Page 60 of On a Barbarian World

She was falling for him.

God. A million emotions flooded her, leaving her mouth dry. Carefully, she slid out from under his arm and stood beside the bed. She wasn’t going to think about that right now. She padded across to the bathroom.

Once she’d finished freshening up, she headed back into the bedroom. Her steps slowed.

He was awake, propped up on the pillows, his gaze on hers.

His eyes were gleaming gold again.

She walked closer. “Your eyes…they change color, from amber to bright gold. I noticed it last night.”

“The nanami do it.” His gaze roamed her naked body. “It happens when our emotions are running high. We can’t control it.”

She stopped a few meters from the bed. He stayed there, lounging like some sultan waiting for the world to see to his desires.

“Good morning, Aurina.”

“Good morning, Kavon.” She swallowed. “I am so very happy you’re alive.”

“I’m happy about that as well.” He nudged the sheet off his body.

Her breath caught. Stars, the man was so well built. His erect cock was arching straight up, and she licked her lips.

He moved to the edge of the bed and set his feet on the floor. “Come here.”

Her pulse jumped. “Why?”

“You said you were happy to see I was alive. I want you to show me.”

She took a step toward him. Hell, she felt drawn to him. “What did you have in mind, warrior?”

“Get on your knees.”

The order should have rankled, but this wasn’t a battle of wills for him to recognize her opinions. No, this was something private and possessive, just between them. Most of all, this was for their pleasure. This time, the blunt words excited her.

“Kavon—”

His eyes glittered. “Please, Aurina.”

The words were harsh, rough, nothing pleading about them.

She closed the distance between them and fell to her knees between his strong legs.

Pressing her hands to his hard thighs, she dug her fingers into the muscles. They felt like rock. As she leaned toward that generous cock, she smelled the earthy scent of his arousal and felt herself grow even damper between her legs.

Leaning forward, she swirled her tongue around the thick head of his cock, and he groaned. She opened her mouth wide, sucking him in, then relaxed, opening wider for the broad shaft that followed.

“Aurina.” His voice was so guttural she could barely understand him. He slid his hands into her hair and rocked his hips forward, pushing farther into her mouth.

She moaned, and under her hands she felt the hard muscles in his thighs tighten. She loved the feel and taste of him, and even more, she loved driving her hard, controlled warrior wild. She bobbed her head and sucked harder.

Suddenly, with a growl, he pulled her off him and tossed her back on the bed.

He spun, rising above her, stroking his hard cock in his hand. Mesmerized, she watched those rough strokes, loved watching him pleasure himself.

But his hot, golden gaze was on her. Leaving no doubt how he felt.

Desire was a restless emotion inside her. Aurina slid her hand down between her legs, strumming her clit, her gaze on her warrior. She lifted her hips in a jerky rhythm, already feeling another orgasm shimmering close.
