Her entire body flushed. “Take me upstairs.”

Reluctantly, I set her on the ground, both of us breathing hard. She offered her hand and we took the winding staircase together, but we didn’t make it past the entryway before I dropped to my knees at her feet again.

I took my time removing one boot and then the other, glancing up at her as I did. She watched as I curled my fingers into her breeches and slid them down. As much as I wanted an uninhibited taste of her, I didn’t take it, rising to my feet.

“Where are we going?” she asked as I backed her towards the kitchen.

I cut her off with a kiss, picking her up to carry her to her sleeping chamber. She wound her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist, kissing me unabashedly and grinding herself over my rock-hard cock. All the reserve we’d had between us, gone.

I climbed onto her feather mattress with her still wrapped around me. She pulled at my tunic and I lifted my arms, lettingher strip the fabric from my chest. I did the same to hers, leaving her in only undergarments.

“Lace?”

“I had to get you back for that stunt you pulled with just your little towel earlier!” She laughed, but if this was a punishment, she could do it as often as she wanted.

My hands encased her ribcage, thumb seeking out her nipples through the sheer fabric. She writhed in pleasure, arching off the mattress while her legs tightened around me, shamelessly rubbing against my hard-on. She shoved her hands into the back of my leathers, inching them down.

I grabbed her hip, pinning it to the bed. “Not until I’ve had what I want.”

She didn’t stop, not until I moved down between her legs, taking my pants out of her reach. Her heel slid down my back, lifting her hips. I drank in the image. The most beautiful fae I’d ever seen, barely covered by a scrap of fabric.

I growled deep in my chest, wanting to both devour her and bury myself inside her, to never come up for air. But I refused to rush, brushing my thumb over the lace before hooking it under to pull it aside so I could part her with my tongue.

Her arse lifted, grinding her pussy into my mouth. Her honey-sweet flavor met my tongue as I fucked it inside of her. She gasped, melting into the mattress, knees falling wide open, exposing all of her. I circled her clit with my thumb, teasing in and out of her, working her up. I sucked and sucked, knowing I’d never get enough of her.

She grabbed my hair, tightening like a coil ready to snap.

I didn’t let up, swirling my tongue over her core until she broke, writhing with whimpering moans and coming undone before me.

And it just made me hungry for more.

When she finally squirmed away, I kissed my way back up to her breasts, content to feast on her until she would have meagain. Her nails dug into my back while I played, licking and sucking her nipples through the delicate fabric.

“You’re such a tease!” She dragged her nails over my shoulders and down my arms.

“Not as much as you are,” I said against her skin.

“Hardly!”

She reached between us, opening the tie of my leathers. I gave in, finding her mouth as she shoved them off.

I kicked off my pants before sitting back to remove the last scraps she called undergarments. She lay before me unabashed, knees open, on full display. The most beautiful fae in the Twelve Kingdoms.

I had to be inside her. I wouldn’t rest until I buried myself deep where I belonged.

I fell forward, bringing our bodies together for the first time. Skin on skin, magic sparking between us, the interwoven bands making me almost light-headed. “If you don’t want this, tell me now.”

“No.”

“No?” I gasped into her mouth, willing myself to pull away, to heed her wishes, but when I tried, she grabbed me. I searched her face. “Tell me to stop if that’s what you want.”

“You’ve made me ride you the way you wanted, and now I want to ride you the way I’ve been imagining for months.”

Thank the Goddess.

“Months?” I ached.

“Yes.” She hooked her leg over me and flipped us, coming up on top as she perched on her knees over me. “I want to watch.” She glanced down at my cock, perfectly positioned between her thighs, standing straight up from my body.
