Page 50 of Scales and Seduction

The forest around the cottage is alive, the air crisp and cool as I run through the trees. Laughter spills from my lips as Gideon’s quickening pace thuds behind me. Each step closer makes my heart race, but not from fear—from the thrill of being caught.

“Catch me if you can!” I call over my shoulder, laughing, seeing my handsome naga mate behind me.

His low growl rumbles through the air, making my pulse flutter. “I will, and when I catch you, I’m going to tear your pretty dress off with my teeth.”

The promise sends a shiver down my spine, but I don’t stop. I dart around a tree, ducking beneath a lower branch. There’s detritus all over the ground, fallen logs and crunching leaves beneath my feet. I can hear nothing but the sound of my thundering footsteps and heartbeat.

“You can’t run forever, pretty morsel…” His voice is low and teasing.

I laugh, pushing myself faster, leaping over a fallen log. “Maybe I don’t want to!”

The forest is alive as if it’s part of our game. The fireflies swirl around me, their golden light warm, while the breezecarries through it pine and earth. I can feel the magic inside me humming wildly as it buzzes through the two of us. It’s part of tonight too; it’s part of our bond. Something that before my magic, I could hardly feel. Now it’s ever-present, and it drives my body wild to be near Gideon. I feed off his energy. I can feel everything he does and more.

A sudden chill runs down my spine as I sense his presence, closer than ever before. The moment he lashes out, my heart hammers against my ribs as his hands close around me, his rough touch sending shivers down my spine, pulling me into his embrace. My feet are off the ground, and I giggle as he spins me around. The world blurs before he pins me to the ground.

Cool earth presses against my back, and his warm scales surround me as his weight pins me in place. My breath is gone as his golden eyes light up with triumph and something sultrier and devious. It makes my body ache in the most delicious way.

“I told you,” he mutters against my throat, “you can’t out run me.”

My chest heaves with exertion, a smirk playing on my lips as I savor his touch. “I wasn’t trying that hard.”

Gideon chuckles, mischievously leaning closer. His breath gusting against the edges of my throat makes my hair stand on end. “Admit it, you wanted this…”

There are no words to describe how much I want him between my legs. The thought of his fangs in my throat, his venom flooding my veins, causes a sharp, agonizing pain to spread through me.

Reaching up to him, I cup the side of his face, pulling him down into a rough, urgent kiss. His soft lips meet mine insistently and passionately, stealing my breath away. His forked tongue dances around mine, and I can taste the flavor of his venom on my tongue. It’s like cloves, spicy and bitter but pleasant as it numbs the places it touches. My body throbs,aching for him as I hook my legs around his torso, pulling him flush to my warm bare skin.

“I wanted it; I want you,” I breathlessly whisper around his lips.

Gideon chuckles, playfully nibbling at my bottom lip. His hands rove over my body, slowly inching along the silk nightgown I’m wearing, and I know what’s coming next. Every touch leaves my skin on fire, and the thrill of him ripping my clothes off makes my pussy burn for him.

His claws hook at the top of the bodice, stretching it wide until I hear the fabric give away. The fabric rips slowly, the shredding noise like music to my ears. The chilly night air nips at my skin, leaving pebbles of gooseflesh along my arms and legs. Gideon’s eyes are boring holes in mine, and a devilish smirk dances across his lips as my breasts and body lay bare to him.

“You’re incredible,” he says, glancing down adoringly at me. His eyes rove over every inch of my skin, forcing heat to rise to my cheeks even though he’s seen me naked a hundred times. I’ll never get over the hungry way he looks at me, as if I’m the most desirable woman he’s ever had the pleasure of knowing.

As if a switch flips, his eyes grow dark and hungry. He grabs hold of both of my wrists, forcing them above my head. “You look so delicious.”

My entire body is on fire as his golden eyes look at me, ready to devour me. “Are you planning to eat me?”

Gideon leans down toward my left breast, flicking the nipple with his tongue. The sensation sends a shock through my body, pooling heat right between my legs. I’m so horny, I can’t stand myself.

“Bite me there...” The thought of his venom coursing through my body, the exquisite pain and pleasure of his bite on my breast would be so fucking good.

“I intend to take my time licking your pretty cunt and filling you with my cum,” he mutters against my skin. “And then I’m going to knot you.”

My mind drifts to the knots at the base of each of his cocks. Fuck it, I don’t care. I want everything he can give me. “Please…”

A low growl emanates from his throat as he takes my nipple into his mouth to suck on it.

“Fuck,” I mewl, grinding my body against his already extruded cocks. I can feel his leaking pre-cum against my thigh.

Gideon gives me no time to brace for the pain; his sucking changes into him clamping his fangs down directly onto my nipple. The venom releases into my bloodstream in a searing explosion of pain. My mouth flies open to scream, but once the venom hits my heart, which takes only seconds, the agony becomes voracious hunger.

I love the way his venom feels inside me. It wakes every nerve, sending everything into a tailspin of arousal. The moment it hits is a rush like nothing else. My pussy throbs, and I moan, arching into him greedily. My vision becomes hazy, seeing everything through a cloud of lust.

Gideon’s fangs retract, along with his lips, in a satisfying pop. The air around it tingles, licking at my skin like thousands of tongues, amping up the arousal I feel. “That’s my good girl. You take it so well now.” His praise alone envelops me in a pink cloud, the sound of his voice the most erotic thing I’ve ever heard.

“Mhm...thank you,” I mewl, but my voice feels oh so far away.
