Zane flipped Nola to her back so that she was peering up at hiasp escaped her, but she didn't try to scrah he loomed above her, dressed in his blood-splattered battle clothes while she was naked

Her breasts were small but firm, perfectly tipped with hard pink nipples Her stomach was flat, her skin sun-kissed and se of her ribs and knew she hadn't eaten since his departure six days ago Dah tor to burn away the ies of what they'd done to her Burn away the memories of the hts of himself He didn't care what he had to do to accomplish it

"Have you ever experienced pleasure in the act?" he asked

Up and down her chest rose with the force of her breathing "No You?"

"Long, long ago" He only prayed he remembered how to please his woman With the demon queen, he hadn't cared to try He'd simply endured Never had a female's enjoy you don't like, tell me"

She nodded, nervously licked her lips "You tell me, as well"

It was his turn to nod Rather than suck on her nipples as he desired, he lifted hied off his shirt He tossed it aside His boots and pants quickly followed, leaving hith of him, and fire leapt inside her turquoise eyes "Zane"

"Afraid?"

"No You won't hurt me I just wanted you to know I like what I see"

Her trust emboldened hiainst skin, hardness against softness They , was hell Contact with Nola was heaven Her legs opened, allowing him a deep cradle

"I want to kiss you now," he said

Only when she whispered her consent did he lean down and press his lips against hers Softly at first, barely even a touch But the sweet scent of her was in his nose, her nipples hard against his chest, her thighs pliant against his, and soon he had to have ue glided past their teeth to intertith hers

He'd had her blood, but he'd never had her ht, this was even better Sweeter, headier, not for living or healing or even to relieve hunger, but simply for pleasure It was addictive, and he wondered how he'd gone without this for so long

Tentatively, she tangled her hands in his hair And at first, her tongue was hesitant against his Seeking, as if she wasn't sure what to do with it But the more he explored hertogether, their bodies writhing against each other Sas beading over his skin, his blood heating as though lava flowed in his veins

"Going tosuck yourbreasts now," he ed to say between pants "Like that?"

"Yes Yes" She, too, was panting She, too, eating Her eyes were closed and her head was thrashing from side to side

I did that Pride filled hiht little pearl He laved it with attention before turning to the other one - careful, so careful to deliver pleasure without any sting

When he kissed his way down her stoasped his name

"Stop?" he asked Would be difficult, but he would find a way

"More"

Thank the gods Never had he been more determined in his life He would know this wo would be prohibited Body, s Wet, wild, wanton

Ato the demon queen slipped into his mind He'd once hated this act - until he'd tried it on Nola on that island Oh, how he had enjoyed doing so, which had shocked him Since then, he'd craved it - another shock He wanted this to last forever Nola was precious, a treasure, her cries a drug for his ears Do not think about the demon She has no place in this wondrous moment
