Yes,I thought, and instantly, he lifted me onto a nearby flat rock. He placed me down with my hips level with his, and didn’t break our kiss as he ran a hand up my thigh, sliding it until his thumb brushed just outside of my center.Please,I begged as his fingers teased at my skin.
No need to beg, Morrigan. Every part of me… my lips… my hands… They are yours.
The moment his fingers moved to where I wanted them, I gasped, and Tristan let go of my lips but he didn’t move away. Instead, he shared my breath as his thumb traced circles over my sensitive nerves. One of my hands found its way to his hair, gripping it tightly, and Tristan bit into my bottom lip, pulling it back with his teeth.
Yours. I’m yours.Even the voice in his mind sounded frantic—needy.
He slid a finger inside me as he continued pressing with his thumb, and my moan echoed against the hollow cave.
Mine, I thought, knowing I could speak if I wanted to now. But there was something about our secret conversation that thrilled me. No one could hear us. It was something I could keep for myself.
I’ve wanted to touch you from the second you barged into my room. And those dreams? Gods, Morrigan…
I pulled his face back to mine, kissing him again.I want to feel you,I told him.
Not yet.
He quickened the pace of his thumb, slipping another finger inside me, and I cried out this time. I hadn’t even touched myself in months. While it hurt at first, it was the sweetest sting I had ever felt. I needed him to fill me more. To hurt me more. I wanted all of his pain.
Can you come for me? I want to feel you tighten around my fingers. I want to know what you sound like when you come apart. Every little sound. I want it all, Morrigan.
Oh, Gods…I almost wanted to curse myself for not letting him do this sooner.
Forget those gods.His lips kissed across my cheek, down my jaw, and to my neck.I’m the only god whose name should be on your lips.
The second he bit down on my skin, I cried out his name, and my climax forced its way through me in a thunderous wave. My entire body began to heat, and I felt the energy flooding my veins.
“Look at you,” he whispered breathlessly.
He was still rubbing me through my orgasm, making my body convulse as I opened my eyes. A bright light emanated between us. My veins were glowing so brightly that it made the stars disappear above us. The black lines on Tristan’s face had receded as our light connected, two halves coming together. It was…
“Beautiful,” Tristan answered my thought. Then, he cupped my face with his hands. “You’re so fucking beautiful.”
Just as his lips moved to mine again, I heard the kicking of pebbles from the other side of the cave and jumped at the sound of someone entering.
“Am I interrupting something?” It was Malakai’s voice.
Oddly enough, I was relieved that it was him and not someone else. As I tried to cover my body a little, Tristan chuckled and wrapped his arms around me so Malakai wouldn’t see the transparent undergarments clinging to my skin. “Yes, Mal, you are!”
“I could always join?—”
“Get out!” I snapped at him.
With a dramatic sigh, I could vaguely see him lean against a rock near the shallow water. Beside him, he set down the two robes he had in his hand. “I’m bored…andhungry. Do I get to eat the mind renderer now?”
I stiffened a little in Tristan’s hold, and he turned back to me, waiting for an answer. “I can come with you if you’d like. This isyourchoice, Morrigan.”
I allowed myself a couple more seconds to think before shaking my head. “I want to do this alone.”
He wasn’t bothered by my decision. He simply nodded and took a step back, allowing me to slip back into the water. “Tell me what you need, and I’ll have it prepared for you.”
I knew exactly what I planned to do. “I’ll need a table.”

MORRIGAN
My chest threatened to tear apart as I walked down the spiral staircase.
