LILITH
“Victoria.”
My name floats on the air, wrapping me in warmth.
“Luke? Where are you?” I cry out, searching the room, desperate to find him.
“Close your eyes, Tori. I’m here.”
“You’re not.” The words come out broken, and I want to stomp my foot and lash out at the weakness those words reflect. “I’m losing my mind, Luke.”
And I am. I’m hearing his voice, but it’s impossible. He’s been locked out, if Nolda is to be believed.
“I’m trying, baby. They can keep me out physically, but our bond is allowing me into your mind, even in Hell.”
“Luke, I don’t have my powers here. I’m stuck in a cell.” I rush the words out, needing to tell him as much as I can while we have this connection, but he shushes me.
I bristle at his dismissal of my words.
“I’ll be there soon. But for now, let me comfort you.” I shake my head, ready to argue. “Victoria, do as I ask. Please. Close your eyes.”
Reluctantly, I do as instructed, wanting more than anything to believe that he’s here with me, if only in spirit.
“That’s my girl,” he praises. “Now, concentrate. Picture my face. Imagine I’m holding you.”
I focus on recalling his features and before long, they spring to life in my mind and a sense of peace washes over me.
The entire scene takes on a mind of its own as Luke’s hands run over my shoulders and down my arms to the hem of my shirt. Without thinking twice, I raise my arms, allowing him to drag the cotton tee up and over my head.
His wicked smile sends goose bumps racing across my body as he flings the shirt over his shoulder.
“You are magnificent, Victoria,” he says, running his tongue over his bottom lip as he takes me in. “I’ve waited so long to have you in my arms. In my bed.”
“Please.” The single word is breathy and pleading. “Please, Luke. Touch me.”
His smile turns sinful, and his eyes blaze red, but only for a moment. It’s not frightening but completely erotic.
He wants me and I want to give myself to him.
It’s always been him.
“Victoria,” he groans. “This... is only in our minds. When I have you, it’ll be the real thing. I’ll savor every inch of you. For now, this will have to be enough.”
His hands caress my breasts and I lean into his touch, shoving myself deeper into his palms.
“Yes, Luke. This... yes.”
My words are becoming unintelligible to my own ears as pleasure and desire threaten to pull me under. I want them to. Need them to.
He removes one hand, lowering his head and taking one nipple between his teeth. He bites, just hard enough to draw a whimper from my lips, then runs his tongue over the peaked nub to soothe the minor sting.
It feels so good.
Too quickly, he moves away from my body, a pained expression on his handsome face.
“Someone’s coming. I don’t want them to see you like this.”
“Like what?” I pant.
