powers and a form specifically designed for seduction. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be ambitious, but maybe we should focus on one step at a—oh.”

His hand had skimmed over my panties, grazing my clit at the perfect angle to provoke another gasp. Snap gave me a grin that might have had a hint of the incubus’s smirk to it and repeated the motion. Then his long, lithe fingers dipped lower, and curiosity came back into his expression. “You’re wet.”

“Yeah,” I said. “That means you’re already doing an excellent job of making good on your ambitions.”

He pressed between my legs more firmly, setting off a pulse of pleasure, and I bit my lip. I ran my hand down his chest to make my own exploration of his lean frame. This shirt definitely needed to go. As I pulled at it, he released me just long enough to help remove it.

With all that divinely toned muscle bared, Snap leaned toward me. He hummed happily at the sweep of my fingers over that terrain and returned his attention to my sex.

The unmistakable evidence of his own arousal showed in the bulge below the waist of his pants. There was the involuntary response that had started us down this unexpected path. It shouldn’t go untended to.

I teased my fingers over the bulge, and this time it was Snap who sighed. His hips shifted nearer to me, seeking out that contact. I stroked him again, harder, and he burrowed his face into the crook of my neck. His teeth nicked the sensitive skin there with a shudder of breath.

“That sensation… makes it very hard to think,” he said.

I laughed lightly. “The point of doing this isn’t to think. It’s to feel. And you can feel a hell of a lot more than this, if you’ll let me show you.”

He nodded into my hair and then raised his head to claim my mouth. The roughness of his kiss and the friction of his hand still fondling me through my panties left my head spinning. I managed to focus enough to curl my fingers around his erection through the fabric for a better grip.

He swayed into my hand with each pump up and down, chasing the pleasure I was paying him back with. At my nudge, he tipped with me so we lay on the bed next to each other. I squirmed even closer into his kiss and his touch.

Maybe it was best if we stuck to hands for this first spin around the block. Much simpler than navigating the mechanics of full-on sex, especially when Snap could hardly be prepared for the intensity of those sensations. I could already tell he’d get me off just fine like this. Hell, I wasn’t sure how much longer I’d last as it was.

I found the wherewithal to jerk the zipper of his pants down and discovered Thorn wasn’t the only one for whom dressing didn’t come automatically. Snap hadn’t bothered with any kind of underwear. He probably hadn’t realized they were a standard part of a mortal outfit. How would a shadowkind know, after all, if no one had happened to mention it? It wasn’t as if he’d had to consider clothes at all where he’d come from.

For now, it only made my intentions easier to carry out. I closed my fingers around his naked cock, reveling in the smoothness of the skin over his rigid member, and Snap let out a guttural sound. His tongue flicked right into my mouth to twine with mine, provoking a giddy shiver. I kissed him back just as enthusiastically as I swiped my thumb over the head of his erection and spread the precum forming there down its length.

Snap yanked at my panties and delved his hand beneath them. My chest hitched in delight at the stroke of his fingers right across my clit. The same instinct that must have guided his first kiss brought his touch down to my opening, testing the slickness there and then slipping inside me. He began a gentle pumping motion that became more blissfully forceful with each repetition.

I moaned, bucking toward him in pursuit of release. “That’s good. So good.”

He brought his other hand to the side of my face, watching me as the motions of his fingers built me up to that ecstatic shattering apart. Pleasure had flushed his face a deeper shade than before, and his breath came raggedly, but his attention never left me.

The swivel of his thumb over my clit and one
