I pushed my panties down past my hips, feeling my pussy clench hard at the thought of him walking through that door in a little while and finding me this way.
Fully bare, I stepped into the hot water with a soft gasp. I didn’t know how, but it was always the perfect temperature, not too hot to burn but not too cool, either. I shut the water off and sunk beneath the surface. I enjoyed its heated embrace with a soft sigh.
I pressed my fingers back against the spot on my forehead that his lips had touched, feeling the familiar burst of magic pulse through me the way it did every time I touched it. I bit my lip, dipping my head back and wetting my hair.
My pussy clenched and I gasped involuntarily as that same magic spiraled down into my core. I wasn’t sure if that was how it usually happened, but there seemed to be a distinctive, mystical energy to it, the likes of which I’d never felt back on Earth.
It felt so much stronger than that.
Unable to stop myself, I dragged my fingers down the length of my neck to my breast, squeezing my nipple gently and then a little more firmly. I sighed at the intoxicating mixture of pain and powerful pleasure, which urged me to dip my hand beneath the water and continue my explorations until my hand slid between my legs and I gasped.
My pussy was soaking wet, and my cheeks flushed with heat when I realized that it wasn’t water I was feeling.
“What are you doing?”
The sound of Nykor’s voice startled me so badly that my foot slipped, and I sank beneath the water.
CHAPTER8
Ella
In a flash, Nykor’s arms had surrounded me. Water splashed everywhere as he lifted my face clear, and I sputtered, unintentionally swallowing a mouthful of it on the way down. I coughed and he frantically turned my head, checking the place where I’d been injured.
“I’m fine!” I screeched, frustrated with myself that my whole plan of seduction had gone up in flames in no more than a second because of my own clumsiness.
“Shh. It’s okay, sweet girl. I’ve got you,” he murmured.
I sniffed back tears that threatened to fall during my coughing fit. When I finally got a hold of myself, I glanced up into his eyes. Water dripped down my face as I took in a shaky breath.
He was so very close.
His eyes bore into mine for a long while before his gaze dropped to my lips. His fingers subtly squeezed behind me, splayed across my lower back and only just grazing against the upper swell of my backside. The other wrapped around the rest of me, supporting my head as though I was a fragile treasure he’d caught just before it shattered on the floor.
The place he’d kissed on my forehead came alive with mystical energy as his eyes roamed down the length of my body. He took a very long,veryslow look at the rest of me before he lifted his gaze back up to mine. There was no missing the dark desire in the depths of his heated gaze. I could see it radiating from his every pore. He wanted me to know he was looking. He liked that I knew.
Our gazes connected as we stared at each other for a long time.
Then without warning, he suddenly gritted his teeth and pulled back, almost dropping me in the water in the hastiness of his retreat. As soon as I began to fall, my arms surged up and caught the rim of the tub as he took several steps back. His entire body radiated with barely contained restraint, so much so that he was visibly shaking right there in front of me.
What had just happened?
“Nykor,” I breathed, wanting to reach for him and for him to take me in his arms. I wanted him to look at me like he had before and then kiss me the way I needed to be kissed.
“You will dress and meet me in the kitchen for dinner. You need to eat to keep up your strength,” he growled.
His hasty retreat seemed tainted with disdain, and I lifted my chin, angry and defiant and impossibly frustrated at his marked change in behavior. I’d seen the way he looked at me. He’d wanted me just as much as I wanted him. I wouldn’t ignore what had just happened between us, and I wasn’t going to let him ignore it either.
“No,” I snarled in return.
He raised a brow at me, almost as if he couldn’t believe what he’d heard.
“What did you say?” he asked, his tone dipping dangerously low.
I pushed myself up to my feet, standing there with water dripping down my body as I glared back at him in open defiance. I knew what I’d seen, and I wasn’t going to let him run away from it.
“I said no,” I repeated, refusing to back down.
“No one refuses me,” he rumbled.
