“Please,” she said, reaching for him again. “I want you to touchme.”
He covered her body with his, and Tariel moaned at the skin-to-skin contact. This was the first time their bodies had touched without any barrier between them, and she wanted to wrap her arms around him and hold him close, savoring the feel of his hard, muscular frame molding to hersoftness.
But Yarim did not stay there for long. He went to work on her with his hands and mouth, exploring every swell and crevice of her body. He worshipped her breasts for a good long time, lavishing attention on her sensitive nipples, but he spent time on other areas too, seeking out sensitive spots that Tariel didn’t even know she had. Her body quaked and shivered with each hot, sensual touch, until she felt that every single part of her body was awake and screaming formore.
“Ahh,” he said, finally sinking a hand between her thighs. Tariel whimpered as the tips of his fingers grazed her folds, sending little shocks of pleasure through her. “You’re so wet,” he growled, sliding two fingers inside her. “I bet you’re burning for me, aren’t you,Tariel?”
“Yes,” she moaned, arching into him. But he used his free hand to hold her hips down, refusing to let her drive the pace. “Please,” she whimpered. “More.”
Tariel expected him to thrust his fingers in and out of her, but instead he curled them in, pushing against her inner walls. Her eyes flew wide as he hit a hidden sweet spot, sending an unexpected jolt of pleasure throughher.
“Found it.” He grinned, his face lighting up. “Do you likethat?”
“Yes!” she gasped, fisting her hands in the bedroll. “Can you do itagain?”
He laughed, then flexed his fingers again, rapidly repeating the motion. Tariel bucked wildly against his hand, mindlessly seeking the intense waves of sensation he created with each press of his fingers. She had already been pleasantly surprised by how good sex with Riann and Calrain was, but what Yarim was doing to her right now far surpassed herexpectations.
“Come for me,” he growled, pressing his thumb against the sweet spot hidden in her folds. The combination was too great for Tariel to resist, and she shattered, screaming his name so loud she knew Riann and Calrain would have heard if not for the privacy bubble. Her body shook from the force of her climax, her vision blurred, and her legs went completelyboneless.
“Excellent,” Yarim said, and she could hear the grin in his voice. “Let’s see how many times we can dothat.”
Tariel blinked, trying to rise onto her elbows. “I—” she began, but Yarim lowered himself between her legs, spreading them wide. Tariel groaned as his hot mouth closed over her sex, licking and sucking at her until her head fell back against the bed roll, her body surrendering itself to him. She wanted him inside her, and yet she was powerless to resist as he brought her to climax again and again, using nothing but his hands and hismouth.
“Please,” she begged after he’d sent her over the edge for the fifth time, “I wantyou.”
He raised a dark eyebrow. “What part of me do you want?” he asked, a challenge in hisvoice.
Tariel met his gaze boldly. “Your cock,” she said, shaping her lips around the word for the first time. “Inside me. Now.” She knew he expected her to stammer like a shrinking violet, and even though she was still fairly innocent, she refused to give him thesatisfaction.
He laughed. “Spoken like a true mage.” He crawled up her body. “There is nothing more attractive to me than a woman who is not afraid to tell her man what she wants,” he said in a voice that was puresin.
He thrust inside her then, and Tariel moaned his name as pleasure rippled through her. His cock stretched and filled her completely, briefly satisfying the deep ache pulsing at her core. Gasping, she wrapped her legs around his hips and drew him even deeper insideher.
“Gods,” he groaned, his eyelids sliding to half-mast. His face hovered just above hers, taut with strain. “I almost let go right then and there. No woman has ever done that to mebefore.”
Tariel’s heart swelled with pride at those words. “I suppose you’d better get moving then,” she suggested, digging her nails into his shoulderblades.
“Indeed.” He gave her a wolfish smile as he pulled out, nearly all the way, until only the tip of him remained inside her. Tariel watched with bated breath as he hung there for a moment, expecting him to slam back into her. But instead, he merely teased her with shallow thrusts, just missing her sweet spot eachtime.
“Stop torturing me,” Tariel growled. She hooked her ankles at the small of his back. “Unless you don’t intend on making it out of this tent with your partsintact.”
Yarim’s shoulders shook with laughter, but then he gasped as Tariel squeezed her legs, pushing him deep inside her. His violet eyes sparked with fiery lust, and he bit down on Tariel’s neck as he increased the pace, slamming all the way into her with eachthrust.
“Yes,” Tariel groaned, losing herself to the frenzy. They made love with a wild ferocity, bodies grinding, nails clawing, lips mashing, until Tariel could barely remember who she wasanymore.
When the climax finally hit them, it blindsided Tariel completely, drenching her in sensation. Yarim shouted her name, finding his release, and pure power spilled from her, stronger than anything she’d ever felt before. The bond snapped into place, intensifying her pleasure and deepening her affection as her new lover’s thoughts and feelings washed overher.
“That…” Yarim croaked, his eyes shining as he pulled back to look at her. His entire body was glowing, and he looked reborn. “I’ve heard the stories of what happens when a man joins a mage’s harem, but I never thought it would be like this. I feel like a newman.”
Tariel beamed up at him. “And I feel like a new woman.” She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close. Indeed, she felt different now that a third bond pulsed within her. She could feel Yarim’s awe and reverence as intensely as if it were her own, mingled with pleasure andsatisfaction.
There was no question about it now. He washers.
“I could stand to do that again,” Yarim said, nuzzling her neck. Tariel laughed, but she could already feel him growing hard again. Was there no end to this man’sstamina?
She opened her mouth to ask Yarim that very question when Calrain barged into the tent, his eyes wild. “Tariel!”
“What is it?” Tariel shot upright, pushing Yarim off her. Calrain’s face was white with fear, and when he did not react even the slightest bit at the sight of her bare breasts, her stomach went leaden. Something was very wrong. “Where isRiann?”
