Page 105 of A Trial of the Heart

“What is it?” he asked as I stilled.

“I can’t believe I didn’t know,” I spoke softly. “When you tattooed this on your skin, I should’ve guessed it was more than just highlighting a scar.” His eyes softened at my remark, but he didn’t move to take me just yet.

My hands moved along the bumps and bulges of his rigid abdomen muscles, leading to the cut-in lines of his hips. He adjusted one leg, moving off the edge of the bed while another remained bent on the mattress. I reached for the fastening of his pants, unleashing the tension that held them up along his hips.

I bit my bottom lip in anticipation, watching him like a predator ready to strike as he stepped back to strip them away. His hard erection sprang outward, coming to life in front of me, causing my mouth to water with the desperate need to taste him again.

I eased forward, eagerly taking the base of his shaft in my hand while sucking on the tip with myswollen lips. His moan encouraged me, urging me to take him deeper into my throat and swallow him whole, just like I had the night before the first trial. Slowly, I sucked, teasing him by remaining on the head of his magnificent cock before quickly swallowing his length until it collided with the back of my throat. I gradually backed out, returning a moment later. His girth choking me in the best way possible.

My arousal was beginning to build. My apex ached for his attention, but I hadn’t had my fill of him just yet.

Daxton fisted my hair as his hips thrust forward, his shaft disappearing in my mouth, making it impossible to breathe let alone think about anything besides the taste of his delicious cock.

“Fuck… yes,” he growled. “Take all of me, Spitfire.” Daxton cursed as he released his grip, allowing me the chance to breathe. The slight twinge of pain and sliver of danger heightened the intensity of pleasure. Once I caught my breath, I dove back down his shaft, fondling his balls with my free hand while the other wrapped around the base.

“Yes, Gods. That feels so fucking good.”

He tensed, his balls contracting in my hand as I worked him with my mouth. Gods above, having control over him like this was invigorating. This huge powerful male was completely at my mercy, and I fucking loved every second of it.

Suddenly, Daxton pulled himself back. His cock popped out of my mouth as he reached down to grab my shoulders and push me backward onto the bed.

“Sorry, mymate.” His predatory growl sent trickles of lightning up my spine, the wetness between my legs pooling in response to him calling me “mate.” “But I believe I have a promise to live up to.”

Hooking his fingers into the waistband of my pants, he managed to grasp my soaked underwear as well, pulling them free and adding them to the pile of discarded clothing on the floor.

“And I believe I may have misspoken before.” The hunger in his eyes glowed as he looked me over. “Having you in nothing but my shirt is a fucking masterpiece. Anytime you want me to shut up and kneel before you like the queen you are, all you have to do is walk into a room with nothing on you but this, and I’m at your mercy.”

“Noted,” I answered, my chest heavily rising and falling with heated anticipation as I removed the tunic.

“But naked,” Daxton rasped. “You naked is—Fuck. It’s indescribable.” His cock pulsed in response as his eyes devoured me.

Rough hands splayed over my thighs, spreading them as Daxton lowered himself onto his knees at the edge of the bed. His calloused palms rubbed against the smooth skin on my ass, admiring every inch of my body. His touch migrated across my feminine curves before gripping my hips and pulling me down toward him.

“Ineedto taste you, Skylar.” I bit my lower lip as his intense stare bore into me. Gods above. I was already dripping wet, and he had barely even touched me yet. “I love it when I can smell your arousal, especially when I know I’m the one causing it.”

“You’realwaysthe cause of it,” I said with a raspy voice paired with a playful wink.

“Good,” he answered as he lowered his lips, hovering just over my sex. “No one else will ever be allowed to taste or touch you like this. Not while I’m still breathing.” He flicked his tongue over the bundle of nerves at my apex, then applied the perfect amount ofpressure with his lips, sending me soaring through the stars.

“Daxton!” I moaned, almost shattering.

“Yes?” he sinfully whispered against me. “Say my name again,” he commanded as he feverishly sucked the sensitive point between the apex of my throbbing center. His tongue vibrated against me, sending waves of intense pleasure rocketing through my core.

“Gods above… Fuck! Yes, Daxton, don’t … don’t stop.”

Daxton raised his head slightly, before he slowly licked downward toward my opening. He was eating me like a decadent dessert, and I loved every second. Pressure built between my thighs, everything tightening. I was craving a release, yet still drowning in the pure ecstasy of his mouth.

I reached for my breast, but before I could touch myself, Daxton’s hand was already there. “Allow me,” he said before burying himself back between my thighs.

My hard nipple rolled between his fingers as he licked my throbbing center. I almost blacked out from the waves of ecstasy he was giving me with just his mouth alone. My hips bucked and rolled, grinding into his mouth, chasing an orgasm that was building higher and higher on the verge of splitting me apart. And when I thought I couldn’t take anymore, Daxton gave me just what I needed to push me over the edge. With his mouth still on me, he slipped one finger and then two inside my dripping-wet entrance, sensing exactly what I wanted. What Ineeded. The sensation of him lit my world on fire.

“Oh, Daxton!” I screamed as my climax tore through me.

I groaned as he remained between my thighs, my inner walls contracting around his digits with each waveof my orgasm. His continued attention elongated the pleasure, making it last longer than I thought possible.

“Dax,” I whimpered, head still foggy.

“Keep riding it,” he rasped, only releasing his kiss on me for the briefest second.
