Page 24 of Blood and Reign

The energy thrums underneath my skin, pulsing back and forth. I try to pull it back, but it’s no use.

“I think it’s my powers. They were building just before you pulled me out. I’m having a hard time pushing them back down.” I glance around the cave, looking for an outlet. For something that I can push it toward, but unless I want another cave-in, it is out of the question. And the water is not an option with those shadow things in there.

I glance down at my hands as they start to shake. Rion grabs them, squeezing them gently. “I have an idea, but we’ll have to be quick.”

I look up at Rion and watch a wicked smirk light up his entire face.

“What—” He pulls me to him, crushing his body to me as his lips hungrily meet mine. I’m momentarily confused and it takes me a moment for my brain to figure out what’s happening.

As soon as I do, I wrap my arms around Rion’s neck and deepen the kiss. He moans, sliding his hands up my back.

It only takes a couple of seconds before I’m lost in the taste of him. Each brush of his lips and swirl of his tongue is addictive, making me crave more. More of him, more of his scent and touch.

My hands move, trailing across his shoulders and down his wet shirt. His muscles tense under my fingertips as he moans against my lips.

“Siren…” He kisses me deeper pulling me in, like he doesn’t want this to end anytime soon.

I pull at the hem of his shirt as he drags his lips away from me. His gaze hooded as he stares at me.

Another spike of energy shoots across my body reminding me why we started this. “Shouldn’t we be quick?”

He chuckles, and the low husky tone of it sends warm shivers down my spine. “Forgive me but when it comes to you, I want to savor every moment.” He places a kiss on my lips. “Every taste.” He slides a hand up my back. “Every touch.”

He leans in and brushes his lips to mine once more before getting up and undressing, his eyes never leaving mine.

My mind and body heat up as I get lost in every muscle and curve of Rion’s body, his entire build looks as if it were carved from stone. My gaze trails down to his Adonis belt and lower to the large erection before moving back up to his face, where a wicked smirk is in place.

“It’s lucky this needs to be quick, because I’m not going to last long with you looking at me like that.”

I smile, shaking myself out of my daze and standing up to whip off my clothes, throwing them beside Rion’s.

Rion’s eyes darken as he pulls me into his body, his lips meeting mine once more. I moan as his hands trail down my back to under my thighs. I wrap my arms around his neck as his grip tightens. He lifts me up, gripping him tight as he lays us both down.

I barely feel the ground beneath me, my entire focus on Rion, as his warm, hard body leans into me.

Sliding my fingers up to his hair, I trail the tips of them along his scalp. It pulls a low groan from his lips as he pulls back, his eyes hooded as he gazes down at me. Placing a hand on each side of my face, he hovers over me, staring down at me like I’m his entire world.

“I love you, Kiarra. I’ve loved you since the day we met and will love you until I take my last breath.”

I reach up and cup his cheek. “I love you too, Rion. Always.”

His smile is soft as he leans down to kiss my lips, brushing his tongue along the seam before melting into me.

Our heated bodies grow more urgent as his kisses turn hot and hungry, moving down my neck and across my chest. I arch into his mouth as his lips close around my nipple, sucking and nipping it until I’m gasping for more.

“Rion…”

His lips trail down my stomach to my core. The first swipe of his tongue and my mind turns to mush, my body heating, at each teasing swipe.

He groans once more and the vibration from it shoots up through me making me gasp. I moan gripping his hair tighter as his tongue drags along my slick folds, each stroke bringing me closer and closer to coming apart.

“Rion...” My fingers dig into his hair and along his scalp as he keeps his punishing pace, pushing me to the brink of pleasure.

“Rion, you said we need to be quick. I want to feel you inside me…please.” But he doesn’t listen. Instead, his tongue changes, growing, thickening as it thrusts into me.

Fuck. My eyes roll back as his tongue, now the length and girth of a cock, thrusts into me over and over.

I’m panting, gasping and so close to coming when he moans and the vibration shoots up through me, pushing me over the edge.
