Filling his hand with the smooth warmth of her breast, Eclipse pressed up against her. The flash boil that had been his hormones dropped to simmer in an instant, offering a modicum of relief and an opportunity for them to explore. Not that it lasted long. The moment Orianna’s hands began to slide over his shoulders, down his chest, wandering and teasing, the flames licked at him once more, but this he could handle. This he knew what to do with.

“I don’t know what that was,” Orianna moaned, tilting her head to the side as he dragged his lips along the smooth column of her neck. “I felt like… It just hit me all of a sudden. I needed you. Desperately.” She cupped his head, holding his mouth to her neck. “And then there you were.”

He groaned low in his throat when those deft fingers on her other hand curled around his shaft, stroking him firmly.

“Careful,” he warned, sliding his lips along her jaw. “It’ll be over before it gets started.”

“I need to feel you,” she moaned, trying to get closer. “Inside me. It’s… There’s an emptiness…”

“We’ll get there,” he assured her.

Orianna pulled back, glared at him. “Now, Eclipse. Right now.”

He laughed when she attempted to take over, pushing him to his back as she threw one leg over his hips, positioning herself where they both wanted her to be.

Using the chair’s contour to his advantage, Eclipse shifted so he was reclining, able to see every glorious curve of her body, every sinful shift of her as she guided his cock between her thighs. His gaze dropped lower, another rumble sounding in his chest as her slick heat coated the sensitive tip seconds before she angled for penetration.

“Fuck…” he groaned at the same time she whimpered.

The smooth walls of her sex clutched him intimately as she eased over him, a slow, steady blanket of heat coating him, the glorious caress tightening his muscles, pleasure assaulting every nerve ending. Fucking hell, she felt good like this, owning him as she worked herself down inch by amazing inch. His groin tightened, the intensity of her heat surging through him. It wasn’t until he was buried to the hilt that she relaxed somewhat, her movements slowing as her eyes locked with his.

“This what you need?” he asked, planting his hands firmly on her hips and rocking her gently so as not to let the friction abate.

“God, yes.”

Eclipse could do nothing more than watch as she took her pleasure from him. Orianna maintained control, swinging her hips forward and back, slow and easy at first, her eyes caressing his chest as she found a rhythm that suited them both. He didn’t move to rush her, simply chose to observe and enjoy. It had been a hectic, emotional night, and this … being with her like this was more than he could’ve ever hoped for. Which, now that he thought about it, was the same thing he reflected on anytime he was with her. Such a treasure she was, and his life … he could no longer imagine a world without her in it.

Careful not to affect the rhythmic thrust of her hips, Eclipse slid his hands upward, beyond the curve of her waist, pausing to knead her full breasts. Her skin was so warm, so soft, but it was the way she leaned into him, encouraging him to take what she was offering that stole his breath.

“Yes,” she whimpered. “Touch me. Don’t stop touching me.”

“Never,sezari.”

Eclipse would’ve been content to do this for a lifetime, watching her ride him, working herself on the thick ridge of his erection, using his body to sate hers. He’d never experienced anything like it before, never felt so fucking complete until she’d walked into his life. Now that she was here with him, Eclipse knew there was no going back.

The minutes stretched out as she ground herself on him. No rush, only unadulterated ecstasy warming them both, causing perspiration to dot their skin as the sensations intensified.

When Orianna tipped her head back, her hand sensually sliding up her neck, he was fixated on the movement, the way her fingers gently caressed the puncture marks he’d left the last time he’d fed from her. His fangs elongated, his jaw throbbing as hunger took over. It wasn’t so much that he needed to feed, but there was a desperation that bordered on bloodlust. What he’d taken from her recently hadn’t been nearly enough to sate him, and it seemed his brain was kicking over to survival mode.

Dropping his hands to her hips, Eclipse focused on guiding her movements while rocking up into her.

“More,” he urged. “Take more of me,sezari.”

She opened her eyes and looked at him. It took tremendous effort and ridiculous strength to hold her stare rather than pull her toward him so he could sink his fangs into her neck.

As though she knew what he needed—and perhaps she did—Orianna slowed the delicious grind as she moved her hair to one side.

“Will you feed from me?” she whispered.

He swallowed hard, his fangs throbbing incessantly.

Her blue eyes were as hot as gas flames, her words a rough rasp against his senses when she said, “I want you to feed, Eclipse. And I want to feel you come inside me when you do.”

A desperate growl raced up his throat, but he managed to hold himself back, keeping his hands firmly on her hips, his fingers digging into the soft flesh.

Orianna leaned forward until her breasts were crushed to his chest. She rested against him, her forehead on his shoulder, her hips once again undulating. Her back arching and bowing, a sensual flow as her body glided perfectly along his. It wasn’t until her hand slid behind his head, guiding his lips toward her neck, that Eclipse opened his mouth, his fangs descending more as the thrum of her blood in her veins beckoned him.

“Hold still for me,” he growled.
