longer feared.
Cass sighed as he laid her down on the bed and covered her, stroked her fingers through his hair and clung to him, a different sort of fear washing through her. She had been so afraid she would never see him again.
The way he held her to him, the desperate edge the kiss gained, said she wasn’t alone in that feeling either.
She kissed him deeper, her tongue tangling with his, losing herself in it and the feel of him holding her, in the emotions that rippled through her, ones she had thought she would never experience.
Gods, she loved this man.
He broke away from her lips and kissed down her neck, nipped at it and sent a shiver tripping along her nerves. She leaned her head back into the mattress and relaxed into it, sighed as he stripped her corset away and worshipped her breasts.
Cass lifted her arms above her head and closed her eyes, a smile working its way onto her lips as Daimon drifted lower, as he eased her leather trousers off. She shivered as he pressed kisses to her bare thighs, as his skin brushed hers and she realised he was naked. An electric thrill chased through her as he covered her again, skin-to-skin, and kissed her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and sighed into his mouth as he eased into her, as he withdrew and filled her again, his pace unhurried, stirring a deep sense of connection inside her. She had never felt anything like it.
Was sure she never would experience anything like it with anyone other than Daimon.
He kept saying that she had him, but gods, he had her too.
All of her.
Right down to her soul.
She stroked his shoulders as she kissed him, as his breaths mingled with hers and he thrust into her, feeling as if every part of them was connected.
Becoming one.
Release built achingly slowly and she savoured it, lost in the moment with him, feeling as if they were the only two people in the world.
When it swept over her, the depth of it rocked her, had her floating in his arms and never wanting to come down. She moaned into his mouth, each meeting of their bodies sending a fresh wave of pleasure through her, warmth that rolled over her again and again.
She swallowed his groan as he joined her, as he pulsed and throbbed in time with her.
His breath skated across her lips as he stilled inside her. He brushed his fingers through her hair, gazed down into her eyes with so much love in his that she melted a little.
She wanted to say something, but the words wouldn’t come.
All she could do was stare into his eyes, drowning in the love they held, warmed right down to her soul.
He skimmed the backs of his fingers across her cheek.
“I love you, Cass.”
Words she had never thought she would hear, and words she had never realised how badly she needed to hear from him.
“I love you too.” She choked a little on those four words, ones she had never thought she would say to anyone.
Ones that felt so right.
She never wanted to be without Daimon, and the love she had for him would last forever.
And a day.
His phone vibrated and she cursed it as he pulled out of her, as the peacefulness of the moment ebbed. He gave her a fine view of his backside as he went for his phone though. Delicious.
She smiled wickedly as she imagined smacking it.
He straightened and the screen lit up, illuminating his face.
He went deathly still.
“What is it?” She bolted upright, fearing her coven had somehow managed to find him and were already seeking retribution.
Daimon swallowed hard.
“Esher is back.”
Chapter 28
Daimon stepped the moment Cass was dressed and in his arms, his mind whirling as Ares’s message ran around it. It had only been four words.
Esher back. Code red.
Code red meant everyone had cleared out of the Tokyo mansion because Esher was liable to kill anyone who set foot in it.
Daimon landed in the front garden of the single-storey building and looked at Cass, painfully aware of the danger he was placing her in by bringing her with him. He hadn’t been able to stop himself. He couldn’t leave her in Hong Kong, where she was vulnerable to not only the Erinyes who wanted to get their hands on her, but her coven too. He was under no illusion that the witches weren’t going to try to take her back from him.
