He trailed his fingertips up my thighs, and I nearly bucked off the bed when his fingers brushed fleetingly on my core.
He chuckled darkly as desire heated his gaze before he bent my knees, then wrapped both of my legs over his shoulders, hooking my feet behind him, right between his wings.
My attention snagged on those leathery appendages. They were spread slightly, as though he wasn’t able to keep them locked in tight, and my toe inched toward his left wing before running slightly up the inside, where the bone met flesh.
Norivun hissed, and a shuddering groan left him. “Do that again.”
My heart beat faster as I mimicked the same movement, first on his left wing and then on his right.
His entire face tightened as energy coiled around him. Squeezing his eyes shut, he took a deep breath and then another. And when he opened his eyes, such a fierce emotion shone in them that I couldn’t breathe.
“I need you naked.” In a clash of power, his magic tore through my underthings, and then I was bare, fully revealed.
His entire body just...stoppedas the power around him soared.
My chest heaved as he drank me in, the aura around him rising higher as the pulse leaped in his neck.
“So beautiful. So exquisitely perfect.” His gaze glided over my skin, traveling from my open thighs still cradling his head, to my stomach, then across my belly and up to my breasts. “I’ve been wanting to see you again. That brief glimpse at Liss Lodge wasn’t nearly enough.”
“I was skin and bones then.”
“You were still beautiful. I’ll always find you beautiful, Ilara.” His breath sucked in. “And now, you’re the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen. All curves and swells. I could spend eternity giving you pleasure, memorizing every dip and turn of your flesh.”
His eyes were wild when he prowled upward and kissed my breast, first one and then the other, before rolling my nipple with his tongue and then sucking. I moaned, arching into his touch.
“I could spend all day here,” he growled.
I moaned again when his fingers trailed up my sides, and then his clothes were flying from him, shredded completely under his magic before he stood naked above me.
My breath caught, snagging on the appendage between his legs that was so stiff and hard it curved upward. His cock was huge. So large and utterly beautiful with the twisting, throbbing veins and broad head that held a bead of dew on its tip.
“I want to taste you,” I whispered.
I hadn’t been with many males. Only two in my lifetime, and I’d never had a male in my mouth, but looking up at the prince now, at his utter power and ferocity, had my belly quivering and liquid longing flooding my core. Ineededto taste him.
Norivun’s nostrils flared, and he shook his head. “I’m tasting you first. I fear what I’ll do if that pretty mouth of yours closes around me before you’ve found your pleasure.”
I bit my lip, and the wildness in his eyes grew.
His head lowered. “You smell like the sweetest bud I’ve ever scented.” And then his mouth was going to my core.
His lips and tongue met my sensitive flesh with a clash of heat and fire. I bowed off the bed when his mouth latched onto me, his tongue starting slow as he groaned with each lick. But with each flick of his tongue, the energy around him soared as I became frantic in his arms.
He was driving me wild, taking me toward the brink, and as his hands curled tighter around my thighs and a deep possessive growl worked up his throat, it went straight to my clit.
“Norivun, oh gods, Norivun!”
It was as though he was a starving male coming to his one and only feast. He devoured me with his mouth, sucking and pulling, licking and biting in the most intense way that made my legs lock around his head as my fingers turned into claws in his hair.
I rocked against his face, moaning and clawing as he devoured my flesh, demanding that I surrender to him completely.
“Oh gods!”
He flicked my clit again with his tongue, and then I was shattering all around him, coming so hard that I saw stars, but he didn’t stop. He slipped two thick fingers inside me, hooking them at the end until he scraped against a spot deep within me, and—
Mother Below!
A second orgasm ripped through me, coming so fast on the heels of the first that I didn’t know where that one ended and the second began.
