‘Making sure my king is rested and that he repents for thinking I didn’t trust him,’ Sana said quietly, pulling my breeches down. With a coy smile playing on her lips, my world disappeared into her eyes.
‘And this is my punishment?’ I asked weakly.
‘Give yourself to me. Pretend this is the last night we have. Like there’s nothing in the world that can stand between us,’ she said, and stars burst under my closed eyes. ‘I want you, Rey. I want this night to matter.’
Sana was perfection. Wicked, beautiful, and deadly. There was a desperation in her voice that, whatever caused it, made me give her everything she wanted. As if reading my thoughts, she took my hand and placed it on her breast, pressing my fingers into her flesh. My cock jerked, hardening with desire. I fought the flood of arousal that threatened to strip away my reason because something didn’t feel right. The need in her eyes, the urgency in her touch. Why did Sana’s caresses feel so much like a goodbye?
‘Rey? Why are you holding back? I ache for your touch. Will you leave me wanting?’ Her voice carried a hesitancy I didn’t like.
I reached out, cradling Sana’s cheek with a tenderness I’d never felt for anyone but her. ‘Is there something you’re not telling me?’
She kissed my palm, closing her eyes. ‘Only that my body hurts without your touch.’
I could feel her fear, but, as I looked into my Viper’s eyes, I knew I couldn’t push for this secret. ‘My enchanting Vila, I would never let you suffer.’
My voice was gruffer than I intended, filled with the need to be her safe haven. Roksana’s smile faltered when I mentioned her origin, but I didn’t let it last. My thumb caressed her soft, bow-shaped lips. ‘Nothing – no secret, no challenge – will ever change how I feel.’
Sana smiled. ‘I hope you remember those words in the future.’ Her warm mouth wrapped around it, teeth nipping the calloused pad, sending exquisite pleasure through my body.
I couldn’t comprehend how this small, playful gesture turned me on so much, and fighting my nature turned into a challenge I wasn’t sure I could win. ‘You are forcing me to learn to trust you, and to trust myself, but right now, I want to learn what you desire. So tell me, what do you ask of me?’
‘Everything… I want a man who leapt onto a dragon to see me,’ she said, her hand sliding lower until she grasped my cock while her lips returned to my thumb and sucked on it hard.
‘Fuck.’ I ground my teeth, my body shaking, every muscle protesting the forced stillness this wicked woman seemed to enjoy.
‘Such eloquence, Your Majesty. Are you able to answer one last question?’ With one delicate squeeze of Sana’s fingers, my breath hitched. I reached out to gently comb through her hair, twisting her silky braid around my fingers, while her hand on my cock robbed me of my sanity.
‘Yes?’ The word came out more uncertain than I intended, her answering grin firming my resolve.
‘Will you take me…?’
Before the sentence finished, I claimed her mouth in a long, possessive kiss. There was no point in answering. I reached between her legs and nearly growled when moisture coated my fingers, numbing my senses to anything else but her. With each beat of my racing heart, my passion grew. I leaned back to the beauty before me, but was frustrated by the thin fabric of Sana’s nightgown.
‘You made me feral.’ I groaned, teeth nipping at her soft skin before my fingers gathered the delicate material, ripping the fabric apart with my bare hands.
‘Is that wrong?’ she asked, stretching out on the bed. My hand drifted to her throat, squeezing lightly. Sana moaned softly, her back arching, pressing harder against my hand. ‘Harder, please!’ The change from demand to supplication cracked my self-control, leaving me shuddering.
‘I don’t want to hurt you,’ I said, fighting my very nature as the Wild Magic burned through my veins.
‘Try me, kingling.’ Sana took hold of my wrist, refusing to let me pull back. ‘I’m not made of glass. I need your mark on me. I want you with me even when you’ve gone.’
The thought of scoring her skin, leaving teeth marks on her flesh, was my undoing. Our lips crashed together when I answered her call. ‘Anything you wish, my light. I’m yours to command,’ I whispered, letting the berserker in me take control.
‘I want to remember you just like this,’ she whispered, eyes half closed in desire. Her words took me by surprise, but before I could think, she pulled me down to her chest. A nipple hardened beneath my lips, an invitation for teasing. As soon as my mouth opened, Sanika’s back arched, moaning my name, and I lost myself, my tongue flicking out to taste her.
‘Louder, my Viper. Call your wolf to the hunt,’ I murmured, grazing the hardening bud with my teeth while my hand againreached between her legs. ‘Do you have any idea how wild you make me?’
Tremors overtook my body, muscles tensing when she called for me, begging for more, repeating my name like a prayer. I caressed the hardening nub between Sana’s folds with the lightest of touches, making her whimper and grind herself against my hand.
‘Fuck! I can’t…’ My plans to tease her until she came burned to ash with this vision before me. My woman, eyes fluttering closed, murmured desperately beneath my touch. Her scent wrapped around me, as sweet as summer wine…She is beautiful.The voice echoed in my head, but I pushed it away, unwilling to be distracted from the goddess in my arms.
I pulled back, a feral grin stretching my lips as Sana reached out, but instead of falling into her embrace, I caught her wrists and forced them above her head, trapping them there. I needed this woman, and, gods be my witness, I was painfully ready. The remains of Sana’s chemise became her shackles, the helpless struggles fuelling my desire. Slowly, deliberately, I grasped her ankles and placed them on my shoulders.
‘You’re so wet for me, Sanika,’ I said as I slid my cock between her folds while Sana twisted and turned, trying to force me inside.
‘Rey… please,’ she said, her voice raw and needy with desire.Gods, I need to ravage her.
‘Tell me you want this. Tell me that you’re mine and you can have it all.’ I was close to exploding right there, but I had to hear the words.
