She straightened slowly Stepping back, she thrust her hands through her hair and piled it on top of her head Arching her back, Vash posed like a ’50s pinup

He breathed roughly, his hands fisting around the ends of the arod, Vashti…"

It was the note of awed pleasure in his voice that pierced her, slicing through her defenses to strike the tender places within A shiver rowled "Lush and curvy Fucking perfect And you’re so strong Strong and tough"

There was possession in the way he spoke And she relished that, which confused her She was a woman who took care of herself Always had been Char had known that about her and hadn’t been territorial She had a job to do, one that outranked his, and he’d stayed to the side and let her do it, fol owing her coave them to him That’s what she needed from her mate, what she wanted…Support Acceptance

Yet Elijah’s do slowly, she hid how shaken she was by presenting him with her back

"Co her that he’d never stand to the side He would always require her surrender, even as he praised and adhness

His splayed hand caressed the length of her back, gentling her "Bend over"

Knowing how exposed she’d be in the position he wanted her in, she leaned forward sloidening the spread of her legs to better support her canted weight His hands cupped the backs of her thighs in the crease just below the curve of her buttocks His thu her, opening her to his gaze

"Mmm…you’re wet and soft already"

She sed hard, then bit her lip to stifle a moan His breath fanned hot and humid over hersupport to keep her fro onto her face

"I’l make you wetter," he promised darkly, the moment before he licked leisurely across her swol en cleft

She gasped, the sound overly loud in the quiet roo and ready for hiain The texture was rougher than before, like wet velvet, and the reach longer She ht shift in for The last tied her the way he wanted her and taken her Taken what he needed, how he needed it, and expected her to find her pleasure in giving it to him Which she had She’d never come so hard or often, never experienced ecstasy so fierce and wild No boundaries No liainst her "Your taste drives me insane I could eat you for hours Days Lick up every sweet, creaue teased her slick opening, ri toward hi her clitoris with the tip of his tongue and hu a soft chastisement

"Elijah," she corit "Elijah, please"

"Please…what?"

She couldn’t stop the frustrated noise that escaped her "Please don’t be an ass"

"But I can’t rush," he said sht overly exert ue?"

When she attehten, he kept her in place with a hand at the s me take the lead?"

"Yes" No That hat chafed the most Sure, he was an Alpha, but he wasn’t her Alpha And for her people, she was damn near the Alpha

What would they think if they could see her now?

"Even though doing so brings you pleasure?" he prodded

Vash looked at hiht back at her, not at the slick hot flesh quivering for more of his attention Prurient interest would have soothed her, oddly His focus on her reactions and her emotions was far more inti around after you," she snapped "Subservience isn’t in my nature"

"Good Woht on the ass "You’ve got a great rack, but even your spectacular tits wouldn’t be enough to keep me interested past the first screw Thattendency to bark orders and run everything around you…except for me, of course Now, finish your damn sentence: Elijah, please do what? You want ive estions"

Her gaze moved to the floor Damn it, she wanted to direct him and she wanted him to do whatever he wanted She didn’t knohich one she wanted more

So she split it down the middle

"Elijah" She exhaled in a rush "Please lick me until I coht you’d never ask, sweetheart"

If the hand at the smal of her back hadn’t reached around to clasp the front of her thigh, Vash would have fal en over with his first deep lick He used his mouth as only a creature who relied on it asof his crushed-velvet tongue was rhythmic and precise; the te back on her heels, trying to capture the perfect pressure that would push her into orgass, see how thick he was How rigid and long The heavily veined length so brutal y beautiful Just like the man himself She wanted it…wanted hihed froht Her sto, desperate whihened pad of his tongue
