“That was a wonderful attempt, Fia, but you’ve put yourself into quite a precarious position.” I attempted a teasing tone, but my words were ragged. The way she could catch me off guard was a mixture of terrifying, exhilarating and euphoric. It was something I’d never experienced before.
My fingers flexed around her wrists. The feeling of her body arching against mine had my mind spinning and the length of me aching in the front of my leathers. Her usual, mouthwatering scent of rosemary and sweet musk was overwhelming in this proximity.
Fuck. I needed to move.
Her right leg escaped from where my knee had pinned her, and shelooped it around the back of my thigh, pushing upward in an attempt to flip me.
Fia froze.
My hardness was fully pressed against her now, and there was no way she didn’t notice.
Heat rushed through me almost painfully, and I released her wrists, quickly sitting up, trying to untangle our limbs.
“Let’s end here for the day,” I rasped, thankful her blindfold was still in place.
“Laryk.”
My name on her lips froze me in place. I felt the leg she had wrapped around me tighten as if to pull me towards her again. Her arms blindly made their way around my neck, and she leveraged herself, rolling her hips in a teasing motion that had me seeing red.
My eyes closed at the sensation of her grinding against me. My body pulsed with need even as it shook with restraint.
“Fia,” I growled. It was a warning.
Her hips rolled again as she forced her head back, exposing that beautiful neck to me. A moan escaped her lips. It sounded like the most beautiful song I'd ever heard.
”Laryk…please.”
My sense of reason snapped.
My mouth was on her in a second, tasting the soft skin of her throat, tracing over her jaw until my lips captured hers in a possessive kiss. She tasted even better than I could have ever imagined.
I pressed her onto the ground, meeting her desperate hips with a hard thrust that left her gasping.
Breaking the kiss, I demanded, “That’s it Fia…moan for me.” One of my hands tangled itself in her silken hair, tugging softly, while the other worked to deftly undo the clasps of her bodice. My mouth explored her, impatience warring with need as I pulled at the leathers that stuck to our heated skin.
When her chest was fully exposed to the morning air, I was practically drooling. I only gave myself a second to enjoy the view beforesucking one of the peaks between my lips… gently… delicately… before biting down hard.
“Ah!” She whimpered, ripping away her blindfold to look at me with intoxicating intensity.
I gave her a roguish grin.
I wasn’t known to be a gentle lover, but before she could make another sound, my tongue flattened, soothing the ache, and she melted against me once again.
“Good girl,” I hummed against her skin, making my way to the other peak–giving it the same treatment. I watched as her lips parted on a sharp inhale. Her eyes fluttered closed as my tongue teased her sensitive skin.
Her body shivered as she pressed against me.
“Laryk, we have to hurry. The sun will be up soon. Someone may see…”
Fia’s plea had me coming apart. In one quick motion I laid her back, yanking down hard on her bottoms before tossing them to the side.
Her sex was completely pressed against the front of me, with only my leathers standing in the way of my clearly outlined need for her.
I slid my hands over the pale expanse of her thighs, opening her up for me. That parched feeling returned and I dipped down, hungrily nipping at the soft skin between her legs, never quite reaching my destination.
“Tell me you want this.” My voice was hoarse with desire.
Her startling opal eyes found me, and I saw a desperation that matched my own.
