I didn’t reply.
Chapter 48
It looked like the air was rippling, distorting. That’s how I knew we’d come to another ward. At least this time I hadn’t had to run into it face first, bouncing off and hurting myself before realizing it was there.
I let out a labored sigh. What would this ward need from me? Would each test continue to be harder, building up to the last?
Hunter placed his hand on the wall, but of course that did nothing. He gave me an absent smile. “Worth a shot, right?”
“Might as well get on with this,” I drawled.
I set both palms flat against the invisible wall, just like before. My hands warmed, and I expected them to blaze hot, but they didn’t. Instead, the warmth spread from my palms up my arms and through my body.
A wave of intense lust almost knocked me over.
I slumped against the wall, panting, my body ready for sex in a way I’d never felt.
Close your eyes, Poppy,Thane whispered.Give into it.
I closed my eyes.
Need.
Unseen hands stroked over my skin.
Want.
Was I naked? I didn’t care if I was.
I felt lips on my neck and sought more, more, more.
I was consumed in a blaze passion.
Hands locked around my wrists and I felt someone at my back.
I pressed against him, demanding and greedy.
Thane—
It’s me, Poppy. I’m here.
He drove into me, causing me to scream.
Relentless, blissful, agony.
I kept my eyes shut as I begged him for it. Begged forhim.
Our skin heated, our bodies slick with sweat.
Mindless, yearning, feral.
He lifted himself off of me and gave me space, just enough to turn around, so I could stare into his dark eyes. His square jaw was clenched, his lips pouty yet firm.
I reached for him and trailed my fingers up and down the contours of his muscled body.
He lifted me before sliding into me, pressing his chest to mine.
My back arched, and I threw my head back, feeling wild and uninhibited.
