Since I couldn’t getover my embarrassment of what Kole and I planned to use the library’s chambers for—despite the fact that Nicholas seemed to think it a very natural request—I couldn’t look the gargoyle representative in the eye as he left Kole and me alone in a private suite.
Underground, there were no windows in the room, and the floor was made of stone. But the private suite had a large bathing chambers, a lit fire, and a huge bed. Everything about it was cozy and warm.
Nicholas had shown us how to ring for him once we were ready to fully depart from the library, but he hadn’t given us a timeline, and he hadn’t said we needed to be gone soon. And according to Kole’s calculations, we had almost an hour before we had to slip through the fae lands’ portal door to make my curfew.
And an hour was plenty of time to feed off the virile warrior.
I eyed the bed again and thought of what Kole was offering to do there. My body began to hum with awareness of the warm, achingly beautiful male who was my mate.
“Primelle.” Kole’s husky use of my name heated me all over, and it felt as though it lapped at my insides. “Look at me.”
I turned around, my eyes widening, because already the warrior was stripping his shirt off.
I gazed at his naked slabbed chest with wonder. He was huge. Strong. Smooth. Andmine.
Cut muscles graced his body, yet he wasn’t bulky or awkward in his strength. He was built like a predator, all savage lines and sinewy angles. Veins bulged in his neck and forearms, and everything about him was defined. And his blood... It smelled so sweet.Soaddictive.
My attention dropped lower to his impressive cock, already straining against his breeches, and my mouth flooded with venom once more. He removed his pants readily, and my eyes dilated of their own accord.
Kole stood naked before me. He was beautiful. Magnificent. A perfect fae male specimen.
My thoughts scattered, and all I could focus on was his hard shaft, already throbbing and ready, and the strong whoosh of his blood pulsing in his throat.
“I don’t want to hurt you,” I whispered, but my words sounded slurred since I was speaking around my lengthened fangs.
“You won’t.”
He took a step closer to me, his cock bobbing with the movement, and his scent flooded my senses. Pine, cedar, and the sea. His scent intoxicated me. Enraptured me.
Before I knew what I was doing, I was in front of him, and he was peeling my satin gown off. He lowered it inch by inch, seeming to savor every new area that was exposed.
When my breasts popped out of the top, my nipples pebbled in the cool air. He growled low in his throat with a hum of satisfaction. “Such perfect tits.”
He cupped them, and even though my skin was cool, he didn’t seem to mind.
The warm firelight crackled, and the room dipped into shadows. His hands moved up and down my curves, and the need in me coiled, spiked, and was just waiting to beunleashed.
But I held myself carefully frozen, too afraid that I would do something unforgivable.
As if sensing my hesitation, Kole whispered into my ear, “I’ll give you whatever you need. I’m yours to take. Yours tofuck. Yours to drink from. Take what you need, Princess. Take it all. I’ll gladly give it to you.”
My body jolted when his lips found my throat. He kissed me slowly, and his mouth moved over my skin in a way that tasted and caressed simultaneously.
A breathy moan escaped me, and I arched into him. Simultaneously, thewantin me increased. I kept picturing myself straddling Kole, of sinking onto his thick shaft, while he tilted his head and gave me easy access to his throat.
A rumble vibrated through his chest, and his hands cupped my arse. His length pressed into my belly. So hard. Soready.
Wetness flooded me, my core dripping.
“You smellveryaroused, Princess. Are you needing something from your warrior?”
I gasped. I felt every line of him. Every taut angle. “Kole,” I whispered pleadingly, still holding myself back.
“I’m here, sweetheart.” He kissed my neck again. “It’s going to feel so good. You take what you need.” He lifted me slightly, so easily. His strength was unparalleled.
Automatically, my thighs parted, and I wrapped my legs around his waist.
The head of his cock brushed against my entrance, and he rubbed himself there, teasing me, and my fingers sank into his shoulders.
