His Darkest Embrace (Jaguar Warriors 2)

“All I can think about is that I’m here, with you, and I’m never giving you up.” Skye turned into him, pressing her body as close to him as she could. Jagger groaned as every single inch of him responded to the woman in his arms.

“No matter what,” she whispered, her eyes transfixed by his own. “I’m yours. I love you, Jagger.” She laughed then. “How freaky is that?”

Jagger lowered his mouth until he was inches from hers. “I don’t know, why don’t you show me?” He groaned and covered her soft lips with his own. The hunger inside of him for the woman that he held was one that would never leave him. As long as he drew air into his lungs she would be his.

He kissed her with an intensity that shook him to his core and his body hardened to the point of pain.

“You are mine,” he whispered against her lips. He felt them tremble beneath his own and he groaned as she opened beneath him, her arms circling his neck. “Whatever the future holds, we’ll deal. Together. Don’t ever leave me again.”

“I’m not going anywhere,” she said as she offered herself up to the one man who was strong enough to tame her, strong enough to fight for her.

“Take your clothes off,” she commanded, nipping at his neck and falling back onto the bed, giggling as he hurried to do her bidding.

Jagger laughed softly. “You must be hungry. Don’t you want some food first?”

“I’m hungry,” she growled, “but it ain’t for food.”

Jagger slid into bed pulling her along the length of him. She pushed him down and he sucked in a painful breath as she rose above him, every inch of her golden flesh exposed to his hungry eyes as she straddled his body.

Her breaths were coming in ragged spurts and she licked her lips, reaching for him, claiming his mouth with her own as she sank down upon his hardness.

He heard her gasp against him, her body shuddering as his cock filled her fully. Their tongues met in a feverish dance and his hands grabbed her hips, pulling her into him as he thrust upward.

She broke from him, pushing herself up as she began to roll her hips and ride him with an intensity that tore at his heart. Everything was there, in her eyes, for him to see and as the pressure built inside of him, he clenched his teeth and held on.

There were no words, no sounds other than skin on skin and the creaking of the bed as they began to move quicker, harder. He felt the pressure building deep inside and as her head rolled back, his fingers gripped her hips hard and he brought her up and then back down again, over and over, until he felt his release take hold.

She looked down at him then and they came together, their orgasms rolling over them in waves until she collapsed on top of him.

Later, after he’d loved her again, they lay exhausted, their bodies intertwined and their hearts beating as one. Gently he caressed the softness of her cheek and pulled her into the crook of his body.

“What do we do now?” she asked.

“We live our lives, deal with whatever comes our way together.”

“Sounds good to me.” She nuzzled his neck and even though she’d used him good and hard, he felt his body respond, and he smiled against her.

“I just …”

“What?” he prodded.

“I’m sorry, Jagger, so sorry about your brother.” She rested her head against his chest, and he felt her sadness. It rolled off her in waves. “About where he is.”

Jagger pulled her in flush to his body and kissed the top of her head, taking comfort in the fact that even amongst all the craziness, they had each other.

That had to count for something.

He wanted to ask, to know more than what her cryptic words told him, but he remained quiet. To know more would break him and he knew he needed to be strong in the coming days, not only for Skye but for his family.

The two of them lay there for several long moments and eventually the weariness took its toll. Jagger fell into a deep sleep that was long overdue. As Skye snuggled into his safe embrace, she tried not to think about what she’d seen in her dreams. She couldn’t go there, not yet, anyway.

Instead she sent a silent prayer to the gods.

And hoped like hell there was someone out there listening.
