Uh, just what did "everything" encompass?

Okay, so,to stop her

"I want you, Annabelle," he said in a silky tone

"I want you, too" An achy whisper

"Then come the rest of the way"

Another step, and another…until he was able to wrap his wings around her and urge her the rest of the way The feathers tickled her in the most delicious way, softer than silk, more decadent than fur

As if he couldn’t help hi her a soft, decadent kiss of coet

"I like this," he said

"Yes"

"I think I will like the rest even better"

Her heartbeat quickened "Let’s find out"

"If you’re sure…"

"I auided her backward and rolled her over, then positioned hi hours…days…ently He learned her Nothing was taboo, nothing rong All she could do was cry out at the incredible pleasure He was hesitant at first, careful with his hands, his caresses soft But that soon changed, his grip becoer as he kneaded her breasts…as he explored lower

He used his fingers…and she realized she could do so more than cry out at the pleasure She could writhe She could claw at his back, drawing blood

"Sorry," she uttural tone Earth-shattering "Do it again"

With her every touch, every lick, he hted her The smooth texture of his skin tantalized her He had zero body hair He was beautiful and perfect and every brush of her fingers against hiainst him was a revelation This was the way sex was supposed to be, neverthat far This was exactly what he’d talked about A union of bodies

"Want you to feel the pleasure again," he gritted

"I’m so close, but I want you to feel…need you to feel it, too"

"I will I do" He ers hot, and she was instantly there, stars winking behind her eyes, her lungs no longer working

She lost track of everything, even Zacharel, floating away, returning, only to leave and float sohtly had she been squeezing hiht her back to the bed

She pried her eyelids apart, that roar still ringing in her ears Her lungs had started working at least, but her breaths e, a delicious lethargy curling through her

Soth to lift her head and peer down at Zacharel He lay beside her, his cheeks flushed, his eyelids at half- bitten, and his chest was rising and falling with the swiftness of his breaths He, too, was tre
