She tried to pull against her bonds, but they were too strong and she couldn’t wiggle out of them either. Were Doug and Liz looking for her? Was anyone worried that she’d been literally magicked away?
Vadim knelt up to continue his leisurely striptease, pushing down his pants and underwear to reveal his already stiff cock. As he palmed himself a bead of moisture gathered at the tip. With a groan, he leaned forward and rubbed his wet thumb against her lips.
“Taste this, too.”
She sucked on his thumb until he replaced it with his cock and then she sucked on that until he took control and fucked her mouth, one hand moving between her breasts, pinching and shaping her nipples into hard peaks of need. She used her teeth on him and his breath hissed out. Removing his cock from her mouth he slid it between her breasts, cupping her rounded flesh tightly around him. He groaned her name and came. The sharp scent of the sea and a hint of citrus infused her skin.
“Let me loose now. I want to touch you,” Ella demanded.
He took no notice, only knelt between her legs and pushed them wide and over his shoulders before devouring her with his fingers and his mouth again until she screamed his name. Even before she finished coming, he slid his cock back inside her and took her that way, each stroke long and leisurely from tip to root, and then slamming into her, making her beg and scream and forget everything but his taste, his body and his mind claiming hers. So wet now, his clever fingers playing with her clit and the pucker of her ass, marking her as the other men had failed to do, in every way he could. She couldn’t escape his thoughts either, and he couldn’t control them as well as he controlled his body. She was becoming aware not only of his need for her, but the astounding depth of his magical powers. She bit down hard on his lip.
“You could destroy me.”
Vadim went still over her, his cock hard, his heart pounding against hers.
“I couldn’t.”
“Don’t lie.”
He kissed her already swollen mouth. “Icouldn’t. I could kill anyone who touched you, though.”
“Is that a threat?”
He bit her back. “It just is.”
She tried to jerk her head away but he wouldn’t let her. “I’m not human. You know that, and I’m now a bonded male. Ask Doug, ask any of those men downstairs what that means and what they would do for their mate. I’m no different.”
She stared into his eyes. “So this is you being nice?” He pushed himself deep inside her until she moaned.
“Yes.”
“Winning me over with fantastic sex?”
“Yes.” He gazed down at her. “I don’t think you would enjoy any of the alternatives. Most bonded males would consider me to be within my rights to slaughter the three men you kissed and beat you soundly.”
She bared her teeth at him. “Go ahead, if you want me to castrate you with the bread knife.”

Vadim realizedhis black mood was evaporating when he was able to smile at her. “I’m no fool, Ms. Walsh. I’ll take what I can get.” He released her hands from their bonds. “And I have you right where I want you, under me, wet from my seed and begging.”
She opened her mouth—no doubt to argue with him—but he kissed her instead and increased the pace of his thrusts until she was coming all around his shaft. He came with her, fusing his thoughts with hers and making the floor shake with the combined power of their magic.
Reluctantly he rolled away from her and found their clothes. He handed Ella her bra and the sexy black dress she must have borrowed from Liz and placed her shoes neatly in front of her.
“Don’t tell me there isn’t a shower here.” Ella stepped into her shoes.
He raised an eyebrow. “Unfortunately not.”
“And you’re okay with that, Mr. Clean?”
He stepped into his underwear and pants, dusting the black feathers off as he dressed. “We’ll be home soon. We can shower then.”
She narrowed her eyes at him as she struggled into her black bra. “You’re up to something.”
He continued dressing, zipping her into her dress without a murmur when she ordered him to. Was it petty of him to like the thought of walking her down the stairs, through the rest of the party guests and out the door when she smelled of him? That all the males would know she was his mate and keep away?
Yes, it probably was, and most unlike him, but he was going to make sure it happened.
