He froze. “How much you what?”
“Forget it.” Wrapping my arms around myself, I sat up, looking for my clothes. Too bad I hadn’t paid more attention to Jonas’ teachings. He could fashion clothing on a whim.
“Focus, Ellie,” Cadmus snapped. “All those months ago, what were you going to tell me?”
Not so lighthearted now, hmm? I watched him with new speculation, noting the panting breaths, the overeager gleam in his eyes. His erection returned, standing stiffly under my attention.
“What do you think? I’d only spent weeks making love with you when I hadn’t given Darius the time of day. I hate to break it to you, but I could have had any man I wanted with the snap of my fingers.” Damn, if felt good to say that.
“All the more reason I’m curious to know, why me? Why Cadmus Storm, Elliara al il Ruethe?”
The jerk. After making me climax, sending me in truth, he now wanted me to lay my neck on the line. I’d tried that once. I was damned if I’d do it again. So I sealed my lips and crossed my arms over my chest.
“Don’t want to say it, hmm?” His eyes danced, the anger in them fading under an amused smile that made me want to smack him. “How about you show me instead?”
With a wave of his hand, he cleared the center table of everything on it. Food and wine fell to the ground before he yanked me to my feet. I struggled, dismayed at my growing arousal. Irritated, I refused to give in to his demands when I only wanted a simple declaration of his feelings first.
“Why don’t I show you instead?” he murmured, setting me belly-down over the table. When he palmed my ass, I knew what he meant to do, and the carnality of his energy had me squirming for more.
He shoved my legs wider and thrust inside me, pumping into me sex with hard, firm strokes that started me down the road to climax once more. But instead of giving me what I needed, he withdrew and spread my ass, only to prod it with something hard and slick.
“You want to know how good you feel to me, let me show you. Let me love you, Ellie. Let me in.” He penetrated me slowly, pushing painfully past my sphincter.
Then he was in and sliding home.
“Cadmus,” I gasped, feeling so full, so stretched.
“Yeah, baby,” he rasped, pulling out only to push back in. “You’re so tight, Ellie. So perfect.” He rocked against me, increasing his thrusts. “So mine.”
He stimulated my clit with magic while riding me, making me feel naughty and excited all at once. The things he thought about doing to me had me so wet that his finger slid easily into my pussy while he took reamed ass.
My mouth over his cock, my pussy under his lips. Coming on my breasts, over and in my ass. Climaxing over and over, until we were one writhing mass of sensation.
“You are…such a…perv,” I managed, closing on an orgasm so intense I wanted to scream. He pumped his fingers a few times before removing them. Then he braced his hands on my hips and rode me hard.
“Go ahead and yell, Ellie.” His balls slapped against me as he rammed harder, his possession thrilling. “I’m going to.” He shoved again and groaned my name, filling me to overflowing.
As his milky seed slid down my legs, he shifted his mental touch over my clit. I came harder, squeezing him as my body clenched, wanting the feeling to never end.
“That, Ellie,” he gasped, “that never-ending feeling of joy. That’s what you are to me. Love is far too tame a word to describe what I feel for you.”
Stunned, I felt emotionally connected in a way I had never been before.
“Do you really mean that? You’re okay with all this?” I hated to sound so weak and needy, but I couldn’t take another heartbreak.
“Okay with this?” He pressed harder, and over my shoulder, I saw him grinning ear to ear. “Honey, every time I’m near you I want to come. What do you think?”
“Not this.” I blushed and moved to separate from him.
“Not yet. Mmm.” He rotated his pelvis, and a flare of heat stole through my core. “By the Light, I love your ass.”
I felt foolish. “I can’t talk to you in this position. I need to see you.”
He pulled out, and as much as I wanted to see him, I missed him inside me.
I turned around and faced him. “I’m Djinn, and the Djinn have done some pretty bad things to your family.”
“Jonas saved my life, not once, but twice. He saved my brothers too. Your father provided sanctuary when needed. I’m not so big a fool I can’t differentiate one Djinn from another.” He flushed and stroked me cheek. “I was an idiot when I left you before. But, Ellie, understand. I was in shock. I’d fallen so hard for you, only to learn you weren’t who I’d originally thought. Up to that point, all I knew of the Djinn is what my family had suffered.”
