Page 73 of Which Witch is Willing?
She grinned and shook her head. “Never surrender.”
Dru lifted his brows, enjoying their teasing. “Never?”
He pressed closer, and she lifted her hips.
He took her response as an invitation and buried himself inside her. She gasped and squeezed his shoulders with her fingertips.
“I’ll never tire of that,” she whispered.
He paused, sheathed to the hilt and whispered an ancient expletive that didn’t come close to explaining the fierce emotion their joining drew from him.
She took his cheeks in her hands and tugged him closer. He lowered his weight to his forearms, bringing himself close enough to feel her breath on his face. Her expression of love and passion mirrored what burned in his heart, and she kissed him with sensuous lips that would forever own him.
He could not, would not deny her anything.
His heart thundered in his chest as he rested on one arm and claimed her breast with his other hand. He massaged her soft mound and pinched her nipple. She tightened in response around him, and he growled. “Felt that.”
She gave him a dazed smile. “Did you now?”
He smiled, savoring this moment together.
She arched against him and pushed at his hips with her hands as though to move him. “Don’t you want to feel that again?”
More than he could say, but her body wasn’t enough. He wanted all of her. “You must surrender, Claire. Surrender your life and love only to me. Always.”
Curiosity lit in her eyes. “I already pledged myself to you when we bonded.”
“Yes, but I want to hear again that we’ll always belong to each other.”
A softness fell over her features. She placed her mouth against him and kissed him. Without moving away, she whispered. “I surrender to you, my love. Always and forever.”
That was all he needed. He slid out and pushed deep inside again, over and over, until she cried out from the pleasure.“Oh, Goddess.”
He thrust harder. “It’s not the Goddess who’s making love to you.”
She gripped his shoulders hard and accepted him again and again. “No, but I’m forever grateful that she sent me to you.”
He ceased talking then, and she must have lost herself in the pleasure of their joined bodies. Blinding white bliss grew to a crescendo. Suddenly, her body convulsed around him once again. He growled with pleasure and plunged forward to find his own satisfaction.
Pounding on their bedroom door brought their lovemaking to a screeching halt, with him only seconds away from achieving the ultimate bliss.
Dru growled his frustration.“What the fuck do you want?”
Death opened the door, took in the sight before him. “Sorry, man. Sexy times are over. We’ve got a fucking mob outside, and I need your help.”
At that moment, if his brother Horseman wasn’t immortal, Dru would have killed him.

Dru cursed Killian’s interruption, and Claire held back a smile, feeling only slightly bad that Dru hadn’t found ecstasy like she had. Poor man. She silently vowed make it up to him later.
Killian grinned. “I need your help, man.”
Dru shook his head and tugged the sheet over Claire. “Get Nick to help you and leave me alone with my woman.”
Death acknowledged Claire with a nod.
She smiled in return. Despite the fact that Death broke hearts daily when he stole loved ones from friends and family, she admired the man and the way he cared for Tierra and their baby.
