I pulled at his clothes. I wanted to touch him, to feel his skin. Breaking the kiss, I sat up, ripping at my dress, cursing the damned fabric keeping us apart

He reached for my hands, stilling me. “There’s no need to rush. Let me.” The familiar smoky wisps of his shadows crept over his shoulders and glided effortlessly up over my chest and behind me. One by one, the laces of my dress loosened.

Jase pulled his shirt over his head and, without skipping a beat, tilted my chin up, placing delicate kisses along my jaw trailing down my neck, while his gift made quick work of my dress. The shoulders slouched forward, and I slid my arms free, dropping it to my waist, leaving me bare.

Biting his lip, Jase watched intently while his shadows crept up my ribs, circling my breasts. Teasing me with their icy touch, they tugged at my taut nipples. Even though they were an extension of himself, he watched through jealous eyes.

“Fuck, Mic,” he whispered under his breath. “Lift your hips so they can undress you. I want you the way nature intended.”

The heat from his gaze made me feel like sin incarnate. I leaned back on my elbows, lifting off the evergreen branches while the dark fingers slid off the rest of the material. Just like before, they leisurely wandered back up my legs.

“Surrender to them. Let them explore your perfection,” Jase said with hunger in his eyes. “I want to watch you writhe.”

Closing out the world, I focused on the cold, feather-like touch of the shadows gliding along my skin, sending shivers throughout my entire body. The torturous delight of the unknown had me in its clutches. Tendrils swirled up my legs, down my chest and arms. Every inch of flesh was alive with sensation.

And then, they closed in on my most sensitive parts.

I tried in vain to stay quiet. The last thing I wanted was to alert someone to our presence. But the feeling overpowered my sensibilities. A desperate moan escaped my lips as his shadows simultaneously tugged at my nipples and probed my throbbing wetness.

“Such beautiful sounds you make for us. Don’t force me to silence you.”

“Jase,” I panted. “I can’t. I—”Another cry slid from my lips as his wisps circled my swollen clit.

Darkness immediately climbed the column of my throat, invading my mouth. Panic washed over me as a strange smoky weight restricted my tongue, muffling my cries.

“That’s my good girl. Breathe.” I looked at Jase for reassurance and found him fisting his massive cock, the tip glistening with a bead of excitement. He was panting just as hard as I was. Enjoying the show his gift was offering up.

A cold fullness filled my opening, stretching me to the edge of gentle pain, forcing another muffled cry from my lips.

Jase climbed over me, settling in between my legs, pushing back my thighs, and spreading me wide. His tongue replaced the smoky fingers circling my clit. “Mmm.” His sighs of content vibrated my sensitive nub, and my legs quivered. I couldn’t hold on any longer. I lost control, every muscle in my body contracted as pleasure erupted from my core, throwing me into frenzied bliss.

I tried to call out his name, but the darkness still held my mouth hostage. My legs clamped around his head, my hips grinding out my orgasm on his masterful tongue.

“Your taste is bewitching.” He looked at me as though I was prey, licking his lips and savoring the remnants of my release. It was clear he wasn’t done toying with me. “I think it’s best we leave you silenced.”

The shadows bound my wrists, lifting them over my head, and twisting so that my body was forced to roll over. Lifting my hips, Jase exposed my sex to the cool air of the den.

“You have the most exquisite ass,” he said, gripping my cheeks tightly and spreading them. “Tell me, have my brothers claimed this part of you yet?”

I shook my head no, and a wave of fear washed over me.

“No?” He questioned. “We’ll have to go easy then.”

My muscles clenched when he circled a finger over the uncharted area. Much to my surprise, the sensation brought forth a flood of wetness. A shameless moan escaped my muffled lips, delighting Jase, and emboldening him to explore some more.

“Breathe,” he reminded me. “Relax”

I forced myself to take a deep breath and exhaled out my fear.

“Good girl,” he purred. His praise stoked the fire burning in my core, and my compliance was handsomely rewarded. His cock was at my entrance, pressing against my slippery wetness, invading me inch by delectable inch until he was fully seatedinside my core. And then his thumb, slick with my desire, was again circling at my back door. “Breathe, baby girl,” he ordered again. But this time on my exhale, his shadows released my mouth as he pushed his thumb inside, driving my pleasure to new heights.

I tried in vain to keep my voice down, but the sensations were too strong. Once he started moving, it was hopeless. Animalistic groans fell from my lips as the tension inside me grew like a coiled snake ready to strike.

“Fuck, Mic,” he growled, his pace quickening. “Your pretty little pussy takes me so well.”

“Jase,” I panted, “I can’t…I’m going to cum,” I warned as my insides clenched around his length.

“It’s okay, baby. Cum for me. Cum on my hard cock.” He wrapped his arm around my hips, stroking my clit till I hit the crescendo. My toes curled, body arching against him, and I fell off the edge into a sea of ecstasy.
