Despite the tight seal of her mouth around his flesh, he still overflowed her lips, leaking down her chin, down his own pulsing column.
Through it all they held each other’s stare.
Andros felt her gaze spear into the very core of him.
And it…hurt.
Even as the intensity and euphoria of his release filled his body with drowsy, buzzing pleasure, it hurt.
Because while he opened himself to be broken and claimed by her, and while he yearned to claim her fully in return, he hadn’t touched her heart and soul in that collision of stares.
That moment of truth.
She hadn’t opened herself tohim.
Not yet.
He let her suck on him until he was too sensitive to withstand more. He pulled a little on her hair in warning.
Still, she suckled and swallowed until he hissed, and tightened his grip on her mane, making her mewl and moan.
She grinned at him in defiance, though she lessened the pressure of her mouth, only licking gently now around the cockhead, gathering every last drop of fluid from the crown.
“Mmm,” she mumbled as she licked, “I love your taste. I can’t get enough of it. I want to make you come again and again. You are the most beautiful wonder I’ve ever beheld.”
Andros could not speak.
He was equal parts pain and pleasure in this moment. Everything she said and did should have given him nothing but pleasure.
They did. More than he could ever have imagined.
But while Divina clearly desired him, craved him, she hadn’t fully accepted him.
Not as a Mate.
Not the way he wanted her.
It was not something he could command or force or will, he knew. She had to choose him from her heart.
Her saucy smile faltered when she looked into his face, turning uncertain.
He lowered his gaze from hers and swallowed past the suffocating ache blooming like fresh blood from a mortal wound in his chest.
This felt worse than when she’d rejected him before, though she’d told him the opposite with her words just now. Those words didn’t mean the same when she said them than when he did. He felt the difference when he looked into her eyes.
“Andros…” she whispered, her voice hesitant.
He took a deep, fortifying breath and pulled her into a long, devouring kiss, growling low when he tasted himself in her mouth.
At least he had this. He could claim her body.
If only it were as simple to claim her heart.

Divina knew she fucked up again in the last two seconds of their wordless stare. Before he looked away and swallowed her half-formed plea with a distracting kiss.
But she wasn’t totally distracted.
