“But you’re hurt—”
His mouth plundered mine.
His hands grabbed fistfuls of my hair, and he kissed me as if he’d been kissing me his whole life. Savage and smooth, sinful and sensual. His tongue licked me and made love to me and fucked me with every debased, divine way possible.
I met his invasion with my own tongue, lapping at him, dancing, knotting everything that we were.
The chill coating his skin vanished, leaving his body unbearably hot. I held onto his shoulders and let him kiss me. Sweat broke through his pores as another grunt of sheer agony rumbled in his chest.
I tried to pull away, to get off him and go for help, but he wrapped his arms around me, keeping me prisoner, ignoring my denial.
Our mouths slipped free as he buried his face into my cleavage, panting hard, steam almost rising from him in a mix of pain and need. “Let me have you, Eleanor. I’m begging you.”
His hands spasms around me. Another low growl of discomfort made me mad. “But I’m hurting you—”
“You could never hurt me.”
“My weight on your leg—”
“This is the only position I can have you.”
“You’re in pain from the helicopter—”
“I don’t care.”
“I care.” I tried to push him away, my hands colliding with the brick wall of his very male chest. “I refuse to hurt you when—”
“You’re hurting me more than I can stand by saying no.”
“I’m not saying no. I’m saying you can have me in a few days…when you’re feeling—”
“I need you now. I can’t wait.”
“Why? Why can’t you wait?” I ran my hands through his damp hair. “You need to rest.”
“Rest?” He snorted. “I can rest later.” He shoved my hands away. His temper appeared, fierce and flashing over his gorgeous face. “And I’ll tell you why I can’t wait. I watched my brother fly away with you. I arrived to you fighting him off. I came face to face with almost losing you, and it made me realise so many fucking things.” His nostrils flared. “I love you more than anything, and I’ve caused you the worst kind of pain. Multiple times over. I look at you, and I can’t stop seeing everything that I’ve done. Every hurt I’ve caused. Every drop of blood I’ve spilled. And I—”
I kissed him.
I shut him up as his chest seized and the thunder of his heart stuttered strangely.
I kissed him because I didn’t want to hear the aggressive torture in his tone, but his heart once again thrashed behind his ribcage and jolted his whole body.
I went to pull away, pressing my fingertips to the out-of-sync drumming of his pulse, but he dragged me close. So close. Too close.
He inhaled me, devoured me.
He dropped his hand between my legs and rubbed my clit with every electrical fire we shared. “Is elixir still in your blood?”
I moaned as he pinched my clit, activating a million sparks. Didn’t he know he was my elixir? I didn’t need a vial of lust when he was the creator. “Faint…if any.”
“The sedative kept your heart from giving out.” He tested my wetness, dipping the tip of his finger inside me, making me clench and shudder. “I’m glad it worked.”
“You knocked me out?”
“I wasn’t in the position to fuck you at the time.” One long finger dipped inside me, frustrating and provoking. “I couldn’t allow you to be in such pain. After last time…Christ, Eleanor, I would’ve done whatever it took to protect you.”
His heart continued to thrum oddly, distracting me. “Sully…please talk to me. What’s going on—”
“Stop.” His forehead pressed to mine. His glowing gaze so close, his face twisted with ardent need. “Don’t question me. Don’t stop me. Just…let me have you before…”
I frowned, hearing a phantom sentence that wasn’t verbalized.
Let me have you before …before we go home? …while it’s still dark?
Horror made me shiver.
Let me have you before …I can’t.
My eyes flared.
Pain cracked my ribs.
Fear made me snappish. “Sully, stop this. Right now. Whatever you’re not telling me—”
“Hush.” He ducked his head again, breaking eye contact to deliberately keep his secrets. His mouth found my nipple, sucking my breast deep into his mouth. “Be mine…just for a little longer.”
His voice vibrated along my sensitive skin. His plea doused the terror in my blood. All while his heart continued to pound, strong if not regular, possessive if not normal.
He came for you.
He’s asking for one thing.
Give it to him.
His teeth teased my nipple. His nose pressed against my soft flesh. His fingers found my pussy again, driving two deep inside me.
I wasn’t immune to him, no matter my worries. He’d always had the power to command my body without elixir deleting my proprieties. We had undying magic, a potion and alchemy that switched rationality into insanity.
“Eleanor…give in.” He licked and nipped at my cleavage, inhaling hard before capturing my other nipple.
