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 to…suck your…breasts 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 It 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 Do not think about the demon She has no place in this wondrous moment 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

"Like?" Please, please, please

"Mmm, yes Before, they just ripped at my clothes and shoved their way--"

"No, no None of that" As she’d spoken, she’d stopped writhing Had released her death grip on his hair "That does not belong between us It’s just you and me in this bed You and me"

Her eyes were luminous as she nodded "Bite me, then Takeme"

"No!" she shouted, and it was a soldier’s cry She ht appear delicate, but she truly had the soul of a warrior "You will only ever take frorin He crawled up her body, fit his cock against her moist entrance "I will only ever crave you, sweet That much is true Are you ready for me?"

"Yes I need you inside o Your shaft--and your teeth Take all of me Please"

Oh, that please… He’d seen the way her expression softened when he’d uttered that word Now she thought to use it against him, bless her

Inch by inch, he sank inside her, careful, meticulous Never had he exercised such exquisite care Finally, though, he was in her to the hilt They were joined; they were one She surrounded hiht and wet, and it was better than he’d anticipated

Tenderly he cupped her face Her beautiful face His thumbs brushed over her lips He would care for her all the days of his life He would ensure no one ever hurt her again

"Ready for more?"

"With you? Always"

He withdrew froroaning at the bliss Her back arched, and her perfect white teeth nibbled on her botto the delicious plane of her neck Still he did not bite her He wouldn’t Wouldn’t do that to her

In and out he moved, in and out he savored her He stared into her eyes the entire time, and she stared into his It was as if they were each other’s anchor As if seeing each other kept them here, locked in the moment, just the two of the else, no one else, the fruition of every secret yearning he’d ever possessed

"Bite," she co"

"No, I am healed You told me so Bite me I want it I need it Don’t deny me this Please, don’t deny me this"

"Nola--"
