nape of my neck, yanking me into him. My hands fly to his warm chest, and I moan into his mouth at the feel of his hot, smooth skin beneath mine. He’s all hard muscle and pure unadulterated male. His other hand grips and kneads at the flesh of my hip and backside. The pads of his fingers on his free hand toy with the material of my shirt as he slowly drags it up over my head. My first instinct is to curl in on myself, but when he glances down at my chest, he growls like a wild animal, taking in the see-through lace demi-cup bra. Taking one of the straps, he slides it down my shoulder, his eyes following the movement. He lets it hang there, his fingers toying with the tantalizing soft skin of the top of my breast. My breathing is ragged. That and the sound of my pounding heart are all that echoes around us.
When Endymion finally meets my eyes, my core clenches painfully, and my mouth drops open in a gasp. He’s eye-fucking me. There is no better way to put it. The emerald green in his eyes is burning and licking at my flesh as he sweeps his gaze across my face. And Jesus, I’ve never wanted anything more than his mouth on me. Almost as if he can read my innermost thoughts, Endymion tugs on the other strap of my bra, causing the cups to peel down and expose my nipples. The points harden immediately at his heated gaze and the cool air.
“You are fucking beautiful, Selene,” he murmurs appreciatively, rubbing the pad of his thumb back and forth against my nipple. A moan falls past my lips without permission, and it seems to spur him on. With a growl, End drops down, taking my breast into his mouth, and I become putty in his hands. The moans that spill from my lips are embarrassingly loud. But he doesn’t seem to mind.
Heat swirls through my stomach, tugging at that place deep inside me. I’m struggling to catch my breath. The way his tongue is swirling and his teeth are nibbling at the hardened peak is driving me wild. My sex clenches, demanding to be taken care of.
“End-d, we can’t,” I pant out, still trying to hang on to some sense.
“Tell me you don’t want this, Selene. Tell me, and I’ll stop. But just know, if you say no, this is it, Selene. I won’t be toyed with. I’ve shown my hand; now show me yours.”
“I can’t say no,” I whisper. “Not after years of waiting for this.”
“Neither can I.” Swooping down, he takes my mouth again, his hands sliding under my backside, kneading the globes. He hauls me into his arms, and my legs wrap around his waist of their own accord. Our mouths fuse, and I shamelessly grind my center against him. “Jesus Christ,” he rumbles between heated kisses.
His mouth trails down my neck, sucking and nipping at the skin there. Before I realize what’s happening, I’m dropped back onto his bed, and he strips me of my clothes. When End drops to his knees before me, spreading my legs, I throw myself back, gripping the comforter in anticipation. His mouth continues its tormented path, leaving its mark until he’s kneeling at my feet, his warm breath fanning over my hot center.
“End,” I breathe, thrusting my hips toward his face in an uncontrollable motion. The need burning inside me is combustible, searing me from the inside out. He spreads me open for his viewing, taking a long, leisurely lick of my most intimate part.
“Oh, God!” The heated whimper flees me, my legs trembling as desire floods every part of my body.
“Easy, baby,” he croons, gripping my thighs to keep me from crumbling to pieces.
With slow, methodical movements, he trails kisses up and down my thigh, toying with me. He kisses me everywhere except the one place I really need his mouth again.
“Please.”
That must be the magic word because his tongue does a long swipe down my center and swirls around my clit, causing my back to arch off the bed. His licks are slow and attentive, and the skill, the finesse with which he eats me with should make me angry, but I’m not. I’m suddenly thankful. He flutters his tongue over my folds, and my back bows. Sliding a long digit inside me, he strokes my inner walls, toying with me, hitting someplace deep inside me that has me
