Warmth pooled in her stomach, pleased by his words though they also embarrassed her. She wasn’t used to receiving compliments, much less from attractive males.
A little, ugly voice in her head reminded her that she was paying for his time, that it was in his best interest to say pretty things to ensure that she returned, which was probably what Madame Allegria trained all the Krave to do.
It was still business, after all.
No, she thought, shutting down that trail of thought.
Though she hardly knew him, Eve knew that Khiva wouldn’t say those things just for business. There was no mistaking the look in his eyes. She might be a virgin, but she knew what that look meant. She’d seen it plenty in the eyes of men whenever they looked at attractive, beautiful women.
He made her feel beautiful…and because of that, shefeltbeautiful that night.
She wouldn’t allow her own insecurities ruin that feeling for her.
Eve gasped, arching her neck up, when he suddenly stepped forward to kiss her. Immediately, his tongue swept into her mouth and she sighed, feeling her head swim. He kissed her so well, driving out all lingering doubts from her mind, and by the time he pulled back, she was clutching onto his shoulders, on her tiptoes.
The sound of splashing water made them look over at the tub.
“Vauk,” he cursed when he saw it overfilling. Quickly, he turned off the faucet, draining some of the water so that it wouldn’t spill out when she got in. Then he returned to her, catching her by the lips again as if he couldn’t stand to be parted from her.
As he was kissing her senseless, he undressed, pushing off his loose black pants and tugging off the shirt that molded to him like a second skin, briefly parting from her so he could get it over his head.
“Oh,” Eve gasped in surprise when she suddenly found herself swung up in his arms. Her breasts were pressed against his chest as he carried her over to the bathtub.
She realized why it was so big. It was because it was meant to accommodate the size of a Keriv’i. Khiva settled against the back of the tub and pulled her between his legs, so that her back was against his front.
Eve’s eyes fluttered shut as she sank down into the hot water, feeling her tightened muscles immediately begin to loosen. That wasn’t all she felt, however. Khiva groaned against her as her backside settled over his hard cock. She could actually feel himthrobbingagainst her skin.
“I cannot wait until I am inside you,leeldra,” he rasped against her. “Until I cum inside your cunt and make you moan for me.”
Eve’s breath hitched, feeling those crude, arousing words pool between her legs. Slowly, her head fell back against his chest as his hands trailed down the front of her body. She made a little sound when his fingers brushed her nipples, jerking in his lap.
Then she held her breath as those fingers dipped lower and lower.
“Khiva,” she whispered, her hands finding his strong, powerful thighs underneath the water. She gripped them as her eyes fluttered shut, as his fingers found her sensitive, pulsing clit. He rubbed her there, in expert little circles, using just the right pressure. “Oh!”
“Do not cum, female,” he murmured against her, his voice so dark that it was unrecognizable, even as he quickened his fingers.
Gone was the male who remembered that she was his client. Gone was the male who had asked her last visit how she wanted to begin, allowing her the lead if she desired it.
Thiswas Khiva, she realized. This dominant, dark, maddening alien male who told her what he wanted…who demanded it. It was Khiva who had pushed her up against the door the moment she’d stepped inside that night. He was not the Krave that took orders from his clients.
She washisplaything for the night, as ifhe’dpaid forher, and that made her belly clench in pleasure.
“Khiva,” she moaned, her tone bordering on desperation as she felt that desire begin to unravel. Her breath came out in rough pants. She’d been aroused almost all day, thinking about him, that it wasn’t going to be long before shedidorgasm. “I can’t…I—”
“Do not cum,” he repeated again, his voice bordering on a growl. But he finally took pity on her and stopped playing with her clit. Her body sagged in relief and disappointment all at once.
But her reprieve didn’t last long.
Instead, his fingers slid lower.
Eve’s hips pulsed upwards as one of his long, thick fingers stilled over her entrance. His chest heaved against her back as he murmured into her ear, “I am going to work inside you slowly,pax?”
He could’ve said anything at that moment and Eve would’ve still lolled her head in agreement mindlessly.
Khiva made that pleased sound again and brushed his lips across the shell of her ear, making her shiver and gasp.
And then, he slipped about an inch of his finger inside her.
