“To discover a creature perfectly designed to seduce me, hiding in the drapes…” Drustan continued, lifting his gaze to lock on mine in the mirror.
I was hypnotized. Not by him, but by the moment. By his proximity. The heat of him caging me in against the tiny sink. The tease of his fingers on my hand, traveling up my arm, until one of his hands grazed my shoulder.
“Lulling me in with her delicious scent.” Drustan turned his nose toward my hair and inhaled, expanding his chest enough to emphasize the contact between us. “Hopelessly tangled in your trance. Enchanting me with your beauty. Your eyes…” His hand on my shoulder slowly dragged over my collar bones, then flattened over my chest. His pinky finger pressed against the swell of my breast, his thumb brushed against the sensitive pulse point at the base of my neck. “Even the deadliest monster would crumble to his knees for a chance with a stunning creature like you, my song.”
I exhaled a ragged breath, leaning back, exposing more of my neck for him.
Drustan took the silent invitation. His lips first teased the shell of my ear before gently nipping it. I pressed my lips together to keep my whimper at bay, but it was difficult as his palm on my chest pulled me entirely flush against him. My hips were pinned against the sink. No part of my back or ass was untouched by his massive body.
His masculine scent was making me lightheaded.
The soothing heat of his skin on mine made muscles in my body slowly relax into his hold. A low sound rumbled in his chest as he nipped at my neck. I could hear the intake of breath through his nostrils, as if he was inhaling as much of me as he could.
I pressed my ass against him, desperate to confirm this physical attraction between us.
He responded by pressing his hips into me. Letting me feel the rigid evidence of his arousal on my lower back, teasing against my cheeks.
My thighs pressed together at the size of what I was feeling.
“Oh.” I moaned as his hand slowly slid down my chest, not quite grabbing my breasts, but teasing the tops of them as his golden eyes flashed to mine in the mirror. His lips traveled up my neck to pull at my earlobe, and both of our gazes dropped when we saw hard peaks on full display underneath my bikini top. His pupils widened, wider than normal.
Suddenly, his golden irises were black.
“Your eyes,” I managed to gasp as I lifted my hand to cover his. I tried to pull his hand down, to palm where my chest was visibly begging him to touch, but he held his hand firm as he continued to ravish my neck and ear.
My other hand was pinned underneath his, holding onto the sink.
“I can’t help it,” he murmured against my skin. “You awaken the monster in me, Vanessa.”
I pressed my lips together to hold in a pathetic, submissive sound.
Why did my body like the sound of that so much?
I gasped when he finally slid his hand over my bathing suit. His palm and fingers were flush against my body, but instead of staying at my chest, his hand continued down my abdomen. Toward my pelvis.
My core pulsed in awareness, and I found myself pushing my ass against him again.
Drustan groaned, and the sound practically made my mind go numb.
I shifted, and his heavy erection was firmly between my ass cheeks as I pressed against him some more. My hand pushed onhis, silently pleading with him to tease me underneath my swim bottoms, but he held his hand firm on my pelvis.
“Do you want it now?” Drustan growled against my neck.
I was getting ready to say yes, when I froze.
Drustan didn’t hesitate to react, stiffening as soon as he felt me tense.
“Wait…” I dropped my head, bracing both hands on the sink again. “Wait…”
I turned, and he stepped back enough to allow me room to do so in the small bathroom.
I stared at him, and something like concern filled his expression as his eyes slowly faded from black to gold again.
Was he—did he?—
“Were you?—”
But I didn’t get to finish my question. Before I could confirm my suspicion, Drustan was gone.
