A fitting name. The creature sure disrupted his life.
I have taken care of that which threatened us. I must sleep now. Do not awaken me unless you once again find yourself unable to dispose of an impending death threat.
At that last word, Azazel sensed the beast withdrew into a part of him where he’d always been. How strange it was to find himself in a symbiotic relationship with an alien entity.I doubt things will ever be normal again.
And speaking of normal… the feel of a warm, supple, naked female curled in his arms grabbed his attention. Her soft breath against his chest prompted him to slide his hand across her curves to her hip, then shift to cup the tempting globes of her ass. His fingers tightened on the pliable skin and pressed her against his larger frame.
“Azazel.” Toni moaned his name, wrapping her arm around his neck and pulling him toward her until mere inches separated their mouths. “I can’t believe I almost lost you,” she whispered against his lips.
“Ah,hebat,” he crooned. “Do not worry. I don’t plan on going anywhere.” Keeping his touch gentle, he moved his hand to caress one of her feminine cheekbones before twining her hair between his fingers. He brought the strands to his nose and inhaled, his eyes on hers. He watched the cerulean blue of her eyes dilate until the black pupil usurped the vibrant color, highlighting the love in her gaze. Her cheeks bloomed as a flush of color spread across her skin.
The primal need for the woman in his arms tore through him—an overwhelming sensation he’d spent his life denying he could feel. It was a wildness inside him that had nothing to do with his inner beast. It was all him. This barbaric urge to claim his woman and damn anything else.
But he fought the urge. Now wasn’t the time to become some mindless animal bent on conquering the woman in his arms. This courageous, bold woman deserved so much more than a quick tumble from someone acting like a bumbling youth.
“My love, you have no idea what you do to me,” Azazel confessed, putting his forehead to hers. “I have always been the inviolable one, a peaceful man who feared no one and maintained his calm in any situation.” He licked his lips. “But one look at you, and I melt inside. I never knew I’d feel as strong as this about someone. I not only crave to join my body with yours, but my heart is also full for the first time in my life.” He swallowed and ignored the rush of heat creeping up his neck. “I confess I’ve always been lonely. But now… now for the first time, I feel like I’ve found a part of myself that was missing.” He huffed. “Ezeru! It’s so hard to express the right words to let you know what you truly mean to me.”
Toni’s eyelids lowered. Smiling, she wrapped her arms around his neck. “I don’t need words, Azazel. Even though I love hearing you say them.” She put one of her palms over his chest, where his heart thundered. “But I can sense how you feel here.” She leaned in and kissed him, a languorous and sultry kiss of seduction before she pulled back. “Never doubt that I feel the same way.” Her half-lidded eyes studied where she petted him. “I warn you”—her voice lowered with a steady tone—“once we do this, you’ll never get rid of me.”
Her sultry grin warmed him.
“One thing I can promise you is you’ll never know the meaning of ‘being alone’ ever again.”
Azazel’s shoulders relaxed. “Thank the Goddess,” he declared. “I’m looking forward to being with you, no matter where the future leads us. For us, there’s no going back.”
He propped himself on his elbow to look into her eyes.
When Toni leaned in, his attention was drawn to her swaying breasts.
“No going back.” She caressed the side of his face.
Toni grinned as the man in her arms focused on her chest. “Azazel—” She traced her hand across his scruffy jawline. “—why do I feel like you aren’t paying attention to what I’m saying?” She put her forefinger under his chin and lifted his head for his eyes to meet hers. “Look at me… not my boobs.”
“But I can’t help it,” he murmured, his dark eyes roaming back to her chest, making her nipples pucker in response. “You’re so distracting.”
Toni ran her trembling fingers through Azazel’s long hair as he helped himself to those quivering mounds, licking first one nipple, then the other. When he tugged her pebbled tips with his blunt teeth, her breath came out in ragged gasps.
He drew her sensitive skin into the blazing inferno of his mouth.
She let out a rough moan.
Through half-lidded eyes, she feasted on the sight of him as his mouth devoured her bosom.
“I love watching you do that,” she confessed. “It’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.”
After one savage graze of his teeth against her sensitive skin, she threw her head back and squeezed her eyes shut to surrender to the sensation. With her eyes closed, the raging passion inside her rose. Her emotions joined with his, allowing her to experience his building hunger as well as her own.
His every touch, every lick, drove her passion into something tangible and unique. The pull of his mouth on her feverish skin expanded her carnal hunger. With each swipe, he sent a nuclear charge to her sex, dampening and tightening the core between her legs, creating a torrent of cream between her thighs.
He pulled away, his stare intense and direct.
She became lost in the mahogany depths of his eyes. Her breath caught at the sight of the masculine possession stamped there. A man who was the embodiment of desire itself—intent on unleashing every wicked plan he’d been saving just for her.
The slumbering sensuality on his expression made something snap inside her. She pulled away from him and pushed on his chest to make him lie on his back. Not wasting any time, she threw her leg over his trim hips and straddled him, settling her core against his firm stomach. Leaning down, she trailed kisses along his neck.
Underneath her, his stomach muscles tightened as the rigid steel of his cock nestled along the crease of her buttocks. His hand slid up her inner thigh before he slipped a couple of his fingers inside her.
She gasped, and her inner muscles clamped down on him like a vise. He eased his fingers out, and she whimpered at the emptiness that followed.
