She wasn’t entirely sure what he meant bythat, but his words made her wetter as she slid along the length ofhim before shifting so the head of his shaft teased herentrance.
However, no matter how much she wanted himinside her, she enjoyed this far too much to end it now. She moved,shifted, teased, and played with him as she ran her hands over hischest and down his stomach.
She traced the dips and hollows of hischiseled abdomen before shifting to explore his cock. His breathquickened when she ran her fingers over it before stroking it.
She thrilled at her power over him as hisbreathing changed, his erection pulsed in her grip, and his bodytensed. However, he didn’t move as he continued to let her learnmore about him, herself, and what they both liked.
When she finally took him inside her, Lexiwas so aroused, she came almost instantly, but as she floated downfrom her high, he still didn’t touch her.
“Keep going,” he grated.
He said the words, but she saw the strain onhis face as sweat beaded his forehead. Lexi leaned forward untilher breasts rubbed against his chest.
She lifted her hips until he was nearly outof her again before sliding slowly back down. His head fell back asshe ran her tongue across his chest.
She tasted sweat and man as his fingersentangled in her sheets and the corded muscles of his arms stoodstarkly out, but he still didn’t touch her. She ran her tongue backup his chest, across his collarbone, and up to his neck beforenipping at it.
“You better feed soon, love,” he said. “Idon’t know how much longer I can take this.”
He didn’t need to encourage her anymore. Witha hammering heart, she kissed his neck again before resting hermouth over the solid thump of his pulse. Her concern over harminghim caused her to hesitate.
“Do it,” he commanded.
And she found herself helpless to do anythingbut obey. Her lips skimmed back, and she sank her fangs into histhroat. She cried out against his flesh as the hot wave of hisblood pulsed into her mouth.
She’d never tasted anything so delicious asit slid down her throat and the power of it seeped into her veins.Out of her mind with desire, she tried to draw him closer. Sensingher frustration, his arms locked around her, and he pulled herflush against his chest.
Lexi wasn’t convinced she would feel it whenhe fed, but then his power seeped out until it crackled the airaround them. Beneath her hands, his muscles swelled andvibrated.
At first, she didn’t understand what washappening, and then she realized he was growing stronger as he fedon the energy their joining emitted. The crackling in the airincreased until it vibrated against her skin.
Oh yes, she could see why some believed itenhanced the pleasure as her skin came alive, the hair on her armsrose, and she craved more.
CHAPTER 53
Cole drank in the power she emanated. In all of hismany years, he’d never experienced a rush like the one she gavehim, but he’d also never fed on his mate before—hismate.
He’d yet to claim her as a lycan would, buthe was leaving his mark as only a dark fae could. She wouldremember him while he was gone, and she would be eagerly awaitinghis return.
The dark fae didn’t have fated lovers likethe lycan, but the fact she was his mate caused her to satisfy himin a way no other had before. As her sexual pleasure heightened, hedrank in more and more of it until the air swirled and pulsedaround them.
When her back bowed beneath his hands, herfangs retracted, and her head fell back as she cried out. Thetightness of her sheath clenching around his dick tore his releasefrom him.
Even as he was coming, he almost sank hisfangs into her shoulder, pushed her back on the bed, and fucked heruntil she begged him to stop. He almost staked his lycan claim onher, but to do so would be to use her in a way no woman who losther virginity only two nights ago should be used.
He would scare her, and he would claim herbefore he ever got the chance to tell her what she was to him.
Trembling, clinging to her, and trying tocontrol the rampaging lycan demanding to be satisfied as much asthe dark fae, he buried his face in her breasts and shuddered ashis softening erection hardened again.
He could often go for hours and days at atime when the dark fae part of him was in one of its more demandingfeeding periods, but no one had so easily aroused him as thiswoman.
Despite that, he reluctantly withdrew fromher. She was immortal, she healed fast, her body adapted andchanged swiftly to new situations, but she was still so new tothis, and if he didn’t stop, he would claim her.
And since he wasn’t about to tell her thatshe was his mate before returning to the Gloaming, he had to stop.He wasn’t about to drop that news on her. It meant he’d have toclaim her or deal with her rejection before leaving.
She collapsed against him and shivered as heran his hands over her silken skin. He didn’t want to part fromher, but if he stayed much longer, he would start all over again,and he would never leave today.
Unfortunately, that couldn’t happen.
