Maybe if I weren’t about to shatter without his touch, I’d feel overly exposed, timid with my ass in his face. But not now. He could position me any way he wants, do anything that involves me, and I’d take it.

He trails a finger along my slit, gathering up the wetness, and slips it back into my ass, perfectly timed with his mouth landing over my lips, my clit… then everywhere. I’m not prepared for the trancelike state of euphoria he tips me into. I moan and twist my head around, trying to get a good view of the man with his face burrowed between my cheeks, his finger now pumping in and out of me with ease. His other hand is firm on my ass, holding me in place.

Every minute of the long days leading up to this have been torturous. Painful. And all I need now is to let go.

He pulls away then returns, licking me in one long swipe and wetting me thoroughly. “I could devour you all day.”

“Eli,” I whimper. Tension builds in my core, tying me up tight. “I’m—”

“You’renotcoming yet.” He pops his finger out, and kisses my center, diving his tongue deep inside me one last time before abandoning my swollen lips and dripping entrance.

My knees shake, my arms weak and collapsing beneath me, my ass still high in the air. I was so close. “Bastard.”

But after what must be the longest moments of my life, of only his teasing breath on me, he goes back for more, renewed passion in every lick and the slip of his fingers inside each opening. The sound of his mouth on me, his soft groans, the way he holds me so tight—that’s what pushes me over the edge. And I fall. So hard and so fast that he has to hold my hips up to keep his lips on me as I come. It lasts forever.

Relief arrives in a flood as the magic inside me rearranges itself, finds center, finds balance. I’m suspended in rapture, not a care in the world except the pleasure that pulses through me so violently. But forever is not long enough at all. I teeter on weak hands and knees.

“Mmm,” he says, capturing me between his teeth and tugging gently as he pulls away. Then he lifts himself out of the water and sits next to me on the ledge, patting the stone next to him. “On your belly before I make you.”

His feet kick lightly in the water as he waits. He leans back on one arm then grabs his length with his free hand, gliding up and down. I’mnot sure why his naked body affects me like it does, why I’m taken over by the need to touch every inch of this man. It must be a flaw in creation. Because nothing should have such a sway on the mind and body.

Shaking and spent, I’m tempted to let him control me, let him force me into position on my stomach, my face over his nakedness. But I want him to know how much I want this. I find the strength to turn and kneel by his side. Water streams from my hair down my belly and in between my already wet lips. I stare at his lap, maybe, possibly, completely intimidated.

“You’re nervous.” He runs a finger under my chin.

“Maybe.”

“Why?”

I had been ready for this before, but now, when something lurks in his heart, when I want to open mine and let him in—it’s different. I want to get it right, make him come so hard he’ll never look anywhere else for relief, not even his hand. I consider eight different lies and dismiss them all, though I find the truth hardest to coerce past my lips. “I don’t know how to do it.”

“Do what?” That damn smile returns.

I fold my arms over my chest, suddenly self-conscious. He’s only asking to hear me say it. “To suck you, okay? I’ve never done that.”

His grin collapses, replaced with a smoldering stare. He wraps his hand around the back of my neck and pulls me toward him. Our faces meet. He kisses my lips then presses his nose into mine. “Good. Knowing my cock will be the first to slide down your throat and bring those pretty little tears to your eyes makes it so much better.”

ELIVANDER

Never’s indigo eyes go wide, stealing the attention from every other part of her face, the cuts and burns almost fully healed by the water.

“Will it hurt?” she asks. Her heart crashes into me, beat after beat.

“Isn’t that what you wanted?”

“Yes.” She swallows, her nerves affecting me as much as her. “What if I bite you?”

“I’ll bite you back.”

She frowns. “Onaccident.”

I give her a reassuring smile. “I’d still bite you back.”

You guys have problems, Kelter grumbles.

Damn him.Go find someone to fuck.
