He laughed and peeled off the cloth covering his breasts.They bounced free, nipples taut.Next went the loincloth until he stood naked before her.
“Your turn,” he rasped, slipping a finger between her stomach and the loincloth.He tugged, bringing her closer.And damn if her cock didn’t find that fucking hot.“I want Nova.I don’t care what body you’re in.”
She would’ve rolled her eyes at that bit of nonsense if her heart didn’t twang in response.Out of the men she’d met since Seth’s death, Eli tempted her the most.The cool air on her hard-on had her glancing down.How had he managed to unravel the loincloth without her noticing?
Her cock was good and ready, urges driving her to push forward, to sprawl Eli on the bed, to layer her body over his.
“This is madness,” she said as a last attempt to stop the inevitable.
“Tell me about it,” he said, wrapping his arms around her and drawing her in for a kiss.
Chapter Twenty-One
The moon, Lethara
In a locked chamber in Vael’Tir.
Is it Christmas?
Day Four.
Elicouldn’tbelievethiswas finally going to happen.Nova’s reticence wasn’t due to a lack of attraction, not when she sported an impressive erection.But her fighting this…them said much about her state of heart, highlighting that he liked her more than she liked him.
She jerked back.“We’re just taking his word—”
“Yes.”At some point, they had to see where this attraction would lead.Why not now?But she wouldn’t want to hear that from him.“Another night with me isn’t too much to ask for, is it?”
She scowled, stroking his arms looped around her neck.“That was long ago.We’re different people now.”
He didn’t want to talk.Not when they were so close heat poured off her.“Nova,” he whispered, running his lips up her neck.
Her breath hitched.When she shut her eyes on a blissful hum, he slid a hand lower, over a nipple and back, desperate to keep her distracted.Desire thrummed, more intense than he’d experienced.As a man, it hit him hard, roaring commands, dominating his thoughts.For a woman, it was more subtle, addictive, curling around his core, tightening and aching until he yearned to be filled.Such an odd sensation as if he was empty and only Nova could give him a sense of completion.
He shook the thoughts aside, and with a lunge, flipped her onto her back.Before she could protest, he stroked a hand lower, aiming for the sweet spot just below her balls.When a woman touched him there, he’d harden to snapping point.
He hoped to inspire the same reaction in Nova.In passing, he brushed the cock he knew too well.
Her groan sent a tremor through him.“Eli,” she rasped.“Do that again.”
Against her skin, he smothered a smile, shimmying lower to exhale a hot breath over the head of her cock.His now hers, it didn’t matter.Not anymore.Her hips lifted off the furs, a drop of dew forming.
He chuckled and licked her from balls to tip, catching a taste he recognized.She cried out, arching her back, her fingers digging into the bedding.A garbled sound escaped her, bringing him such joy.
It would be too soon, too intense for him to go for the kill and suck her into his mouth, so he crawled over her, feathering kisses where he could reach: from a hip up her waist to a nipple hard with need.
Because he could, he caught her lips with his, sweeping back and forth with the lightest of touches.Each swipe promised a proper kiss he had no intention of delivering.Instead, he nipped at her bottom lip, dipped the tip of his tongue into her warm depths, and repeated until she writhed, her fingers now scraping his shoulders and back.
When he stopped, holding still for their breaths to merge, he met her gaze.Her dark green irises softened with an expression he could only hope was affection.His heart swelled, overflowing with what she invoked, his sassy cat.Inch by inch, he descended, not once breaking eye contact until he pressed his lips to hers.
She tugged him down, her tongue coming in to play.She was hungry for him, just the way he liked it.He met her assault with his own, diving in to relearn and memorize every crevice of her mouth.When he shifted back, feathering a hand lower to cup her balls, she whimpered.
The sound was so fucking delicious.He gave her a gentle squeeze, then a swirling caress over her perineum.
“Oh, Eli, I can’t…” She grabbed his wrist, stopping him.“If you keep that up, I won’t last.I want…needmore.Now.”
“You’re so greedy,” he teased, shaking her hand free to run his palm up and down her cock.
She glared at him.“It’s been a while.”She flopped back, her body shuddering.
