“That’s not gonna happen,” I said. “I’m never leaving your side again.Thatis a damn promise.” I leaned in close, kissing her swollen lips, her chin, her collarbone, sweeping lower with each pass. Her skin was hot and slippery, and when I got to her breasts, she arched her back, pressing herself against my mouth as I sucked one of her nipples between my teeth, my fingers finding the other one and tugging, rolling, teasing her just right.
“Yes,” she breathed, threading her hands into my hair.
Back in the cave prison, there’d been no time for teasing or slow, lingering kisses. I hadn’t even laid eyes on her bare breasts before tonight—only her thighs, a quick blur of pale skin as she’d wriggled out of her pants and climbed into my lap, desperate to give me the strength to fight off the devil’s trap poison coursing through my blood.
Well, it’d worked. She’d strengthened me in more ways than she’d even realized, and ever since that moment, I’d dreamed ofthisone—the chance to truly taste her, to inhale her scent, to make her gasp with pleasure at the hot slide of my tongue between her thighs.
I almost came just thinking about it, but I forced myself to hold out. Right now, it was all about her. All about bringing her to the edge of bliss and back again.
I licked and sucked, kissing every inch of her silky skin as I worked my way across the lower curves of her breasts and down her ribcage, dragging my tongue over her hipbone, across her belly, and across the tops of her legs.
When I was finally down on my knees, I gripped the backs of her thighs and looked up at her through a spray of hot water.
“You’d better find something to hold on to, Cupcake. Because I’m about to go all in on this gorgeous pussy of yours, and I’m not coming up for air until you damn well forget how to stand.”

GRAY
Without warning, Asher slid his tongue between my thighs, his mouth hot and demanding and insatiable and oh myGodI was already trembling. I braced one hand against the tile wall and fisted his hair with the other, but there was no way I’d be able to hold out much longer.
With a surge of hot water sluicing down my back and clouds of steam smudging Asher from my view, I melted beneath invisible kisses, my body going wild for the teasing, fluttering strokes of his tongue and his soft moans of pleasure, each one vibrating through my core and making my knees weak.
“You’re… amazing,” I managed, wanting him to know how much I was enjoying this. How much he was unraveling me, one delicious kiss at a time. “Don’t… stop.”
Holy hell.
It was no surprise that an incubus knew how to please a woman. But before tonight, we’d only been intimate together once—for about ten minutes in the cave prison, if that—yet somehow Asher was reading the unique needs of my body as if he’d studied it for years, sensing my shifting desires before I’d even consciously registered them myself. Everything he did—every kiss, every hot breath, every nibble—felt like it’d been custom designed just for me.
I would’ve come five times over by now, but it turned out Asher wasn’t just a master of my body’s desires.
He was also a master of the epic tease.
I ached for release, but each time I felt those initial tingles building in my core, he’d pull back, easing the perfect pressure of his tongue, blowing a hot breath across my clit until the elusive orgasm slipped away once again.
And then he’d come back, his mouth whipping my body into a new frenzy.
I was going insane.
After everything I’d come through, every demon and battle I’d fought,thiswas going to be my end. Tonight, I would die in the shower by this man’s mouth.
And I was pretty sure I’d be smiling when I did.
Asher shifted before me again, dragging his tongue along my clit, then dropping lower to leave a trail of light, fluttery kisses on my inner thigh, all the way down to my knee.
“This is torture,” I groaned. I tightened my grip in his hair, tugging him back up toward my center, but that only seemed to encourage his incessant teasing.
“Torture?” He glanced up at me, his eyes fiery, his mouth wet with the evidence of my desire. “I cantastehow much you love it, Gray.”
He was right, of course, and he left me no choice but to give up the last bit of my control, putting my pleasure in the hands—and mouth—of the incubus who’d been driving me crazy since our very first meeting.
The incubus I’d somehow fallen in love with.
“You’re beautiful,” he murmured, then leaned forward again, his tongue flicking and teasing, his hands sliding up to cup my ass and pull me close. My hips arched to give him more access, and he slid his tongue inside me, stroking and sucking as his lips buzzed my clit.
“Ash,” I breathed, tugging his hair, my body rocking against his face, desperately chasing the release he was holding just out of my reach. I felt the pressure building inside again, more intense this time, my core throbbing, and I bit my lip to stifle a groan of pure frustration.
He was going to stop again, and I was going to ache. To burn. If I didn’t come soon, I’d explode.
