And part of me? She wanted revenge.
Von had done such a good job of convincing me that I had a place at his side, that my lips somehow belonged to him, and I’d eaten it all up. I mean, when I had kissed Arkyn back at the bathhouse, those emotions, that jealousy—sorry,territorialnature—of his seemed so incredibly real.
I’d believed it.
I’d believed him.
But it was all just a lie, wasn’t it?
My numbness gave way to anger, rippling and roiling through me. I channeled it, forging it into kindling to flame passion into my kiss.
Aurelius growled approvingly against my lips, pulling me up into his arms, my legs winding around him. Slowly, he sank to his knees, taking me with him. With his lips still entangled with mine, he knelt forward, positioning me so that I was lying on my back on the biting, cold, stone floor. I didn’t care if it froze my skin.
I was beyond caring anymore.
When he broke the kiss, my lips went chasing after his, but his hand pressed into my chest, gently guiding me backwards. He sank onto his haunches, his gaze drifting over my heated body, taking me in. His golden eyes lifted to mine, the heat in them enough to burn me alive. “Lift your skirts for me, my moon,” he commanded.
Heat singed my skin, the authority in his voice equivalent to a finger rubbing that sensitive bundle of nerves. The result only served to turn me on more. I pressed my heels against the cold stones, lifted my hips, and slowly pulled up my skirts—feeling his eyes watching me.
“No underwear?” he asked, a slight smirk touching his lips.
I blushed, feeling his eyes very muchonme. “No.”
“I like you like this,” he said. His eyes flickered to mine, catching my gaze as his fingertips settled on my ankles, softly, like a butterfly landing. Slowly, his featherlight touch moved higher, drifting over the sensitive skin of my inner thighs, stirring the nerves awake. All the while, he watched me, gauging my reaction.
“Without underwear?” I asked, my breath growing increasingly short the closer he came to my center.
“Yes.” His fingers found that little bundle of nerves, swirling and teasing it. “Seeing you spread before me, in offering . . . I have waited so incredibly long to see you like this. It is criminal what I wish to do to you.” His finger pressed into my core, sliding in until he was knuckle deep. “I don’t want to give your body time to adjust,” he said as he added a second finger, wrangling a husky groan from my lips. “I want to drive myself into you right now and force you to take every inch of me.”
I felt dizzy, remembering just how big he was. How badthatwould hurt. I started to think this was not such a good idea, but Gods, his fingers felt so good—
I licked my lips. “Alright.”
His nostrils flared, a possession overtaking him. He withdrew his fingers, leaving me hollow and aching for more. He reached behind his back and tugged up his tunic, tossing it carelessly to the side, revealing the golden skin beneath.
Shirtless, the King of the New Gods was something to see. He radiated with such beauty, such masculinity—all chiseled abs and rock-hard pectorals. Every inch of him was as incredible as the last.
He stood, loosened his belt, and chucked it to the side before he pushed his pants down, causing his length to spring free.
Great divine.
I’d had sex before, but I had never been with a male of that size. It was . . . incredible and terrifying, all at once. I swallowed, my insecurities bubbling up the longer I looked at that divine length, wrapped in silk—fit for a queen.
Aurelius returned to his knees, and then he was crawling between my legs,over top of me—his eyes never leaving mine.
He slid his length over that sensitive bundle of nerves. Our heads both dipped down. Like this, I could gauge just how impossibly deep he would be when he sunk himself inside.
This didn’t seem like just a bad idea anymore—itwasa bad idea.
Thatwas not going to fit. No way, no fucking how.
I swallowed, my head jerking up. Before I could tell him that I was having second thoughts, he captured my mouth with his. His hand slid beneath our bodies, his two fingers slipping into me, while the heel of his palm rubbed that sensitive spot—reminding me why I had agreed to this.
Gods, his touch was unfathomable.
I moaned beneath the smother of his kiss.
He pulled his lips from mine, his canines elongating before my very eyes. I whimpered, the memory of the pain he’d causedwith those teeth surfacing, reminding me that there was a time, not very long ago, when he had not been gentle with me.
