Page 86 of All the Chaos of Constellations
“Yes.” Her breathing was already labored, and he glanced down, admiring the quick rise and fall of her breasts with each inhale. Her silvery, glittering eyes found his. “You, Asher. I need you.”
He shifted, the faerie pool making it far more difficult to drop his pants than necessary. The warmth of the hot springs assaulted him, stealing his breath.
Asher realigned himself at her entrance, his hands gripping her thighs, spreading her wide for him. He was about to sink into her when she plunged her hands beneath the surface of the water. Her warm fingers wrapped securely around his shaft, and he expanded in her grip, her soft touch not nearly enough to encircle him completely. With delicate movements, she started to work him, fluid and effortless. The silky glide of the water and her featherlight caress would be his undoing.
His jaw locked and he ground his teeth together. “Fuck, Nova. That’s enough.”
“Why?” she purred, pressing dainty kisses along his neck. “Don’t you like it?”
“I said,enough.” He grabbed her wrists, hauling her arms up over her head. With one hand, he held her hands down, pressing them into the mossy stone behind her. “Tell me what you want.”
Her eyes widened, damp lashes fluttering. A pretty stain of pink colored her cheeks. “What?”
He repeated the words. “Tell me what you want, Novalise.”
Hesitation flickered across her face. He could easily slide into her mind and read her thoughts, then he would know exactly what she wanted him to do to her. But it would be so much more enjoyable to hear her say the words.
She bit her bottom lip, and his cock swelled again. “I already did.”
“No.” His smile was slow. Intentional. “You told me what youneeded. They are not the same thing. Now, tell me, or I’m going to do what I want and make no mistake, I will not hold back.”
Shadows cast by clouds drifting across the moon blanketed them both, but even in the faint light, there was no mistaking the slight curve to her lips. “Will I like it?”
“Let’s find out.”
Asher didn’t give her a chance to respond.
Primed and ready, he drove himself into her slick folds, stretching her. Filling her.
Her head fell back against the stone and a strangled cry slipped from between her lips.
“Do you know what I want?” he asked, thrusting upward, burying himself inside her. He withdrew with agonizing slowness, then pushed in deeper, reaching the pinnacle of her desire. “I want to fuck you until you become the stars.”
Each time he pulled out, she whimpered. Each time he filled her, she moaned.
His muscles trembled, spasmed, but gods, she was worth it. She would always be worth it.
“I want to mark you,” he growled. “To make you mine.”
Asher lowered his head, sucking the ample flesh of her breast into his mouth. Then he bit her, not too hard, but enough so that initial wince of pain sent her reeling. Novalise’s body jerked, the walls of her cunt clamping around him, squeezing.
“Asher!” She thrashed, trying to break free from his grasp, but he kept his grip around her wrists firm, denying her.
She was close, but he wasn’t going to let her come. Not yet.
Gently, he swiped his tongue across the reddened, sensitive skin, then slid his free hand between them, shoving the soaking fabric of her dress out of the way. His fingers skimmed her thigh, inching higher, teasing her. Until he reached the bundle of nerves begging for his touch.
He kissed her softly on the mouth, moving in and out of her in long, languid strokes.
Then he whispered, “Sparkle for me, Starlight.”
Her eyes flashed. “Yes.”
Asher waited one beat. Then another. And when her bottom lip trembled, he speared her hard and fast. Over and over, he surged into her, ensuring she took every solid inch of him. His thumb teased her clit, driving her closer to release. Her back arched against the stone, and her thighs fastened around his waist in a silent plea for more.
“Ash, please,” she begged, unraveling.
“Anything for you. Anything.” He let go of her wrists, then snared them both again, one with each hand, restraining her on the stone. Stepping closer, he pumped into her with more force, delving deep inside of her, filling her to the hilt. She clenched, squeezing his cock, sending bolts of pleasure ricocheting through him.
