He moaned like I had caressed his cock rather than spoke his name, and I practically preened that I had drawn such a reaction from him. ‘I love the way you say it.’
Silence encompassed us as neither one of us made the move to close the distance, like we’d both decided to freeze time and take a snapshot to last forever in our memories.
He was the one to break first.
‘I’m going to kiss you now, Juniper.’
I let out a barely audible squeak at his declaration, but rose to my tiptoes to close the distance myself. The action shocked him, not expecting me to make the first move, and I took full advantage of his gasp by tangling my tongue with his, desperate for more of his taste.
My hands came up of their own volition (I swear, I had no control over them) to run along the dips and divots of his muscular abdomen. I stroked them higher, pausing at his pecswhere I expected to feel two little nubs, only to come across smooth, unblemished skin.
I pulled away and stared at his chest, curious to find them nipple free.
‘You don’t have any nipples,’ I said, and a laugh burst from his chest, the sound so sexy I felt a gush between my legs.
‘Why would I have nipples, my soul flame? Those are for feeding babies, yes? That is part of a female’s anatomy, and I am no woman,’ he said, grinding his hips into me to prove his point. I inhaled sharply at the feel of him, hot, hard and girthy beneath his pants.
‘Why aren’t you wearing a shirt?’ I blurted, causing him to let out another laugh as I took him aback once again.
‘A tree stole it.’
I snorted a laugh, the sound completely and utterly unattractive in every way possible, but even though I flushed with embarrassment, I lifted my chin and owned it. I dared him to say anything.
Instead of any form of repulsion, however, all I found was tender amusement. And then I brought my brain back to the topic at hand.
‘Right. The trees. Did they really wake up and move around like animals?’ I asked, my curiosity taking hold and leading me towards the rabbit hole.
He scoffed. ‘They did, but I don’t want to talk about trees right now. I want to strip you bare and fill you with my essence.’
My squeak was louder that time, but he did not have to tell me twice, and I stripped out of my clothes in record time. I was all for it. I didn’t know how we’d gotten here so quickly, but I wasn’t going to complain. He could paint me with hisessenceany time, insideandout.
‘Fuck…’ he swore as I bared myself to him. His hand snaked down beneath the waistband of his pants, and I watched withfascination as he gripped his cock and squeezed. When the veins on his forearms popped, I swooned. Fuck me, I swoonedhard.
I nodded vigorously. ‘Yes, please. That’s the idea. Clothes off, Phenex.’
‘Yes, ma’am,’ he agreed, any levity completely gone as he obeyed me. It made me feel powerful that this man, technically a stranger even if I felt like I’d known him over many lifetimes, was letting me command him. I liked that a lot, though the thought of him bossing me around was just as appealing. Maybe we could switch it up. I wondered what a fight for dominance would look like between us. I thought I could take him, even if he was unfairly large.
When he shucked his pants, I was proven incorrect. Large was an understatement. This man was going to split me in two, but I was going to love every second of it. I’d just need to ease into it…
‘Come here,’ he commanded, taking back control with that deep, rumbly voice that made my knees go weak and my brain turn to mush. That was the only explanation for what was happening right now. I wasn’t really a one-night stand kind of girl, and I never put out on the first date. A man had to earn my body, yet Phenex had shown up all purple and sexy and growly, and I couldn’t help myself. I had to have him inside me before I died a slow and painful death by empty pussy.
My core clenched around nothing, the ache inside me building to painful levels.
I obeyed.
But I couldn’t give him all the power just yet.
Throwing the rest of my admittedly minuscule amount of caution to the wind, I dropped to my knees in front of him and eyed his cock, curious to see if there were any major contrasts between Daemon and Human anatomy. There wasn’t much, mostly just the colour, but most of the cocks I’d had in the pasthad turned purple eventually, though that was typically just the head.
My hand wrapped around his shaft, my fingers barely able to touch my thumb, and that was when I saw what made him different. And no, it wasn’t his size, though that was obvious. This was much more intriguing. On every inch of his shaft, there were slightly raised bumps beneath the skin. He was fucking ribbed for her pleasure.
‘What did I do to deserve you?’ I whispered to it reverently.
‘Are you talking to my dick?’ he asked, amusement colouring his tone.
I looked up at him from beneath my lashes and gently trailed my fingertips over those little lumps and smirked. ‘Yes. He deserves some affection, don’t you think?’
He opened his mouth to answer, but I didn’t let him, licking a path from the base to the tip, swirling my tongue around the swollen head, and then I swallowed him down as far as I could take him, opening my throat so I wouldn’t choke on his excessive size.
