“Let me see you, too. Out of the water, or else I’ll drain it.”
Heat stole across my cheeks, but my legs moved on their own accord. I slid up onto the lip of the bathtub, my arms over my breasts and one hand between my legs.
“Little tease,” he growled. One of his shadows curled along my shoulders and caressed me. “I said I want to see my queen.”
The ache between my legs intensified, and the yanking in my chest nearly had me crawling to him.
“Let me see you,” he said, his gaze fixed on me, hungry and wild.
More heat spread through my body, and I knew I had to be blushing. But slowly, I moved my hands and set them at my sides, curling against the marble bath.
His breath sharpened. “Fecking void, how are you even real, Briar? You’re too perfect.”
He leaned forward and palmed one of my breasts, thumb circling the nipple, and the sensation sent a jolt of heat through my core. He gripped my ass and lifted me so my legs wrapped around his waist, and I rocked against him involuntarily and moaned as his hardness rubbed between my lips.
“Never has there been a woman so perfect,” he breathed huskily. “I want to tear out the eyes of anyone who has ever looked upon you. What did I ever do to deserve someone like you in my life?”
My heart warmed at hearing how much he cared for me. I swallowed hard and looked up at him. “I could ask the same thing.”
“I want you, and my shadows want you too. I want you again and again until your voice shatters and my legs give out and I can barely hold myself up.” He lowered his head and licked where his thumb had just been.
My head jerked back. Part of me wanted to tease him, but the rest of me just wanted to be with him and satisfy the ache that now practically consumed me. I rocked against him once more.
“Not quite yet.” He slid his fingers between us and circled as his teeth gently raked my nipple.
I gasped and tried to reach down to touch him, but he caught my free arm. “Not until you’re ready.”
“Oh, believe me, I…” I started, but his fingers and mouth cut off every thought aside from pleasure. His fingers slipped inside me while his thumb circled, and he kept my wrists locked within his other hands. Then his teeth and tongue sent me over the edge.
My body quivered and clenched around him as he continued to caress me. I didn’t know how long the sensations lasted before I came down, but somehow my body craved him even more.
“I was foolish. I wouldn’t be able to live without you, especially now that you’ve fallen apart for me.” He began the onslaught again, but that wouldn’t cut it.
My wolf surged forward, tired of waiting for the one thing I desired.
I yanked his hand away and rasped, “I want you,now."And rubbed against him even harder than before.
He grunted, then spread my legs wider. My entire body opened, welcoming him.
“Fate,” he rasped, placing his forehead against mine. “You feel so ready, but I don’t want to?—”
“I’m good.” I licked my lips, tasting my sweat and his. “Please, make love to me.”
“You feel tight. I don’t want to hurt you.” His forehead lined.
I huffed a shaky laugh. “I can take anything you dish out. I dare you. I’ll tell you if it gets to be too much.” I thrust against him again.
His smile curled higher on the right side. “We shall see.” Then he pressed into me.
The entire world fell apart as he entered me. I spread my legs wider as his lips captured mine. My hands gripped his back,feeling the base where his wings connected near his shoulder blades.
“I will always adore and worship you,” he promised as he thrust faster and faster. As my fingers rubbed the base of his wings, he shuddered.
Everything tightened inside me as the friction built up even more. All I could focus on was his body, how he felt, and his scent as he kept taking me higher.
Cold tendrils brushed my body as his wings surrounded me, and his movements became frantic. As he kissed me, his shadows caressed my breasts and had me tightening in pleasure.
As the pressure came close to exploding, a sudden urge took me by surprise. I tried to ignore it, but it became uncontrollable. I moaned as the cold sent me over the edge and I shattered in pleasure.
