“I don’t care if I’m hallucinating. Just don’t stop touching me.”
“That is an order with which I’ll happily comply.” He kissed my jaw, my neck, swirling his tongue in the hollow of my throat before kissing his way down the front of my chest.
He sucked my nipple through the shirt, biting gently. The extra layer between his mouth and my flesh made the teasing all the more exquisite, and my hips rocked forward, urging his fingers deeper inside me.
“Your scent is…” He inhaled deeply, closing his eyes. “Overpowering me. I can’t… I… Bloody hell, woman. I need to taste you.”
“Anything,” I breathed.
Up to that point, he’d still been kneeling at my side, but now he climbed into the bed on top of me, kissing his way down my stomach, across the tops of each thigh, and inside each knee as he parted my legs. With a soft, seductive sigh, he lowered his head, flicking his tongue against my clit.
His silky hair brushed my skin, and I held my breath in anticipation, my thighs already trembling for him.
“More,” I breathed.
He licked a slow, teasing path up my center, sucking my clit between his teeth, and my whole body melted into the sheets like butter in a pan.
Between my thighs, I felt my vampire shudder.
“Darius,” I panted. “That’s… yes. Right there. I can’t…”
Darius groaned, searing my flesh with his insistent mouth. There were no more teasing touches, no more soft, slow swirls of pleasure. Suddenly I was beingdevoured.
His hands gripped my thighs and pinned them to the bed, and he fucked me with his tongue, his lips, his breath, all of it pushing me to the very edge of my limits, the edge of my sanity. The cabin walls spun around me, and I arched my hips off the bed, squirming beneath him, almost unable to take another minute of his hot, insistent mouth.
He overpowered me easily, tightening his grip on my thighs, shoving his tongue deep inside me in one last, powerful thrust, unleashing an explosive orgasm that rocked my core. There was no warning, no slow build. Only ecstasy. I fisted his hair and pulled him closer, rocking against his mouth, riding out the very last ripples of pure pleasure.
Before my muscles had even stopped trembling, Darius shifted between my legs, guiding them over his shoulders, pushing against the backs of my thighs as he leaned in for another kiss, my taste fresh on his lips. His rock-hard cock brushed my clit, unleashing another aftershock of pleasure that made me shiver.
He pulled back from our kiss and looked deep into my eyes, his own eyes dark with desire and lust and something else—something that made my heart beat faster and my stomach tremble. Something that went beyond mates and blood bonds.
Something I was afraid to name, because if I said it out loud, it might just disappear.
“You absolutely intoxicate me,” he whispered.
I couldn’t speak, so I only smiled, arching up against his cock, letting my body tell himexactlywhat kind of effect he was having on me.
Intoxicating didn’t even begin to cover it.
Darius moaned softly, but he didn’t break his gaze, refusing to sever the connection that seemed to be holding us both together. Here. Now.
Real.
Sliding a hand under my ass, he rolled his hips, plunging that perfect length deep inside me. I gasped in pleasure, and he captured my mouth in another searing kiss, fucking me deeper, harder, making me more delirious with every thrust.
I was coming unglued, even as his kisses held me together. I tried to fight it, tried to hold on a little bit longer, tried to savor it. But he was too perfect, too wild, too intense, and in the end, I had no choice but to let go.
With a final cry of pure ecstasy, I tumbled over the edge, falling and falling and falling, my body tightening around him as he fucked me harder and faster, both of us clinging to each other as our two hot, glistening bodies shattered into a million pieces.
When I finally caught my breath again, I opened my eyes to find I was still in Darius’s arms, still whole and alive.
I smiled, my eyes blurring with tears.
Somehow, he’d found a way to put my pieces back together.
Twenty-Five
Darius
