I should be pushing him away so we couldtalk about this. Instead, I found myself drawing him closer. I hadto feel him, to lose myself to him until I wasn’t sure where Iended and he began.
Pressing me against the wall, he braced histhigh between my legs and released my waist. As his hands grippedthe bottom of my shirt, I wanted to tell him not to rip it, Icouldn’t walk around Hell naked, but he broke the kiss and pulledit over my head so fast I barely registered the movement.
His gaze fell on the swell of my breasts,feasting on them like a starving man at a buffet. A single fingerrose to trace over the edge of my simple white bra and the bitemark he’d left on me earlier today. Had that really been today? Orwas it yesterday? I didn’t know anymore, and I didn’t care as Ibreathlessly watched the hunger and sadness playing over hisstriking features.
“Never doubt my love, River. You started asthe possible key to all of this, but you are my Chosen. I wouldchoose you over all else, even my own life.”
My breath hitched, and I bit my lower lip ashis finger stilled on my skin. His head bent; his breath warmed mychest. I sighed when his tongue swirled over my flesh, lavishingme. His fangs scraped my skin, but he didn’t bite down. I rode histhigh, moaning at the blissful sensation caused by the friction ofmy body rubbing against his.
His hands slid around to unclasp my bra andtoss it away before he removed his leg from between mine. I bitback a groan at the loss of contact, but he grabbed my waist andspun me around. A shiver raced over my skin when he ran his fingerdown the length of my spine before trailing it with his tongue.
“Kobal,” I panted when his palm slid betweenmy thighs to cup me and his finger teased over my aching centerthrough my pants.
My hips thrust backward demandingly when hetook his hand away from where I wanted it most. The rustling of hisclothes falling to the floor caused me to try to turn around. I hadto see him, to feel him, but before I could, he stepped against meand stopped me by pushing his chest against my back. He maneuveredme closer to the wall until my palms rested against the jaggedrocks.
One of his powerful hands slid up to cup mybreasts while the other slipped unbuttoned my pants and pushed themdown. He bent to untie my boots and pull them off before I steppedout of my pants and kicked them aside. His roughened palm ran overmy stomach as he rose, causing goose bumps to break out across myskin. My legs spread further apart when his fingers slipped betweenmy thighs to cup me again. His chest burned into my back when hemolded himself around me. His ragged breath sounded in my ear as heran his tongue leisurely over it before nipping at my earlobe.
My hands flattened against the rock when hisindex finger dipped into me, and he stroked me leisurely back andforth, spreading my wetness with his hand. The hot length of hiserection pressed against my lower back as he thrust his fingerswithin me and jerked me more firmly against him.
“Kobal!” I gasped when he dipped anotherfinger into me, stretching me in preparation for him.
His hands were the only things keeping mestanding as my entire world became focused on the delicioussensations evoked by his touch. I should still be mad at him, butfor the life of me, I couldn’t remember why, when right now he wasthe center of my entire world.
His other hand continued to fondle mybreast, his thumb and forefinger rubbing over my nipple as herolled it between his fingers. His mouth left a trail of kissesacross my shoulder and up to my other ear as he nudged my feetwider. His shaft slid between my legs, teasing as it slipped acrossmy wet flesh.
“Do you like that?” he inquired as he pulledhis hips back and thrust forward again, but he didn’t enter me,didn’t end the torment. “Answer me, River.”
“Yes!” I cried when he repeated theaction.
Wrapping a hand in my hair, he turned myhead to the side until his lips were brushing against mine as hespoke. “Do you want me inside of you?”
Right then, I couldn’t think of anything Iwanted more as the fiery scent of him engulfed me and his powerfulbody enfolded mine. “Yes.”
His mouth curved into a smile against myneck. He surged forward again before pulling away from me. “Beg mefor it.” This time when he thrust forward, his thumb dipped down torub against my clit. A firestorm of pleasure rocked me. I archedagainst him when his hand caressed my breasts. “River,” he growled,and I sensed his unraveling control as he thrust faster between mythighs.
I could deny him this, and he would stillgive in to me, still give me what I so desperately craved, but Iwas helpless to deny him what he asked for. “Please, Kobal,” Ibegged when he stroked my clit again. “I need you inside of me,now.”
His hand slid between my legs again, butthis time he didn’t tease me as he took hold of his swollen shaftand guided it into me. I groaned at the sensation of his thickmember slipping deep within me. He filled me so completely that Icould feel him throbbing inside of me.
He grabbed my waist and withdrew until onlyhis head remained within me before sliding into me again. I pushedback against him hungrily, demanding more with my body as I bentlower to give him better access. His fingers dug into my skin as hepulled out of me before driving in again. There was a savageryabout him right now seeking to be calmed, and I could do that forhim.
His sweat-slicked body encased me as hemoved faster and deeper within me. My head spun as the pleasureonly his body could give me, swamped me. Releasing me with one ofhis hands, he slid it between my thighs to fondle my clit again ashe continued to drive fiercely into me.
“Come for me, Mah Kush-la,” hecommanded.
Again, I was helpless to do anything butobey him as my body fractured apart beneath his expert fingers andpummeling hips. My legs gave out, but his hold on me he kept mestanding. I felt no trepidation when his hand caged my throat, andhe pulled my head back. His tongue swirled over my flesh before hesank his fangs into my shoulder.
Another orgasm rocked me as he continued todrive relentlessly between my thighs while leaving his mark on mybody. My muscles clenched around his swollen length, gripping himwithin me. He threw his head back and bellowed in ecstasy beforeabruptly pulling out of me.
The heated pulse of his semen against myback branded me further when he found his release. His fangsretracted from my body, and his head fell into the hollow of myneck.
I was still trying to catch my breath whenhe pulled me away from the wall and walked me over to a rock at theedge of the cavern. “Not done with you,” he grated against myshoulder.
Spinning me around, he sat on the rock andstretched his legs out before him as he settled me on his lap. Hisgolden eyes held mine while he slid me slowly onto the hard lengthof him once more.
