The words struck Marius to the core of his being and that same thrill returned, riding his nerves like an electric storm. Desire hit next all over again, so that this time he was on his feet and didn’t hold back.
He sensed her own responsive need for him and clattered her fork on her plate. She rose at the same time, stretching her arms out to him so that he’d caught her up in a tight embrace before he realized it.
The feeling, the desire, was damn mutual. “I want to take you to bed and make love to you. How does that sound?”
“You’d better,” she murmured, then kissed him hard. When she parted her lips he drove his tongue inside so that he felt her body weak
en against his.
He caught her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom. But as he turned toward the bed, he laughed. “I wondered why Gabriel had gone in here just before he left. The man’s a romantic.” The covers were pulled back and three long-stemmed white roses lay on the dark-blue silk sheets.
Shayna leaned her head against the crook of his neck. “He thinks we’re lovers.”
Marius turned her just enough to look into her eyes. “Aren’t we?”
She shivered. “Oh, yes, we are at least that.”
And right now, he wanted what he’d never thought to have in his entire life: He wanted Shayna to be his woman.
* * *
Shayna lay facedown on the bed, one of the thornless roses clutched in her hand, the intoxicating rich scent adding yet another layer of pleasure.
Her clothes were gone and just before Marius had told her to stretch out on her stomach, she’d caught a glimpse of his naked body. All that sheer masculine brawn had made her more than willing to do whatever he wanted her to do.
That, and she trusted him.
She felt his hands first on the backs of her thighs, his thumbs kneading the swell of each of her buns. He pressed his fingers into the outside of her thighs, massaging gently.
She released a sigh. The man could touch her anywhere and she’d grow limp and yielding, just wanting more.
Her fingers played over the white velvety petals as he swept his hands lower and pushed her legs apart. She felt the mattress move so she knew he’d climbed between.
It was exciting to know he was behind her—but she couldn’t see all of him, just glimpses now and then when she craned her neck. He’d lit a single candle, a very bright spot given how well she could see, but it had the advantage of casting light and shadow over his muscles.
He planted his hands on either side of her shoulders and she felt his stiff cock as he slowly slid it up her crack all the way to her waist, letting her feel him.
All that maleness made her hips rock, pushing into the mattress.
He covered her hands with his and locked their fingers together. She gripped him hard in return. She needed this experience with him more than anything, to be this close to him after all they’d been through, to be physically joined with him. The blood-chain was one extraordinary experience, but nothing could ever replace the sheer physicality of sex.
He kissed the back of her neck repeatedly, and she arched enough so that his tongue could reach the vein.
I want to take you from behind and drink from you like this. Would that please you?
She moaned softly. Yes, it sounds wonderful. Ah, Marius.
Yes?
No question, really. I just like saying your name. She said it aloud this time. “Marius.”
While still laying kisses over her neck, he dipped low to push his cock between her legs. He released her right hand and slid his arm under her stomach, pulling her up onto her knees. He swept her long hair off her right shoulder well away from her throat, then used his hand to find her entrance.
She cried out at the mere feel of his cock starting to push inside. “I love how that feels.”
“You’re so wet for me.” He drew back, gripped her hips, and with firm thrusts made his way inside. He took his time and with a steady rhythm, in and out, began building her pleasure.
“I love doing this to you, Shayna.”
