Donnell gave her a swift lick, taking her clit between his lips. Cait gasped. He may not love her but he sure knew how to heat her blood. Moisture instantly pooled in her pussy and he must have sensed it. His finger entered her as he sucked her clit, causing Cait to lift her pelvis, pushing against his face. Donnell nuzzled her back down onto the bed. His darkened, sexy gaze traversed the length of her body to meet her barely opened eyes.
“Do I have your attention, milady?” he questioned.
Cait licked her lips and managed one word, “Aye.”
He grinned, then feasted upon her pussy with a passionate abandon that drove her straight into another wrenching orgasm. But he didn’t stop there. Once he licked her juices clean, he slowly followed the trail he created. The tip of his tongue lapped the cream from the upper edge of her slit, then he devoured the strawberry.
In tortuous slow motion, he licked his way from strawberry to strawberry, leaving a sticky trail behind and setting her insides on fire with a renewed desire to fuck him. He was killing her with every nibble of his teeth to her flesh as he retrieved a strawberry. By the time he hovered over the one between her breasts, Cait could barely breathe. Every ounce of her burned with need. Her nipples were solid, painful peaks aching for his touch. Her pussy dripped, wanting his cock. She fisted the covers, uncertain if she should touch him.
Donnell lifted the last strawberry and held it mere inches above her mouth. Slowly he lowered it to her lips and she obeyed, taking his offering. She chewed then swallowed. He waited then kissed her. He tasted of strawberries and cream. The head of his cock bumped against her and she moaned, spreading her legs, hoping he’d ease her desperate need for him to fill her.
Gently he rubbed his cock along her slit, not entering her, simply caressing her, teasing her unmercifully. He nipped her lower lip then held her gaze with his. Pure hunger shone in his eyes. Their faces were mere inches apart.
“Cait, I have never spoken these words to another that I speak to ye now. I love ye,
mi
brèagha neamhnaid
.
Mi
heart belongs to ye.”
He plunged into her, driving his words home. Tears of joy flowed as she held his face in her hands and kissed him. Her fears were lifted with every pump of his cock. Cait couldn’t stop kissing him as they made love. She wrapped her legs around him, pulling him in deeper with every stroke. Faster, harder, slow and tender, they alternately mixed the rhythm, increasing the pressure within them.
Neither wanted to stop. They’d reach the almost breaking point, then slow the pace, drawing out the lovemaking. She had no clue when or how they maneuvered into the center of the bed but they did. There were no longer boundaries between them as they enjoyed the passions of each other. Lip upon lip, they teased and tasted the other, luxuriating in the flavors.
“Donnell,” Cait screamed as she couldn’t hold back any longer. The orgasm took her, pulling him over into the wave with her.
Pumping until his cock was empty, Donnell fell onto her, carefully holding his weight on his forearms so as not to crush her. He placed soft kisses to her closed eyes then whispered in her ear, “I love ye, Cait.”
Never had he felt this fulfilled. Lying in her arms made him the happiest and the saddest man in the world. He didn’t want to pull from her but was forced to by a sudden sharp pain in his chest. An invisible fist clenched his heart and he feared it would stop beating at any moment. Not wanting her to see the grimace he knew held his face contorted, he eased from the haven of her sheath and lay facedown beside her.
Though it lasted mere seconds, it seemed an eternity before the pain lessened. Cait shifted on the bed beside him. Her whispered words laden with concern eased the knot twisting inside his chest. “Are you all right, Donnell?”
He forced his arms to work and tugged her close, wrapping himself around her. “Aye,
m’gaol
—my love,” he replied, doing his best to make his voice sound normal as he swallowed the intensity of the subsiding pain. “Rest. We still have a few hours of night to enjoy each other and I plan to make the most of them.”
Cait’s tired laugh gave him more pleasure than she’d ever know. Donnell smiled into her hair as she snuggled against him. It would be a while before his shaft would respond for another sample of her beauty, but he fully intended to please her at least once more before the damned curse took him at sunrise.

As the sun threatened their time, Donnell kissed her lips while his cock lay nestled in her heat. On a heavy sigh, he boasted, “I think that be six if’n
mi
count be right.”
Cait stroked his cheek and mimicked him. “Ye be right. Care to try for seven?”
Faint hints of the sun dared to peek through the curtain’s edge. Sadly he pulled from her and forced himself from the bed. “As much as I wish to remain buried within the heaven between those magnificent thighs,” he said as he motioned toward the window, “the sun rises. Rest and make ready for tonight. I promise we shall break seven.”
Cait’s wicked grin warmed his heart. She slid from the bed and reached for him. He couldn’t resist and took her in his arms for one last kiss that would have to last him throughout the day. When he tried to pull away, she locked her arms around him and refused to let go.
Donnell pried his lips from hers. Panic filled him. “Cait. Ye have to let go. We know not what the curse will do should we be touching when it takes me.”
She grinned, released him and marched to the window. She jerked the curtains wide open. Early-morning sunlight spilled into the room. Donnell’s jaw dropped. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He lifted his hands and stared at them, flexing them into and out of fists. Slowly he lowered his arms and met her excited gaze.
“How?” he asked, confusion riddled his question.
“Love sets the heart free of the curse.”
“Love?”
“Aye, love has freed you.”
Donnell crossed to Cait and gathered her in his arms. His lips found hers as he spun her around until they landed on the bed. Instantly her legs wrapped around his waist as she teased, “Care to go for seven?”
