Cadence
The only sound discernible inside the cave was the slow trickle of water as it dripped from the ceiling.
That, and the rasp of my ragged breathing.
We stood chest-deep in the still water, and anticipation flooded my veins as Ryker watched me. He raised his fingers and traced a path down my neck to my collarbone. His touch lingered when he reached the pulse point at the base of my throat, and his gaze darkened when he felt the rapid beat that had settled there.
My breathing hitched, and my lips parted as he lifted his eyes to meet mine. Primal need burned in his gaze, and I was certain he saw the same in me.
“How I feel about you, Cadence, is unlike anything I’ve ever felt before,” he murmured.
He pressed his mouth to my throat as he left a trail of wet kisses all the way to the shell of my ear.
“You’ve buried yourself beneath my skin. Your presence has invaded my thoughts to the point of insanity. Not even my dreams are safe from your presence, and it feels as though you are haunting me,” he breathed. “Are you Cadence? Are you haunting me?”
Before I could say anything, he sucked my earlobe into his hot mouth and bit down. A shudder ran through my body and Ryker pressed closer, the head of his cock nudging at my entrance.
“You’ve become my addiction, my obsession, and I fear there are no lengths I wouldn’t go to, no boundaries I wouldn’t cross to keep you at my side.”
He’d proven that time and time again, and I hated it.
But at that moment, with him, I felt anything but hatred. It wasn’t disgust that had me pulling him closer, needing to eliminate any space between us.
Without warning, Ryker lifted me from the water and placed me on the ledge. He stepped between my thighs and stared down at me, open and bare before him.
“And none of this is a choice,” he murmured so quietly I almost didn’t hear him. “It’s a descent into madness. A pull I’munable to resist, even as it threatens to bring me to the edge of myself.”
Ryker lifted his gaze, and his eyes locked with mine. Obsidian had consumed the whites of his eyes, and I inhaled sharply.
Not from fear, though.
From anticipation.
“I know it will tear me apart, and yet, I would never escape it because, in that darkness, you are mine, and mine alone.”
Then his mouth was on me.
He placed a hand on my lower abdomen and gently pushed me until my back hit the cold, wet earth as his tongue swirled inside my opening. Ryker licked the length of my slit before he sucked my clit into his mouth.
A needy sound that I hardly recognized as my own escaped me, and I almost exploded then and there.
“You make the most delicious sounds, Temptress,” he purred, and as his warm breath hit my center, I whimpered.
“You’ll be a good girl for me, won’t you, Temptress?” he drawled, emphasizing each word. “When I give an order, you will obey. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes,” I breathed, desperate to feel his hands on me again.
Ryker chuckled darkly, pleased with my obedience.
“Now play with your nipples while I devour your needy cunt.”
I slid my fingers up my body and pinched one puckered nipple and then the other. When Ryker dipped his tongue back inside me, I cried out at the intense pleasure the competing sensations created.
Then he went to war on my pussy and everything else faded away.
I cupped my breasts, feeling the full weight of them as I continued to circle my nipples, pinching and squeezing as he’d instructed me.
The world could have crumbled around us, and I wouldn’t have noticed… or cared.
