After a heartbeat, Helios’ arms wrapped around her frail form as he was unable to resist holding her close again. His eyes closed at the feel of her body in his arms. When he raised his hand to touch her hair, he wasn’t surprised to find it shaking. For so long, he had thought he would never have a chance to hold her once more. Now that she was in his arms, he was sorely tempted to lock her in it.
“I’ll make you beg. I’ll make you work hard for it. I’ll make you swear and wish I had never been born,” she sobbed.
He smiled at her fervent tone. It was as if MJ was swearing an oath of fealty just before going into battle. “But?” He had a feeling there was a ‘but’.
She didn’t care if she was playing the fool or the idiot again. She had loved Helios Andreadis far too long to be immune to his pain. Had she really thought she could stay away from the sun god? Silly her for thinking something like that was possible when deep in her heart, she hadn’t even wanted it.
Pulling back, she wriggled her arms free from his iron-like hold so she could cup his face. For a moment, all she could do was touch his cheeks, marveling at the knowledge that she had the freedom and right to touch him like this once more.
“Before I do all that,” she whispered shakily, “do you think...” She swallowed. “Do you think we could make love just once?”
One moment she was still on the couch, and the next thing she knew, Helios had scooped her up in his arms and was striding swiftly into his bedroom.
Of all the things she would have asked for, he had never imagined she would ask for that, Helios thought. But then, MJ had always been unpredictable and that was one of the things he loved most about her. Her spontaneous ways might have a tendency to drive him crazy, but he wouldn’t change it for the world.
When MJ started to speak, Helios kissed her hard, enough to have her toes curl. When he lifted his head, he glared at her and said shortly, “You cannot change your mind now.”
“I wasn’t going to,” she said weakly.
“Good.” He laid her carefully on the bed, doing his best to control the urge to pounce on her.
“I just wanted to say thank you for coming after me.”
Her sweet words had him groaning, and Helios couldn’t get rid of his clothes fast enough. He was naked in seconds, but MJ only had a short moment to appreciate his body before he was on top of her. “I’m sorry, brat, but I don’t think I can manage any kind of finesse right now.” It was the only warning she had before he literally ripped her clothes away from her body. She gasped at suddenly finding herself naked, and then she gasped again when Helios settled his lean hard body over hers.
“I’ve missed you so much,” Helios groaned just before showering her face with sexy tender kisses.
She wrapped her arms around his neck when his mouth found hers, and eventually her legs found its way around his waist when his tongue sank into her mouth and played havoc with her senses. Even this early, her body was already on fire, the rekindled memories of Helios’ passionate lovemaking enough to make her feel so close to coming.
Thoughts of this not being the right thing to do flittered in her mind, but she pushed them all away. She had survived this long and this far by letting her heart rule her mind and not by letting what other people thought sway her.
MJ writhed under Helios as he explored her body with his mouth and hands. He spent what seemed like an eternity caressing and kissing her breasts, his tongue expertly teasing her nipples into an aroused state before he sucked on them one at a time.
She tried to stop him when his mouth began to trail further down her body, but Helios wasn’t to be stopped. Soon, he was forcing her legs to spread wide open before him. A moan broke out of her as he teased her folds. By the time he had sunk one finger inside her, she was already soaking wet. By the time he started sucking on her clit, he had reduced her into a whimpering mess.
“Please,” MJ gasped as the passion he had unfurled inside her body began to spiral out of control. Her nails dug deeper into his shoulders. “Please...”
“Let me see you come, sweetheart.”
The hoarse plea was all she needed to break down, her pleasure reaching its peak, and she screamed as she came.
The moment she did, Helios rose up to sink his already engorged cock into her, and his harsh groan mingled with her cries of pleasure. The feeling of having his cock surrounded by MJ’s warmth was indescribable, and he knew it would only take a few moments before he would also come.
