Skimming his hands down her narrow waist, Ryshi efficiently slid off Sofie’s jeans. He blinked in astonishment when he revealed a surprising triangle of red silk.

The fragile undies were a tantalizing glimpse into Sofie’s romantic heart. She might pretend to be a cold, callous hermit, just as he pretended to be a reckless thief with no concern for the future.

They both yearned for more.

“I don’t know if I’m ready to return to the world,” she protested.

“We’ll take it at your pace,” he assured her, rising to his feet to shed the remainder of his clothing.

He paused as he stood over her, gazing down at her slender form. He’d never seen anything more beautiful. She was sheer perfection from the short strands of her golden hair down the graceful strength in her slender body to the tips of her tiny toes.

With a sense of awe, he sank to his knees beside her. She was a rare masterpiece that was his to protect. His chest seemed to tighten, as if the emotions inside him were too big to contain.

Bending forward, Ryshi brushed his lips along the curve of her neck before nuzzling a path down to the hollow at the base of her throat. Sofie growled in appreciation, her hands reaching up to thread her fingers in his hair. Then, with a sharp tug, she guided him toward her breasts.

“Teach me what pleases you,” he murmured in approval, releasing tendrils of smoke to caress her body as his lips captured the tip of her nipple.

“Yes.” She arched her back off the hard ground. “Like that.”

Ryshi chuckled, using his tongue and smoke to tease her to a fever pitch even as his fingers trailed down her body to trace the waistband of her undies.

“Are these your favorite?” he asked, moving his lips to pleasure her neglected nipple.

“Why?” she panted.

“I want to know how angry you’re going to be when I do this.”

Grasping the fragile material, he ripped them off her body. Satisfaction shuddered through him as she hissed with anticipation.

“They used to be my favorite.” Her complaint was ruined by the desire smoldering in her eyes.

“I’ll have them replaced,” he promised. “Every color of the rainbow.”

“So generous.”

He grasped her legs, gently tugging them apart. “Not generous,” he corrected. “It’s entirely selfish since I intend to rip them off you on a nightly basis.”

Her eyes glowed with an unexpected burst of amusement. “Generous and ambitious.”

“Only two of my many fine qualities.”

Her lips parted, but before she could speak her words were lost on a tiny cry of need as Ryshi settled between her thighs and found her sweet spot with his tongue. The taste of her exploded on his tongue, and Ryshi groaned. Glorious female power and intoxicating sexual temptation. It was more addictive than the finest nectar and he knew in that moment he would never have enough of this female. Not even with an eternity together.

Eternity.

The world whispered through his mind, and with a last lingering lick, Ryshi kissed his way up her naked body.

He desperately wanted to be buried deep inside her. Already his erection was hard and aching for release.

But first…

“Drink, Sofie,” he urged, angling his neck to give her full access.

She tensed, her fingers grasping his hair to tug hard enough to lift his head up to view her somber expression.

“If I take your blood, I’ll be bound to you,” she warned in a husky voice.

Ryshi shrugged. He didn’t know the intimate details of a mating, but he did know that once they shared blood their union would be indestructible.
