He licked a tight circle around her breast and drew the peaked nipple between his teeth. She gasped and clutched at his shoulders. When she closed her eyes to concentrate on the sensationsrippling through her, the pretty opalescent lights of the lanterns turned to lush, dark pulses of rushing blood and desire hidden behind her trembling lashes.
But he wouldn’t let it stay hidden. His long fingers delved between her legs, finding the slick pool of need and spreading the welcoming wetness over her cleft. She moaned and twisted on his sensually torturing hand while he switched hisattention to her other breast, licking and sucking until her nipple was an ignition button to her whole body throbbing with demand.
She was so close…and he went lower yet.
His tongue against her clit drove the throbbing into a tympani drumbeat, and she cried out at the intensity of the sensation. She braced her heels against the hard edge of the throne to drive her hips up into his mouth. Hehummed low in his throat, and the vibrations tingled through her until she was almost sobbing.
When he finally stood to shed his trousers, she dragged her lashes apart to stare at him greedily. He was so big, everywhere, and he was hers in this moment. The lanterns highlighted the sheen of his skin, but their gleam was swallowed by the hungry blackness of his eyes.
For a heartbeat, her breathstoppered in her throat. A warning from deep in her bones told her he was a danger to her. And not because he was an alien god given the flesh of a madman. No, the peril went deeper than skin, deeper than bone. It went to her core.
It went to her heart…
But then he was nudging up between her knees, his lean hips widening the spread of her legs, and she brought him closer with her ankles lockedbehind his thighs. Because shewantedmore than shefeared. It had been so long since she felt this way, that reaching for what she wanted, with excitement and a glad heart, would be its own reward.
Hewould be her reward.
