A cry of total, mindless desire escaped her, her thighs parting to accommodate his demands. This wasn’t like he’d been in the interrogation room. He wasn’t coaxing her. He was justtaking.
He groaned when he felt how wet she was for him. “See? You know you belong to just me.” He relaxed the tiniest bit, feeling more confident in his claim. Big mistake. “You know that all this is mine. You’re so ready for me, you’re going to come on the first stroke.”
Esmeralda finished regrouping.
She pushed him, using his distraction and overconfidence to her advantage. Magic gave her a boost of extra strength and she heaved him off of her and scrambled to her feet, just to see what would happen. Just because driving Trevelyan to the edge was fun and she liked…
She hit the rug, again.
Her freedom had lasted approximately half-a-second, and then Trevelyan had her. He cushioned her fall so nothing was bruised, but the dragon within him was seething at her defiance. “We’ll do it the hard way.” Trevelyan flipped her over. Now, she was on her stomach and he was behind her. On top of her.
Uh-oh.
Instinct had her squiggling forward, but he dragged her towards his body. One hand found the back of her neck, holding her in place like any predatory creature subduing its mate. Oh shit… Sheseriouslyliked that. She’d had no idea she’d like that. Who the hell could have guessed she’d like that?
Trevelyan, apparently.
“I told you not to run from me.” His voice was so dark that it was causing spasms in her womb. “No matter how much magic you use, I will track you down. You will never be out of my sight for long.”
Esmeralda stilled, swallowing hard, her forehead resting on the carpet.
“Mine.” His free hand touched her body with authority, as if he had a right to every inch of it. In this position she had very little control and he knew it. Hewantedit. This wasn’t only about sex to him. This was conquest. “You’re just mine, aren’t you?”
The whole chase had turned her on more than anything ever had. And, for some perverse reason, his dominance was now pushing her over the edge.
There was a rumble of dragon-y possession. His fingers were reverent as they brushed over the skin of her inner thigh. “Give me what I want and I’ll give you what you want, Mate.”
“What do you want?”
“Everything.”
Esmeralda would explode if he didn’t take her soon, but she certainly wasn’t making itthateasy for him. “I’ve never had sex in this position.” And she’d seemingly been missing out,because she’d never been so aroused in her life. “Why don’t we go upstairs and do this in a…”
Trevelyan cut her off. “You’re going to have sex with me in every way possible and some I’m going to invent.” His free hand lifted her body and adjusted it to his liking. Now, she was on her elbows and knees, totally open to him. “Be a Good girl and submit.”
“Nope.”
That earned her a dark chuckle. “I like this game.”
God, so did she. Esmeralda gave a slight tug against his hold, to see how tight he was gripping her and she couldn’t move, at all. Trevelyan wasnotletting her go. It reassured her. Made her feel wanted. Her hips rocked back, seeking more. “I really am going to come fast.” She got out breathlessly.
“Not until you beg me to make you mine.” He nudged against her swollen flesh and made her see stars. “And maybe call me ‘sir’ a few times. You started this, so you don’t get to come until you show some repentance.”
He thought she was going to resist that order, until he tortured her into a screaming frenzy and finally won her acquiescence. Trevelyan had no idea who he was dealing with. Only one of them was claiming victory and it sure wasn’t the dragon.
Esmeralda turned to look at him over her shoulder, her eyes filled with mischief and desire. “Please, sir.” She whispered sweetly. “Make me yours.”
Thatwon the game.
Of course it did. The man was a deadly villain, but he was also putty in her perfectly manicured hands. Trevelyan’s jawsagged in shock, when he heard her playing-along. It was like he wasn’t even sure how to process it. And, for just a flicker, she saw the dragon inside of him peering out of his eyes. Totally,totallyenthralled with her.
Sucker.
Esmeralda’s grin got bigger. She had the feeling some of her lamentable virtue shone out, because Trevelyan gave a choked sound of hypnotized wonder.
And Esmeralda vanished.
Well, notreally. She didn’t disappear entirely. She just shrank herself down to three inches high. Simple to do, when magic controlled your body. One second she was witch-sized and caught in Trevelyan’s grasp. Then, she was tiny and he promptly lost his grip on her. Then, she was witch-sized again, rolling onto her back to laugh up at him. “Gotcha.
