And he reacted.

Envy groaned deep in his throat and dragged her closer. His hands found her, clutching at the fabric that covered her waist before he yanked her on top of him. He just did it. No hesitation, no fear, just that he wanted her on him, and so she went.

Lilith knew she could exist in her mind right now. As she threw her leg over his waist and sat on top of him, feeling his breath underneath her body and how he rolled with every single movement, she knew he gave her permission to disappear into them.

And some part of her mind did. Some part of her thought this was a mad decision. She’d always wanted her first time having sex to mean something to both her and the person doing it. She’d built up this romantic idea in her head about what it would be, what they would do, and how it would feel. But in the end, that wasn’t what she actually wanted.

She wanted him. Every part of him. Every shape of him that lingered underneath her hands and every muscle that flexed as she palmed it. She wanted his lips on hers, his breath in her lungs, and the whimpers of movements that brought them even closer together.

She wanted to feel him against her bare skin. It didn’t matter that they’d both had a trying day, or that they were being hunted by countless people. It didn’t even matter that he might not like her the way she loved him. She might just be a toy for him to play with, as a man who had seen so much of the world and sampled every part of a woman that he could. Lilith could just be his newest distraction until he decided to kill her, just like her old master wanted to do.

But if she was going to die, then she was going to die knowing what he tasted like.

His hand slid up her leg, shifting fabric to the side so his hands could linger on her skin. “Little love,” he growled against her lips. “There is much we should talk about before we do this.”

“I’m so tired of responsibility,” she said against his mouth, lingering on the edges of his lips before dragging hers to his jaw, where she could press lingering kisses against the chiseled edge. “I’m tired of doing the right thing. All I want to do right now is to taste you. Touch you. I’m so tired of waiting for the right moment, Envy. Right now is the right moment.”

She could feel him hardening between her legs. That curious bar of heat and velvet that she’d had on her tongue. She wanted to know what it would feel like when he pressed it inside of her. She wanted to know what sex actually was.

And maybe that was immature of her to not want to tell him everything she’d seen in the future. They had so much to figure out, but right now, she was done with thinking and planning.

All she wanted to do was feel.

“You don’t know what you’re asking,” he groaned against her, arching his neck so that she had more access to press kisses down the strong column.

“Yes I do. And I know what I want. So shut up, Envy. Stop talking unless it’s to say all those pretty, dirty words that you’re so good at.”

Lilith had no idea where she’d gotten this confidence. She needed, wanted, and he was the only one who could give it to her.

Heart thundering in her chest, she almost held her breath until it seemed like he exploded into motion. One moment she was on top of him, the next he’d palmed the back of her neck and rolled them. His lips and teeth and tongue kissed her with a ferocity that she’d never experienced. All of a sudden, Envy was everywhere.

He licked at her neck, then bit down on her thundering pulse in a way that made her arch into him. The slightest spike of pain didn’t detract from how much it made everything in her light up with passion.

He growled against the side of her neck and suddenly every hair on her body rose. That. She wanted him to do that again over every part of her form until she didn’t know which way was up or which way was down.

Before she could even react, he’d grabbed the bottom of her dress. Inch by inch, he revealed her form. Slowly, taking his time, using the dress to hide her from his gaze until the very last second.

Then he leaned back on his knees, kneeling atop her, so his gaze could sweep over every inch of revealed flesh.

He’d seen her naked before. But now? It felt like he was seeing her for the very first time.

“Fuck, you’re beautiful,” he said, his voice low with need. “I can’t even tell you what I want to do to you, because it’s so filthy it would make you blush.”

She stared up at him, her eyes wide and shocked. “What do you want to do to me, Envy?”

That growl sent goosebumps dancing along her flesh and her nipples tightening so hard they almost hurt. He stared at them as though he couldn’t rip his gaze away from her, no matter what happened. “I want to fill every hole of yours with me. I want to sink into you with my cock while you ride my finger in your ass and then plug your mouth with my other hand. I want to feel you shaking and clenching so hard that you beg me to stop and then I want to do all of that again and again until you pass out from pleasure.”

“Yes,” she whimpered. “Do that.”

Maybe it was a lot to ask a novice, because he hadn’t yet filled every hole like he’d promised. But he leaned down and capture the tip of her breast in his mouth and that was still mind numbing enough to distract her.

His hands were everywhere. Grabbing, holding, bruising and yet it was still perfect. She wanted to feel him clutching at her breast, jerking her closer so that he could switch that wandering tongue to her other breast, circling the peaks until she felt like they were made of diamonds.

She couldn’t even think. She squirmed in his grasp, trying to touch him, but he pinned her hands down onto the bed with a warning. “If you touch me, this will be over far too quickly, little love. Stay where you are and let me play.”

What if she wanted to touch? What if?—

A low moan escaped her lips as his hand slid between her legs. A long, broad finger smoothed between her slick lower lips and then sank deep inside her. They both groaned with that movement, stilling to look at each other as he shallowly moved his fingers in and out of her.
