Witch In Charge - Celia Kyle Page 0,67

ran off afterward—I was bitterly disappointed, while at the same time filled with something new and different. Need for you. It scared me, so I bolted.”

“So she wasn't lying,” Kelly whispered, the river of tears breaking over the dam.

Ronun's shoulders slumped for a second before he rolled them back. “She was and she wasn't. That's the way of a master manipulator, taking a seed of the truth and twisting it into something truly grotesque. After that kiss, I no longer thought you could break the curse, Kelly. After that kiss, I spent time with you because…I fell in love with you.”

Kelly stared at him for a few seconds, eyes welling up. Then she hurled herself into Ronun’s arms and kissed him, pressing her body against his as if she could fuse them together.

“Never run away again,” she whispered against his mouth.

“Never,” he whispered back.

The court of the gargoyles erupted around them, cheering in celebration. Neither Kelly nor Ronun really heard the cacophony. Their attention was focused solely where it had been since the first moment they met—on each other.

Kelly ran her hands up his arms, pressing her body to his as the kiss grew even deeper. Ronun pulled free first and looked around.

“I don’t think public consummation is required,” he whispered.

She giggled, suddenly aware of the huge crowd around them. She held tight to Ronun and opened a portal to transport them to her room in Hollow House in the blink of an eye.

She kissed him almost desperately, and he returned the intensity. He needed her the same way she needed him, but she had to say one more thing before they could consummate their love.

“Ronun?” she said, through the kiss.

He pulled back a little and looked into her eyes as if he could see a whole world waiting for him in her gaze. “Yes, my love?”

“If, in the future, you have to disappear for the sake of innocent lives, at least send me a raven.”

He grinned. “I’ll send you a hundred. I’ll darken the sky with their wings.”

“Now you’re talkin'.”

She smiled and leaned in, pressing her lips to his. Her hands roamed across his body, soft skin over hard muscles, teasing him through his fancy robe.

“Gargoyle royalty wear some goofy shit,” she whispered, running her finger down the gold brocade decorating the lapels.

He laughed and looked down at himself. The robe was black with stripes of royal purple lined in gold thread. It wouldn’t have looked out of place at a costume party.

“It's ceremonial, and since I'm no longer royalty, I'll never have to wear it again.”

“Good, because it's pretty hideous.”

In one swift movement, he pulled the entire mass of fabric over his head and threw it across the room, leaving him completely, utterly, blessedly naked. He grinned in all his glory.

“There. Problem solved.”

Without hesitating, Kelly touched him, one hand sliding boldly along his stomach until she reached the goods. When she gripped his stiff cock, he gasped. When she ran her fingers up and down the shaft, he moaned.

“You’ll never wear anything again, if I get a say,” she said with a little growl.

Every time he tried to touch her, she batted his hands away. But she wouldn't return his gaze. She all but ignored the rest of him as she stroked his cock until he was huge and hard.

Even though she appeared to be ignoring him, she paid very close attention to his reactions. When he began to tense up, she let him go and kissed him, running her hands all over his chest and back. Unable to keep his hands to himself any longer, Ronun tugged at her clothes, his hunger gnawing.

Kelly pulled free and gave him a stern look. “You get me when I say you do. Consider it your punishment. I’m going to have my way with you because you were so naughty to me.”

Ronun scanned her face to make sure she wasn't upset, then growled his approval. Not that he had any say in the matter.

Dropping to her knees, she moaned in delight as she took him into her mouth. Ronun took a sharp breath when she grabbed his ass and pulled herself even closer to take him deep into her throat.

She took her time, sliding her lips all the way to the head and caressing it with her tongue before sucking him slowly back down her throat again. She kept a light hold on his thighs, digging her fingernails in. It didn't take long for him to rock against her, trying to
