I’m going to make you come, and then I’m going to do it again. I have to . . .His growl rang out, and he didn’t finish the thought.
His silver threads exploded from his skin and snapped back, some stroking my clit, others my breasts, while a few joined his tongue, thrusting inside me. White-hot desire blasted through me, and I swore the ground beneath us rumbled.
There’s nothing about you I don’t adore, he said.
Not even my impulsiveness?
It’s to be treasured.He plunged his fingers inside me while dragging his tongue back up to my clit. He greedily sucked on it, groaning while he did it.
How about when I insist on always being armed?
I want to protect you, but I respect you even more for your need to protect yourself.His muffled moan rang out, and he moved his fingers faster.You’re strong enough to handle anything. I just want to be by your side when you do it.
I didn’t think I could love him more than I did in this instant.
He curled his tongue around my clit, then sucked it into his hot mouth.I crave you all the time.
His fingers moved faster.
I bucked up to meet his thrusts, dissolving into a whimpering wreck. I was going to let loose and everyone within the castle was going to know that this man had given me pleasure, that he’d loved my body so completely, I’d be satisfied for the rest of my days.
When you walk into a room,he said.I want to grin like a silly fool.He coiled his fingers deep within me, dragging them in and out, stroking the spot inside that made fire sear across my soul.I want to shout to the world and the fates and anyone who’ll listen that you’re mine.
He slid a hand beneath my hips, tipping me up as an offering for his mouth, his hand, and his silver threads.
And when you look at me, your gaze soft and tender, I want to drop to my knees and beg you to love me.
I do. I’ll love you forever.
Then come for me. Give me all of you and more, Fury.
At that, a powerful orgasm rocked through me, shooting me out in all directions, only to snap me back into place within the shelter of this man’s arms.
He brought me back down to myself with steady flicks of his tongue and his fingers still moving slowly inside me. Then he rocked back onto his heels and gazed into my eyes. The hunger on his face . . . His need. It struck a matching craving within me.
I expected him to magic off his clothing and either take us to the bed or claim me right here in front of the fire. But his head tilted, and a frown of dismay cratered his face. The adorationleft his gaze in a flash, replaced by sorrow tainted with rage. “I have to go. I’m sorry.”
I sat up. “He’s called for the recently taken Nullens.”
He nodded.
How could I let him go? No, how could I do anything to hold him back when he had to do this?
We were both being ripped asunder, and there wasn’t anything we could do about it. Not yet.
He braced himself over me and gave me the sweetest kiss. “Wait up for me?”
“Vexxion.” My eyes burned, but I held my tears back. My love was going into battle. How could I cry when he was the one who was being forced to make the ultimate sacrifice?
“We’re going to end this,” I said.
“We are. Soon.”
His bands of silver wrapped around him, encasing him, blocking him from everyone’s view except mine, though I still didn’t know why.
“I love you. Come back to me,” was all I said.
He reached through his threads and cupped my face, gazing deeply into my eyes. “I love you, Fury. Always.”
