With my hands on her ass, I lifted her from the ground and her legs encircled my waist. When she slid teasingly across the head of my dick, her enticing wetness caused my shaft to jump in anticipation.
She was eager for more as she spread wider and took part of me into her. When she moved further over me, I buried myself deep inside her.
She was as hot, wet, and tight as I remembered, and I had to restrain myself from coming as she offered a small piece of Heaven in the Hell that Tempest had become. My fingers dug into her as I broke the kiss, and a bellow of possession tore from me.
I hadn’t realized I would make the sound before it escaped me. It was raw and primitive as it echoed through the night.
My need for her had reduced me to nothing more than an unthinking animal who sought to ease its primitive desires with the only one who could sate it. I pulled her closer and bent my head to claim a breast.
She gasped, and her head fell back as her hips rocked against mine. Our movements became frenzied as we grasped and pulled and pushed each other toward the edge of rapture.
I was going to fuck her until neither of us could move, the world ceased to exist, and everything was right again.
When I rolled her nipple with my tongue, she cried out. The noise she made was nearly as animalistic as my own as we demanded more from each other.
Her nails dug into my back as she emitted a sound that went straight through me to the depths of my soul. Her back bowed in my hands as her ecstasy brought forth my release.
I buried my face in her breasts and held her closer. A tingle ran down my spine as I thrust into her once more and came with another loud shout that her flesh muffled.
My release went on and on until I felt barren and empty as reality started to return. It had gone too fast and been too wild. It was over too soon, and I wantedmore.
The reasons why this shouldn’t have happened started to intrude, but I refused to pull out of her as she sagged against me. Her arms draped over my shoulders while her breath warmed my neck.
No. Not yet!
When she shifted a little, blood flooded my shaft again, and I hardened within her once more. Fuck reality. It could wait.
We were far from done as I lowered her to the ground. I stripped away the remnants of our clothes before covering her supple body with mine.
Our eyes met and held as I entered her again. After the attack from the trees, she’d regained control, and her eyes had resumed their beautiful blue-green hue, but now her eyes were as black as the night around us and shone with lightning when they met mine. They were gorgeous, and though I couldn’t see my own eyes, I knew each lightning bolt in hers was in sync with mine.
She’d lost control of her ability, as had I, and a white light encompassed us as sparks flew off our fingers and electricity rose from the earth to envelop us. It should be painful; it wasn’t.
Instead, it felt as if our power enshrouded us in a warm cocoon. I had no idea what we’d be like when we emerged, and I didn’t care.
There were so many reasons why we would never be together, but I didn’t care about any of them as that savagery took over again, and I lost myself to the miracle of Ellery.
CHAPTERFIFTY-ONE
Ellery
The sun had started risingwhen Ryker pulled out of me and rolled to the side. Too exhausted to move, I lay, staring at the thick canopy of trees above as I tried to catch my breath.
Things had always been amazing between us, but last night was different. Last night, our powers also joined us, and there was something feral about the way he’d taken me over and over again.
It was as if he couldn’t get enough, but there was also an air of desperation. It felt like we’d never see each other again… like it was all over.
I felt bereft of something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Throughout the night, we’d rolled across the ground and taken each other in many ways.
We’d been like animals, out of control and wild, but worse. Animals would eventually stop fucking, but each time we came, we started again until the sun rose.
And the light had brought reason and control with it. It had doused the urgency as surely as water extinguished a fire.
I ached between my legs, but it was a pleasant soreness that reminded me of him. The scruff on his face had abraded my skin, reddening it beneath his kisses and bites. I didn’t mind as I rested a palm against my reddened cheeks.
I also smelled like him again for the first time in weeks. I’d missed his scent and was keenly aware of how fast it would fade.
Beside me, Ryker lay with his arm beneath my head while he also worked to catch his breath. Neither of us spoke; I had no idea what to say, as I didn’t know what this meant.
