Page 27 of Offering Herself to Darkness

“Xarex…oh please, I’m getting close…so close!” Nora moaned.

For just a moment, he looked up.

“Then be a good girl and come for me,” he growled and his eyes were gold again, she saw. “Come hard all over my face while I eat your sweet pussy, Nora! Come while I fuck you with my tongue!”

His dirty words, which were the last thing she would have expected from a Dark Kindred, made her buck her hips and pull his hair even harder as the pleasure suddenly overwhelmed her and she felt herself coming even harder than she had in the shower.

“Oh, Xarex!” she moaned as she ground her pussy against his mouth. “Oh please, you’re making me come! Coming so hard for you!”

He didn’t answer this time but his grip on her thighs tightened and he sucked her clit into his mouth, teasing it mercilessly to heighten her orgasm.

At last, it began to feel like too much. Nora was overstimulated—she needed to rest. But when she tapped on her new husband’s shoulder, he didn’t seem interested in stopping.

“Xarex, please!” she panted. “Please, I can’t…it’s too much! Please—stop for a minute!”

But it wasn’t until she’d begged him to stop several times that he finally came up for air. His eyes were almost wild this time—burning with sexual desire and full of golden flames. His mouth and chin and cheeks were shiny with her juices and he only looked half aware of what he was doing.

“Xarex?” Nora was beginning to be a little afraid of him. It almost seemed like he didn’t have an off-switch. “Can you hear me?” she asked breathlessly. “I…I need you to let go of me now. I can’t…I don’t think I can come again.”

Gradually, understanding filled his face and he finally pulled back.

“Forgive me,” he rumbled, his eyes flickering back to silver. “I…I have wanted to taste you for so long. I’m afraid I lost control.”

Nora gave a shaky laugh.

“It’s all right—I kind of lost control myself,” she admitted. “I was really pulling your hair hard, I’m afraid.”

He shook his head.

“I didn’t mind. I love feeling your pleasure when I taste you.”

Nora stroked his cheek.

“So…am I a numalla?”

“Oh, yes.” Xarex nuzzled his cheek against her mound of curls and then gave her pussy one last hot, open-mouthed kiss, almost like he was kissing her mouth. When he pulled back, his lips were glossy with her juices. “Yes, you’re a numalla,” he rumbled. “The most beautiful numalla I’ve ever seen. I just hope I didn’t scare you.”

“You did…but only a little.” Nora gave another little laugh. “For a minute there I didn’t think I’d be able to get you to stop!”

“Forgive me,” he said again and his eyes looked troubled this time. “I’ll try to keep better control of myself and my urges. It’s just…I’ve wanted you for so long.”

Nora felt a flash of emotion go through her. Xarex looked at her like she was a goddess he’d been lusting after from afar. She never could have believed that such a big, handsome, muscular guy would want to worship her with his mouth and tongue so badly that it would make him lose control of himself.

“Thank you,” she whispered, stroking his cheek. “Do…do you want me to return the favor?”

He shook his head and came up to settle beside her in bed and gathered her into his arms.

“No, just let me hold you for tonight. We have a long journey tomorrow. The Primus Nine system is in a whole different galaxy from your own.”

“Then we’d better get some sleep, I guess.” Nora surprised herself by yawning. “Oh…I’m so tired all of a sudden!”

Xarex’s silver eyes were suddenly soft.

“You came hard tonight, ellana,” he murmured, stroking her cheek. “Of course you’re worn out. Just relax against me and let yourself sleep. I swear I’ll guard your dreams.”

“Mmm…all right then,” Nora sleepily agreed.

Deciding that she would worry about everything tomorrow, she let herself relax against the big, muscular body that was cradling hers and, faster than she would have believed possible, drifted off to sleep.
