"Losing control"

Her Ilina rance Ilinas used, at one tian to spin itsfires in every part of his body If he hadn’t been hard as a rock already, he would be now, though he doubted she released the fragrance intentionally Ariana had always lost control of hers at so Usually, the moment he started to undress her

He shoved his hand between her legs SheHe drew his claws and reached for her bra, but she grabbed his wrist before he could slice through it

"Bras costher fully to his gaze once more

As he reached for the soft rabbed her wrists, stopping her

"No" Instead, he picked her up, intending to toss her onto the bed

But Ariana had never been a woive in s around his waist, flinging her ar onto him like a wildcat on the attack An erotic, sensual attack His arms pulled her closer as she fused herhis Pebbled breasts teased his skin, slender fingers raked into his hair, cutting hi in those days, and he’d loved to surprise her in bed She always seereeted hi herself around hi her er burned inside hi them away

As he cupped her buttocks, digging his fingers into the soft flesh, desire flaher

She rubbed the tight nubs of her nipples against his bare chest, and he was lost Naked and war, lily-of-the-valley-scented fire, and he wanted her with a need that stripped hi her with one hand, he slid the other between her legs, finding again the source of her heat Goddess, but she was hot and wet, ready for him as she’d always been The sex had been the best part of those two years

Conflicting emotions crashed inside the walls of his chest He wanted to hurt her as she’d hurt him, until she cried out with the pain of it And his arms shook with the need to free himself and shove his cock inside her until they both screamed with pleasure

She wanted hiht line of his body and the rigid set of his jaw h seduction was as innate to any Ilina as breathing, she wouldn’t eh his own free will, not her machinations

They’d already hurt one another in too many ways

So she waited for hi the battle in his eyes The ser told her it was over

She’d won

He pulled off his ripped shirt, revealing the beautifully sculpted, lightly furred chest she’d loved so well Claw h he’d had them since the day he was first o Watching her with predatory eyes, he clis like a cat on the prowl His eyes were steel, his powerful shifter’s body as dangerous as it was beautiful as he bent over her and lowered his face to her breast, watching her the entire way down

He claientleness, his passion barely controlled, sucking the fullness into histhrough her body and down into her core As if he felt her need, his fingers reached between her legs, stroking her da her with sure, hard strokes

Another hard surge of anger hit her through theher he hated his oeakness in needing to touch her This wasn’t the way it used to be between them This wasn’t the way it was ever supposed to be, but she’d ended all chance for anythingdown around her, and she’d left hih intense, was hollow Still, she needed the strength it would give her to battle back the darkness that attacked her from within

His bearded , to claiers caressed his short hair as she thrust her hips against his hand, forcing his fingers deeper and deeper inside her
