He inhaled, growling into her neck, and glided his tongue over her heated skin before pulling back. “Your fury only heightens the taste. It’s fucking divine.”

She glared, ready to head butt him in the nose, but he anticipated it. Tightening his grip on her wrists, he smirked and dropped his head to her chest, wrapping his lips around one of her nipples.

Blinded by her clashing emotions, she’d completely forgotten she was topless, and the sensation of him sucking her nipple deep into his mouth had her mind emptying. She whimpered when he sucked harder, punishing her, before releasing her tip to run his tongue over it.

She shuddered as he did it again before trailing that gods damn mouth up her breast. He pressed a single, soft kiss to her skin before sinking his teeth into the top of her breast.

“What in Aleron is wrong with you?” She screeched.

Raising his head at her tone, he rolled his hips sharply into her, eliciting an uncontrolled groan from her throat. “I’ll stop when you say it.”

Her pulse rocketed out of her veins and her breathing became labored. She wanted to give in. Gods, did she want to. The Magyki in her wanted to scream, “I’m yours!” at the top of her lungs and lie there submissively while her mate used and pleasured her body.

But the human in her, the human who’d been raised by Elric to defend herself against anyone, resisted. She wanted him. She wasn’t ashamed of it and couldn’t deny it even if she wanted to, not when he could feel it. But that didn’t mean she had to make it easy on him.

Giving free reign to her lust, she allowed it to flow through her body, lighting her on fire and drenching her, hoping it would distract him. By the darkening of his eyes, she was right. He released her wrists, resting his hand next to her head while his other moved to her breast, and captured her mouth in a vicious kiss.

She accepted it, kissing him back with all the hunger and aggression he’d awoken in her. The metallic taste of his blood filled her mouth, and she pulled harder on his lip, his answering groan shooting straight to her core.

She ignored it. The weight of his body on hers, the way his fingers worked her nipple, and the orgasm slowly building between her legs. She ignored every single desire she so desperately wanted to give in to, and slammed her head up into his nose.

He roared as his head snapped back, and she wasted no time. Pushing against his chest as hard as she could, she twisted onto her stomach to crawl out from under him. There was nowhere for her to go, but at least she wouldn’t be pinned beneath him.

She pushed to her feet, but only made it about a foot before his hand snatched her ankle. Unprepared for him to have recovered already, she slammed back down, face first.
