I gasped in surprise as he pulled me up until we were both kneeling, as he continued to pound into me from behind. Impossibly, his cock seemed to slide even deeper. My back met the hardened plane of his chest as he kept his grip around my neck. His other hand went between my legs, pressing against my aching clitoris, rolling it maddeningly slowly, a juxtaposition to his almost frenzied, desperate thrusts from behind.
His hand around my throat was possessive. It wasn’t frightening. It was…
It was aclaim, I realized. The claim of my demon king.
Seerin turned my neck until he could kiss me and I met his kiss with a claim that was all my own. His dark growl threaded down my throat, sizzling straight for where we were joined, and I gasped.
The orgasm that hit me was almost violent. It arched my spine and made my whole body freeze.
Seerin felt me squeezing around his cock. He snarled at the sensation, breaking our kiss.
“Look at me while you come, rei thissie,” he ordered, his voice nothing more than a guttural purr.
I couldn’t look away from him even if I tried. His grey eyes latched onto mine. As unfathomable pleasure racked my body, as I felt his pace quicken, I never looked away.
It was then that I felt him take the very last part of me. The last lingering bit of my soul that I’d perhaps tried to keep, in fear that letting it go would change me forever.
And it did. Itwould. I knew that as certainly as I knew that I loved this demon.Mydemon.
Seerin’s brow furrowed at whatever he saw in my gaze and then I felt his cock jerk and grow inside me.
I drew in a ragged breath as I felt his seed burst from him, as it lashed against my fluttering walls and pumped deep into me, hot andso right.
With a groan, he shuddered against me, his hand loosening on my throat. We both slid forward, tumbling together on the rugs of hisvoliki.
“I do not think I will ever get enough of you, Nelle,” he groaned, his breathing ragged and rough.
He sounded almost fearful of that.
But like I’d told him on the night of the frost feast…I wasn’t afraid.
Chapter Thirty-Three
“Your skin is dry here,” I observed, looking at the ball of Seerin’s shoulder. “And here,” I murmured, running my palm down his side, underneath the water of the bath.
Water trickled as I shifted and he groaned when his cock rubbed between my legs. We were in the bathing tub and I was straddling his hips, leaning against his chest. We’d already washed one another and I discovered that Seerin washing my hair, those long fingers scraping at my scalp, felt like heaven. And right then, I’d never felt warmer or happier or more protected in my entire life.
“Because myalukkirileft me,” he murmured, tilting my face up, his eyes studying my features.
“Because you were being stubborn,” I replied, remembering that night well, quirking a brow.
He grunted, hard-headed male that he was.
I hid my smile when I said, “But wedidhave an agreement and I didn’t hold up my end of it.”
“Nik,” he murmured gravely, as if this was the most serious matter we’d ever discussed. “You did not,thissie.”
“I suppose, to make up for it,” I began, “I can be youralukkirifor the rest of the season?”
His purr told me just how much he liked that idea. “Lysi?”
“Yes.”
“And I can be yours,thissie,” he growled, his hands running up from my hips, cupping my breasts, his thumbs rubbing over my nipples.
My laugh sounded slightly breathless and died completely when he leaned in to nibble at the column of my throat. “Seerin.”
“Mmm?”
