Nothing can hurt me here.
When I whimper as my body sinks further into that warmth, the deep rumble that answers is the only sound that cuts through the pounding music pulsing through the air, mesmerizing me. My hips undulate, and soon I’m dancing in the dark, desperate to get closer, aching for more.
I want to beconsumed.
I reach up behind me, pulling the darkness closer until finally,finally, that warm pressure descends between my legs, right where I want.
Where Ineed.
“Say yes,” the darkness whispers once more.
Nothing can hurt me here.
“Yes,” I answer.
The kiss turns hard, brutal, and I’m swept away, lost to the promise of pleasure as the pressure turns painful.
It’s not enough.
When I whimper, the darkness abandons the kiss, leaving a trail of warmth down my neck.
“What do you need?”
“More.”
“Then take it.”
The challenge laid, I do the only thing I can, riding the edge of pain and pleasure until the darkness swallows my moan as I fall to pieces.
When I surface from the haze of my orgasm, eyes adjusting to the riotous flashes of light, it’s to find Thane’s eyes boring into mine. Despite the darkness, despite the writhing bodies on the dance floor between us, he sees me.
One blue eye glowing, just like the other day, transfixed on me as the world moves around us like ghosts in the shadows.
But I’m safe in the darkness.
Nothing can hurt me here.
When my hips start moving to the pulse of music once more, I let him watch.
The dance turns into something just for him.
Something secret.
For a few stolen moments in the dark, a powerless witch and the last Leviathan are bound together by an invisible thread, stretched across time and space.
The only question is who will blink first.

THANE
The drugsaren’t fuckingworking.
I’ve tried everything in my stash.
Nothing can get the taste of her off my tongue.
The feel of her hot, slick cunt squeezing around my fingers.
