head. Gods, she was the picture of sensuality, laid out before me like this, and she deserved to be worshipped. I devoted slow and languorous attention to every bit of her beautiful, strong body with my mouth and my hand until she trembled, her inner muscles clamping harder on my finger. I grinned against her damp flesh.
Her eyes closed and she grabbed my shoulders, digging her nails into my flesh. I growled. It damn near drove me to the edge of my self-control. “Eyes on me, Em.”
Her mewles of pleasure were so sweet to my ears, all I wanted was to see her fly apart. I slipped two fingers inside her and her muscles clamped down even harder on me as she arched her pelvis forward.
“Connor…” she half-moaned, half-whispered, her fingers entwining in my hair, and her eyes flickering closed. I loved that look of ecstasy on her face, but I was in charge. I stopped.
“No, don’t stop! Please.”
“Eyes, Ember.” An evil smile curled my lips, though my restraint almost snapped at the need in her voice. But I wanted to push her self-control even more. “Let’s make this more difficult.” I gently took her wrists. One at a time I tucked her hands flat under her lower back. Having them there tilted her pelvis up, as if she were presenting herself as my own personal feast.
“No. Please. I want to touch you.” Her amber and green eyes were hooded, her voice husky.
“I know. But what do you want more?” I blew on her swollen clit. “To touch me...” Another breath, “or to come?”
She gritted her teeth and tried to push herself against my fingers. A bead of sweat ran down my temple as I pulled far enough away so that she couldn’t reach. She groaned, her stomach muscles tensing as she twisted. “Both.”
“Not tonight.”
With a little whine, she moved her hands under her back, getting comfortable while she cursed under her breath.
I grabbed her hip with one hand and held her against the bed as I drove my fingers back into her heat. Her hips began moving in time to the thrust of my fingers. She arched her back and threw her head back, her eyes fluttering closed.
“Open them.” My demand was full of dominance.
She did.
I couldn’t take my gaze off her flushed face or dark eyes as she chanted my name like a mantra, her body undulating to the rhythm of my touch. The sight of her was too much, my cock throbbed painfully, and my wolf was practically frenzied. I pressed my thumb lightly against her swollen clit. She screamed my name as waves of pleasure rocked her and her internal muscles clamped down, pulsing around my fingers. Fire flared in her irises. There it was.
Fuck me, but my body was on fire, too. I stroked her back down from her climax until I couldn’t hold back any longer. I stood and gently pulled my fingers from her tight flesh. She stared at me from under her dark lashes. I slowly licked one finger, groaning at the taste of her.
“Your turn,” I said, pushing my fingers to her lips. And damn if I’d ever seen anything quite so hot as Ember arching her spine, lifting her head, taking my hand, then sucking her juices off my finger, her long hair hanging down and brushing the bed. Her soft tongue swirled around my finger and my imagination ran wild at erotic images of her with my cock in her mouth.
“I need to be inside you, right now.”
She gave a sultry smile and bent her knee. Shaking, I settled myself between her creamy thighs. With one slow and steady thrust, I sheathed myself fully inside her. We moaned in unison and for a moment I stilled, just absorbing the sensation of being surrounded by her heat. My heart squeezed hard. I wasn’t capable of living without her again. I squeezed my eyes shut at that thought.
I moved my hips slowly, placing gentle kisses across her face and neck, showing her how much she meant to me. Gods, I was being a pansy, but I needed her to know. Keeping my eyes closed, I fell into the sensations of my Firecracker as I made love to her. I rocked against her, angling her hips to reach deeper into the heaven of her body.
“You were made for me, Firecracker...” I whispered against her ear.
Her hands caught my hair and pulled me back until she could cup my face. Our bodies stilled.
