He was indeed tan all over The sun had kissed hi shaft to his feet One of his lower legs looked swollen, as if the tendons were knotted there, and his foot curved inward The cause of his liht for this perusal

She wished he wouldn’t bother, but rrr

He’d seen all of her; she wanted a sied fro around hi, he lifted his chin, as if steeling hiainst her reaction But he didn’t li work of art Streaht muscles framed by shaded hollows The cleft of his ass was so taut, she wondered if she could even nip it with her teeth

As she continued around, he rele him Now that she kne he felt about his looks, she found this tremendously brave

Sometimes Lanthe wasn’t as brave as she could be--certainly not like everyone else who lived in or even visited Tornin--so she applauded anyone who demonstrated the trait

Shouldn’t Thronos’s bravery be rewarded?

When she stood before hi for sohts?

"Thronos, if I honestly tell you what I think of your body, will you tellaloud

"Peculiar sorceress Yes, I will" And then he held his breath

"You’re so big And hard When I look at your bodyI get wet for it"

His lips parted around an exhalation Puh

Thronos was still reeling from her words His body aroused hers? Only fair since she aze dipped to his chest To his scars He stood unclothed before her, and she focused on the most hated parts of his body

She leaned forward She kissed a scar

His head fell back Was this her way of apologizing? Of showing her regret? Another feather-light graze of her lips followed

If this was the way she expressed reive her!

"And nohat do you think of ainst his skin

I al at you I need to lick every inch of your flesh I want to pin you down and suckle you--for hours "You’re exquisite," he finally bit out, laying his pals closed in on her Trapping her

Her gaze darted fro

"Impossibly exquisite" He leaned his head down to her neck, drawing deep of her scent, letting her feel his exhalations Gods, she sht to hi her neck It ain Then he ran his lips beside her ear, rasping, "I’ll likely wake to discover this isn’t real--just another dream of you"

"What happens when you have those dreaainst masturbation"

He nodded, then confessed, "I wake up thrashing, thrusting at anything, already cul"

She released a shaky breath of her own

"I’ve fantasized about you, about all the forbidden things I want to do to you, for hundreds of thousands of nights And now you’re here with me," he said, voice laden with disbelief "If just one of my dreams would come true"

"What would you like to happen?"

Need to be buried inside you! But"Melanthe, let’s begin with a kiss" In Inferno, he’d decided that their first real kiss would be vastly different fro when he’d first captured her He could be tender

When he curled his finger under her chin, tilting her head up, she asked, "Have you ever done this before?"

He shook his head

"Do you reht me to swim?"

In the lake by theirto him, but by the end of that afternoon, she’d taken to the water like a selkie pup

"You taught me the basics, and then instinct took over Maybe I could teach you the basics of kissing?"

"I want that"

"You could brush your lips againstThen when you’re ready you could slip your tongue in to findher in, as if he subconsciously feared she’d escape hiain "And then?"

"You’d slowly and sensuously lick the tip of th shot even harder

"Hopefully we’ll drive each other crazy When that happens you can take ood for you, and it’ll likely feel good for raze his lips over hers and back Again Hers were so plu When her breaths shallowed, he slanted his mouth to deepen the kiss

As he slowly dipped between her sweet lips, she clung to his shoulders, gripping his ue found hers The contact was electric! He groaned into herif he would instantaneously spend

Considering the pressure in his shaft, this seeet his first release out of the way, now he realized that would be squandering the experience

Thronos would endeavor to last--

She began licking back, with light laps of her tongue that made his head swi her, as if he had all the time in the world He was rewarded with her seductive ainst his lips, "Yes, yes" She laid one palers were pointed down Inch by inch, she lowered her hand

Between the kiss and her touch, he ash in stimulation Too much! His member jerked as if to meet her halfway By the ti fro the--because of him Him

In a breathy voice, she said, "Well You certainly have the hang of it But don’t you want us to touch each other?"

He bit out an anguished sound "You have no idea" He recalled how that Volar had used his wings to stroke the de his talon over her collarbone

Her eyes ide "Oh! You’re touching s?"

"If I put my hands on you"

She seemed to realize his quandary
