“Godsdammit,” I growled and shoved his arm back, only spilling more of the pungent liquor on myself when he resisted. “Let me up.”
His grip was iron and his husky chuckle wickedly warming as he held me firm.
His silver gaze fell to my chest, the intensity of it sending heat spiralling through me, ripping awareness of the world from me as I stilled, breathing hard as I waited to see what he would do. The metal coverings on the tips of his pointed ears and the rings he wore in his piercings glinted in the firelight as he slowly leaned towards me, the braids he wore tucked behind his ears falling forwards as he angled his head.
A shiver wracked me as his breath skated across my throat, waves of tingles chasing over my skin as my nipples beaded against the corset I wore beneath my blouse. Awareness of how close his lips were to my skin ratcheted up my temperature,shortening my breaths as anticipation swirled through me, the wicked part of me he had unleashed urging him to do it.
Touch me.
Caress me.
I burned with the heat of a thousand suns as I waited, desperate to feel his lips, his tongue, on my flesh again.
And fought it.
Fought that fire that blazed in my veins as his tongue laved a path across my damp chest, chasing the drops of amber liquid trembling on my skin.
I squeezed my eyes shut, desperately trying not to be affected by him, trying not to melt into him and give away how good it felt as he slowly stroked his tongue across my overheating flesh, his breath teasing me as he inched downwards.
Towards my breasts.
Heat pooled between my thighs despite my fight and I squeezed my legs together, clamping down on a shiver as his free hand grazed my waist.
Drifted lower to my thigh.
As if he could sense the heat and need building there.
Jenavyr cleared her throat.
Kaeleron growled against my skin at the interruption, snarling softly against the mounds of my cleavage, the rumble of it vibrating through my body.
I stiffened as awareness of the world slammed back into me, panic lancing me, and clumsily shoved against him, pushing him back and tumbling from his grip to land on all fours on the rug at his feet.
I unleashed a growl of my own as I came to my feet and snapped fangs at him, barely resisting the urge to shift into my wolf form—my stronger form.
He merely lifted a single eyebrow at my threatening behaviour, a challenge in his eyes that dared me to deny I hadliked what he had been doing and that I had wanted him to go further.
My heart thundered as I held his wicked gaze that felt as if it was stripping me bare, exposing the truth of me.
I wanted him.
I still wanted him.
Right here. Right now. Regardless of our audience.
But I wasn’t going to give in to that want.
“I think I will retire for the night, and I suggest you do the same, Saphira. My brother is clearly drunk.” Vyr held her hand out to me.
I looked at it and then at Kaeleron, heart pounding, limbs trembling. I should take her hand and the out she was offering, I knew that. It was dangerous to remain here with Kaeleron when he had fired me up, had me wanting things I shouldn’t, but I didn’t want to leave. Not yet.
“I’ll head up soon,” I said and didn’t miss the concern in her eyes as she looked from me to her brother. “I just need to ask him a few things and then I’ll head to bed. Alone.”
Not that I expected Kaeleron to join me. Or wanted it.
I just didn’t want Vyr thinking that her brother was the sort of male who might force me to do something I didn’t want. He wasn’t like that. For all his darkness, I had never once felt as if I was in any danger with him. He teased and tempted, but never did anything I didn’t want.
Vyr nodded and shot her brother a warning look before she exited the room, leaving us alone.
