Chapter 21 : In the Middle of the Night

Poppy’s POV

So close…

I needed so badly to take the edge off. The image of Eirikur fluttered across my closed eyes. The way he swung his sword. The way his body moved like a trained warrior. I imagined that strength on top of me.

I’d only gotten a taste of it against that tree in the moonlight. I’d only felt a small bit of how good he could make me feel. My robe was splayed open on the bed, naked to the cold, but my body felt so hot.

My hand slid to the apex of my thighs and I cried out softly at the sudden rush of pleasure. I touched myself how Erik did last week. Purposeful. Demanding. He had me in a puddle, slack and at his mercy.

Dear Goddess, I was wet. So wet just thinking about him. The source of my fantasies. Desire flared hotly under my skin as I caressed two of my fingers against the seam of my sex, tentatively slipping them inside.
