No matter what the consequences, she had to join with him and end this ceaseless yearning that started when they firstmet.
Ariel pressed her mouth againsthis. His lips were firm and warm and he made a startled sound, then gathered her against him. Justin herded her backward toward the bed. They tumbled onto it, still kissing. Stubble abraded her soft skin as he drank in hermouth.
His mouth slid over her skin, trailing fire. Lips kissed the curve of one breast, then settled on her hardened nipple. Justin suckled her gently, flicking histongue over the crested peak. Ariel arched, holding his head to her as he teased her with histongue.
He released her nipple with a slow popping sound. Justin raised his head andsmiled.
Then he began kissing her again. Ariel made a protesting sound. “I need to touch you,” she said, grasping hisshoulders.
“Later,” he murmured. “I need to tasteyou.”
Kiss after kisshe placed over her skin, licking her belly button, working his way downward. He was marking her body with his mouth. Placing his scent all over her, so every male, dragon or not, would know she was his. This wasn’t simply sex, but aclaiming.
Ariel smiled. When she had a chance, she would mark him as well, letting every female know he washers.
He kissed her slowly, thoroughly. Shemade little moaning sounds as she twisted and writhed beneath him. Her arms snaked up, slid about his neck, pulling himcloser.
“I’ve wanted you for so long, sweetheart. How could you think no male would ever want you? You’re so fuckingbeautiful.”
Rough words, delivered in a low, sexy voice filled with sheer tenderness. She could listen all night to his deep voice telling her howmuch she turned him on, how beautiful shewas.
Self-conscious suddenly, she flexed her prosthesis. “I’m not a complete woman. I’mcrippled.”
Fierce light glinted in his eyes. Justin levered himself off her, and balancing his weight on his elbows, framed her face with his hands. “You are all woman, Ariel. Do you think I came back here simply because of what your father did to me?I came back here because of you. Every part of you is beautiful tome.”
Wonder coursed through her. She stared into his solemn gaze as he added, “If it makes you feel more comfortable with that prosthesis off, take itoff.”
Ariel considered. She sat up and removed the prosthesis with his help, and then settled back onto the mattress again, holding out her arms toJustin.
This was more than mere sexual attraction, but a bonding of two spirits. The part of her that longed to finally give in, give them both what they craved, gave a tiny sigh. Andsurrendered.
His mouth feathered over her skin inch by slow inch. His firm, warm lips showered hot pleasure as he wrapped his arms about her and kissed his way down herbody.
Justin ran a hand along the curveof her hip, skimmed across the flat of her belly and delved between her thighs. With consummate skill, he stroked her cleft. Ariel undulated her hips in silent need as he thrust a finger inside her. Her flesh clenched around him as he gently stroked, culling the moisture needed to make her ready for hisentry.
“Ah, you’re so damn tight,” hemuttered.
He withdrew his finger, kissedher belly button. Licked his way down toward the juncture of her legs. Moisture pooled there. Gasping, Ariel raised her head as he parted her thighs and settledthere.
Then he bent his head, and licked her. Moaning, she stiffened as his hands settled on her legs and kept them spreadwide.
His mouth settled on her moist center. Sharp, delicious heat curled through her as he slid histongue over her cleft. Ariel whimpered as he kissed and tasted her. Need arrowed through her. Need of him, inside her, his thick cock sliding into her at last. Need to couple with him and join together at last, like two missing pieces finally madewhole.
The heat built and her body tensed until she shattered, orgasm spilling through her in an explosivecry.
“Justin,” she screamed,and then laughed with the sheer pleasure of themoment.
He slowed and kissed her, staying with her then raised his head. Justin wiped his mouth with the back of hishand.
“You’re readynow.”
“No, I’m not. Myturn.”
She sat up, and with a strength that surprised her, pushed him backward. Amusement flared on his face as Ariel began exploring his body with heated arousal.She kissed a lean hip, ran a hand over his taut belly and delighted in the muscles flexing beneath her touch. Ariel nuzzled his collarbone then traced a line over his broad shoulder with her mouth. She licked velvet flesh over hard muscle and sinew, tasting the slight salt of his skin. Awe spilled through her at the vast differences between male and female. His was a warrior’s body, built likea wrestler and thick with muscle, while her body was softer andpliant.
“Turn over,” she ordered, barely recognizing her voice for the thickness lacingit.
“As youwish.”
