“Why not?” I mewled.

“Because the first time I’m inside you I need to see your face,” he told me, increasing the speed and pressure of everything he had touching me.

Arms and hands and fingers. Teeth and lips. Those wonderfully aggressive magic appendages.

He was elevating every sensation, winding me up so tight I would surely explode any second. My eyes began to water and I realized I had been holding my breath.

When Casimir pinched my engorged flesh, I gasped. Masterful fingers held me between pleasure and pain while his coating of magics rubbed and massaged every ounce of skin.

It was too much and not enough at the same time.

With zero awareness of the world speeding by, I rode the wave of mindless pleasure he was extracting from my body. My eyes fluttered as I was consumed by a release so powerful I couldn't even scream. Instead, I sobbed as my muscles convulsed, insides straining.

The magical limb vanished and soft, firm hands replaced it with a soothing touch. He was still kissing and sucking on the pulse point at the base of my neck. I could feel the fierce length of his erection against my backside.

I didn’t care if we reached Solar House right now. I was ready to pull him back into the woods and let him make good on that promise he’d made while I was pinned to a tree.

Casimir ended my fantasy abruptly by shifting us in a stutter of speed. We were flying up, not forward. My vision came back into focus only to be greeted by a wall of onyx within an arm’s length.

If I’d had more air, I might have screamed.

We were racing up the side of a mountain. Despite our speed, I could make out the varied striations branching through the rock. It had to be the stone used to build Embour.

Casimir’s hips rocked into me in sync with his hands’ frantic pace. I forgot about the mountain and twisted enough to kiss the flesh under his jaw.

Suddenly the world became pitch black as we were compressed and stretched, but not uncomfortably so. We passed through the wall of a spell. Before I could panic, we emerged through a small opening into a dimly lit room.

I caught a glimpse of an enormous bed right before we entered the bathroom. We passed through another spell then came t0 a halt. As soon as we landed, water shot out from the shower head.

Instinctively, I tensed, waiting to be hit with an icy spray. Casimir chuckled and moved us under the stream. We solidified under the already heated water.

When my feet hit the shower floor, I looked down. The water was a disturbing shade of dark pink. I gulped.

I’d forgotten about the blood.

Casimir brought me back to the present. His fingers and shadows made short work ridding me of what was left of my clothing. The garments fell away and landed with a wet thud. I turned in his arms and watched in fascination as he did the same to himself.

He kept his hands on my body the entire time. At no point did some part of his skin not touch mine. We stood completely bare, palms on one another but nothing else in contact.

“Remove your hands from my chest, Raven.”

“Why?”

“Because as soon as you do, I’m going to lift mine from your waist. The moment we break our connection is the moment the haze will be strongest.”

Leaning forward, I kissed one of the glyphs on his tattooed flesh. The muscle under the ink tensed.

“Are we not already feeling the haze from ghosting?”

“No. That’s just the mutual attraction between us.”

I found that hard to believe. This was so far beyond mutual attraction I couldn’t come up with a name for it. Whatever it was called, it was burning me from the inside out.

“Why are you warning me? I seem to recall a promise from you regarding our arrival. Or have you already forgotten?”

His gaze was like molten silver, lustrous and glittering. Shadow magic danced around, dimming the room and skirting our skin. I doubted I could be turned on any more than I already was.

Casimir pushed gently until I was flat against the stone wall. I dropped my arms, holding my palms to the wall near each hip. The next move was up to him.
