Chapter 12

Marrok crawled back up Evelyn’s body, watching her intently. His engorged shaft was painfully throbbing against his trousers, out of room like he was out of patience.

Just as he thought it best to try to wake himself to take care if it, his mate’s smoky eyes caught him in their trap. Her hand cupped the back of his neck and drew him into a kiss.

It was so tempting—too tempting—to have her under him like this. He jerked in surprise when he felt her grab his shirt at his sides and started pulling it up.

“I want to see you. Take it off.”

“Evelyn.”

“Don’t fight me,” she told him forcefully, pushing him back with his hands.

How could he refuse his mate? Kneeling in front of her, Marrok unbuttoned his shirt and slid it off. He didn’t dare remove his pants.

Evelyn moved to her knees, mirroring his pose. She licked her lips, bringing her hands to his pectorals, surprised he had no chest hair. She journeyed down his arms, over the curves and dips of his muscles, then came back to his chest.

His nipples were much darker than hers, a dusky brown, several shades darker than his tanned skin. She wondered if they were sensitive like hers.

“I want to try something,” she said.

His mouth felt dry when he replied, “Go ahead.”

Evelyn leaned in and kissed the bronze skin on his chest. She allowed her tongue to peek out and circle his nipple. Imitating his earlier actions, she secured her mouth around it and sucked, having learned she liked it when he did the same.

Marrok grunted and she sucked harder. His hands fisted in her dark red locks, tilting her so he could take her mouth again. Her kiss alone was almost enough to do him in. He jerked her head with another tug, searching her eyes. One iris glowing, like his were sure to be.

“I wasn’t done exploring,” she complained.

“I’m not sure I can take much more, Evelyn.”

“You don’t want me to explore?”

“I don’t want you to start something I’m not sure you can finish, not when I’m this close.”

She wants us, his demon hissed.Let her have us.

“Something I can’t finish?”

“I’m a razor’s edge from release, Evelyn. I don’t want to engage in something you’re not ready for, so I need to wake myself and take care of it.”

Evelyn’s stare landed on the bulge at his crotch. Her mouth twisted, thinking. He was obviously turned on. She wanted to make him feel as good as he’d made her feel.

“You believe I’m not prepared to … repay in kind?”

“I have no expectation for you to do anything you’re not ready to do, Evelyn.” His fingers brushed her cheek. “We can go as slow as you need.”

Evelyn’s heart thumped hard. Her big, dark, warrior was giving her time, time he felt she needed.

“So, by going as slow as I need, can we go also go as fast as I need?”

Marrok’s brow slanted. “As fast as you need?”

“Yes. I believe I told you I wasn’t done exploring. I would like to continue. That’s what I need from you right now.”

“Evelyn, I love you touching me, but—”

“No, Marrok. Do you think I don’t crave you just as much? I want totouchyou, Marrok. To give you as much pleasure as you’ve given me. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
