She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen, being bathed in moonlight seemed to make her glow and it took everything I had not to reach for her. The mischievous side of me couldn'thelp but wonder who out here would stop me from being with her? Would she let me touch her again? Kiss her?

Senara

"What do you think?" Thorn's voice was gravelly and made goosebumps erupt all over my skin. It was a tone I’d only heard before when we were in bed together.

“It’s beautiful,” I breathed before taking another deep breath and savoring the night air.

“So are you,” Thorn said from directly behind me.

I spun to face him, only to practically smack into his chest. “Don’t do that. You used me, you made it seem like you were killing me. You said we couldn’t be together and all of that, or was that just bullshit?”

“It wasn’t bullshit, I promise you that, but you are irresistible when you’re bathed in moonlight. And you know I only pushed you into the veil to save you.” He moved past me and sat on the edge of the lake, using a boulder to support his back.

“And using me?” I asked, my hands landing on my hips.

He grinned up at me. “You offered yourself to me, and I know what you feel like, what you taste like. You can’t expect me to turn down a free meal like that.”

“Any decent man would have,” I replied with a sniff.

“Come a little closer and I’ll show you what an indecent man would do.” He waggled his eyebrows at me, in a way that surprised a giggle out of me.

“You said we couldn’t be together,” I repeated.

“I did, and this would be the last time we could if you were to take me up on my offer.” He shifted on the ground slightly, one of his hands resting on his lap, just next to the bulge that had started to form in his pants.

My body reacted almost instantly. An ache of need shot through me like a bolt of lightning.

“Being together now would be a bad idea, besides look at our size differences. Your cock was already big to begin with, I doubt I’d be able to take it any more.” I glanced at the bulge once more.

“You could take my tongue and my fingers though, if you wanted that is.” He lazily stroked a hand over his cock through his pants and that lightning bolt turned into a fire that was burning me from the inside out.

Just seeing him grip himself as he stared at me with hunger in those golden eyes of his was enough to have me turning into a puddle of desire. Why couldn’t I resist this man? Was it because he was the only lover I’d taken to bed multiple times? Or was it because I knew he respected me as a soldier, as a warrior, which was unusual for men, at least in the human lands.

I took a hesitant step toward him, standing over his feet as I watched him, evaluating him. I should make him beg for me, to show me how much he needed me. I had a feeling that if I made him do that then he’d ask the same of me, and the last thing I wanted was him knowing how much of a hold he had on me.

I didn’t want to want him. I wanted to hate him, to refuse him, but my body wanted something completely different. My body wanted every inch of him covering me, of the pleasure it knew he could give me.

“Come a little closer and I’ll make the decision for both of us,” Thorn promised.

“Why do you want to do this? Shouldn’t we just stop now if it’s really that impossible for us to be together?”

Suddenly Thorn was on his feet and standing right in front of me, looking down at me. His hand gently cupped the back of my head as I had to crane my neck to look up at him. “Senara, I want you every minute of every day. You’re the pulse in my veins, the beat of my heart. I’ve never wanted anyone or anything the way I want you. It’s a constant need, one that I can only keep in check thanks to decades of denying myself.”

His words were my undoing, just like he probably knew they would be. “Prove it.”

The smile that broke across his face was like the sun coming out from behind clouds. He did the opposite of what I expected though and dropped to his knees in front of me.

His face was about level with my breasts, a fact that he took full advantage of by immediately sucking on a nipple through my clothes. I yelped in surprise as he wrapped his arms around me and held me close. How he had even found it was a mystery to me, but he’d known exactly where it was.

“May I remove your clothes?” he asked.

I nodded, panting from the way he’d been teasing a single nipple.

In a few swift motions he had my clothes off, and I was nude before him. He dove in, sucking and licking at first one nipple then the other as I moaned and did my best to hold myself upright.
