Lord of Destiny (The Dragon Demigods #6) - Charlene Hartnady Page 0,62
my dick doesn’t take note. I know it’s the worst possible time, but it can’t be helped. She’s incredibly beautiful. I think in any situation, I will always take note of that fact.
I scan the area while she wades into the water just a few feet from the overhang. I turn back and savor the sight of her ducking under the water and then coming up to wash.
I go from hard to throbbing. I have to work to keep all my wits about me despite being more turned on than I think I have ever been before. I can’t let my cock be our downfall. That won’t happen.
I wade in next to Raven as she is finishing up. I keep my eyes off her. It’s tough, but I manage to focus on the job at hand. I watch the sky and listen hard while Raven drinks. Then our roles are reversed, and Raven is keeping a look-out. Minutes later, we are sprinting for the cover of the trees.
As soon as we reach the undergrowth, we slow, being more careful not to make any noise. There are exposed roots, patches of leaves and fallen twigs and branches.
Raven stops. I note that her chest is rising and falling a little quicker. She’s not making so much as a sound. We stand close. Her nipples are a hair’s breadth away from my chest.
“I guess this is it,” she says.
“I don’t like it.” I shake my head. “But I can’t think of a better idea.” My words are barely a whisper.
She nods and mouths, “I’ll fly slow. I’ll make sure they see me. I’ll head east. Once they are closing in, you need to make a run for it in the opposite direction. Best case scenario, you’ll make a clean break. Worst case…there will be fewer of them after you. You might get a slight head-start. You have to escape! You hear me?”
I nod. “You give me the gap I need, and then you fly like you’ve never flown before. You get away. Don’t linger. Don’t take any unnecessary risks.” I cup her jaw with both hands.
“I won’t.” She looks into my eyes.
“I mean it, Raven.” My heart is beating. I’m terrified for her. If we stay here, there’s a chance we’ll both be caught. We need to make a move. The patrols seem to be flying more often. They’re getting lower…more deliberate. We don’t have much more time.
Raven kisses me. There’s desperation in her touch. Need. So much emotion. Fear. A whole lot of fear. Then there’s something else. I’m feeling it too. All of it.
I moan softly, my arm circling her, dragging her closer. I moan again, it’s barely audible. Still, it’s filled with a raging need. All her curves are against me. Her nipples are hard pebbles.
Both my hands close over her lush ass. I squeeze, breaking the kiss. I put my mouth to the shell of her ear. “You need to tell me to stop.”
The little minx rubs up against me. “I can’t.”
“I shouldn’t have fucked you before. I definitely shouldn’t do it now,” I whisper softly. “We could get caught with our pants down.”
“We don’t have pants,” she whispers, her hand slides between us and closes around my cock.
I think we both realize that this could be it for us. The end of the road. We could be captured, killed, mated to other people. Best case scenario, we both escape, and Raven and her crew leave at the first opportunity. She’s made it clear that they won’t be sticking around.
This.
Is.
It.
More than likely, our last chance. It isn’t just lust. At least, I can say that for myself. I’m not entirely convinced that I’m not a rebound fuck for her. I realize it. I’ll still take it. I’ll take what I can get. I’ll savor it. I’ll savor her.
I close a hand around her breast, feeling all her fullness. I rub a finger over her tight nipple.
“I want you,” she whispers. “Need you,” she adds.
I nod. “So bad,” I whisper. “Quiet,” I warn. “They’ll be back soon.”
I feel her nod since her cheek is against mine. She tugs on my cock, from base to tip. I have to hold back a groan of epic proportions.
This woman.
Raven.
We need to be careful. I pull back and look around us. There are a couple of big trees to the side of us. One of them is arched to the side. I turn Raven around in that direction, and we head to the tree.
