Page 75 of Seduce Me in Shadow

“Feel me,” he entreats with a growl.

How can I not? This is madness.

Bliss soars in seconds under his unrelenting demand. I thrust against him, feeling passion catch fire in my blood. In response, Caden wraps one arm around me, grabbing my backside and canting my hips up to his even more. And with his next thrust, I scream.

“That’s it,” he growls in my ear. “So tight, so perfect.” Then he picks up the pace, going from frenzied to frantic. Thebam, bam, bamof the headboard against the wall fills my ears like a chant. “Damn it, it’s near.”

Orgasm? Yes!

Ecstasy begins to overtake me. The burning ache brewing deep in my womb races in a hot flood to my clit. It builds—biggerthan anything I’ve experienced. I claw at him, bite into his hard shoulder, feel my pussy tighten on his swelling cock.

That only ramps up the friction and sends me closer to the edge.

The bed shakes, as does my body. Every nerve ending topples on the edge of a huge precipice. Suddenly, I’m holding my breath, anticipating, needing and desperate. I lose my breath, the edges of my vision go dark.

Then climax hits me, flattening me in a burst of ecstasy and emotion, red-hot pleasure piercing my entire body. As a buzzing winds through my head and my vision tilts, a starburst of feeling inside me explodes. I rain kisses across Caden’s shoulder, his neck. And I know that, even if he leaves me, I’ll always belong to him.

The thought slams my beleaguered brain as Caden wraps both arms around me like I’m his life jacket in a storm-tossed sea. His grunts thunder into a shout of completion that makes my ears ring as he pounds into me savagely, one breath-stealing thrust after the other. As he does, I feel the heat of his release inside me.

His shouts turn to sobs, and his body shudders as he rolls onto his side, taking me with him, arching his back and still fucking me as if his life depends on it. I grab him tighter, giving him all my strength as his face wrenches with agony.

“Oh, god! No. No! Oh, my—” Then he screams something low, shudder-inducing, and utterly agonizing.

When I realize why, I follow suit at the top of my lungs.

Thirty-Four

Caden

“Bloody fucking hell!” Sydney screeches as she leaps from the bed, clutching the sheet against her bare breasts.

Her voice lures me back from the blackness and fog. My thoughts swim through exhaustion and confusion. Why the blazes is she screaming?

“What in God’s name is going on? Do you have a kinky twin fantasy?” she demands.

What in the sodding hell is she on about? “No.”

Her gaze bounces between me and some point just over my shoulder. Nothing makes sense. Her words rattle around in my head, but figuring them out isn’t nearly as appealing as a twelve-hour nap.

“You expect me to believe that?” she demands. “When didheget here?”

“Who?”

“Him!” She points behind me with a furious scowl.

A sinking feeling cuts into my mellow haze as I glance over my shoulder. On the far side of the bed sits another man. Another me, in fact. It’s like looking in a bloody mirror. Except when I move, my mirror image merely shrugs.

A corporeal clone. I produced a motherfucking clone? That’s my special power?

Welcome to magickind.

“Fuck!”

Well, at least I know why I felt as if I was being torn in half. Creating another self out of thin air will do that.

“Is this how you managed to shag me senseless? Did you two take turns popping in and out of my bedroom, snickering at me behind my back and high-fiving each other as you passed in the hall?”
