the rest of us fuck you senseless?”
“Ani, you’re driving me crazy,” I say, slowly increasing the pressure on my clit, his words painting a vivid picture in my mind—one I’ve been imagining for longer than I care to admit. Between my thighs, his cock grows harder in response, and I rub faster, fingers slipping across my superheated flesh as I lose myself in the promise of Ani’s seductive fantasy.
“Or maybe,” he says, voice drunk with lust, “you’ll take two of us at once, Kirin between your thighs, me fucking you from behind, making sure you feel every inch as we go deeper and deeper until you melt.”
He grips my ass and arches his hips, grinding hard against me. His cock is so thick, so hard inside me, every deep thrust makes me gasp.
“I can’t hold on,” I pant, unable to control the frantic pulse of my fingers on my clit. “I’m right there. Goddess, Ani… I don’t want to stop.”
“Don’t stop. Make yourself come for me,” he demands. “I want to feel you lose control.”
My muscles tighten, the heat spiraling out from deep inside, and suddenly I’m right on the edge, sliding over his cock, chasing the orgasm just out of reach. I cry out his name, but before I can utter another sound, Ani bolts upright, stealing the breath from my lips with a deep, devastating kiss. Hooking his hands around my shoulders, he grinds into me, his body shuddering as he comes, hot and hard.
I hold my breath, still balanced on the precipice, my nerves on fire, when Ani shoves his hand between us, joining my own fevered stroking. His touch is like fire itself, hot and hungry, desperate, devouring…
And holy fucking hell, I’m gone.
“Fuck, Ani! Oh my goddess!” A white-hot starburst of pure, explosive pleasure detonates, and I shatter, my thighs trembling, my heart pounding, my whole body lit up from the inside.
It’s so blinding, so deep, it feels like my soul is leaving, chased away by the intensity of it all…
Without warning, the bedroom vanishes, the hardwood floor and plaster walls turning into red sandstone, the sky stretching dark and wide overhead.
A vision. Fuck. I’m sucked into it so fast I don’t even have time to warn Ani. One minute I’m riding out the blissful waves of my orgasm, the next I’m falling face-first into the dirt as a blaze of fire shoots over my head, so close it singes my hair.
I push up to my feet and whip around, bracing myself for another battle with Dark Judgment.
But the dark mage threatening me with the Wand of Flame and Fury isn’t Judgment at all.
It’s Ani. Dark and deadly. Empty inside.
His eyes are black, his smile dripping with blood.
“Ani!” I shout, reaching for him. “Let it go! It’s killing you!”
The rocks vanish, and I’m back in the bedroom once again, warm and safe in the arms of the man I love.
The blood is gone. The Wand is gone. There’s only Ani, his caramel eyes warm in the candlelight.
“Goddess, it’s you,” I breathe, reaching for his face.
But he flinches at my touch, his eyes turning cold and unforgiving. The fiery inferno that burned so hot between us mere seconds ago has turned to ice.
“What’s wrong?” I whisper.
“What’s wrong with you?” His cold eyes narrow, lip curling back over his teeth. “Unworthy.”
I’m out of the bed in a flash, backing up toward the window with the sheet clutched in my hands, desperate to put as much space between us as I can.
Ani’s eyes clear, and he looks at me across the dimly lit room, his face falling. “What… what happened?”
I pull the sheet up to my chin, not moving from the window. My whole body is trembling. “I don’t know. I just… I saw something. A vision. You… you had the Wand.”
He doesn’t reply, just keeps staring at me, confused and uncertain.
“You were trying to hurt me,” I say. “I know it wasn’t real, but it—”
“You think I’d ever hurt you?”
Something new flashes in his eyes, but it’s not sadness or concern. It’s not confusion. It’s not even a sense of betrayal at the idea that I might actually be scared of him.
It’s rage.
His energy hits me at the same time I see it in his eyes—a fury so intense, so pure, I can almost feel its heat on my skin.
The lingering haze of lust burns away in an instant, and new questions slam through my mind. He mentioned Doc refusing to share—how did he know about that? And
