I strode toward her before I thought of doing so. Grabbing her hand, I pulled her against my chest.
CHAPTER 43
River
I lost my ability to breathe as Kobal claimed my mouth in a searing kiss that rocked me to the center of my soul. The desperation in the kiss, the hunger, thelovewere all things I’d felt with him before, but never on this intense of a level. A wet heat spread between my thighs as his desire fanned my own.
His hands were on my face before they entwined in my hair. He wrapped it around one of his wrists and cinched it in his hand. My mind spun. I couldn’t think as his claws sliced down the front of my brown shirt. The thin material fell back and cool air flowed over my skin.
My flesh became electrified by his touch as he grazed his claws around the underside of my breast before brushing one over my nipple. I was still trying to catch my breath when he cupped my breast. Moaning, my hips surged forward to rub against him. The heady evidence of his arousal pressed into my belly as his thumb stroked my nipple until it became taut with anticipation.
His tongue slid over my lips before plunging into my mouth. His fiery scent and the delicious taste of him overwhelmed me. Unable to stop them, my hands pawed at the shirt he’d donned, but I couldn’t get it off him fast enough. I tore at the shirt, ripping the fabric down the front of it to finally expose him to me. Sighing into his mouth, I flattened my palms against his chest and distantly heard the crackle of sparks.
He propelled me backward until my ass bumped into the table. Releasing my breast, his hand slid between the two of us to slice off the button holding my pants together. I wriggled against him when he slid his arm under my ass and lifted me onto the table. Breaking the kiss, he stepped back to tug my pants down my legs before tossing them aside.
The hand wrapped around my hair pulled my head back. My back bowed as his other hand slid between my legs and he pushed my thighs apart. His gaze held mine as he glided his hand up my thigh, scraping his claws against my flesh. I tried to squirm toward him, but his hold on my hair kept me in place.
I stopped moving. My breath came in small pants when his eyes trailed away from mine to run hungrily over my body. Everywhere they touched on me, it felt like his hand did too as my skin prickled with sensation. He retracted his claws when his hand traveled between my thighs to stroke me.
His eyes watched every move he made as he spread my wetness over me before giving my clit a leisurely stroke that nearly had me coming undone. If I’d been able to form words, I would have begged him to put me out of my misery as he stoked the fire in me until I could barely take it anymore.
My legs opened wider. His gaze came back to mine when he pulled my hair back until I couldn’t do anything but follow his hand down to the table. He pinned my hair there and held me with my body spread before him. His other hand went to his pants, and he tore the button off them before pulling them down over his waist and thighs.
His erection sprang free, thick and hard with precum already beading on the head of it. I couldn’t help but lick my lips in anticipation when he gripped his shaft and guided it toward my entrance.
He teasingly rubbed the large head up and down me, but didn’t enter. I squirmed on the table as he continued his leisurely torment of me, but he kept me restrained in a position that made it impossible for me to impale myself on him.
“Too long,” I whispered. “Too long without you.”
One of his claws stroked my nape. He gave a small tug on my hair that caused me to cry out with my need for more.
“What is it you want, River?” he demanded.
“You,” I panted. “Inside of me.”
“Like this?” He pushed his head against me, parting my folds but going no deeper. “Or do you crave more?”
“More,” I breathed, unable to tear my eyes away from the savage beauty of him as he stretched me until his head fit inside me.
I lifted my hips to take him deeper, but he placed his palm in the middle of my belly and restrained me. Sweat beaded his brow and upper lip from the self-control it took for him not to thrust into me, but he continued to hold back. I didn’t know how he could stand this when all I wanted was him inside me while he remained unmoving.
“Kobal,” I groaned.
He bent his head to run his tongue around my nipple before drawing it into his mouth and sucking on it. My fingers threaded through his hair, drawing him closer as his fangs grazed my breast. Sparks flashed across my fingertips, illuminating his markings and bronzed skin.
“More!” I cried out.
Releasing my nipple, he swirled his tongue over it and lifted his eyes to look at me as he slid his thumb over my clit again. “Tell me what you want more of, River,” he commanded.
“I wantyouinside of me.”
“I am inside of you.” My fingers dug into his back when he moved his hips in a way that caused his head to rub me in all the right ways, but it still wasn’t enough. The demon stilled within me again. “What do you want me to do to you?”
“I want you to fuck me!” I gasped.
“Your wish is my command,” he growled.
Before I could blink, he released my hair, withdrew from me, and flipped me over on the table. I was still trying to process what had happened when he pushed my thighs apart from behind and buried himself in me in one thrust. I cried out at the exquisite sensation of finally having him filling me and possessing me again.
