He growled softly, fighting back the urge to mark her as his. It was an instinct not easily shoved down, but one he was growing intimately more familiar with.
Acadia’s nails dug into his pecs as she drew on the sexual energy.
Fuck. Just the sight of her was enough to send him spiraling closer and closer to that blissful explosion that would sate him, albeit temporarily.
Acadia whimpered. “Kaj…”
He was gearing up to send them both into hyperspace when another blast of energy nearly knocked him over.
Acadia screamed, her sex clutching him, milking his cock as her hands fell from his chest.
He leaned forward, his mouth hovering over hers. “Kiss me,” he demanded.
She did. And Heaven have mercy on his soul, Kaj felt that kiss through his entire being. A cataclysmic mating of bodies ensued as Acadia took as much as she gave. He drilled into her. Hard, fast, deep. Over and over with startling force and overwhelming power. It wasn’t so much sex as it was a claiming. His body, hers. His soul, hers.
When Kaj pulled his mouth away, it was to stare down into her face. He wanted to see the submission in her eyes.
“Tell me,” he growled. “Who do you belong to, Acadia?”
“You,” she whimpered.
“Say my name,” he demanded, punctuating the words with vicious thrusts that rocketed them both closer to orgasm.
“Kaj.”
“Say it,” he insisted.
“I belong to you, Kaj. Only you.”
Her admission was what sent him over. The rumble tore up from his throat, an animalistic sound that no doubt could be heard for miles preceded the explosive orgasm. His. Hers.
When his body stilled, their eyes remained locked. Kaj sensed her need to retreat, and he respected it, but he wasn’t willing to let go just yet. Been there, done that, didn’t fucking like it the first time. It had been selfish of him to back her into that corner, to force her to say the words aloud, but he didn’t regret it. Deep down, he knew Acadia belonged to him. But it would take time before she was willing to accept it fully.
Rather than walk away the way she wanted, Kaj rolled them so that she was straddling him, his cock still buried to the hilt inside her.
“Now it’s your turn,balisra. Take me, Acadia.”
And she did.
Orianna wasn’t startled when she was awokenby the soft mechanical whir. Not when the drapes started their tedious retraction or the interior shutters unlocked and began their slow, methodical ascent and not when the outer ones followed suit. In the short time she’d been at the mansion, she’d gotten familiar with the sounds of the day giving way to night, the mansion coming alive with those who were forced to live in darkness.
“Have you ever been in the sun?” she asked Eclipse, trailing her finger over his bare chest as they lay in his big bed.
“No.”
“I assume there’s no sun in Heaven?”
“It’s always light there and it maintains a consistent temperature, but not from the sun, no.”
“You said you’ve been here … on Earth … for fifteen hundred years, right?” Just saying the words brought a smile to her face. It seemed so outrageous to think of Eclipse as an angel, having existed for an eternity. It made her wonder if his memories extended back that far. Could he remember the events of his life so long ago?
“Correct.”
“And before that?”
“I was training.” His hand came up and covered hers where it rested over his heart.
“For?”
