Though, how she wished things were different.
She tried to focus on something,anything,else. His chest felt unerringly solid as she rested her head against him,noting his grunt of appreciation.
So, the man and the Berserker could createsound... Evelyn blushed a bit, recalling the ecstatic noises he’d made earlier.Burning to know why he was capable butunable to speak, she ultimately decidedagainst questioning.It didn’t matter now, she thought miserably.
Yawning greatly, Evelyn felt a weighty fatiguesettle upon her, as if honey flowed through her veins rather than blood.
“Roderick?” she murmured sleepily, “I-I don’t wishto return to my bed, may I sleep here with you tonight?” Tilting her head upand to the side, she wasn’t surprised to see that his green gaze had returned,though he did seem affronted.
Tightening his arms around her, he rolled them soshe lay down and faced the wall on her side. Settling in behind her, his backto the door, he drew her bottom close against his erection, but didn’t press itinto her.
Resting her head on his curled bicep, she relishedin the feeling of the front of his tremendous body pressed flush against theback of hers. His arm, still tucked beneath her breasts, secured her to him.
The only sound in the softly glowing room was hisbreath stirring the top of her head. Languor stole all reason and Evelyn onlydistantly registered the room plunging into darkness.
Magic. She thought dreamily beforedrifting into velvet oblivion.If only she could break this curse…

Sensation flared beneath her skin and coursed downher spine as the whisper soft rasp of calloused fingers dipped into thedramatic curve of her waist and followed the soft rounded arch of her hip.Curled on her side, Evelyn smiled sleepily, refusing to open her eyes lest thesubtle, unfettered exploration cease. Instead of dropping to the front of her,the caress paused and then retraced its journey back toward her ribcage as ifindulging in the softness of her skin there.
Warm breath caressed her face and a nose nudgedhers before probing lips settled across her mouth in a languid kiss. This hadto be the most pleasant way she’d ever awakened, Evelyn decided, as heat seepedthrough her sluggish veins.
Silvery tinged darkness barely outlined the formof the naked Berserker facing her when she resolved to lift her heavy lids.
As dark as the night, his jet hair and bronzedskin melded with the shadows. Only his eyes gleamed as he pulled his lips fromhers.
“Roderick,” she whispered, feeling shamed andsinful, every nerve ending alive and vibrant.
His great body stiffened, fingers clamping on herhips, digging into the sensitive flesh and pulling her forward, thrusting hishard sex against her thighs.
“I want…”
Without warning, he seized her other hip in aniron grip and lifted her, full bodied, as though she weighed no more than an infant.
She gasped as he rolled onto his back and held herentirely above him, demonstrating his preternatural strength. Before Evelyncompletely registered what he was doing, he balanced her on her kneesencompassing either side of his head, his eerie eyes burning up at her frombetween her legs.
No! He couldn’t mean to—
“Oh… my.” She breathed as the flat of his tonguesplit her apart. Aghast, entranced, Evelyn was thankful for the darkness orshe wouldn’t have been able to bear the depraved act. Arousal flooding herwomanhood, she shuddered when his unrelenting tongue dipped into the resultingwetness, and he swallowed, an appreciative moan vibrating against her clitoris.
Trembling thighs gave out and she belatedlyrealized that his strong hands at her hips not only supported her entireweight, but imprisoned her there.
Another unhurried lick stole her breath. Hecleaved her with his tongue, stopping right before he reached the mostsensitive peak. Circling it, nipping at it with his lips, teasing the moistflesh surrounding it, Roderick tormented her with his mouth, chasing away allreason with searing pleasure.
Evelyn bit back moan after moan, throwing her headback, reveling in the feel of her long hair brushing naked skin. Sheshamelessly surged against his mouth.
“Roderick… please.” Her hands desperately graspedat his. “I need…” She grit her teeth and hissed, kneading his strong arms and wordlesslydemanding release.
Shoulders shaking in a silent male chuckle, eyesglittering with purely masculine delight, he latched onto the engorged peak ofher sex and centered all movement just below it, creating an overwhelmingburning sensation.
A hot ache built beneath it until she squirmed toescape what she knew would be next. Throbbing pleasure engulfed her core aswave after wave of gripping ecstasy flowed from his tongue into her body.Wracked with tremors, Evelyn bucked against the strong hands gripping her hips.Frustration at her inability to move heightened each pulsing sensation of herclimax.
When the last tendril of pleasure wrung from herbody, her berserker still allowed no quarter. Kissing her playfully on hersex, he lifted her from his drenched mouth much the same as he had before, anddeposited her upon his torso, finally letting go to wipe her juices from hislips.
Drunk with pleasure, and feeling rather bold,Evelyn’s hand slyly traced the contours of his lean abdomen behind her untilshe found his pulsating erection twitching against his belly.
Wrapping her fingers around it, she wondered ifher lips would have the same magnificent effect onhisbody.
