One free hand dove between my thighs. The instant it did, Jeryn hummed.
He gazed in rapture, his cock widening in my mouth. Cinched around him, I flexed my tongue repeatedly across his slit and continued rowing my head. Matching that rhythm, I spread my folds and pitched my fingers high, probing with slick motions.
Overwhelmed by the wet friction and the heat of his cock, I curled my toes into the sand. I yanked his ass closer and hauled him deeper, draining him of every noise in existence.
And finally, my teeth nicked his skin. And then he moved.
His spine arched into the cliff, he flung his head back, and another word launched from his chest. With the knife blocking his voice, only pieces of the word came out audibly.
Yet I heard him. And my heart leaped into the ether.
Withdrawing from my pussy, I clutched his backside and sucked him into me. My elated cry rushed across his skin, urging him to say it again.
Jeryn hollered in tempo to my mouth, but the word got lost. And although I wanted him to spill all that pleasure down my throat, I also longed to hear that word, and I yearned for even more. Always so much more.
Jeryn spit out the knife, setting the word loose. “Flare!” he bellowed into the sky.
Puckering my lips, I gave another healthy tug. And another. And another. The villain prince continued to shout as I yanked those violent sounds to the forefront.
And the world went wild. And we went wild alongside it.

Flare
Releasing his cock, I burdened him with another lick and spoke against the crown, “Even your pleasure tastes cruel.”
And he moved again. Ripping his arms from the vines, Jeryn vaulted off the facade, snatched his weapon from the sea, and rammed it into the sheath. Then he grabbed my arms and hoisted me off the ocean floor before I could finish him off.
I moved in sync, stringing my legs around his waist as he crushed me against him, my thighs flanking his cock. The rigid muscles of his body welded me to him, all that skin and sinew flush against my own. His pale complexion flexed in stark contrast to my olive one, a combination lovely to behold. Yet he was darkness, and I was lightness, and we balanced one another.
Despite his bulk, never once had I felt small while encased in his grasp. Whenever this man held me, he made me feel larger than life. And even more than the rainforest, I sensed our fate. We’d been destined for this moment.
You’re the fucking sun.
Yes. That was it.
I’m nothing but ice.
Except I’d grown to like ice.
Jeryn’s arm linked beneath my ass, while the other hand cupped the back of my head, securing me to his frame. Our mouths panted against one another. I splayed my fingers across the bracket of his jaw and rushed my lips over his.
“Let me feel what ice is like.” Tilting my head, I nipped his earlobe. “Smooth.” Then I licked the cleft of his chin. “Solid.” And I quested my mouth down the side of his throat, to where his vocal cords rested. “Sharp.”
The prince shuddered, his fingers digging into my scalp and backside. I dined on his neck, sucking on his pulse until it sped up.
Muttering a primitive sound, Jeryn clamped the sides of my face and jerked my face up to his. Our wet hair tangled, the strands plastering to our profiles. Those eyes froze on me, brilliant and stinging. He could pierce an enemy through with those orbs.
As a fiend, he used to glare for hateful reasons. Now that expression reflected different emotions, a blend of aggression and ardency. Glaring hotly at me, Jeryn’s pupils fattened, threatening to eclipse the crystal of his irises.
He took his turn, assaulting my ear and scraping his teeth over the rim. Blood rushed through my limbs and oozed from my core. Tucking his brutal mouth behind the shell, the prince dabbed his tongue into the crevice, ecstasy pouring through me like black silk.
Smooth.
But not tender. No, the swipe of his tongue was assertive.
Next, he drew my earlobe between those teeth and wrapped his mouth around the slender flesh. With a croon, Jeryn’s lips strapped on and sucked. An influx of shivers plunged down my spine, only these chills were dense.
