He stroked a searing, excruciating kiss over the apex of my shoulder. My eyes shot open. His scarred fingertip lifted from my chest, and he tilted his chin to my ear.
The words were whispered, each smooth and elegant, but strange and unfamiliar. His warm breaths caressed my neck. But his words melted together.
“Please, I don’t understand. I… don’t know what you’re saying.” I bit my nails into the waves in the dirt.
His silver eyes glowed with such intensity, I instinctively pulled back.
Grating my bare foot over the jagged rock, I withered further away from his stare. “Please,” I pleaded, panting in anticipation of his undeniable touch. I stumbled as the rose-colored rock slipped from underneath my foot.
He encircled my arm in his marked hand and swept me closer to him.
My hands slid in between our bodies, resting on the angry brand on his scarred chest.
His lips edged into a grin. He lifted his hand and lazily traced circles and lines down my arms.
I closed my eyes and moaned. His touch was more magnificent each time. The sparks of lightning streaked only in my mind. Without pause, currents of euphoria and agony plunged into my thoughts, all stemming from the strokes at my arm. I tilted my head back to inhale his subtle sent.
“Mmm… what are you doing to me?”
His fingers continued their pattern over my forearm to the delicate skin inside my elbow.
Jesus! It’s just my elbow. It shouldn’t feel as if I’m burning alive.
His fingers caressed higher over my bicep, where he splayed his fingers wide and gripped again.
“No, don’t stop,” I mumbled, fluttering my eyes open.
He had never touched me so much before, and it was better than I ever could have imagined. His kisses had been so torturously ephemeral the past few years. I wanted this part to last longer… to keep him with me for just a little while longer.
A grin whispered over his lips. He bent his chin, leaning into me. His swirling eyes radiated with a metallic glow, brighter than before, shimmering in the darkness.
He bent his head closer to mine and pressed his warm lips to the hollow of my throat. The sparks I expected were nothing compared to the unyielding blaze of ecstasy that coursed through my veins. Flames of pure bliss ate at my mind until nothing remained.
I feverishly reached for him, needing to steady myself against the onslaught of pleasure. I gripped his shoulder as his tongue tasted the flesh on my neck.
I felt his chest vibrate against mine.
He gripped onto the back of my head.
Yes, please, like that…
I tilted my head farther back, giving his roaming lips access to everywhere I wanted them. I wound my hands into his thick, dark hair.
He sealed his body against mine, and the storm of rapture churned in my mind.
The warrior turned his head. Aching with need, he whispered, “Elskan mín, let me find you.”
I gasped in shock at my understanding.
I had never known his words before. He had spoken in a language I’d never been able to find. The words trailed together like an exotic song, but now I finally knew four words.
The hand tangled in my hair slowly released, and he trailed it down to my throat. Pausing, he stared into my eyes while his fingers tightened around my throat.
Sputtering for air, I struggled against his constricting hand. My feet dangled from the ground. I thrashed for a breath.
His silver eyes turned black. His bronzed skin melted into a milky-white sheen, and black claws burst from his fingertips.
Screaming, I tore at my sore throat, falling onto the floor. Clenching the carpet, I panted and blinked furiously into the darkness. I crawled to my knees and bent my head to my chest while gulping in clean air.
