Bowen’s other hand tugged at my scalp as he drew his mouth farther south, sucking my breast into his mouth with the smallest graze of his teeth. A gasp sprang from me at the shock, and his tongue lapped over the bud to soothe it. He elicited a thrill from me I wanted to chase, and I got the feeling Bowen would deliver willingly, should I want more.
When he gave a little bite, another moan was pulled from me, causing his fingers to dig into my back. His mouth popped off my breast, and he looked at me with lust-heavy eyes. “It will be my personal goal in life to elicit those sounds from you.” His mouth was back at my neck. “Again.” Another kiss to my collarbone. “And again.” To my jaw. “And again.”
When his mouth finally crashed into mine, another whimper climbed its way up my throat. We were a cacophony of clashing teeth, panting breaths, and heated skin. The arm wrapped around my waist slid away, only for his hand to grab my breast in a pleasuring grip. My nails scratched at his neck, but neither of us seemed to care. Not as his magic slithered around my body in ribbons of black, snaking over every inch of my skin. I was a bundle of goosebumps, every nerve alive and homed in on the two of us.
My palms slid to his chest, and I shoved him backwards so his shoulder blades hit the crystal wall behind him, his hold on me now gone. A look of shock passed over him before my mouth was on his neck, licking and sucking. Rough hands gripped my hips punishingly as my breasts pressed against him.
Bowen moved his hold to my ass, then hooked his hands under my legs to hoist me up. My legs wrapped around him seamlessly, my lips not once leaving his tattooed skin.
I never wanted this to end. Never wanted to think of Amosite again or what a world without Bowen looked like. I’d been robbed of so many things in this life, and I couldn’t let it happen again. Couldn’t be deprived of the feelings Bowen wrung from me.
In between moving my mouth from his neck to his lips, I caught sight of the water turning indigo.
“Don’t think,” Bowen commanded against my lips. “Feel me, Auria. It’s just me and you in this moment.” One hand left my thigh to weave back into my hair. “Get out of that beautiful head of yours.”
Heeding his words, I tightened my grip around his waist, melting deeper into our kiss. Warm smoke coiled around my nipple, tickling the sensitive skin. Our mouths broke apart as my lips parted on a sudden inhale.
“I want to feel you,” I begged, my voice breathless. “More than this.”
“Auria—”
“I know what I want,” I cut him off. “Please.”Don’t rob me of this, too.
I would never.
My eyes shot open at the sound of his voice echoing through my head, but before I could question it, he was gliding his hands down my front, between my breasts and over my belly, causing it to jump at his touch. Then, his hand was between our bodies, poised at my entrance.
Answering the questioning look in his eyes, I nodded. A single finger slid inside me, and my mouth fell open, my breath hitching.
A sensation like no other coursed through my body at the feeling of him, and slowly, he retreated the digit before gliding it back in. On the next pass, he added another finger, and a noise like none I’d heard before fell from me.
His mouth was back on mine in an instant as he pumped his fingers in and out of me at a pace that was torturous. Needing something—anything—to hold on to, my hand came up to his neck. His back leaned further into the crystals behind him, and I was sure they were biting into his skin, but neither of us cared. Not when everything about this moment was earth-shattering.
My forehead pressed against his as my fingers dug into the side of his neck, gripping gently. As if hearing my silent plea, he added a third finger and picked up speed. My thighs felt like slush as I tried to keep myself tangled around him. When my hold almost slipped, his smoke lashed out to support me. The tendril around my breast curled tighter, another gliding down my stomach to flick across my clit.
Another moan ripped through the dusk air, and it only stoked Bowen further. He pressed a kiss to my cheek, keeping his pace steady and fast.
“Just like that.”Please. Please don’t stop.
I wouldn’t dream of it, Princess.
His words in my mind fueled me, and when the ribbon stroked over my clit in a soothing circle, my stomach tightened and my legs went stiff. My scream echoed off the crystals as my head fell to Bowen’s shoulder.
He pressed a kiss to the crook of my neck. “That’s my good girl. Come on my fingers, Princess. Take what you need from me.”
The only thing keeping me up was his power and the hand still wrapped around my thigh as my body shook. My orgasm rippled through me like nothing I ever could have imagined, and once the waves tapered off, I peeled my eyes open to find that the water was back to a deep violet, swirling around our connected bodies.
Bowen slowly withdrew his fingers from me, moving to rest his hand on my thigh. But I didn’t want soft, and I most certainly didn’t want this to end. Not now. Not when I just got my first taste of him.
Lifting my head from his shoulder, I didn’t give him a chance to speak before my mouth was back on his. With my strength coming back, I tightened my legs around him.
Auria.
“No,” I mumbled into our kiss. I didn’t want him to tell me to stop. That we shouldn’t go further.I want more.
And we will. But?—
He heard that?
