that he wasn’t quite human, and the edge of danger made me catch my breath. His fingers traced my healing bite marks again, and I shuddered. It was odd, but they’d become something of an erogenous zone. His hand travelled down over my collarbone, then lower to cup my breast. His other hand went to my stomach before drifting between my legs.
My spine arched in invitation as he stroked the folds of my sex, then found my clit and began circling. I stifled a moan, turning my head into the pillow. Ethan’s hand on my breast came up to grip my chin. “Don’t look away. I want your eyes.”
“I’m going to come embarrassingly fast,” I confessed, and he grinned like he enjoyed that idea.
“Come then, lumina mea. It will be the first of many,” he coaxed as his fingers continued to do wonderful things.
That statement sent my head into a tailspin. With Ethan’s experience, I was certain he could give me orgasm after orgasm without breaking a sweat.
“You make me crazy,” he growled, the rumble of his voice vibrating through me.
“You make me crazier,” I shot back, burying my face in his neck and sucking his earlobe, unable to take the intimacy of looking right at him. He shuddered when I flicked my tongue along the shell of his ear. A second later, I orgasmed against his hand and he growled again, this time in displeasure.
“You cheated.”
“It was too much to keep looking at you,” I breathed, my pulse pounding from the release he just gave me. There was a fire in his eyes, a challenge almost, as he flipped me onto my stomach and pulled me to all fours. I barely had time to register him shoving down his pants before he took my hair in hand, fisting it and pulling my head back so that I was looking at him.
My body was stretched taut, my breasts jutting out, my nipples hardened peaks. I’d never been more aroused in my life. Ethan devoured me with his eyes, and I felt his smooth, silky erection nudge against my backside. His hold on my hair was gentle but firm.
“Look away again and there’ll be punishment.”
“Bring it,” I goaded him, and desire seemed to cloud his vision.
He caressed my cheek, and his voice was tender when he asked, “Are you on birth control?”
“Yes,” I breathed.
“I have not been with anyone for quite some time,” he stated and something inside me preened at that. I liked the idea of him being faithful, even when we weren’t together, even when I was convinced he hated me. It meant his feelings ran far deeper than the betrayal he felt when I took Rebecca.
“Me neither.”
At this he swore gutturally, and my core clenched.
“I have some condoms—”
“No,” I said, a little too eagerly. Maybe I was being reckless. Or maybe it was the build up of need for him that had grown and expanded inside me over the last few weeks and months, but I wanted to feel him. All of him.
Ethan exhaled unsteadily, his eyes intense. “You’re sure?”
“I’m sure,” I said adamantly, not dropping his gaze.
A second later my breath caught when he pushed inside me. I was already slick and wet from the orgasm he just gave me. Both of us moaned when he filled me to the hilt, connecting us in the most intimate way. He stilled then, his eyes practically glittering as a shudder went through him. Then his hips began to move in earnest, and I lost the ability to think. I was nothing but sensation as Ethan laid claim to me. He fucked me hard from behind, then pulled out, flipping me over and ramming into me again so fast I barely had time to blink. We were face to face now, and he gripped my chin, not letting me look away. Staring into his eyes was intense in a way I could barely handle.
“Frumoasă,” he breathed as he gazed down at me, the muscles in his torso tensing and releasing. I had no clue what he just said, but it sounded pretty.
He lowered his mouth, brushing his lips over mine. He kissed me lightly at first, then deepened the kiss until his tongue had melded with mine and I didn’t know where he started and I began. I’d never had sex like this before. The way Ethan made love, he invaded every part of me and refused to leave until I surrendered to his complete and utter domination.
He broke the
