His hands run along my abdomen to my breasts, then he pops the front clasp of my bra. He dips his head to my chest and his wet tongue swirls around one nipple. I reach for his shirt, fisting it in my hands to pull him closer, but he grips my wrists and pins them above my head.
“I’m in charge here, love,” he whispers against my skin.
I wiggle my hips and let my legs fall open to him. Something wet circles my clit and my back arches off the bed.
“Please.”
“Mmm, are they feasting on you, baby? I can taste your sweetness on my tongue.” Jayden nips my breast and soothes the sting, lapping at it.
“Yes, more.”
With that demand, the shadows multiply, one pressing against my entrance as Jayden continues lapping at my breasts. Shadows wrap around my wrists, holding them above my head. I yank at the bonds, but they pulse a warning and hold me still. Jayden’s hands roam over me, caressing my skin as if memorizing me.
Maybe he is. We don’t know how long we’re going to be apart or if we’ll ever see each other again after tonight. A hot tear trails down my cheek, and then Jayden’s electric blue eyes are all I can see.
“None of that. Don’t cry, my love. This is not the end for us.” He licks the tear from my cheek.
“Then why do you look like you’re trying to memorize everything about me?” I yank at the shadowy restraints again.
“Trying to? I don’t need to try and memorize you. I have had every curve of your body memorized since that very first night at the inn on the way to the academy. You are exquisite in every way.” His shadow pushes inside me and a cry escapes my lips at the fullness.
Jayden’s eyes flare at the response to his shadows and he sits back on his heels. His fingers trail a path up the insides of my calves to the backs of my knees and he spreads my thighs wider so he can watch his shadows as they lick my clit.
“I need you,” I say. “Please.”
“You have me. All of me and you always have.” He presses a kiss to my inner thigh so close to where I need his tongue and bites the skin there.
“I need your mouth on me, not just your shadows.” I roll my hips.
Jayden presses a hand to my waist, holding me still against the bed, helpless to do anything but feel as he licks up my slit and circles my clit with the tip of his tongue at the same time his shadows thrust inside of me at a merciless pace.
“Mmm, my shadows are me, baby. I can feel everything they do to you. I taste your sweet juices on my tongue as they lap at you. Fuck, you’re perfect,” he says and sucks my clit between his teeth.
The orgasm thunders through me so unexpected that a scream echoes around the room and a rainbow of colors swirls in my vision. My body trembles beneath his and tiny sparks of lightning crackle along my fingertips.
“Control it, baby, or I’m going to come like a damn teenager,” Jayden groans.
“I can’t.” I pant through gritted teeth.
“Need you to. I don’t want to come in my pants and my shadows are still fucking you through your orgasm, making me harder than granite.”
“Then take off your damn clothes and fuck me already. I need you.” I roll my hips again, making Jayden growl.
“You’re going to be the death of me, baby. Fuck.” Jayden spits the words out and rips his shirt over his head.
Lightning crackles along my fingertips and I yank at his shadows. “I need to touch you.”
“I can’t.” Jayden jumps from the bed.
My brows scrunch down in a frown as he yanks his pants off along with his boxers and his huge glistening cock springs free. I lick my lips at the sight of him as he crawls toward me.
“Stop looking at me like that, love. I won’t last if you keep it up.”
“How am I looking at you?” I cock my head to the side with a sultry smile.
“Like you want to devour me. I’m the only one doing any devouring right now.” He grips my hips and yanks my body to his.
“I do want to devour you, but that will have to wait for another time, won’t it?” I ask.
