Back to enchanting She leaned into hi closer to his erection “Tell me a secret”
“What?”
“Whenever you’ve enclosed me like this, I’ve received a secret fro differently?” he asked, voice hoarse
Uncomfortable, Thronos? “You haven’t been around many females, have you?” He would have no clue how to find his footing with her— her plan all the easier
It wasn’t even fair Which was okay, since Sorceri only cared about fair play when it benefited the on a battlefront, and I spend ? She and Sabine had been in the Pravus front line against an arue, Lanthe, bite it! “But you’re with a fes, you have to tell me your secrets,” she said softly “Consider this our confessional, the wing sauna of truth”
A raised brow “Wing sauna of truth? Peculiar sorceress You always did have a fertile i you could tell er down the slickened skin of his chest, dipping it just inside the waist of his breeches
He released a sharp breath Puh
“Why does an angel like you have no tan line?”
He coughed into a fist “We don’t have roofs in the Air Territories, have no need of them because we’re above the clouds As I told you, in thefor you Often I’d coain”
“I would have liked to see that,” she said in all honesty
“What is this, Melanthe?”
“This iswe could die at any moment It’s my responsibility as a sorceress to play out my best hand all the way up to the end”
“Is that what I am to you? Another hand of cards you’ve been dealt?”
Well, yes “You knohat I think? I think you’re surly because you didn’t get your peek earlier Getyou want to see” She eased her thighs open a touch
He sounded like he’d bitten back a groan He shifted his position again, probably because his breeches were cutting off his circulation down there
“Don’t you have a private question for me?” she asked
“You told me you had sensual dreams about me when you slept” He narrowed his eyes “Tell me, sorceress, was I scarred in those dreaer because it was fa me is what he knows best
She’d chip away at that as well “Yes, you were scarred And I was kissing every one of them from top to botto body shuddering”
He frowned at her “You’re notyou’re not lying”
“No”
In a gruff tone, he said, “I would’ve thought a fickle Sorceri would find the ods, I know that—but lack of physical attraction is not one of therettable truth
The hope in his eyes almost made Lanthe lose her nerve with her plan
“Yousexual cheht that was just the way one felt around a mate,” he adether “So why did you tell me I left you cold?”
“I said I felt physical attraction But I find it difficult to desire athis, he said, “How o
“How many males have there been, Melanthe?” he asked in a quiet voice, as if he were bracing for her answer
“You’ll never get a nue”
“I’m more than just a number,” she pointed out “Besides, it’s not only the nu you; it’s the fact that I ith others after we’d ue!
“Why couldn’t you have settled doith one? I know that some Sorceri wed for life”
“Would you have preferred to find me in love with another male, happy, with ten children? Why, that would make me a virtuous woman! Would you kidnap a virtuous female for your own selfish needs? Would you separate her from her beloved husband and children?”
He bit out a sound of frustration
“If our sexes were reversed, everyone would’ve expected me to take lovers I would have been applauded for it You would have been revered for your purity And if I were a de for ”
That’s what demons called it when they had sex just to see if a feh a demon could usually scent a female and know she was his h intercourse
Baring his fangs, Thronos grated, “Have you been attempted by many demons, then?”
“I’ve never been with one” He parted his lips, no doubt to call “untruth,” so she explained, “Like Vrekeners, the Sorceri stupidly think dee I didn’t know better until Sabine fell for Rydstrom By the time I realized demons could be wildly attractive, I was locked into celibacy for a year”
“You find deht you were drawn to the ht now she was drawn to seven-foot-tall males who simmered with pent-up lust and untapped carnality “Hmm Physically, I like—”
“Straddle me,” he bit out
