BLOOD AND REIGN

BOOK THREE

CHAPTER 1

The sleepy fog clears from my mind as a spike of energy slides down the front of my body, making me gasp. Squeezing my eyes tighter, I arch into the pleasure that slowly slithers down to my core, heating my entire body and making me instantly wet.

Keeping my eyes shut, I lean into the delicious feeling, letting it take over every thought and need.

If this is a dream, let me at least finish.

Fisting the sheets, I pause, sensing someone in the room. A smoky scent seeps around me. It’s followed by a familiar deep, raspy chuckle.

“Axel,” I moan, as another spike of energy shoots through me.

“Yes, princess?” I hear the smile in his voice, the slight taunt that is all Axel.

I slightly open my eyes, a reply on the tip of my tongue. But I don’t get the chance to murmur a word before the fucker expands the energy across my entire body, lighting it up from the inside out and making me whimper in need.

Axel chuckles, his raspy voice full of amusement. “No peeking… keep thinking of me while I make your body bend.”

“Fucker.” I pant, just as the energy turns hot, testing and teasing me as it gets me closer and closer to that edge.

“Admit it. You’re loving every minute of it.”

He was right. I knew it, he knew it, but I’d rather face demons again than admit it out loud.

“If you don’t make me come, I’m going to—” I gasp, opening my eyes as the tangled sheets around my body disappear. My clothes follow next as they all turn to ashes, leaving only a lick of flame behind.

Squeezing my eyes tight, I let the warm sensation wrap around me, holding onto it for as long as I can.

I sense Axel move closer, his heady scent drifting over me, seeping into every inch of my skin. The bed dips in front of me just as his warm breath whispers across my cheek.

“Don’t worry, princess…”

I slowly open my eyes just as he pulls back, his wicked smirk growing. “When I’m done with you, your body won’t just bend for me, it will fucking bow.”

“Not a chance—”

A delicious spike of energy shoots over my body, effectively cutting off what I was about to say.

My brain turns numb as pleasure assaults my body on repeat. Over and over, it travels in waves, reaching peak after peak before spreading outward.

I’m lost in the rising sensation when it all becomes too much.

One minute I’m slowly climbing to reach that edge, ready to fall over it when suddenly I plummet headfirst, diving straight into a tidal wave of pleasure.

I scream as I come apart. My body arches, greedily holding on to every sliver of Axel’s energy as it continues to prolong the orgasm. It comes in slow, drugging waves until it pulls back and eases, the tips of my fingers and toes still tingling from the aftermath.

I’m still panting, trying to catch my breath, when I’m finally able to fully open my eyes.

I find Axel staring down at me, wearing a wicked smirk. The smug fuck knows exactly what he just did to me.

He fuckingdestroyedme. In the best way.

And all without even touching me.

Axel’s eyes slowly trail down my bare body, now slick with sweat. His eyes turn darker the further they move down it.
