I pulled her forward, crashing my lips into hers as if I needed them to breathe.
She hesitated, stiffening for only a moment, before wrapping her arms around my neck and returning my kiss with an unguarded passion. The bond inside of me, inside of us, connecting and strengthening with every passing moment.
My hand moved to cup the back of her neck, tilting it to expose her enough to trail kisses down her silky skin. She arched into my touch, moaning into my ear. “Ian, are you sure you want to do this now, after everything that happened today?”
Stopping, I returned my gaze directly to hers. “I have never been more sure of anything in my entire life.”
Raya smirked, then tackled me to the ground, straddling me before leaning forward and kissing me once more. She ran her hands through my disheveled hair, and every part of my body tingled at her touch.
I raked my hands up her chest and cupped her breast as she gasped into my mouth. “Show me what you’ve got.”
Grabbing her black tunic, I lifted it up and over her head, longing to see and feel every inch of her. I stared, drinking in how beautiful she looked. “You are perfect.”
A small smirk tilted the side of her lips, and fuck me, I needed her closer.
Without breaking our kiss, I sat up and grabbed her body, picking her up by her ass. She wrapped her legs around my waist, as I stood, carrying us both. I returned my mouth to hers, using the momentum of rocking to my feet to swing us backward until we landed against the wall. A framed map of Ellevail, clattered to the floor from the force.
We stood breathless for a moment, and I savored the feel of her beneath my hands. She trembled briefly before she let go of my waist and stood flat against the wall. Raya moved quickly, ripping my shirt so hard, I lost two buttons in the process of getting it off.
I couldn’t care less.
“Pants, now,” she commanded, as she hastily rid herself of hers.
I grabbed her hands, stopping her as she tried to shimmy her pants down her thighs “My sweet mate, I am in charge here.” I grinned, nipping at her bottom lip once as I brought her hands over her head and against the wall. “So youwilldo as I say, or you’ll be punished. Do you understand?”
A glimmer of excitement shone in her eye. “Yes, Captain. What are my orders?”
Fates above, I might be in love.
“Stay still, and don’t move.” I gave her a knowing look, and she nodded and left her hands resting above her head. “Good girl.”
A soft whimper escaped her lips. My cock hardened at the delicious sound.
Sliding my hands slowly, I trailed down her arms, over her breasts, and down her stomach. I grazed my fingers over almost every inch of her before reaching down her thigh and slowly sliding her pants all the way to the floor.
Raya arched away from the wall, still leaving her hands above her head. I grinned up at her as her eyes flashed with heavy desire. Trailing kisses up her legs, I took my time rising to my knees.
“Spread your legs,” I commanded as I positioned myself closer.
She obeyed, opening herself up to me. “Yes, Captain.”
The time for soft and delicate would be saved for another day. This moment was desperate and wanting. I couldn’t wait any longer.
The first taste of her sent shivers down my spine. It was intoxicating, and I wanted to get drunk off her. I lapped against her with long, smooth strokes of my tongue.
“More,” Raya panted.
I grabbed her leg, throwing it over my shoulder and positioning myself further and deeper within her. She was so wet for me, so perfect with the way her hips moved against my mouth, and I loved every fucking second of it.
“Is this all for me?” I asked, looking up at her.
She stared at me, squirming and breathing heavily. “Yes,” she said in a breathy exhale. “Fates, yes.”
I reached two fingers up toward her lips. “Suck.”
Her mouth parted and she moaned as she ran her tongue over my fingers.
After a moment, I pulled them back, moving them to her entrance. “So wet, so perfect. You’re mine, aren’t you, Raya.”
