she whispered, her gaze locked with his so that he couldn’t mistake her hunger. “Take me, Rune. Fill me.”
Her sleek thighs parted, baring her center to him, and Rune looked his fill. She was uninhibited, as wild and driven as he. And he loved that she craved him with a raw necessity she was unafraid to show him.
He slid the tips of his fingers over her slick folds and felt her tremble in response. Enjoying the play of emotions on her expressive face, he dipped first one finger and then another into her heat. Her head tipped back and her body bowed gracefully as she strove to meet his touch, to lift her hips to his questing hand.
There was no shyness between them. Only the hunger. The need.
She shouted his name when his thumb pressed down hard on that single bud of sensation at the very heart of her. Her body jolted, her hips rocked as his fingers caressed her inside and out. His own body was screaming, aching for completion, but first he had to watch her tumble over the edge. He needed her release even more than he needed his own.
It was innate. Instinctive. He pushed her higher, faster, his fingers moving over her skin until she twisted and writhed beneath him. She was open to everything and Rune knew that he would never have enough of her. She was deeply sensual, reacting to his touch like a fuse to a match. Explosive. Compelling.
“Damn you!” She shouted again, hips still gyrating in a frantic race toward release. “I wanted you in me for this!”
“I will be.” He couldn’t wait. His cock throbbed with need as blood pumped and pulsed inside him. “First you. Go over, Teresa. Stop fighting it, just go over.”
“No, damn it!” She laughed a little wildly and fixed her gaze on him. Dark brown eyes shining with passion and hunger, she stared at him. “I won’t let go and you can’t make me.”
“A challenge,” he whispered, grinning at her now as his thumb moved in a tight circle over and over that nub of flesh until she was groaning and gritting her teeth in an effort to hold her own climax at bay. “You’re still the stubborn witch.”
“Ha!” A short, harsh laugh shot from her throat as her hips lifted again and again. “I’m stubborn? You’re the one who won’t give me what I want!”
“I know what you want, Teresa, and you’ll take it.”
“You bastard,” she whispered, that tight smile still curving her mouth. “Do you want me to beg?”
His free hand snaked up her body to tug and tweak at her rigid nipple. She groaned again, more fiercely this time, as if it took everything she possessed to keep from succumbing to her climax.
“Yes, Teresa,” he coaxed her, loving how she gave herself up completely to the sensual give-and-take between them. Loving her stubborn refusal to climax. Loving every damn thing about her. “Beg.”
She reared up off the bed, grabbed his face between her palms and kissed him hard and long, chewing at his bottom lip in a frenzy of emotion and sensation. When she finally let him go, she snarled, “I won’t.”
Rune laughed and withdrew his hand from her body despite her howl of protest. Instantly, he scooped his hands beneath her, lifted her off the mattress and covered the heart of her with his mouth.
She screamed his name as her body immediately shattered in his grasp. Again and again, her body shook and trembled with the force of a series of orgasms that pushed her close to the brink of madness. Every time he felt one climax end, he pushed her into another one, loving the taste of her as her body melted under his tender assault.
Breathless, boneless, she finally collapsed, unable to call his name or shout epithets at him. Only then did Rune release her. He set her back onto the bed, looked into her eyes and saw those dark brown pools flash with defiance. “You win this time. But next time, I’ll hold out until I get what I want,” she warned him.
“You get it now,” he said, his cock as hard as stone and aching from the torturous wait he’d inflicted on himself.
“Finally!” She grinned and reached for him, but Rune shook his head.
He lifted her, flipped her onto her stomach and drew her behind up. She sighed, understanding exactly what he wanted and she wasted no time letting him know she wanted it, too. She got onto
