“Look at me, Goldie.”

And I tried to,I really did, but I was no longer in control of my body. It had been taken over by the pleasure he was wringing from me, and I had no say in what it did. Kaius’ hand gripped my face, angling it towards him before he slid it to my neck holding me in place. His hand a necklace of possession, I sunk into willingly.

Pressing down on my clit with his thumb, fingers pumping, energy pulsed within, pushing me higher. His movements on my already sensitive nerves bordered on pain, and for the second time, I came over his fingers, eyes locked with his predatory gaze. I was pretty sure I saw stars before Kaius gently removed his hand from between my legs. Lifting them to his mouth he licked them clean before leaning forward to press a soft kiss against my lips.

Our breaths came in shallow gasps between us. Pulling apart, we sank back onto the warm stones, the sound of the water filling the cavern once more.

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT

ELODIE

The water lapped around our naked bodies, arms pressed together on the shore of the cave. My eyes trailed the pulse of the scarlet rivers that crossed the ceiling above us, feeling it mirrored by the blood pounding through me. Kaius’ fingers hooked into mine, our magik sparking again at the connection.

It had calmed, the rush of energy that had consumed us both, to a simmer. A stark contrast to the inferno that had raged moments ago, but it was still there. Neither of us had pulled away. I knew I could, a single thought would have it falling back into me, but I didn’t want to yet.

Apparently, neither did he.

Did that really just happen? Did I really let him make me come in a cavern full of magik healing water?

The delicious throb between my legs reassured me that I did.Twice. I glanced down at his body, his thick cock—still hard —laying against his abs. I finally had the confirmation that every inch of him was indeed tattooed, but that wasn’t all that caught my eye as I confirmed what I had felt earlier.

Rows of sparkling emerald gems were studded down his shaft starting just under its swollen head, seven in total.

Fuck, I wonder what they would feel like inside me.

At the realisation that he hadn’t come, insecurity niggled at me, and my magik slowly pulled from him, the reality of what happened clearing the lust-filled haze of my mind. I attempted to unhook my fingers from his, but he gripped tighter.

“Don’t do it, Goldie.”

“Do what?” I swallowed thickly, unable to look anywhere now except the ceiling.

“Pull away.”

“You didn’t—” Gesturing vaguely towards him, I kept my eyes fixed on a red flower clinging to the rocks above me.

“Don’t think for one second that I don’t wish I was buried inside of you right now. That it’s not taking everything I have to lay here next to you and not fuck you into the stones until you’re screaming my name.” My pussy clenched with need at his words like it hadn’t just been shown the time of its life.

I chanced a glance over at him then, his arm resting on his stomach, eyes shut.

“Then why?” I asked.

“Because I need more than that. When I fuck you for the first time, when your voice is hoarse from screaming my name, and you don’t know if you want me to stop or beg for more; it won’t be on the floor in the dark. It will be somewhere I can worship you like the goddess you are.” His hand dipped down to his cock, and he squeezed, stroking it lazily once before letting go, and my pussy throbbed as I watched.

I was twenty-eight, hardly a blushing virgin, but Kaius made me feel more in those minutes with his tongue on my clit than anyone else I’d been with put together.

“But don’t you need to…” I trailed off again, finding myself more than willing to help him out.

He’s just had his head buried between my legs, so why was this so awkward to talk about?

“Of course. But I can wait. Sometimes the wait is just as rewarding.”

Silence fell around us as we laid together, and I couldn’t keep my eyes off him. The angel who had brought me to ruin on his fingers and tongue. This definitely wasn’t how I thought my day was going to end when I woke up this morning—nor at any point after.

The pendant on my chest pulsed as the last of our magik pulled apart, and my own mourned for his. I had no idea what it meant that our magik would connect like that. While it was terrifying being so completely wrapped in someone, I found myself wanting more.

“Where did you come in from?” Kaius’ smooth voice broke me from my thoughts.
