Chapter Thirty-three
It felt so good to Nicole to be back in the warmth of the tepee after having been out in the cold.
Now that she knew Sam Partain was dead, she felt as though she had been set free from the nightmare that he’d created when he killed her parents so coldheartedly, as well as everyone else who lived in Tyler City.
Now Nicole was all calm and peace inside her heart. She could think of nothing except making love with her husband.
She remembered what Dancing Snow Feather had told her…that if Nicole could find a way to totally relax and think of nothing but how much she loved Eagle Wolf, she would more than likely get pregnant with that child she and her husband wanted so badly.
With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Nicole stood before the fire and began removing her dress as Eagle Wolf watched, his eyes filled with wo
nder.
“It is only midafternoon, my wife, and you want to make love?” he asked, enjoying this new side of her as she tossed her dress aside on the floor mats.
“Ho, my husband, I want to make love,” Nicole murmured, leaning over to remove one moccasin and then the other.
When she was totally nude, she stepped closer to Eagle Wolf and slid her hands up inside his fringed buckskin shirt. She ran her fingers slowly over his sleek, muscled chest. She knew that he was enjoying it when she felt the tingling of his skin everywhere she touched.
Eagle Wolf reached for her hand and slid it out from beneath his shirt. Then he led her down on the thick pallet of furs and blankets beside the lodge fire, where they had made love earlier this morning.
But now there seemed more intensity, more eagerness, on Nicole’s part. He saw a new look in her eyes. She smiled confidently at him as he ran his eager hands over her body, stopping to lift one of her breasts closer to his lips so he could flick his tongue around the nipple.
“Husband, please, please undress yourself,” Nicole said, her heart hammering. “Or do you want me to do it for you?”
Smiling down at her, Eagle Wolf hurriedly removed his clothes. Without hesitation, he stretched his body over hers and slid his throbbing manhood into her sheath. She was wet and ready for him.
“Love me,” Nicole whispered sweetly as she twined her arms around his neck, bringing his lips down to hers.
She flicked her tongue across his lips, then joined their mouths. His arms swept around her and held her close as they savored the feel and taste of each other’s tongues and lips.
“You are so eager,” Eagle Wolf whispered against her lips without missing one stroke inside her. He felt the warmth spread almost to a feverish heat throughout his body.
She arched her back so that he could delve more deeply inside her, to touch that part of her that always made her go almost mindless.
“Today I know that we are making a child,” Nicole said, leaning away enough so their eyes could meet and hold. “That is what is fueling my eagerness. Eagle Wolf, I can almost feel the child inside me now. I know that what we are doing will bring our longed-for child into the world.”
“I will not ask why you believe this,” Eagle Wolf said, driven by the heat of passion. “It is just good that you believe it is so.”
“I know it is,” Nicole murmured, a tremor quaking through her when he brought his lips to hers again and gave her an all-consuming kiss.
As he continued thrusting inside her, she sucked in breaths of rapture, her eyes closed now. She was filled with sensations she had never felt before; she felt as though she herself had just been reborn.
She had never felt so alive, so filled with absolute joy, and it was because she was letting herself go as she had never done before.
She clung to him.
She rocked with him.
She returned his kisses as his arms enfolded her and carried her with him into this new world of complete oneness.
“I love you so,” Eagle Wolf whispered against her lips. The press of his mouth was so warm, so deliciously inviting.
“I shall love you forever and ever,” Nicole whispered back, then moaned when she felt herself reaching a level of passion that she had never felt before.
She clung even more fiercely to him when he moved his lips down to one of her breasts, his mouth closing over it. Then he swirled his tongue around the nipple, his teeth nipping.
Eagle Wolf felt the fire spreading within him, as never before. It was so intense a feeling, it dazzled his senses.
