Page 38 of Deceived By a Warrior

Eva couldn’t help the reactionary parting of her lips. Nor could she help how heavy lidded her eyes became. Judging by the wicked grin on Darius’ face, he noticed her reaction. When his eyes focused on her parted lips, it took everything for her not to scream outkiss me already!

It turned out refraining from yelling her thoughts to the world didn’t matter. He obviously picked up on what she wanted. And right now? She wanted to be kissed by him. Badly.

So that’s exactly what he did.

Chapter Twenty-Two

Eva Maas

When Eva’s lips met with Darius’, nothing could convince hernottokiss him back. As much as she wanted to deny it, she wanted this. She wantedhim.Honestly, she had wanted him from the first moment she laid eyes on him.

Why not enjoy moments like this now, knowing she might not have a chance to enjoy them again?

Despite her fatigue, she found enough energy to wrap her arms around him, an obvious indication that she wanted more. She invited him in, and he eagerly answered her invitation.

When his tongue slipped past her lips, she let out a soft moan, allowing their tongues to entwine together.

When he let out a low groan, Eva couldn’t help but respond, arching her back and jutting her chest in his direction.

“You want this, don’t you?” He asked, and she nodded against his lips.She did.“Gods, so do I. Nothing will stop me now.”

Good. She didn’t want anything to stop him.

He leaned forward, pressing his body against hers and pushing her down until she was pressed back against the bed. Being trapped below his massive body enthralled her, leading her to rock her hips up against him.

He broke free from their kiss, holding her hips down as he looked at her with eyes hungrier than she had seen them before. “Careful, or I’ll come before we even get started.”

He couldn’t bethatinto her, could he be?

The dark look in his eyes told her that he might very well be.

He cocked his brow, tightening his hold on her hips as he tested her willpower. She listened to his warning, keeping her hips steady. When it seemed he was sure she wouldn’t try moving, he pressed his hips against her once again, grinding his hardened shaft against her while keeping his hands firm on her hips, holding her in place.

Eva tilted her head back, looking up to the ceiling above. It took everything in her power to keep from rubbing her body up against him.

“That’s a good girl.” He lifted a hand from her hip and used it to trace a finger along her collarbone, teasing her. “Now tell me what you want,” he said, seductively dipping a finger under her shirt, only to quickly slide it back up to her throat. When Eva, hesitant to admit how much she wanted him, said nothing, he spoke again, “tell me,Vioi. Tell me you want me, or I’ll stop here. I know what you want, but Ineedto hear you say it.” The desperation in his eyes was maddening. So maddening she couldn’t refuse his command.

She opened her mouth to speak as he looked down to her with wild eyes, his face held only slightly above hers, his hair cascading down either side of his face.

The last thing she wanted him to do right now was stop. Victim to an incomprehensible lust for him that raged within her, she told him, “I want you, Darius. I want you so badly.”

So fucking badly.

A devilish, satisfied, grin spread across his face. “Then you’ll have me,” he said as his hand trailed downward and beneath her shirt once again, exploring her breasts.

When she made another attempt to buck her hips forward, he tightened his hold on her hipbone. If his goal was to leave her immobile and pinned to the bed, he succeeded. “Leave the teasing to me,” he rasped a command.

When he traced playful circles around her nipples, taunting her with the idea of him touching them, she nearly lost her mind. “Darius,please!”She begged, wanting more from him.

Oh, she wantedsomuch more.

“How much do you want me to touch you,” his finger brushed across her nipple, “here?”

Did he need to hear how much she needed him again?

If so, she was more than happy to oblige. She planned on getting exactly what she wanted, and right now, she wantedhim.“I don’t just want you to touch me there, I want you to touch meeverywhere!”

Groaning, he said, “You can make any man go mad.”
