He grinned proudly, sporting chunks of chocolate between his teeth as he held up a bag. “Want some fudge.”

With a laugh, I shook my head and willed the portal back to Castleva.

Chapter Three

The amount of fervor Ember came at me with was both exhilarating and sexy as hell. At the last minute, I grabbed her shoulders, slinging her onto the floor. She pulled her knees to her chest and pushed off the mat, kicking herself back to her feet with ease.

Armed with a dagger in one hand and the other tightened into a fist, she was ready to take on the truest of enemies.

Little did she know, my plans involved us sparring only until I got her naked. It only took being caught once for our friends to know not to come into the training center during our sessions, so I was free to ravage her.

She came at me again, but this time I sidestepped, causing her to tumble to the sparring mat. Before she had a chance to move, I threw myself on top of her, pushing my body against hers.

After restraining her wrists, I pinned them above her head.

Breathing her in, she smelled of her favorite winter shampoo—amber and sandalwood mixed with some sweet vanilla notes. The delicious scent caused me to release a growl that rumbled my chest against hers.

Never one to give up easily, she squirmed beneath me, fighting to get free.

I lowered my head, letting my rapid breaths out into her ear, instantly stilling her body.

“Point,” I whispered, then sucked her earlobe into my mouth causing her to sigh softly.

“If you keep doing that, you shall have all the points you want.”

She raised her knee, rubbing it against my cock, instantly hardening it.

Knowing I had been given the permission to advance, my eager lips made their way onto her neck, the blood in her veins pumping furiously below each kiss. In order to intensify her arousal, I opened my mouth wider and gently brushed her skin with the tip of my fangs, eliciting a moan from her.

With that, her right leg opened, beckoning me inside. I shoved my knee under her other leg, pushing it open before pressing my throbbing cock against her core.

As soon as I released her wrists, she clawed at my shirt, unable to get it off me fast enough. Once free, I unbuckled her corset, splaying the fabric open before sliding my hands up her stomach, lifting her shirt.

The skin on her ivory breast was soft when my callused hand gripped it. I almost forgot about listening to her thoughts when I sucked her pebbled nipple into my mouth.

Was it morally questionable to seduce the person I love to listen to their thoughts?

Quite possibly.

Did she give me full consent long ago to do whatever I wanted while naked?

Absolutely.

A loophole, I presume. One I was taking advantage of.

I released her nipple, making my way lower, kissing every inch of flesh that had barely been graced by the sun, knowing how fortunate I was to get to see it.

Taking the quickest route to my destination, I followed the curve of her stomach, blowing air against her skin between kisses.

When I got to the top of her pants, my hands were quick to untie the fasteners before sliding them down and tossing them aside.

She let her knees drop back open, granting me a full view of her beautiful pussy, which was already glistening with her arousal.

My euphoric gaze traveled to her hooded eyes, the passion behind them as strong as the fire of a thousand dragons.

A single word played in my head . . .

Lucky.
