Chapter Twenty-Two
She could try to push him away with words, but this had everything to do with now, tomorrow, and forever. He’d prove to her this would work while getting her somewhere safe. Life was precarious and had almost been snatched away from them. He wanted her relocated to somewhere no one could find her, not even Blay.
But right now…
He enjoyed every nuance of Vee’s reaction from the small sounds she made to the tiniest shiver of her body. He liked the angles of her face and her curves.
The moral move would be to pull back from his driving need and be patient. She should run first, and learn how to shift. That was high stress for anyone. She should drink from him and get stronger. He was old enough to know how to find patience, if he put forth even a 20 percent effort. Yet, when nothing at his age was new, the novelty of her and what she made him feel was an addiction he couldn’t deny. He savored the consuming need and the new sensations swirling through his body. Hell, he enjoyed this mental debate because this was real give-a-shit concern. Every moment he was with her he felt more alive.
“Do you want to continue or pause?” he asked. Would he be able to stop if she said no?
“Don’t stop now.”
He pulled the sweater over her head. Her nipples were tight and pink. Perfect. His hands covered them, and then his mouth. As he licked and tasted, a gasp broke from her lips along with his name. So responsive. The kitchen felt exposed. He wasn’t sure she’d want to be so public for this. “Should we find a more private place?”
“Here.” Her hands were at the waist of his pants, unlatching and tugging.
He gazed around the room, landing on the counter. Too high. Table. Perfect height. He lifted her easily and set her on top. She arched backward and spread her legs.
He leaned in giving a series of kisses and nips down her stomach. He lifted her hips to put his mouth on her. Heaven.
“Lexan! It’s too much.” Her hips arched against him.
“It’s never too much. This is the two of us…together.” He breathed the words against her, loving the way she responded to him. Uninhibited. Wild. Her body bucked when he applied a few more licks. She was close.
“I want to feel you around me when you come,” he said hoarsely.
Her eyes met his, now so dilated the green was almost gone. He pulled her to the edge of the table and surged into her. He tilted her hips and thrust deeper.
She moaned. Her body tensed. For a moment he worried he’d hurt her. Everything about her made him lose his mind and control. “Okay?”
“I’m more than okay. Don’t stop.” Her legs circled around his hips, urging him closer. “I’ve never wanted anyone this much.”
He found a perfect rhythm, moving subtly to rub against a spot that made her body arch. With a guttural groan, she dug her fingernails into his forearms. He forced his body under a semblance of control, unlike last time, to drive her to the edge.
Vee shuddered with pleasure. “Please. I need…now,” she demanded.
Lexan released all restraints. He drove into her as deep as he could go. So slick, so hot. Her moans urged him faster. At the moment he felt close to the edge, he leaned in and put his mouth on her shoulder over his mark and bit gently.
Her inner muscles squeezed, and she cried out.
He exploded within her. Pleasure swamped his brain, sweeping him away. He’d had pleasure in the past, but never like this. Never with such intensity. His heart pounded between his ears as he stayed buried deep within her.
Her legs slid down his hips.
“That was…” Her luminous gaze met his.I can’t even voice it.She slid off the counter. He helped her regain her balance and felt her body tremble against his. “Is that part of being in your world?”
He grinned. “It’s a preview.”
She tugged on her clothes and snagged the remaining half of the Hershey bar. “So far, so good.”
“We are far from done.” His cell phone chirped.
He pulled out the cell and sighed. Time to reveal the truth to her of the real underground war.
