My gaze stayed locked on him as I slowly trailed my finger down my neck, then between my breasts, veering to the right. As my nail raked over my peaked nipple, my back arched, a heady moan escaping. When I eased down, I watched him through hooded eyes, noting the tick in his jaw, reveling in the way his hand hovered near his cock, as if he considered touching himself too.

“Evanee,” he growled, unmoving.

Lightning flashed outside as I moved to my other breast, gasping as I pinched myself. His tongue ran over his fangs, every muscle taut, eyes greedily locked on my every move. While I continued to tease myself, my gaze ventured further down to where his arousal strained in his pants.

Rain pelted the window. I swallowed thickly, dragging my gaze back to his fierce one, reaching to unfasten my leggings. Still, he watched, something dark and hungry flashing across his face as I pushed my hand beneath the band. Air hissed through my teeth as my finger touched the slickness between my legs.

“Cruel to make me watch when your arousal is the most intoxicating thing I’ve ever known,” he said through gritted teeth.

I smirked, shutting my eyes as I swirled my finger around the sensitive bundle of nerves at the apex of my thighs, gasping.

“Too bad,” I breathed.

The bed dipped, and suddenly he was there, his mouth crashing against mine, a snarl slipping from him as he settled beside me. My fingers stilled, before I pulled my hand free to wrap my arms around his neck.

He snatched my hand, bringing my slick finger to his face, gaze burning into me as he put my whole finger in his mouth, and slowly sucked as he pulled it back out.

My heart felt as though it would beat out of my chest, vision swimming.

“Fucking intoxicating,” he murmured, as he then guided both of our hands beneath the band of my leggings. My mouth fell open, eyes rolling to the back of my head when he pushed our index fingers inside me. Fangs scraped against my throat, but it barely registered. All of my focus was on our fingers and the rhythm he set us at.

“Ryker,” I begged, the sound choked.

His mouth lowered to my breast, sucking, teeth grazing, each pass making my lower belly tighten. My back arched, the subtle sting of my hair pulling as his hand twisted within the black mass, bending me to his will, only intensifying the pleasure. Our fingers moved deeper, and I cried out as he pressed my palm down on my clit, guiding it back and forth. Stars flashed behind my eyelids as my hips started to move, chasing release—

He pulled our fingers out, the bed dipping as he retreated, and I instantly missed his heat. What—

A yelp escaped instead as he hooked his fingers in my waistband and pulled my leggings all the way off, completely baring me to him.

Rain turned to sleet as his powers flared.

“Fucking beautiful,” he drawled as he moved down, kneeling at the end of the bed. Suddenly, he grasped my thighs, dragging me to him as he planted his head between my legs.

“Ryker what—shit,” I rasped, my head falling back as he swept his tongue right up my center. He growled in satisfaction, the sound reverberating against me. My cry sounded far away as he devoured me, worshipped me. As his tongue circled and flicked my clit, my hands fisted in the comforter, his name strangled in my throat as I rocked my hips.

Pleasure coiled tight—

The bed jostled as he pulled away. Again. A growl ravaged my throat as I propped on my elbows, everything throbbing.

Pants hit the floor, and my eyes flared at his size. There hadn’t been anyone since him either. Even though we’d been together before, I found I was… nervous. What if I didn’t do it right? Could you even do it wrong? Would he fit? Of course he’ll fit, dumbass, he did the first time.

Blood pounded in my ears to the same erratic rhythm of my pulse as he nudged my legs apart, positioning himself at my core. The storm outside raged, rivaling the heat and electricity building in this room.

The head of his cock nudged my entrance, making my mouth water.

“Are you sure?” he murmured, running his thumb down my jawline.

Not able to form words, I nodded. This was everything I wanted back then. All the time wasted because of an arranged marriage. Ryker was my match in every way. From the moment I saw him, my heart and body belonged to him. Even if it took time to see it.

"You're everything to me, Evanee."

My heart stuttered.

Great moon, I almost lost this. The thought struck hard–him. Us. A future.

His lips pressed to my brow as he reached down, guiding himself into me… Fuck. The way my body stretched around him stole my breath. Inch by inch he pushed further inside me, letting me adjust until he was fully sheathed.

The moan I released was raw, my fingers digging into his back at the feel of him. His muscles shuddered as he held still.
