Page 21 of Lured By the Siren

“I know it’s probably not what you’re used to, but I hope it will work for you,” I say, feeling a little self-conscious of our humble homes.

“This is perfect, and very generous. All one needs, to be honest.” He says, staring longingly at the bed. He must be exhausted—getting caught in the storm, almost bleeding to death, feasting on me, and then me returning the sentiment, and walking several miles across the island.

Shooting a glance down the hall and making sure no one is around, I blurt out. “I guess you must be pretty exhausted. You probably want to wash up and get some rest. Dinner is in a few hours, and I can come get you beforehand. There should be spare clothes in the trunk, and I’ll just leave you to it.”

Turning sharply towards the door, I feel like I should leave the room. The air grows thick, and I feel like I can’t breathe.

Kai grasps my wrist as I take a step to leave and pulls me round to face him. “Or you could stay and tell me more about what to expect from the others at dinner. Will there be anotherperformancewith our meal like the one in the front room? Dinner and a show?” He smirks, and my entire body relaxes.

I am not ready to show him off to the rest of the girls, but I know he has to come to our nightly meal. It’s tradition. If I can steal another few more moments with just the two of us, I certainly will.

I laugh, “No show. Just dinner and then the cleansing ceremony tomorrow morning.” He raises a brow, and I quickly add, “It’s fun, trust me. You will get to meet all of the other sirens more…intimately. They’re just as beautiful as Katerina and even more open about their appetites. I’m sure you could find a few to share your evening with.”

Why did I just say that? What is wrong with me?I don’t want him to find someone else to share his evening with. I want him to share it with me. I can’t stop thinking about how much I want to push him onto this bed and take every ounce of satisfaction I can muster from him before falling asleep wrapped in his arms.

Kai releases my wrist and moves to grip my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes. “I am not interested in spending the night with anyone,” he whispers. “Except you.”

Suddenly, his mouth crashes against mine, making me gasp, and I sink into his body. Gripping his shirt, I grind my hips intohis growing length, allowing his hands to roam down my back, my hips, and grasp the underside of my ass. He lifts me up roughly and I wrap my legs around his waist as he carries me to the bed.

“The door…anyone could walk in.” I rasp, neediness pulsing through me, wanting nothing more than to finally feel this man fully and completely. Kai gently places me down on the bed, showering kisses along the side of my neck and down my collarbone.

Leaving me desperate and pleading on the sheets, he kicks the door shut and slides the trunk in front of it just to make sure it’s secure.

His eyes rake up and down my frame as he prowls back towards the bed.

“Clothes off. Now.” He orders gruffly and pulls his shirt over his head, revealing an exquisitely sculpted chest. His trousers hang lazily on his frame, showing off the light hair trailing down his stomach to the barely concealed length that is straining against the buttons. I want nothing more than to see this man naked.

He has surprised me in more ways than one with his gentle touches and demanding desires. He’s so light-hearted in nature, but he has such a filthy mouth.

I know from experience that being a sailor is no easy job and most of the men that arrive here have bodies accustomed to a hard day's work. Even though Kai told me he’s not a sailor but a scholar, I never would have known. His body is a masterpiece of hard flesh and corded muscles.

His heated gaze meets mine, and I pull the strings of my simple top, slowly unlacing the knots behind my neck, watching as his nostrils flare. He’s practically quivering in anticipation. With a final yank, my top slides down my frame, leaving my breasts on full display.

Kai makes a sound deep in his throat and my nipples go hard as a wave of wanting washes through me. He continues to watch my every move as I trace my fingers down my stomach and tease at the waistband of my skirt. Tugging at the laces, I lift my hips to shimmy out of it and toss it to the floor with one soft thud.

I have never been the most sultry or sought-after siren, nothing like my sister, but I am proud of my body. I may be more petite than the others, but I have delicate curves and ample breasts for my size, and the way Kai is looking at me now—no man has ever looked at me with such desperate want in their eyes.

“Kai, are you sure?” I say, hoping with all my heart he wants this as much as I do. “Because if not…”

His hands grip my ankles and pull me to the edge of the bed, scooping me into his arms. He whispers in my ear, “I want this, Eve. In fact, I’ve never wanted something more.” And his lips are on mine again.

I break away from his kiss for a moment and stare into his shining emerald gaze, knowing then that he feels the same as I do.

Biting on his lower lip, I give in to the fever that has overtaken me. I slip my tongue between his lips and drag my hands down his muscular chest, searching for the buttons to undo his trousers. I can feel his cock harding further under my touch as his pants drop to the floor. Kai lowers us both down onto the bed, his large body towering over me.

“Never have I seen something so beautiful in my life. Not even a Dahlia or one of the vibrant flowers on this island. No other woman could ever compare.”

My heart melts at the sentiment, and my need for him only rises with desperate abandon.

I want this man. I need this man.

“I never expected to need a man in such a way, and I can’t wait for you to hold up your end of the deal from our walk through the jungle.” I smirk, “Are you going to show me all the ways I’m going to be screaming your name?”

His eyes turn feral and his mouth finds mine, hungrily his hands begin to explore my curves, trailing down until he finds my clit, and rubs delicate circles around it, before slipping a finger inside my pulsing heat, teasing my center.

“So wet,” He murmurs in my ear, “Is this all for me?”

“Yes,” I pant at the feel of his finger teasingly pumping inside me while his thumb strokes my clit. A moan slips out of me, and I whine, “More, Kai. I need more.”
