“Tolvi?” she asked, blood rushing to her ears.
“No. Rough, the human gang leader. He didn’t like that Eddi put a spanner in his little profitable side job of abducting humans and children and selling them to the demons from the Dark Realm.”
“The bastard. That’s why he wanted me.”
“Never gonna happen. But he’s just a small cog in a bigger wheel. We will get them all. Now, no more talk of work—” He scooped her in his arms.
“Wait-wait, where are you taking me?”
A wicked glint appeared in his eyes. “You look like you need a shower.”
“Really?” She rolled her eyes as he entered the bathroom. “You’re so transparent.”
“Of course, I am.” He slowly let her slide down his hard, his reallyhardbody. He removed her t-shirt and panties and tossed it aside. “When it comes to you, I’m practically glass with my intentions, and right now? I want to rediscover every delicious inch of you before I feast on my favorite part.”
“Uh-huh…” Biting her lip so her smile wouldn’t escape, she hooked two fingers into the opening of his pants, her fingertips brushing his erection. His eyes narrowed. Slowly, she lowered the zipper, and his impressive cock sprang free. She wrapped her fingers around his rock-hard shaft, and he stilled. The feel of silky skin over steel stole her breath.
Shadow glided her thumb over the barbell piercing just beneath the head of his cock, but tormenting him became her own undoing, and she bit back a groan of need.
His gaze heated, a white flame of desire. “Mate, you play a perilous game.”
“Who says I’m playing?” she asked huskily. But the urge to give him pleasure took hold, and she lowered to her knees and tugged his pants lower.
“You don’t have to do this—”
“I want to.” She grasped his shaft and licked the head, then over the barbell. “But you’ll have to show me what you like.”
“What you’re doing is a good start,” he rasped, a nerve popping on his jaw. The heat and raw hunger in Nik’s expression became her undoing.
Shadow ran her tongue down his rigid length, then up again and around his barbell. She sucked the head into her mouth, careful of the piercing. He wrapped her hair around his hand, gently guiding her, and she took more of him. Then, tightening her lips around him, she dragged free of his length. Soon, she found a rhythm, and the tendon on his neck strained as if he could barely hold on.
“Damn, Shadow, your mouth,” he rasped.
She would have smiled if she could. A little surer now, she worked him with her lips and tongue, taking him deeper, her fingers squeezing around the inches of his shaft she couldn’t quite reach with her mouth. Her other hand gently squeezed and massaged his balls.
“Fuck!” he groaned, his fingers tightening in her hair. His head kicked back, neck tendons taut, a delicious groan escaping him, the sound raw, hot and utterly masculine. Her man was just too damn sexy.
“No—” He eased out, then hauled her into his arms. “In you.”
He pressed her up against the shut bathroom door. As she wrapped her legs around him, his cock wet from her mouth, slid between her damp folds, and bumped her sensitive clit. God. Desire coiled her tighter.
She grasped his cock and pressed down on the thick, hard crown, and Nik’s gaze scorched hers. He gripped her hips and thrust up, breaching her tightness, sliding deep into her, stretching and filling her, until he bottomed out.
Her breath caught. Pleasure soared.
Growling, Nik kissed her deeply, possessively, sliding his tongue into her mouth, licking and sucking while working her body like a maestro—thrusting and retreating, taking her to the edge. She rocked on his cock, and then he angled his hips, his dick rubbing against her swollen clit, the friction skyrocketing her pleasure—her orgasm shot through her like a runaway freight.
“Ohhh, god!”she cried out, her fingers digging into his shoulders.
Nik pumped harder, faster, rocking into her, then he stiffened, and a sexy as hell groan escaped him as he found his own release.
“Damn,” he grunted a moment later, lowering his brow to her shoulder. “You undo me, Starshine. Every time…”

Shadow awakened to warm, noon sunlight filtering through the drawn drapes. She glanced to her other side where Nik rested close to her, on his front. Her gaze drifted over his inked biceps and down to the sheet riding low on his waist. She sighed in contentment, basking in Nik’s warm presence inside her—in their soul-bond. She glanced up to find him watching her from beneath his lashes.
A smile tugged her mouth. “Stop staring.”
