“Fucking Four,” he breathed. “You will always be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
Something deep in my heart shimmered with joy.
“Now,” he said, lifting one of my legs over his shoulder. “May I please...” He pressed his lips to the inside of my ankle. “...please...” The side of my knee. “... soak my tongue in your taste?”
My breath hissed through my teeth as my thighs clenched. “Aiden!”
“Yes, my little thief?”
Desire ripped through me like a hurricane. “Do anything you gods-damned want to! Just do itnow.”
“Mmm,” he purred. “I like those words even better.”
I opened my mouth to yell at him, plead with him, command him. But then his mouth sank onto my throbbing center. A moan trailed from my throat.
Gods, his mouth was so warm, his tongue so sure and strong as he tasted me.
I shuddered beneath him, but his hands held me steady, gripping my hips and lifting them.
“Aiden,” I gasped, my voice thready with need.
He sucked hard, and I cried out, bucking against his mouth. He steadied me. But then his tongue pierced the neediest spot.
Pleasure stabbed through my body. “Yes,” I panted. “M-more.”
He growled, sounding only too happy to oblige. His tongue attacked me over and over, and I welcomed each thrust. He was wreaking havoc over my world. Ripples of fire enveloped me until my whole body burst in a shower of sparks.
I must have cried out again—perhaps many times—because he covered my mouth with his, wet and warm.
“Sweeter than honey, just like I thought,” he murmured.
His favorite. I let out a choked laugh and kissed him.
I’d never felt so wild with desire for someone before. I’d never felt this raw happiness that made me feel vulnerable and powerful in equal turns. I’d also never been so desperate to make someone feel the same way.
“I need you, Aiden,” I said between kisses, reaching for his pants and freeing the heavy length within. “Let me make you fall apart. I want?—”
“Gods damn it, Kiera,” he grunted as he hastily kicked off his pants and undershorts. “The only place I’m falling apart is inside you.”
I groaned my approval, wrapping my legs around his waist. He stilled for a moment, his eyes darting to mine with a question.
“I take the tonic,” I whispered. “Melaena had some.”
His face smoothed, and he bent down to give me a long, lingering kiss. The kind that restoked the fire building inside me once more.
I slowly reached between us and gripped his hand where it fisted his cock. Then I guided it inside me. We both groaned as he pushed all the way in.
Holy Four,thiswould be what destroyed me.
He rocked into my body, lighting it up like the storm outside. Then he began kissing me again. Even if my soul were to pass a thousand Ages, I would never forget the way Aiden kissed me.
My hips rose to meet his fluid movements, and he groaned into my mouth. He abandoned my lips to suck on my neck and bite my earlobe. His greedy hands cupped my breasts and pinched my nipples.
I gasped and twisted my body hard.
His eyes widened as I reversed our positions. But then his lips curled with satisfaction. I pinned his wrists by his head.
“Don’t touch me until I tell you to,” I whispered in his ear, flicking my tongue against it. “It’s my turn.”
