If I can’t seek my vengeance tonight, I can have her.
A blush heated her cheeks.She has sad eyes, he realized. They glistened.
“Do you still want me?” she asked.
Cypher bared his teeth. “How can you ask that?”
She looked away. He cupped her chin and turned her face back to him.
“You haven’t joined me the last few nights… Is your bear’s rut over?”
“For you, never.”
Her lips parted. In that instant, he jerked her against him, pulling her soft, naked curves hard upon him, and lifted her to take to bed. Laying her down, he rose over her and stripped off his clothes. They tore in his haste as he roved his eyes over her from head to toe. Every inch he memorized, placing it in his mind to keep him company always.
Seeing her calmed him.
She spread her legs and raised her hips from the bed, opening for him.
“No,” he rasped, placing a hand on her belly and pushing her down. “I’m taking my time tonight.”
Her eyes widened, and she slumped but nodded. Her arousal bloomed the air between them. With saliva filling his mouth, he leaned down, shifted his cock to press against her skin, and sucked one soft nipple into his mouth.
It peaked under his tongue. Pulling it between his teeth, he plucked and pinched the other one with his fingers. Vee’s moans filled his ears.
After lavishing, he pulled up to blow on them. “I’m here,” he reminded her.
A whimper escaped.
“I’m here.”
“I think I love you, Cypher.”
He stopped. His eyes tore from her breasts to her face. Tears appeared on her lashes. His heart quickened, excited and terrified all at once.
Vee blinked the tears away.
He moved to kiss them. “Don’t cry, little spitfire.”
He tried to find the words to say something endearing back to her, but he couldn’t. They didn’t come. Electricity blazed through him, quaking him to his core. Darkness and possession surged, and it unnerved him—more than the blood he would soon seek from his enemies.
I could easily do what Zeph did. I could steal her away and flee across the universe.He realized he could do worse than that…
Hewoulddo worse than that.
He chose to say nothing, pressing his mouth to hers instead.
Cypher took her slow, enjoying every inch of her body, learning every marking, freckle, and imperfection. He devoured her curves with his hands and mouth, moved his tongue to wet her everywhere, from toe to earlobe and each place in-between. He buried his face between her legs and drank her down, fucking her with his tongue, nibbling with his teeth.
There wasn’t a place left on her body that he didn’t touch. That he didn’t mark and return to his possession.
He took the tips of her fingers, where Vee touched the Knight of Xanteaus, and sucked them into his mouth. Cypher would do so every day for however long they remained together to satisfy the agony growing within him.
After he’d thoroughly marked her flesh, he spread her legs on the bed and drove them both over the edge. Tight and ready, she was the softness to his hard shell, opening for him and him alone. Each moan and caress of her hands on his flesh drove him a little madder, a little more hurried, and his lovemaking turned frenetic.
He wanted to fuck her hard enough to entwine their souls together. Did he even have a soul?
Cypher roared when he came, rocking his body, trapping her between him and the bed. Vee wrapped herself around him and joined him in devilish bliss.
