“Sometimes,” I continue softly, “I get the feeling being close to me is painful for you. So, if I’m only making it worse, I’ll stop. I’ll give you space. As much as it’ll torture me, I’ll do it.” I swallow. “But I want to be very clear that every moment we’re together I desiremore.I want you in my arms.

Her heart pounds through her back and to my chest. “Tell me what you want,” she whispers in a desperate plea, sending a jolt of desire through my body.
I pull her in tighter, one hand clenching the bare strip of skin at her midriff. The other slides up her inner thigh. I tense beneath her, fire burning through my veins.
Caelynn gasps and wiggles against me.

“Tell me,” she demands breathlessly.
“I want to explore every inch of your body, Caelynn. I want all of you.”
She moans in earnest now, and it’s enough to send me spiraling.
“I want to make you feel good, in every possible way.”Mine. My mate.“Tell me what you want, Caelynn.”
Caelynn
Iwant his hands tonever leave my body.
I want every barrier stripped from between us. These clothes and my scars.
I want to feel his muscles beneath my fingers, tracing every sharp edge, tasting every soft corner.
I want to kiss him.
I want to bed him.
I want him to call my name. To never stop uttering it with that desperate tone.
I want him to drive me into insanity, where all I feel is pleasure. All I feel is him.
I want Prince Reveln of the Luminescent Court to come apart at my touch. I want him to worship me, to bow before me. And for me to return the favor.
I want him to make me forget my fear and guilt and pain.
