When we finally part for air, her eyes meet mine with something akin to understanding. We stand there, chests heaving in unison, not needing words to express what's happening.

“Take your clothes off,” I demand. My need for her overwhelms everything else.

Her smile turns sly, and she reaches up to untangle her fingers in my hair. "Impatient, are we?" she teases, but the laughter in her eyes dies out as she stares at me intently. "I want this, Kavian," she says seriously, almost as if to reassure me.

I smile back at her, letting my hands slide down over the contour of her waist, feeling the fabric of her dress rustle beneath my touch. "I know," I answer, my heart throbbing against my ribs. I've wanted this for a long time too—this closeness, this intimacy that only she can provide. And tonight, it seems like the stars have finally aligned in our favor.

With a determined nod, Meera steps away from me and starts to unbutton her dress. It falls onto the floor with a soft whispery sound, revealing her slender figure. The sight takes my breath away—Meera has never looked more beautiful.

Taking a step towards her, I pull her close again, skin against skin now. The window in the room gives little light as we stumble towards the desk which I clean off with a sweep of my arm in blind urgency, our clothes leaving a trail on the floor along the way.

I pick her up and spread her legs, delving between them with my tongue. Her gasp of surprise turns into a low moan as waves of pleasure ripple through her. My hands roam all over her body, exploring every dip and curve, as I savor the sweet taste of her. She writhes beneath me, her fingers tangled in my hair, urging me on.

I lift my head to meet her gaze and the intensity in her eyes nearly undoes me. "Kavian," she breathes out my name like a prayer and it sends shivers down my spine.

“Cum for me, Meera.” My order is absolute. I want her to explode on my tongue.

With a sharp intake of breath, her body tenses beneath me. "Kavian," she gasps again, this time it's laced with an exhilarating mix of pleasure and surrender. I feel her body quiver on the edge of that peak, and then with a soft cry, she climaxes. Her hips arch off the desk as waves of pleasure course through her, and I hold her through it, drawing out every last shiver from her.

I pull away from her slowly, my gaze never leaving hers, my chest heaving in sync with the erratic rhythm of our hearts. The fiery passion in her eyes has now been replaced with a warm tender glow that makes me yearn for more.

"Your turn," she whispers breathlessly and brings me down for a searing kiss. Her hands wander over my chest, her touch sending spirals of electricity coursing through my veins. With nimble fingers, she pulls down my pants while I shrug off the remainder of my clothing, letting them fall to the floor.

I watch as she drinks in the sight of me, raw and bare before her. Her lips part in a silent gasp at the sight and I can't help but smirk at the effect I have on her. She reaches out to touch me once again and I groan at the contact, my body responding with fervent need.

Keeping our gazes locked together, she pushes me to sit on the edge of the desk before straddling me. A moan escapes my lips as she takes me inside her, bit by bit until I'm fully seated within her warmth.

We move together then, slow at first but gradually gaining momentum. The room is filled with the sounds of our mingled breaths and whispered endearments as we lose ourselves in each other.

I thrust roughly inside of her, eager to hear her cry out my name again in beautiful surrender. A bead of sweat trickles down my temple as I feel the familiar coiling sensation unfurling within me, signaling the imminent climax that's threatening to swallow us both whole.

"Kavian," she gasps, her voice shaky and raw. I can see the desperation etched onto her face, a mirror reflection of my own mounting urgency.

"Hold on Meera, just a little longer," I manage to grunt out, hoping she hears the plea laced in my words. Her legs locked around me tighten their grip, her body grinding against mine in sweet desperation.

Her moans and cries grow louder, echoing in the silence of the room as she edges closer to the precipice. I can feel her body tensing up, the arch of her back becoming more pronounced, and I know she's close—so close. With a final, deep thrust I send her over the edge.

"Kavian!" she screams, a beautiful symphony in the air as she succumbs to her climax. Her whole body shudders around me, convulsing in waves of pleasure that echo through my own body with an intensity that robs me of breath.

With a guttural groan ripped out of my chest, I join her in ecstasy. The world fades away as warmth blossoms within me, radiating outward in powerful waves until all that is left is pure bliss. Our bodies convulse together in a sweet harmony before we slowly collapse against one another, spent and sated.

For a long moment, neither of us says anything, lost as we are in the afterglow of our intimacy. Her fingers trace lazy circles on my sweat-slicked chest, and I find myself moving a loose lock of hair behind her ear. Her eyes find mine and we share a look that goes beyond words—a shared secret that only lovers would understand.

MEERA

Anight has come and gone since my encounter with Kavian in his study. I sit in his chair in the early morning, watching the sun rear its glowing head above the red horizon.

My mind continuously replays the previous evening, even my senses remind me of how they felt and what they experienced at the hands of Kavian.

I see his perfect body, remembering how smooth to the touch his skin was, how divine he smelled, smiling at the irony of him being a demon. I can still hear his moans of pleasure as he thrust into me, taking me for his rapture.

“Fuck,” I whisper, feeling a tingle run up my thighs as I imagine him inside me.

My lower body is sensitive today from how he fucked me, but it’s a pain I welcome. I run a finger along my lips, remembering how he had felt on mine, and the taste of his tongue.

The sun rises further into the sky, the sight of which reinvigorates my hope for this mission. Last night was a brief respite from everything going on, but I realize now the task must continue.
