Her body writhes beneath me, her skin hot to the touch as she grinds against me. I can feel her claws digging into my back, but it only drives me wild.
I pull away from her lips, trailing kisses down her neck and collarbone. My hands roam over her body, exploring every inch of her skin. Her breathing is ragged and uneven, matching mine as I push myself up to look into her eyes.
“You’re so beautiful,” I whisper breathlessly, my fingers trailing down the curve of her waist and over the swell of her hip.
Her lips part in a gasp as I move lower, trailing kisses over her stomach and hips. I feel the tremble in her body as my fingers slip between her thighs, teasing at the sensitive skin there. She arches her back, pushing herself into my touch as I finally give her what she wants. “Ah!” Her whole body trembles as I wrap my lips around her core.
I immediately feel the change in her, and I can feel the difference in myself. It’s like a living flame has begun to burn inside us. My heart beats triple time as I push her body to new heights. As if propelled by instinct alone, I find myself losing control of the fire inside me, consumed by the raw power of her heat.
She’s moaning my name, her voice hoarse as she whispers the words repeatedly. It’s like we’re vaguely aware of each other between the blaze of desire and other needs. My hands wander along the curve of her hips, resting on the swell of her ass as I pull her nearer to me.
ChapterSixty-Four
Achoking sound escapes Temperance as she pushes against my lips. Her body shudders, and her inner walls clench tightly around my finger before I feel a hot rush splashing against my tongue. Her hips jerk beneath me, pushing against my mouth as her body shakes with pleasure until she falls limp on the floor.
My body is tense as if every muscle is drawn taut to its limit, my whole body loaded like a coiled spring. I feel the air around us hum with energy, and I can hear the roar of a rising storm in her voice as she grasps me desperately. “Eziah, please,” she begs, and never before has any word sounded more like an incantation than those words. Yet, I worry about her reaction as I crawl back up her body, positioning myself between her legs. Malachi presses against my skin, but like Shadow, he gives this moment to me. How he can hold back is beyond me.
The world around us seems to fade as I pull myself up and move back on top of her. The sensations inside me are so intense that they blind me to everything else. Her hand meets mine, and our fingers lace together as my hips arch forward. There is no hesitation in my actions as I claim her as my mate, even though some small part of me knows I could hurt her. But it’s a dim feeling compared to what’s racing through my veins and the reaction from her, I am receiving.
Every inch of me feels like it’s on fire as the sweet release of her climax intensifies it further. My whole body tenses, waiting until the moment that she loses all control because, at this moment, all I want is to lose myself in that inferno of desire that burns inside me, consuming me. Leaning down, I kiss her before slowly thrusting into her in one thrust; she squirms, but just kisses me deeper. I gasp as I pull out of her, only to push back in.
I feel her hands run up my back to my shoulders as she holds me close, her nails digging into my skin.
Likewise, I cannot help the moan that escapes me as I pull out, only to thrust back in again. I want to cherish this moment forever, but it’s impossible when the fire inside me grows along with the pleasure that soaks through my whole body.
She moans and murmurs inarticulate words as our lips meet again. With every thrust of mine, she meets me halfway, grinding against me. Our bodies move just like a dance, as if we know what the other wants and needs before they ask for it.
I pull back, breathing heavily as I stare into her eyes, and then I thrust hard again, drawing a loud scream from Temperance before she buries her face in my chest. Her teeth sink into my shoulder, and I groan, my release coming too soon as an explosion of sparks rushes over my body; she falls back limp, her head cradled in my hand. My canines slip out; the next second, they’re embedded in her skin. She moans softly, and I feel the bond strengthen, but then fade as she passes out. I roll, pulling her on top of me.
I pause to catch my breath when my head turns to the side, noticing the fireplace beside us. Lifting my hand, I use my goddess-given gifts, bending the light, manipulating the mirror’s reflection, and the heat of my magic catching the logs inside alight. Just as they start to crackle, my mind goes back to Shadow and what she said.
Nova and I, we protected her. But hurt her, and you’ll wish you only had us to deal with. My name isn’t just a name—it’s a warning. Cross that line, and there’s no light that can save you from the darkness I’ll unleash. Remember that.
We’ve battled too hard to carve a path for her just for you to lead her into chaos. Break her, and you unravel the fragile threads holding our world together. Life and death, Eziah – they’re sides of the same coin, and it’s not one you want to flip.
Like a broken record, her words repeat in my head when Malachi finally pushes forward. “Something tells me Shadow has the answers we need. She knows more than she claims,” Malachi tells me.
“But we are her mate. Why would she hide it from us?” I ask him.
“She doesn’t know if she can trust us,” Malachi states, and I nod at his words, but something isn’t making sense. “We’ve battled too hard to carve a path for her, just for you to lead her into chaos?” I murmur, and Malachi is thoughtful for a second.
“The Gemini curse, maybe?”
“Mom broke that curse,” I remind him.
“But what if she wasn’t the first? What if there is more to the curse than what we perceive. One thing about Seline and Celeste, they weren’t forthcoming with information,” Malachi tells me.
“I don’t think that was intentional; a lot is at stake. Mom told us that,” I say.
“Domino effect.”
I nod at his words.
“Only one way to find the pattern, though, Eziah. We need to knock the first one over.”
“Shadow,” I tell him.
“Shadow, but how does Nova come into this?”
