She was perfect.
Never had he been so struck with awe, with desire and hot lust, as he had right then, looking at his fated mate.
Undone.He was about to come undone.He could feel his control slowly beginning to fray and unravel.
He felt himself break when she asked, “Will you join me in theRilliraxtonight?”
* * *
Cecelia’s heart was thundering in her chest so loudly that she wondered if Rixavox heard it echoing around the cavern.
But beyond her nerves, she felt only need.Sheneededhim to say yes because she thought she might go crazy if she went another night without him touching her.Her clit was throbbing in time with her heart and she felt wetness between her legs that theRilliraxwould soon wash away.
“You do not know what you ask,luxiva,” he rasped, his gaze flickering down her body in a way that made her even more aroused.His voice had darkened to the point where it was unrecognizable.
“I do,” she murmured.“Rixavox, I want you.”
He inhaled a sharp breath and muttered something under his breath that sounded like a curse.He ran another hand over his stiffening horns, fidgeting in place.
With more courage than she felt, she approached him.He stilled, watching her with eyes that made her feel like prey…hisprey.She liked the feeling, strangely enough.It empowered her and she felt her spine straightening in response, encouraging his gaze.
Cecelia reached down to take his palms.She brought them up and kissed them both, before running her lips over the callouses and scars.He growled loudly, eyes flaring, and Cecelia felt the power running through him, the energy he was using to restrain himself.She wanted to unleash it.
It was then she knew…he wanted her just as much as she wanted him.But he was holding back.Why?
Slowly, she pressed her naked body into his clothed one, guiding his hands to her breasts.She let out a shuddering sigh when she felt the strength of them brush her nipples.He bit out a loud curse, or perhaps a prayer, as his palms closed around them.Then he bent his head down to run his stiff horns across her cheek.
Into her ear, he rasped, “You drive me to madness, female.”
“Come into theRilliraxwith me,” she pleaded, pleasure raking through her body at his touch.“Rixavox,please.”
He groaned when she pressed closer and his hands ran from her breasts to clutch her behind, his fingers digging into the swells of her ass.
“I made a vow, female,” he said, his voice edging towards desperation, even as he squeezed her to him.
Her hips moved and she gave a feathery moan when he pressed his thigh between her legs, creating delicious pressure.“W-what vow?”
“I vowed to Privanax I would not mate you while you are under my care,” he said, the words torn from his throat.“He saw my attraction to you in the Golden City.He knew…vrax, I told him that I would not mate you.”
“I don’t care what Privanax thinks,” she cried.“Iwant you!”
The purr was deafening but it only increased her arousal.She pulled away from him slightly, her gaze catching on his wild eyes, his tense jaw.Between them, she tugged at his tunic until he got the hint.
With a groan, he pulled it over his head, baring his chest, those scars and nipple piercings.Immediately, she did what she’d been fantasizing about doing since she saw them and she leaned forward, lapping at the metal bars with the tip of her tongue.
Rixavox roared.It echoed around the cavern and she physically felt his cock jump through his pants against her belly.Cecelia squeezed her thighs together, trying to relieve herself of the building tension, but it didn’t work.
“Say yes.We don’t have to have sex tonight, if that’s what’s stopping you.We can just be with each other,” she whispered against his flesh, darting her eyes up at him.She felt dazed, drugged with pleasure and lust.The way his body trembled against her, she figured he felt the same way.“Please,” she begged.
She felt that her body might burn up before he ever answered.
But finally he did.And his answer was him reaching down to untie his leather pants before he bent down to peel them off.
Cecelia’s lips parted, her eyes going wide when she finally saw him completely naked.
Oh my God.
She would remember the sight of Rixavox, bared and aroused, for the rest of her life.
