sheen of sweat coated her already, and dragged his teeth against the soft give of her stomach and hip. EJ tensed and her head popped up to look at him, her green eyes wide and suddenly nervous.
He moved her to where he wanted her, near the headboard, and lay on his elbows between her thighs. She breathed hard, those lovely breasts moving enough to drag his attention away from what he wanted to do, but didn’t stop him as he lowered his head and breathed against her slick folds.
Nokx rubbed his jaw against her thigh, nipping the sensitive flesh until she jumped, and teased her entrance with the tip of his finger. He hadn’t been with an Earther before but looked forward to the challenge of making her climax until she couldn’t move. He rubbed his chin in the delicate curls at the apex of her thighs, watching her face as he did so. He kept her gaze locked to his as he lowered his mouth and trailed his tongue down.
She almost jumped off the bed. EJ dug her heels into the mattress. She moaned again as he slowly familiarized himself with all of her, learning the spots and pressure and suction that got the biggest reactions. He found a pattern, a rhythm, that had her moving her hips to meet him, to search out more of his mouth and hand. Nokx backed off time and again when her movements turned jerky and desperate, waiting as the flush rose across her chest and then faded, and knew it was cruel to torment her. He couldn’t help himself. She was beautiful as it was, but to see her naked and writhing with pleasure was... exquisite. It was almost enough to send him over the edge himself.
Her head tossed on the pillow and she reached over her head to hold on to the bed, her whole body straining. “Please. Please, Nokx.”
He groaned and lost what remained of his control. He watched every moment of her response as he sucked hard on her flesh and slid his fingers deep into her channel. EJ sucked in a breath and her body arched away from the bed, all of her muscles tensing in response, and a low, guttural moan ripped from her throat as she shook and bucked and nearly came apart in his hands.
Nokx took a savage pride in seeing her undone. He didn’t slacken the pressure against her sensitive bud, and thrust his fingers in and out as she rode a long wave of aftershocks. EJ panted and moved to meet him, then tensed and her face twisted and he feared she might have had a seizure or some emergency. But no... the flush raced through her again, brighter red, and EJ twisted, her thighs clamped hard against his head as her hips pushed against his mouth in jerky, demanding thrusts.
His fingers bit into her ass to hold her in place, but she fought against him until she panted, “Wait. Wait.”
Nokx retreated, but only his mouth. He kept his fingers buried in her slick channel, reveling in the sensation of her body tightening around him, and gazed up the length of her body as she lay limp on the tangled sheets. He loved the way she tasted, the sounds she made, the way she moved against him. He’d only gotten a small introduction to mating with an Earther, and he wanted more. He wanted all of it. He wanted all of her, forever.
Chapter 13
EJ
EJ couldn’t breathe. Stars dotted her vision and she forgot how to breathe and she might have passed out. He played her body as skillfully as a musician, wringing out every possible iota of ecstasy with his fingers and mouth, until she couldn’t move. Until her skin was so sensitive every breath and murmur from him sent more tremors racing through her. She wet her lips, blinking to clear the haze from her vision. She wanted to see him, after all. She wanted to enjoy every moment of being in his bed, of having him over her.
He was more attentive than she’d expected for a barbarian. Nokx teased her to climax over and over, yet did nothing for himself. When she finally recovered, she realized that he still lay between her legs and had moved one up and out so he could examine the inside of her knee and down the length of her calf.
She felt very exposed, but it was a little late to start being shy. Nokx’s hand
