“Eddie, I—”
He didn’t give her a chance to explain herself or how she’d ended up in bed with another man. He touched her cheek and an icy sensation coated her skin but she didn’t flinch. This was Eddie. Though he was transparent, he was still her husband. She met his gaze with tears in her eyes.
“Lynn, no matter what you think, you have not cheated on me.” He thumbed her tears away. A big grin split his face and his eyes lit up like they always had when he smiled. “I’m dead.”
She shook her head. “That’s a pretty cold way of saying it.” But she couldn’t help smiling back at him.
“It’s the truth. Besides, you know how I feel about sex, keep it spontaneous, go with the flow and enjoy every moment. That’s exactly what you did in the waterfall.”
Lynn’s cheeks heated even more and her eyes widened. “You saw that.”
Eddie grinned. “Don’t worry. I watched only long enough to make sure he had no intention of hurting you, then I left.” He wagged his eyebrows at her. “I trust you had a great time?”
An unstoppable smile crossed her lips and Lynn couldn’t help but answer. “Yes. It was amazing.”
“That’s what I’d hope. I know it was the first time you had sex since my death.” He touched her cheek and the tender look in his eyes eased her discomfort. This was Eddie. This was her late husband so talking about sex was okay and felt right to her. “Lynn, you are a vibrant, beautiful woman and you deserve happiness. Take it. Maybe he can give you the one thing I never could.”
Her brows pursed showing she didn’t understand. “You lost me, Eddie. My life with you was full and content.”
“But childless.” Eddie sighed. “We may have been a great couple together, enjoyed the same things and were the best of friends, in bed and out. But we weren’t the right combination to make kids and I knew you wanted them.”
Lynn tried to lower her gaze but he didn’t let her. His ice-cold touch to her chin made her lift her face to look upon him again. “I knew, Lynn. I always knew.”
“It wasn’t important,” Lynn hurriedly replied. “We had each other.”
“And that was fine for then, but this is now,” Eddie informed her gently before shooting a glance toward the heavens as if someone above had spoken to him. “I gotta make this quick. Seems you made a friend with a ghost named Jasper.” She nodded and Eddie continued. “He told me you’ve been wanting to speak with me.”
“Eddie, I love you,” she sputtered. “I miss you so much. There are so many questions that I can’t think straight and sort them out to ask.”
“You don’t have to ask,” he said. “I’m safe and happy. I want you to be happy too. My years with you were the most precious of my life. Our time together was perfect. I’ve watched over you in your time of need and never left your side when you were down.”
“I know,” she whispered. “I felt your presence. But why couldn’t I see you or speak to you until now?”
“Because you sought me out of desperation,” Eddie explained. “When you seek something too hard, your vision becomes dark and cloudy, obscuring the very thing you wish to find. I was there. I’ve always been there. It took time for you to relax and reach out to me out of love and not the fear of being alone.”
Lynn digested his words. He was right. She’d wanted to find him so desperately she’d overlooked the signs he was with her all along. In her heart, she’d known he comforted her when she was down, but her despair and loneliness blocked him from her eyesight. “I’ve been a fool.”
“No, not a fool,” Eddie said. “Just scared of being alone. You don’t have to be alone any longer. I want you to believe that our love of the supernatural helped prepare you for your future.”
“My future?”
“Yes,” Eddie continued with a nod toward the bed. “Your future if you choose to accept it lays waiting in the other room.”
Lynn’s heart skipped a beat. “You mean with Padon?”
He nodded as he asked, “Do you love him?”
She thought for a moment. This was something she suspected but hadn’t been ready to accept. It seemed to have happened so fast.
“Love knows no boundaries or time constraints,” Eddie proclaimed and it astounded her that he knew her thoughts just like Jasper had. It had to be a ghost thing.
Taking a leap into the unknown, Lynn admitted, “Yes. I love him.”
Eddie kissed her cheek and she shivered from head to toe. “I know you do. Now go in there and make love to him while the sun is rising.”
In a flash of light and bright colorful stars, he was gone. Lynn wiped a tear from her eye as she whispered, “I will always love you, Eddie.”
“And I you,” returned to her on a whisper from the heavens. “Your heart is ready to love again. So go, ride that sexy spontaneity wave into the future. Make me proud.”
With the next change of color in the sky, Lynn’s laughter at Eddie’s spontaneity reference died and she froze as something else he said blazed bright inside her brain. What did he mean by make love to Padon while the sun rose? Then it hit her. Akira’s strange words from earlier in the evening replayed in her head.
May thy morning bring ye love for it be love which enlightens thy heart.
Fin’s words wafted through her head as well. Let the heart guide you and your spirit shal
l be free.
Bits and pieces from conversations throughout the night scrolled behind her eyes like a stock exchange ticker tape. OhMyGod! They’d been giving them the answer to the curse in roundabout ways, but neither of them had been smart enough to decipher their cryptic messages.
Until now. Thinking back, she felt like such a fool. The answer had been in her heart all along and she’d been too blind to see it. She raised her eyes heavenward and issued a prayer she knew he’d hear.
“Thank you, Eddie.”
Lynn ran, dropping the towel in her wake, and dove onto the bed. Padon’s eyes sprang open as she kissed him. With both hands, she grabbed his cock and rubbed it as if it were a magic lantern with a genie hidden inside. It responded instantly, getting harder with each stroke. Lord she loved this man and the way he reacted to her touch.
Padon broke from their kiss and captured her hands. But it didn’t stop her. Using his grip on her wrists as leverage, she straddled his hips and seated herself on his newly sprung erection. He let go of her hands and followed her pace.
“Mi wee one, ye have a strong appetite,” he practically growled as he fucked her.
In a panic to beat the clock and the sun, she rode him faster and faster, until she almost couldn’t breathe and her insides gushed her orgasm. Lynn gasped, “Padon, I love you.”
His hands circled her waist and rolled them so he hovered over her with his shaft buried to the hilt. “And I love ye, mi wee one. Ye have been mi salvation during mi hours o’ cursed daylight. A vision o’ ye lingers in mi head and ye live within mi heart ta keep me sane when I can no move ta touch ye until nightfall.”
She was his salvation. So he thought of her while lying cursed within the stone. Lynn kissed him with every ounce of the love she felt in her heart. Padon hugged her tight and devoured her mouth as he pumped slowly in and out of her. The tension built in her core and readied her for another round of lovemaking, Padon style.
