The sorceress was reading his mind!

“It won’t last Melanthe will never be what you need her to be You can’t break hter, and that’s the only way she’d love you”

He turned to her The distress on her face was priceless She was practically vibrating with eagerness He repeated her words: “Why not?”

How could Thronos deny her?

Lanthe had already been on edge from his memory, then fro her body against it, raising her arms over her head—for more of her skin to touch the door that separated her froh

When his Ada It was only seenerous Demons were notorious for their size I hope this one’s a show-er and not a grower, or I’m a dead woman

No, no! There would be no intercourse with a Vrekener! So stop staring at his cock, Lanthe Dragging her gaze up, she cleared her throat “Thronos, beyond that wall is nothing less than heaven forthat he had gold dust on one side of his neck Did the teht made her pant

He frowned at her reaction “I’ll keep you frorabbed one of his horns and pulled his head to the side “Gold dust,” she murmured, unable to help herself “Give old With a old on her She rubbed her other cheek, then drew back

A sht over his pulse point—which was palpitating along with his thundering heart

Too much temptation! She dipped down to press her open ue, taking in the cool gold ht Once she’d licked him, she leaned in beside his ear to whisper, “I never knew you’d taste so good”

His big body shuddered, bringing her back to reality Oh, gods, was she actually gripping his horn? Releasing him, she drew back to face him

His expression wasdazed, his pupils blown, his eyes glazed with lust He shifted where he sat, no doubt because his erection was paining hiht not to touch her

She could enchant this male

In their history, she’d befriended hiht him, and spurned him But she’d never tried to tempt him She was descended from the enchantment caste of the mystical immortal species She wasn’t without innate skills

“It would be enough just to touch it, to answer its call”
