Sarafina knew that Claire had served as Rue’s handmaiden from childhood up until the time the palace on Eudae had been attacked by Atrika and Rue had imbued her with the weapon to protect it. He’d sent her to Earth and slammed the doorway between the dimensions closed behind her, but not before two Atrika had dived in behind her. Claire managed to retain her freedom after much fighting, and Rue had been able to get the elium back.
Even though Claire had been, for all intents and purposes, Rue’s slave, she had tumultuous, conflicted feelings where he was concerned. Rue thought of her as his daughter. Most likely Claire was worried about him.
A medic came and scooped the unconscious earth witch into his arms. Sarafina rocked back on her heels and cast a worried gaze at Claire. “Do you know what happened to Rue?” she asked gently.
Claire shook her head and turned away, tending to another fallen witch.
THEO AWOKE TO LIPS SKIMMING HIS ABDOMEN. IMMEDIATELY, his cock took notice of the light head hovering over his stomach and the hands pushing their way down his boxers. His shaft hardened to steel as Sarafina’s fingers touched it and he groaned.
“Mmmm, you’re awake.” She purred. “You’ve slept ten hours and you told me to wake you after eight.”
“Why didn’t you wake me at eight?” He groaned and dropped his head back against the pillows as she stroked him.
“Two can play the overprotection game, Theo.” She nipped his stomach lightly.
He rolled her over and had her cotton shorts shimmied down her legs in about two seconds flat. He pulled her leg to the side, exposing the vulnerable part of her upper thigh and nipped her there, savoring the tender flesh between his teeth and against his tongue.
“Let’s see what other games we can find to play.” He lowered his mouth to her sex and latched onto her clit.
“Theo,” she murmured, her fingers curling in his hair. “I’m not objecting.”
He slid a finger deep into her sex. Her silken muscles clasped it eagerly, so he added a second and worked them in and out until she moaned his name again. “I thought you wouldn’t. Take your shirt and bra off.”
She wiggled her T-shirt up and got her bra off, all the while he held her legs down and parted so she couldn’t move them, gliding his fingers in and out of her. Under his tongue, her clit had grown full and needy. If he took his index finger and caressed her there with steady pressure, she’d come for him so quickly and sweetly. But he had other plans.
“So, you like to play games?” He purred against her inner thigh. “Let’s play, then.”
