She lifts up onto her tiptoes and kisses my cheek. “I promise I won’t do so unless it’s necessary.”

I grip her hips and pull her body flush against mine, and she smiles beguilingly. Never before have I seen anyone more beautiful. Even the legendary beauties within the halls of Oronrel pale in comparison.

“It’s not necessary. At least, not anymore. I’ll protect you, Eilish. I’ll protect you with everything I have.”

My hands stroke her hips and I lean forward to devour her mouth with a reckless abandon that causes her to moan into my kiss. I love her taste. Her elegant fingers toy with the strands of hair at the nape of my neck as I lift her up. She wraps her legs around my waist as I force my tongue deeper, delving into the heat of her mouth as I feel the liquid pool between her thighs.

A gentle snow drifts around us, fluttering to the ground and blanketing the vast landscape in white. Steam coils from her lush mouth as she sucks air into her lungs before returning my kiss.

When I lay her on the ice, she hisses slightly, arching her back and pressing into my equally cold body through the fabric of my tunic. I whisper a small spell under my breath and will her clothing away so I may feast on her naked glory.

My hands caress the soft curves of her body as my teeth nip at the delicate skin of her bottom lip. A moan pierces the air, and she presses her thighs together as if trying to feel friction. I move away from her mouth to sink my teeth into the base of her throat, then lick the sting away. She groans into me, grinding her core against the rigid length of my cock as it weeps at the tip, yearning to be buried within her body.

Prying her thighs open, I slot myself between her legs. She throws her head back and licks her lips as I thrust my erection in the crook of her thigh. The smug, seductive smile that appears on her beautiful face is far more than I deserve, for such purity only belongs to those who don’t dwell in darkness. But my thoughts are thrown askew when she rakes her nails down the length of my back.

“More,” she moans breathlessly. “Please, Theren.”

“I’ll give you what you need, Eilish. You’re so beautiful...”

“Please,” she begs shamelessly, rolling her hips until the weight of my cock slips against her folds, causing her legs to tremble. The snow and ice are forgotten and she tangles her hands in my hair, yanking my mouth back down to hers. My fingers pet her mound, eliciting a growl from her lips. It’s not long before my fingers are slick with her creamy essence.

I need her now, but her pleasure must come before mine. I begin slow, teasing thrusts of my tongue into her mouth as the pressure of my hand rides against her femininity. Light dances all around us as we chase that delicious pressure. My breathy chuckle against her chest sends her heart racing, and I taste her pulse with my tongue. I lightly bite her nipple before I follow it with a flick of my tongue.

“Please, please...” she gasps over and over.

My lips pepper kisses along the length of her torso, branding her skin with my touch as I explore every inch of her with my mouth. The heat rolling off her body is something new. We always play like this, but never before has she begun to glow with each stroke of my tongue. Growling like a beast, I settle between her thighs, placing my thumbs on each side of her velvet-soft lips. I spread her open and I can’t pull my eyes away from her bright pink flesh. Heat tinges her cheeks and she turns her head to look away.

“Watch me, Eilish. See how I pleasure you.”

She forces herself to look down and I smile up at her. My eyes flicker down to watch a single bead of her essence drip from her sweet center and I flatten my tongue, licking up her slit just once. She flies off the ground and her legs slam shut, but I’m relentless. My thumbs stroke her folds as I close my mouth over her sensitive clit and suck. She screams and fists her hands in my hair, riding the waves of tingles that have no doubt overcome her body. I blow on her clit and slip a finger inside her liquid heat.

She squeals when I plant a wet, hot kiss on her succulent flesh that causes her legs to tremble. Her eyes roll back as she watches me. I lean forward to taste her deeper, fingers thrusting and curling the way she loves. Incoherent babbles fill the air as she tries to scramble away, but I’m too strong.

“Theren... I c-can’t. Please.”

My tongue flattens once more and I drink in every twitch of her femininity.

“I need... oh...” She tenses as my tongue glides against the bundle of nerves. “More... more please. I need you inside me…”

“I could stay here all day, Eilish. I’m not through with you. Nowhere near it.”

I dive back in, slurping up the nectar that flows from her core. She squeezes down onto my finger and tries to close her legs as another climax causes her to shudder. Opening her legs wider, I add another finger and curl them up toward her pubic bone.

She screams, thrashing as she looks down at my glowing eyes and bites into the flesh of her wrist to cut off the next moan.

I ease back and move off her clit with my tongue, even as I continue to stroke it with my thumb. “Don’t fight me, Eilish. One more. That’s all I need, and then I’ll take you. I promise.”

I awaken to the emptiness of my bedchamber and my hips thrusting against the sheets. When my tongue darts out to wet my lips, I swear I can almost taste her.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

MORRIGAN

Oronrel

The kelpie thunders towards the Unseelie Kingdom; the black iron of the gates coil with dark mist as I dismount. The kelpie shifts into her feminine form. She walks one step behind me, ever watchful of those nearby. Pressing my hand against the spells on the gate, I bend them to my will, pulling their dark energy inside me. The bars burn brightly, hissing, until the lock shatters and the gate opens on my command. Guards race toward the entrance, but none dare to fight me.

“Where is Theren?” I demand.
