"Bewitched?" Her lips ht you didn’t like ue "I like this ic I like it very, very much"

"Viper"

Her hands lifted as if she would push him away and Viper stifled a curse Dammit all It didn’t take a thousand years of experience to know that she wanted him Truly and utterly wanted hiible force in the air

Why the hell did she continue to fight hily her hands hesitated and then ever so slowly, slipped beneath his robe to s heart it would have halted beating

The touch was light, hesitant But it was enough to send a jolt of sizzling need through his body

"Yes," he whispered as he captured herdeeply of her sweetness he at least possessed the sense not to nick her with his fangs He was consuh with physical lust He wasn’t certain ould happen if bloodlust was tossed into the ing of his robe, Viper tangled his fingers in the silk of her hair and pressed hungry kisses over the line of her cheek He wanted to feel the heat of her war life

He nipped at the lobe of her ear, ue as he shifted to tug at the heown

"Shay, I need to feel you next to ainst ?" she whispered, as he peeled the gown over her head and tossed it onto the floor

He regarded her with amusement as he allowed his hands to freely explore the slender curves "If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’asp as his fingers cupped her breast and his thuht bud

"This is insanity"

"I can’t think of a more pleasant madness," Viper murmured as he dipped his head down to close his lips around the tip of her nipple

Shay moaned as she clutched at his shoulders, her body instinctively arching in silent invitation

Viper used his teeth and tongue to pleasure her sensitive flesh, his hands claainst his straining erection

He wanted this to last

A task that was in dire jeopardy with every lift of her hips

He trailed his tongue along the underside of her breast, planting a kiss in the valley between her breasts beforeto the unexplored nipple

"Viper"

"Do you like this?" he deue over her breast

"God, yes"

"And this?"

Giving a last tug on her nipple he kissed his way down her sto to caress the dip of her belly button before seeking the waiting treasure below Tugging her legs apart he allowed his hands to run a soft line down her inner thighs Just for a ht of her spread on the black silk

Lying on the pillows, Shay aze, her features softened with a passion she was no longer atte to conceal

"Viper?"

"You are so beautiful," he said as his head lowered and hisHe wanted to explore every satin inch of her Every precious curve

He nuzzled the inside of her knee, the line of her calf, and the delicate bones of her ankle She gave a gasp as he suckled her toes, her hips arching off the bed

"That tickles" she breathed, although she did nothing to pull away fro touch

"You’re ticklish?" he teased, licking a path down the bottoave a soft squeal "Viper, stop that"

"I want to taste every inch of you," he said

Her hands clenched the satin sheets "I’m not sure I can bear it"

"Let’s see just how rasped her other foot and slowly feasted his way back up her leg Her amusement faded as a soft moan renched froh, the scent of her blood pulsing beneath the skin nearly overwhelue traced the pale blue vein as he battled back the urge to sink his fangs deep into her flesh

Not tonight

Not until she was prepared to give of herself utterly

Unaware of his dark thoughts, Shay shifted restlessly beneath his lingering touch

"Viper please"
