Chapter 34

VALKYRIE

With my eyes shut and my mind empty, I focus on the rhythm of my heartbeat. Earlier, I’d taken a nap and woke up frightened. I’d had another dream.

It’s more like a voice than a dream, really, because I can’t see anything. I just hear the voice, but it’s muddled. I can’t make out what it’s saying.

I let out a sigh, trying to relax my body. I’d asked Dimitri if we could postpone the meeting with Prince Cian’s people. I’m not feeling well, and all I want is to be alone.

A soft knock interrupts my thoughts. I turn my head towards the doors. Who could that be?

“Come in,” I say quietly, adjusting my coat.

One of the doors creaks open, and Dimitri peeks inside.

“May I?” Dimitri asks, waiting for my response.

“Yes,” I reply, offering him a smile.

I’d retreated to my chambers because I felt uneasy in Dimitri’s room. I smile at him and Dimitri comes over, sitting next to me.

I’m on the bed, gazing out the window. My mind is a whirlwind of thoughts.

“You okay?” Dimitri asks, taking my hand.

“Yes, just thinking,” I reply softly, looking at our hands intertwined. My slender hands look so fragile against Dimitri’s rough ones.

“I spoke with Irene, and she said it’s okay. We can talk tomorrow,” Dimitri tells me. I nod, letting out a sigh. “It’s late; why don’t you sleep?” he suggests.

“I’m not sleepy,” I lie. Right now, sleep is the last thing I want. What I need is a distraction.

“I can help you with that,” Dimitri murmurs, causing me to look at him. A small smile dances on his handsome face.

I giggle as I look at him. I think I know where this is headed. Dimitri meets my gaze, leaning over to kiss my forehead.

“Thanks,” Dimitri murmurs.

“For what?” I ask, curious.

“Because you finally laughed,” Dimitri replies, returning my smile.

I remember him asking me why I never smile or laugh with him. But right now, I am. I was always too scared to even smile at him. Maybe the timing is just right now?

I laugh again, looking at him. He’s smiling warmly at me. The moonlight shines down, casting a shadow over half of his face, making his golden eyes sparkle.

Those golden eyes meet my blue and yellow ones. Without thinking, I lift my hand and stroke his face. My eyes drift down to his hands, still holding mine. I feel him move closer.

I lift my gaze, looking at him through my lashes. Dimitri leans in until his breath tickles my cheeks.

His lips gently brush my left cheek. I close my eyes, leaning into his touch. He leaves a trail of soft kisses on my face, moving down to my neck.

I shiver as he moves closer. His hand slips around my waist and carefully lifts me up, setting me down on his lap.

I smile as I wrap my arms around his neck. We sit still, staring at each other.

Finally, he lowers his gaze to my lips, moving his hand to my thighs. He gives them a squeeze and I moan against his lips. He pulls me closer until his erection is pressing against my entrance.

A shaky moan escapes my lips as I feel him against my underwear. Slowly, with skilled hands, he undoes my dress. I watch as the dress slides down my shoulder until my breast is exposed.

His warm hands make my entire body shiver under his touch. Biting my lip, I wait in anticipation. Dimitri leans over and nips at my chin.

He pulls my dress down further, leaving half my body exposed. Then, with tender kisses, he stops, reaching for the small cross on my left breast.

Sucking there, he uses his other hand to pinch my other nipple. I dig my nails into his skin as his lips kiss and suck hard.

I want to feel him too; I want to touch him. I move my nervous hands. Reaching for his shirt, I start to undo it. But he pushes me onto my back, hovering over my body.

Straddling me, Dimitri looks down at me. His eyes are full of desire. Swallowing hard, I watch as he seductively lifts his shirt up, revealing his toned chest and abs.

My gaze lingers on that perfect V line. I can feel myself panting. He’s making me crave him.

Suddenly, he lowers his face to my ear, sucking on my earlobe, making me arch my back and moan. My chest presses against his warm body. It feels good and I want more. I squirm under him and he stops me.

“No, my love, where do you think you’re going?” Dimitri whispers as he grasps my arms and pins them over my head. My breasts lift as he keeps my hands above my head.

Lowering his gaze to my perky nipples, he takes one into his mouth, I bite my lip.

“No,” Dimitri growls this time as he lets go and holds me still with one hand. Then, using his other hand, he slides a finger down until he reaches my entrance.

“W-wait…,” I breathe.

He slides his finger in, and I arch my back and gasp. That feels good.

“P-please, Dimitri…,” I whisper breathlessly.

“Please, what?” Dimitri whispers in my ear as he pushes deeper.

