Elsa lifted her hips, taking him deeper. That was all it took to have him moving inside her. He groaned as he pistoned his hips between her legs in hard thrusts. His cock slid in and out of her pussy, causing another climax to slowly build inside her. She held on to his biceps, matching each of his strokes.
Just before she fell over the edge, thrown into another intense orgasm, Elsa felt Brand’s cock swell, locking them together. He pulsed inside her, filling her with his cum. Their cries of passion filled the room. As he collapsed on top of her, she wrapped her arms around him. His much heavier weight pushed her deeper into the mattress, and she found it harder to catch her breath, but Elsa didn’t care. She stifled a gasp as another splash of cum filled her.
Brand lifted some of his weight off her, supporting his upper body on his bent arms. He lightly kissed her. “Move in with me.”
It took a few seconds to get her brain to function enough for her to understand his words. “You mean live with you here in the manor?”
“Yes.”
She looked up at him, seeing by his expression that he was serious. “That’s a big step in a relationship. Are you sure you’re ready to take it?”
Brand kissed the tip of her nose. “Of course I am. I wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t. I guess I have to ask you the same question. Are you ready?”
Was she? Elsa didn’t want to make another mistake like Teddy, but she felt she could trust Brand. And considering how quickly her feelings for him had grown, she didn’t think it would be long before she was head over heels in love with him. He had all the qualities and good looks of a man she’d pictured sharing her life with. He was the one she’d thought would exist only in her daydreams.
“I think I am,” she said slowly.
“But you really aren’t sure.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to live with you. You have to understand I just got out of a relationship that ended badly. I don’t want you to think I’m only rebounding, using you to take the place of Teddy, without my feelings being invested in you.”
Brand brushed a lock of hair off her forehead. “I know you aren’t using me, Elsa. We’re meant to be together. I know what I want, and I want you. You and I together feels right.”
Elsa had to agree with that. She’d never become so comfortable with a man in such a short period of time as she had with Brand. “It does feel right. But what will your friends think? Won’t they think this is all a little sudden?”
He chuckled. “They won’t think anything of it. When Raed, Algar, Garrick, Wulfric, and Dolf all met their wives, they brought the women into our ‘family’ just as fast. Lexi and Kamryn actually were only here in Norwich on vacation from the States. They never went back home.”
“At least I don’t have to make a move like that. It makes the decision a little easier.”
“So can I take that to mean you will?”
She was oh-so-tempted, but the logical side of her couldn’t give him the answer he wanted. “Can you give me some more time?”
“Of course. I don’t want to push you if you aren’t ready, but that doesn’t mean I won’t show you what you’ll be missing each night that you don’t spend in my bed.”
Brand kissed her hard and long. Since he hadn’t pulled out of her, even after he’d become soft, Elsa felt him harden inside her pussy. Still wet from their previous lovemaking, he easily slid in and out. Her arousal quickly built.
Once he was fully engorged, Brand pulled out of Elsa and moved off her. She whimpered at the loss of his cock filling her. He kissed her and then urged her over onto her stomach before he got her up on her hands and knees. He came around to the back of her and knelt between her spread legs. He put a hand on her hip as he ran the other across the small of her back and up. Near her right shoulder his fingers seemed to linger as if he traced something there. His touch was almost reverent.
Continuing with caressing strokes on her back, he worked his way down until he had both hands on her hips. He held her steady and then surged inside her pussy. His cock filled her completely, stretching her. She was able to take him deeper in this position. In and out he pumped. Elsa pushed back to match the pace he set.
An animalistic growl rumbled out of Brand as he thrust harder and faster into her. Her head dropped forward, and she fisted the sheet in her hands as he took her with powerful strokes. It felt so good to be possessed by him, having his body deep inside hers.
Brand’s cock hardened even more. Elsa could tell he was close to finding his release. His thrusts were faster. He groaned and panted as he worked her from behind. Just as he swelled, locking them together, she climaxed, intense pleasure sweeping her away. She let out a keening moan, lost to the sensations taking her over.
Once it ended, Brand put an arm around her waist and took them both to their sides, his cock still locked inside her pussy. Her eyes closed as she fought to catch her breath. If this was how he was going to persuade her to move in with him, Elsa didn’t think he’d have to work too hard at it to have her saying yes.
Chapter Six
They’d made love twice more before Brand and Elsa fell asleep for a short nap. When they awoke, it was getting dark. Brand slipped out of bed. “I’m going to use the loo. You can have it after me. We should probably get up and go downstairs to see what’s for dinner.”
She sat up and ran her hand through her hair to get out some of the snarls. “Food sounds good right about now. And I’d like to meet the rest of your friends. I should since we’re contemplating living together.”
He climbed back on the bed only long enough to give her a kiss and then went to the en suite. Elsa stretched and smiled. Being with Brand made her happy. She felt almost giddy when she thought about him and that he was hers. She was most definitely falling for him.
She heard the toilet flush; then, a minute later, Brand came out to the bedroom. “All yours,” he said as he bent to pick up his jeans from the floor.
Elsa threw back the sheets and got out of bed. “I won’t be too long,” she said as she walked past Brand in the direction of the loo.
“Take as much time as you need.”
She closed the door behind her before she used the toilet. After washing her hands, Elsa splashed some water on her face. As she turned to reach for the hand towel on the rack hanging on the wall to her left, something caught her eye in the mirror above the sink. She dried her face and hands and then positioned herself to get a better look at her back.
What she saw there, close to her right shoulder, had her jaw dropping. As clear as day, there was what appeared to be a black tattoo on her skin. The design was the exact same one that Brand had on the cap of his left shoulder, right down to the stylized man between two stylized wolves only it was slightly smaller. It being there didn’t make any sense. She hadn’t gotten a tattoo. She sure as hell would have remembered having it done.
Thinking it couldn’t be a tattoo and that maybe Brand had decided to do something “funny” while she’d slept, Elsa grabbed a clean cloth from the towel rack and quickly held it under the running water in the sink once she’d turned on the tap. She squeezed out the excess and then used the cloth to rub at the mark on her back. It didn’t come off. Next, she used soap as well as water. That didn’t work either. She rubbed hard enough that her skin turned red.
More confused than ever, and feeling slightly worried, Elsa asked in a loud and strained voice, “What the fuck is this?”
Brand opened the door and looked around. “What’s the matter?”
Elsa turned so her back faced him and then looked over her shoulder and pointed to the mark near her right shoulder. “Did you do this as some kind of joke? If this is a real tattoo, I don’t know how the hell you managed to do it without me knowing. I’m not missing any time. I tried washing it off, but it didn’t work.”
