intelligent female than he was accustomed to. Years of slavery
had worn down most of the women he’d known. “When Zoen comes, you will understand more,” he said, leaving his explanation vague.
She
sat up. “You make no sense, Jaxt .” She scrubbed her
hands through her multi-colored hair, making it stand up on one side. She
looked beautiful. More beautiful than anything he’d ever seen before.
“I
swear, you say these cryptic things to me just to get me riled up,” she
continued, waking up more with every word.
Jaxt listened to her quiet rant, then leaned over and kissed her to shut her up.
She
didn’t take it well. He hadn’t expected her to, so he was prepared. He already
had his good hand in her hair, holding her head tightly.
“ Shh .”
She
jerked her face back, but didn’t get very far. “ Shh ?
Don’t you shush me! ”
He
let his tongue test the air. Good. She wasn’t afraid of him. She was … aroused?
His gums ached as his fangs slipped out. She was perfect. Absolutely
perfect.
“Sky, shhh ,” he said again, right before he touched his
lips to hers.
****
Sky
nearly punched him when he kissed her the second time, but something told her
he wouldn’t react very well if she did that. Besides, haven’t you been wanting him to touch you like this ever since he
stopped acting like an asshole? a small voice
chided her.
Shut
up, she told herself, opening her
mouth. He had her hair in his fist and was squeezing just the way she liked, so
she rewarded him by kissing him back. His tongue slipped between her lips and
she thought the fork would disgust her, but when he began to use the tips
independently, she knew she was a goner. He kissed like a demon. Like an
expert. She made a small sound, and he deepened the kiss, devouring her like
there was no tomorrow. No yesterday.
She
didn’t protest when he hauled her onto his lap, just wound her fingers into his
hair and held on. He was much bigger than she was, so for the first time in her
life, she felt delicate. She had to figure out how to avoid cutting herself on
his fangs, but the added danger only made her burn hotter.
“Fuck,”
she muttered when he finally let her up for air.
He
gripped her hair harder, pulling her head back. “Not now,” he said, voice low.
She
shuddered, her sex hot and already wet. “Then kiss me again,” she demanded.
His
eyes narrowed at her.
“ Jaxt .”
He
growled and pulled her closer, using her hair as leverage. “Say my name again.”
She
smiled, inhaling the hot cinnamon scent of him. “ Jaxt .” She leaned down and bit his lip. Hard. “ Jaxt .”
He
groaned and bit her back. A tiny nick on her lower lip stung, and his eyes went
wide. Before she could figure out what happened, he licked her, his whole body
going taut.
Shit!
His legs, she thought suddenly,
pushing at his shoulders.
He
didn’t let her go. Instead, he sucked her lower lip into his mouth and worried
at it. Sky clenched her legs around him tighter as sparks shot through her. His
cock pressed against her pussy, and even through both layers of their clothes
she could feel his heat.
“ Jaxt ,” she breathed, clutching his biceps. “Your legs.”
He
paused, then chuckled into her mouth. “Do not worry
about my legs, sweet Sky.”
“I’m
not sweet.” She dug her fingers into his skin. “And I don’t want to hurt you.”
He
pulled back and grinned. “You could not hurt me if you tried.”
That
pissed her off. She glared at him and slid her hand down to his injured arm,
holding her fingers just above the break. “Don’t be an asshole.”
He
pursed his lips, black eyes glittering in the firelight. “Kiss me again, stormy
Sky.”
She
cursed under her breath when his words turned her insides to jelly. What the
hell kind of woman was she to be feeling like this? For a Xyran , no less?
“You
think too much,” he said, just before he took her mouth again.
Sky
gave up trying to control the situation. Clearly her body had
