I screamed as euphoria seized me in its clutches and shook me down to my very soul. Nox's chest rumbled primitively, his tongue working faster. I came again, my body convulsing.
Light-headed, the world was slow to come back into focus. Nox was staring at me in a way I'd never thought anyone would. I sank into his gaze, my breath catching.
In that moment I saw everything I'd ever hoped for. He wanted me. He needed me. I thought he might even love me.
Shit. Where had that come from?
I was pretty sure I was falling for him but was too afraid to voice the thought. Sensibly, it was too soon. Foolishly, my heart didn't care.
Nox sat back on the cushioned bench behind him. His eyes heavy-lidded with hunger etched across his face.
I shivered, watching as he removed his shirt, then unbuttoned his fly. I couldn't take my eyes off him, could barely breathe.
He slid his pants down, freeing himself. I licked my lips as I saw it, the memory of the pleasure he'd given me making my mouth water.
Crawling forward, I braced my hands on his thighs as the carriage swayed subtly. His thick erection bobbed just inches from my mouth.
I moaned, my channel clenching as I watched his sex move. I wanted it, wanted to give him what he’d given me.
“Put your mouth on me, kitten.”
I opened, lips sliding over his hot flesh. My body came impossibly alive again as I sucked. My tongue licked at the tip, tasting him. He tasted so good, so right.
“Fuck, yes,” he hissed. “Take me deep.”
I stared up, my eyes locked on his face. I could feel my face flush hot as he watched, discovering what he liked by his expressions.
I swirled my tongue around the head, savoring the salty flavor. His fingers tightened in my hair, guiding me. I took him into my mouth again, sucking and licking as I moved up and down.
Soon I was lost in the rhythm, in the sounds he was making. I stroked him with one hand, working my mouth up and down as I took him deeper. I purred, vibrating around his cock, his taste calling to the wild inside me.
Nox tugged my hair again, pulling me back. “Do you want me inside you?”
The words were raw and rough. I closed my eyes, dizzy with desire. “I want you,” I moaned. “So much.”
A satisfied sound vibrated through him. “Come here.”
I rose on shaking legs. He grabbed my waist and pulled me to straddle his lap. He pushed my thighs further apart, then adjusted his cock to press just between my folds.
“Say it again.”
I licked my lips. “I want you.”
“Is this tight little cunny mine?”
“Yes,” I exhaled, growing desperate.
“And are you mine, Aeryn Faulkner of Greenhollow? Every little bit of you?”
The head of his length nudged at my entrance. I tried to lower but Nox held me up, denying me. His fingers dug into the flesh of my hips in warning.
“Yes, damn it. I'm yours. I thought we already—"
In one smooth motion, he pulled me down. I threw my head back, a cry of pleasure escaping as I held onto his shoulders for balance.
“All of you, Aeryn. I already have your body. I want your mind. But I'll demand your heart. I'll accept nothing less,” he vowed, as he tightened his arms around me.
My heart stopped. I stared into his inky eyes. His umbral's amber light flashed and I realized he was waiting.
