A startled huff broke from my throat when Erik slid my gown to my waist, baring my sex to him. “What . . . what are you doing?”
His sunset gaze held mine. “Have you never been touched, Songbird? Never been tasted?”
Heat flooded my veins in embarrassment, but faded when his face moved lower, so his warm tongue dragged up the sensitive skin of my inner thigh. I shook my head.
“Tell me to stop then.” Erik’s rough, callused thumbs traced where he’d licked my legs.
My heart wouldn’t slow, the beat rampaged through my skull. My insides twisted in desperate need. I bit my bottom lip. “I won’t.”
The same flash of hunger consuming me lived in Erik’s eyes.
“Good,” was all he said before a jolt of pleasure surged in my veins, like I’d leapt into a frozen lake in the dead of the frosts, when his tongue swiped over me between my legs.
Gods his . . . hisfacewas buried between my thighs, and I could not catch a breath.
He pulled back and swiped his tongue over his lips. “My perfect songbird. I imagined you tasted just as perfect.”
Erik dipped his head and drove his tongue against the wet heat of my center again.
My breaths would not calm, and I hardly cared. I propped onto my elbows, lost in a delirious stun as I watched the top of the king’s head move with every flick of his tongue. A shudder of desire alighted my skin in a blistering heat. His tongue and lips tasted all of me, his teeth nipped at sensitive flesh, and I couldn’t imagine anything more . . .right.
I closed my eyes, and hooked a leg around one of his shoulders, giving him space to drive me into madness.
“Erik . . . more.” I let my head fall onto the soft quilts of his bed.
His hands cupped under my ass, bolstering me as he licked and kissed the arousal off my core with a ravenous frenzy.
“Say you hate me all you want, so long as all this is for me. Your cries, your taste, those ragged breaths. Those belong to me.” He slung my other leg over his shoulder, deepening his angle.
I tangled my hand in his hair and tugged on the ends. He hummed, low and deep, against my entrance.
“Keep doing that,” he rasped, “and I will forget to be gentle.”
I let out a breathless laugh. “Who said that’s what I wanted?”
Erik paused for a moment, then I thought I caught a whispered, “Damn you,” before his mouth claimed me again, only now he followed his tongue with a finger, then two. They dipped into my core, tormenting me until my body writhed beneath his cruel, perfect combination of tongue and fingers.
I choked on a sob when the rough callus of his thumb added friction and pressure to the tight apex. I rocked my hips against his face, unable to stop, as sensation built in the lower half of my belly. Like a stream of heat rolled through me, from my toes, through my chest, to my skull. One wave after the other left me locked in a bit of madness I didn’t expect.
I whimpered and gasped and tried to mute noises. Before the wave stopped, Erik reared over me and took my mouth with his again.
I tasted me on his tongue. Gods, I wanted to touch him the way he touched me. I wanted to experience the heat of his body the way he’d devoured mine.
My fingertips tugged on the top of his belt. Erik’s lips parted, and he widened his stance. Once I’d unlaced the top of the trousers, he guided my palm down his front until my thumb brushed through a sticky bead of arousal on the tip of his cock. To taste the musk of his smooth skin was a new experience I never anticipated I’d want more than I wished to breathe.
When my grip around the shaft tightened, a shudder rushed through the tension of his muscles, and short, breathless pants rolled from his throat.
A booming knock echoed through the room.
Pin pricks rippled up my skin, and Erik’s eyes snapped open. We froze, my gown bunched over my thighs, pleasure still hot in my core, and my fingers down his trousers.
“King Erik,” Larsson’s voice (I was positive he had a bit of a laugh in his tone) shouted from the corridor.
Never had I wanted to murder someone more than I did in this moment.
“What?” Erik snapped.
“Storms on the rise. Crew checks are in place. The tides are telling us the time to set sail is now.”
