Page 29 of Kai's Hunger

I gasped in surprise, and he inhaled it, pulling me close. His tongue dipped inside my mouth The kiss was potent, electrifying. I couldn’t think, couldn’t move. His lips played and teased, turning my body to liquid fire in two seconds flat.I should push him away, send him on his way.Instead, I lifted my arms and wrapped them around his neck. Kai groaned as if pleased with my response, slid his arm beneath my knees, and pulled me into his arms. I heard a door slam shut. My body felt so light against his power and strength, devastating my senses.

He lifted his mouth from mine and whispered something against my skin, then moved his lips downward, teasing me beyond measure. I leaned back, giving him permission to lick a fiery path along my chin and collarbone. He zeroed in on the neckline of my shirt, leaving little kisses along my skin, and his talented tongue slid beneath the fabric and teased at my cleavage. I arched against him, desperate for more, hungry for his touch all over. We’d started something at the waterfall and I needed him to finish it.

Kai cursed, then stopped long enough to murmur, “Easy, Lily. We’ll get there, I promise.”

I didn’t like that answer to my body’s demands. “I don’t want easy. I want you.”

Kai stopped his ministrations and stared at me in the dimly lit room. What went through his head at that moment was anyone’s guess. When he touched my cheek, I practically melted at the tender caress. “There’s nothing I want more than to make love to you. All night if I had my way.”

I clenched my eyelids shut and admitted, “I feel like this is all happening so fast.”

Kai’s lips against my forehead forced me to open my eyes once more. His gaze held a wealth of tenderness. Butterflies came to life inside me, an entire swarm of them fluttering around in there.

“I like you like this. Anxious, wanting me. I’ve wanted you since the moment I saw you.” He paused as if carefully choosing his next words. “Rushing isn’t an option. Not for me. When we come together, I’ll need time. Weeks, even.”

I liked the thought. Too much, probably. “You talk too much, Kai. All talk, no action.”

“I like you this way.” He grinned and let his gaze travel over my torso. “Fuck, you’re a vision.”

I wanted to speak, say something sexy and flirty. But he effectively cut me off with a press of his lips to the pulse in my neck. “Oh, my God,” I moaned as I dug my fingers into his mass of dark hair, holding him firmly while he suckled my skin. I ached to feel those lips and that tongue lower. Much lower.

As if I’d spoken the thought aloud, Kai lifted his head, then crossed the room. He placed me on the bed, then said, “This needs to go,” he explained, as his big, capable hands went to the hem of my shirt. Air brushed against my stomach, then my breasts. I watched as his gaze darkened, his nostrils flaring. “Pure beauty.”

When his tongue flicked over one hard, I nearly shot off the couch. I forgot my hesitations. My body craved his touch. It’d been so long since I’d had sex. So damn long since I’d derived any real pleasure from a man’s body. And I knew instinctively that no other would compare to Kai.

As if afraid I would break, Kai lightly ran his tongue back and forth over my areola seconds before sucking my nipple into his warm mouth. He hummed in satisfaction, and the raspy vibration of his voice tormented me. Somehow I found myself sprawled, Kai’s hands on either side of my body effectively pinning me to the mattress. He surrounded me. His lethal strength and intoxicating scent filled my vision and my senses.

While he switched to the other breast, I marveled at his patience. He sipped at my skin and toyed with erogenous zones I wasn’t aware I possessed. When he appeared to be settling in for a meal, I urged him lower with a tug on his hair. He obliged and moved his loving torture south. My body reacted with a flow of heat to my center. Every inch of me was ready for him to take me. He’d be hard and savage, I knew it in my bones.

“Please, Kai.”

A grunt was the only indication he’d even heard my plea. By tiny increments, he tugged my pajama pants down, and with each piece of flesh he exposed, he sprinkled kisses. By the time the material was off, my pussy throbbed with need.

He sat back on his haunches, his gaze devouring me. “You don’t wear panties?”

Embarrassment flooded me, making my cheeks burn. “Not to bed.”

He passed a hand over his face and grumbled, “If you were in my bed you’d wear nothing at all.”

In his bed. God, why did I want to be there so badly?

Kai reached down and cupped my mound. “This is mine,” he vowed.

His statement brought a forbidden image to my mind. His. Yes. My clit swelled. I tried to maintain my cool composure, but when his middle finger found its way through my curls and sank all the way to the knuckle inside my heat, I gave up any pretense of control.

“Mmm, just look at you. Your pussy is ripe for the plucking. I think I’m going to really enjoy making you scream with pleasure.”

When a second finger joined the first, my hips began to move, matching his pumping rhythm. After thrusting several times, Kai brought both fingers out. I wanted to beg him to come back, but my words died on my tongue as I watched him suck my juices off each digit.

“Tangy, but I’m going to need a little more to be sure.” He spread me wide and dipped his head between my thighs, sweeping his tongue over my swollen clit.

I arched upward, and he was there, holding me down with a hand splayed across my belly. I moaned and writhed under his assault. His tongue dipped in and out, tasting and sweeping me into a different realm. I went wild when he sucked my clit into his mouth and nibbled it. Once, twice, and I suddenly burst apart, shouting his name and flowing into his greedy mouth.

He stayed there for long seconds after my orgasm ended, relishing the little aftershocks. Then he lifted his head.

“Fucking beautiful,” he murmured. “So fucking beautiful, Lily.”

Amen,was all I could think as I let my eyes drift closed. Then his weight lifted, and I opened them again, curious about what he was about to do. I watched him standing beside the bed, an impressive erection tenting the front of his jeans and some unnamed emotion on his face.
