Page 97 of Kiss of Light

She reared up onto her knees and reached above her, twining her fingers into his hair. He kissed her neck, sucking at the pulse that leapt in wild abandon under his tongue.

He brought his hands to her breasts, kneading them, rolling the rose-bud tips between finger and thumb. She moaned as he kept one hand at her nipples and moved the other down to the swollen nub between her legs.

He stroked it in time to his thrusts, the rhythmic caress building the glorious pressure inside her.

“Lemar…”

“Not yet.”

The heavy clouds finally broke and the heavens opened in earnest. They were soaked in seconds. Rivulets of water sluiced between Tala’s breasts as her rain-slicked body writhed against his.

Lemar thrust harder, encouraged by her breathless moans. His fingers strummed the nerve endings between her legs until her tissues were fully engorged. She tried to hold back the velvet tide threatening to overwhelm her. The feel of him on her and in her was incredible.

“Lemar… please...”

Her head fell back onto his shoulder and he claimed her lips with brutal passion, forcing his tongue against hers. Rainwater streamed down their bodies as she submitted to the ferocity of his passion. When he’d tasted enough, he growled an order.

“Now, shaitun.”

And she shattered. Again and again. Fractured into a million pieces as shudders of frantic pleasure rippled through her core until she couldn’t help but scream.

Lemar felt her clenching hard around his shaft and the sensation robbed him of the last of his control.

He bent her forward, forcing her shoulders down to gain extra depth for the last few strokes. She was pliant as he gripped her hips and drove into her.

The final throes of her orgasm dissipated and he saw the lines of her body soften.

Beautiful, he thought.Beautiful and mine. All mine.

And he was lost. Rain pummelled down onto his shoulders as he exploded inside her, spasming helplessly in the rapture of his release.

Forty Two

They lay spreadeagled on the sodden grass. Rain pattered down on them, the heavy droplets coming thick and fast.

“Shall we move inside?” Lemar inquired, eyes closed.

“In a minute.” To be honest, Tala had barely registered the weather. She was still floating on a pink cloud somewhere. “I could use a shower.”

She stood gracefully and raised her arms, letting the rain wash her clean. The thunder and lightning had long since moved off, with just an occasional rumble as a reminder of their passing.

Lemar cracked an eyelid and watched the demon twirling in the rain. He studied the lines of her body appreciatively. Small but perfectly formed.

He frowned as he noticed a bruise on her upper arm. It was fading already, but…

“Did I hurt you?”

She was amused by the concern in his voice.

“Not in any way I minded, bloodsucker.”

“I wouldn’t forgive myself if I harmed you.”

“You didn’t. Just don’t leave it so long to feed next time.”

He sat up to glare at her.

“Speaking of which, what the hell were you thinking? I told you before, I don’t feed and fuck. And youdeliberatelyforced me into a hunt. Are you crazy?”
