as she finally sat. The fabric of her outfit parted around long shapely legs, coming together again just below the apex of her thighs.
His cock jerked at the sight and he wished she’d move this way a bit, only an inch more. She crossed her legs with a deliberate motion, causing the fabric to fold elegantly closed, but one slender thigh was revealed instead. Marik’s mouth went dry, while other parts of him sprang to life.
Her eyes gleamed with amusement and that alone gave her away.
Saucy chit .
Marik composed himself and tried to keep his eyes off her succulent pale skin.
Pale?
“ Your skin isn’t blue, like your male counterparts.” He shrugged and gave her a leering smile. “Not that I’m complaining. I’m not really partial to blue.”

“ How convenient for you.” Nadua had been nervous when she’d first walked in into the demon’s tent. So much so that she hadn’t been able to speak at first.
How could she have thought this was a good idea?
She felt like a fool coming here. It was unlikely the demon would be tempted by her. And this jaunt could end up being incredibly embarrassing if any of the guards discovered her plan. Doubts continued to swirl in her head and she had almost left without a word.
Then she’d seen lust in the demons eyes and knew she could pull this off.
“ Is that why you females need to cover your bodies? You haven’t adapted to your environment properly?”
Ass .
“ Oh th...we’ve adapted just fine.” She tried to make her voice sensual, but feared she was doing a poor job of it. “Why don’t you tell me a little about yourself?” She rubbed her crossed legs together for effect.
With alarming intensity, his gaze went directly to where she intended it to.
“ Well, let me think,” he began. “You already know I’m a demon, and I’m sure you’ve heard of the dangers of teasing one such as I.”
Nadua swallowed, but kept her back straight and suppressed her rising alarm. She could do this.
He continued. “I’m a great warrior...and a genius when it comes to preparing food. My favorite color is clear. And I love your legs. Why don’t you come closer so I can sink my teeth into them.”
Irritation flashed though her, but she tamped it down. “You are a very good fighter. My men can attests to that. You’ve been trained, obviously. I find that attractive.” Nadua was surprised at how steady her voice was as well as the accuracy of the statement. She rubbed the back of her fingers over her thigh. “I find myself wanting to know more about you. Perhaps we can...chat a little?”
He gave a slight nod, eyes riveted to her caressing movement. She could see by the bulge in his pants that her actions were inspiring the exact response she was going for.
Easy .
“ Can you tell me about the craft that brought you here?”
“ A shuttle’s a shuttle. What else do you need to know? It gets you where you’re going, and in many cases back again.”
“ And why did it bring you here?”
“ Look, I know what you’re doing.” His voice went guttural. “And you have no idea what you’re tempting here.”
“ Don’t I?” She was growing warm from the anxious rushing of her blood, induced by the knowledge of what she was about to do next. Somehow, she needed to calm herself down, but she was making progress with the demon. Stopping now was not an option.
She began removing her gloves, pulling at each finger and making sure he was watching as they slipped down her arm. Next came the shawl pelt that covered her shoulders and hid the deep V-neck of her outfit.
“ That’s better. You were saying?”
His teeth were grinding. Nadua couldn’t tell if that was a good thing or not. Her pulse spiked at her own actions and her cheeks warmed. Good thing the demon couldn’t see that.
“ Well, if you’re going to continue removing your clothing...perhaps we should have more logs brought in. Guard! More logs for the fire!”
“ Shh!” Nadua shot