He adds another finger, and I moan. He’s finger-fucking me. With my eyes closed, I pant. My back arches as I feel him stroking faster and deeper.

Leaning closer to my ear, he growls. His chest vibrates as he continues his sweet torture.

My legs start shaking as something builds up inside me. The sensation is like needing to pee. Scared, I close my legs.

“Let go, Valkyrie,” Dimitri growls.

My trembling legs match his pace. I’m about to surrender to his touch. Suddenly I feel it. Dimitri hits a spot that makes me moan aloud.

My body convulses and my eyes roll back, I shudder in his hand. Is this an orgasm?

I pant tiredly as he withdraws his fingers. Then, kissing me on the lips, Dimitri sits up.

“That’s my girl,” Dimitri whispers, smiling as he leans in again and kisses my cheek.

My eyes flutter shut as the adrenaline rush starts to fade. I’m panting, trying to catch my breath. When I open my eyes again, I see him. Dimitri is sitting up, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

He lifts his hand to his mouth, and I can’t help but watch as he sucks his fingers, now slick with my arousal. Why does that turn me on?

“You taste so good. I can’t wait to taste all of you,” Dimitri growls, his voice low and husky.

Suddenly, he’s on his feet, his hand reaching for his erection.

“This is what you do to me,” Dimitri pants, gripping himself through his pants. I can’t help but stare at the bulge straining against the fabric.

He quickly undoes his pants, letting them fall to the floor. His cock is huge, and he starts to stroke himself, his lips forming a small O as he pleasures himself.

His golden eyes are filled with desire as he watches me, his hand moving faster on his cock. His pre-cum starts to drip down his hand.

I involuntarily close my legs, suddenly self-conscious. I’m so wet, and I don’t want him to see.

Dimitri stops what he’s doing and starts to crawl towards me.

“What are you doing?” I ask, my voice shaky.

“Something I’ve been wanting to do for a while,” Dimitri murmurs, his face inching closer to mine. “Don’t tell me you don’t want to taste me. Feel me,” he says, his lips brushing against mine. “I bet you’re soaking wet.”

He straddles me again, pulling off the rest of my dress, leaving me completely bare. I feel exposed, so I try to cover myself.

“No, Valkyrie,” Dimitri says, gently pulling my hands away. “Let me see you.”

“But…,” I start to protest, but he silences me with a kiss.

His tongue explores my mouth as our lips move in sync. He deepens the kiss, lowering himself until he’s covering me completely. I gasp into his mouth as I feel him against me. Why does he feel so good?

His hand slides down my body until he reaches my leg. He lifts it up, positioning himself between my thighs. I’m a little scared, so I grip his shoulders.

My heart is pounding in my chest as he positions himself. His cock is pressing against my wet pussy. I jump, my hands moving to his neck. I’m scared.

He finds my entrance, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer until our bodies are pressed together.

“It will only hurt for a moment. I promise,” Dimitri whispers in my ear. I nod, and he holds my gaze. Neither of us looks away.

His hand moves higher on my thigh, and I take a deep breath.

He thrusts into me, and I scream as I feel him stretching me. I grip his shoulder tightly, burying my face in his neck. Why does it hurt so much?

“Are you okay?” Dimitri asks, trying to look at me.

I can feel him deep inside me, and I bite my lip. A burning sensation spreads through my inner thigh, making me wince in pain. But there’s a strange tugging sensation in my chest that makes me relax.

“Valkyrie?” Dimitri says, his voice filled with concern.

I try to speak, but the pain is overwhelming. Dimitri is burning me, and it hurts.

“Love, I need to move so you can get used to it,” Dimitri whispers, his hand making small circles on my back. I shake my head.

I don’t want him to move. It’s burning, and it hurts. Is this what it’s supposed to feel like the first time?

“Am I hurting you?” Dimitri asks, worry creeping into his voice.

The pain is too much, and I let go, falling back onto the bed. I cover my face, sobbing. I feel so embarrassed.

“Talk to me, Valkyrie,” Dimitri says, pulling away from me.

I peek through my fingers, watching as Dimitri’s eyes widen when he looks between my legs.

“Shit!” Dimitri curses, quickly crawling away from me. I flinch in pain as he pulls out. He quickly grabs his shirt and presses it against my pussy.

I don’t understand why he’s panicking. All I can think about is the throbbing pain between my legs. I sit up and look down, gasping in shock. I reach out with shaking hands towards Dimitri. What’s happening?

I look down at his shirt and the bed, and I scream. There’s so much blood. What’s going on?
