Holy fuck, did she ever

That kiss they’d been denied a short while ago only nite all the hotter now

Their mouths joined in undeniable need, Zael ski her sides She shivered as he slid his palms under her blouse and onto the soft, bare skin of her torso

The intricate lines of her glyphs throbbed beneath his fingertips, war Unearthly and alive Their pattern created a tee--one he craved to folloith his tongue

He wanted to uncover and devour every sweet inch of her body

But first, he wanted to hear her say the words

"Now tell ainst her kiss-swollen lips

As he spoke, Zael reached around her and deftly unfastened her bra The lacy cups slackened, freeing her naked breasts into his hands She sighed deeply as he caressed her Moaned sharply as he rolled the tight beads of her nipples between his fingers

"Tellthis as asp tore out of her without resistance, but it wasn’t good enough

Pushing her shirt and bra out of the way, he bent his head and pulled one rosy nipple into his ue and lips lyphs intensify, their patterns churning and transforainst hied her fingers into his hair, her legs tre beneath her

The scent of her arousal filled his nostrils Spicy and sweet Ethereal and bold Like earth and heaven coh he had beddedlifetime, he had never been with a woined he could want any woman the way he wanted Brynne

The cynical part of hia new diversion But if that had been the case, he never would have denied her back in London Refusing her had been one of the hardest things he’d ever done And he wasn’t about to let her act as if he was alone in that torment

"Tell me you want ht on that dance floor Nohen there’s no whisky to hide behind Nothing but you and me, and the truth between us"

He skated one hand down the length of her body, into the parted cleft of her thighs The tiny scrap of black silk that covered her sex was soaked and so hot against Zael’s fingertips he groaned with the need to touch her, to taste her…to brand himself on all of her senses

He cupped his hand over herbeneath her panties to the silken heat of her naked folds Her sex was slick and lush, her juices coating his fingertips as he caressed her swollen folds and the hardened bud of her clit

"Tell me now," he said, "when you can’t take it back later or tellyou feel this need too"

She whih her as he stroked her wet satin flesh He teased the tight entrance of her sex, stopping just shy of penetration, despite that her thighs claht around his hand in unspoken demand

He wanted to hear her admit the truth out loud, once and for all

"Say it, Brynne Tellto feel ht outside on that terrace last week"

She lanced up to find her eyes blazing with fiery aleamed from behind the plush line of her upper lip

She was beautiful under normal circumstances, but like this, she was primal and otherworldly, so fiercely sexy that she defied any description

Holding his gaze, Brynne licked her lips and the truth boiled out of her in a single word "Yes"
