Crimson Highlander (Onyx Assassins 2)

I stripped her control, leaving her with nothing to do but feel.

My tongue swirled around her clit, teasing but not stroking. She tasted so damned good, and the little catches in her breath were better than any orgasm I’d ever had in my life. My entire focus narrowed to her. Nothing outside this room mattered. The whole world could burn for all I fucking cared. I had Valor in my mouth, her hips in my hands, her moans in my ears.

I ate her like the finest dessert, with long licks and little nibbles, savoring my treat, pushing her to the edge only to pull her right back when she got too close, building her pleasure with every ounce of skill I’d picked up over the last few hundred years. It had all been for this moment—this woman.

When her breaths came faster and her thighs trembled, I fucked her with my tongue, sliding in and out of her pussy as I drank her down. She fluttered around my tongue, so I fucked her harder. Her thighs locked, and her keening little cries came faster and higher.

I used my fingers to push her over the edge, flicking her swollen clit. She came, her walls squeezing down on my tongue, and I stroked her through it only to replace my tongue with my fingers.

Then I sucked her clit between my lips, and she gasped.

“Lachlan. You’re killing me.” She tugged on my hair, but I didn’t move.

“I’ve fantasized about this for months, Valor. You’re not rushing me,” I warned, nipping her flesh with my fangs, but careful not to break the skin.

One hint of her blood, and I’d be inside her with more than my cock.

You can’t. Stealing her blood would be the ultimate violation, and I’d never take from her like that. Ever.

“I just want you ready for me.” I stroked her with one finger, and she moaned. I added a second.

“I’m ready, I—” She groaned, arching her hips as best she could as I licked her clit and thrust my fingers inside her pussy.

“You’re so fucking tight.” She was a vice around my fingers, squeezing me as I curled them against her G-spot and sucked at her clit.

“I’m…holy shit, Lachlan!” She came again, her hips bucking against my face as I continued stroking and sucking. Minutes later, her legs went limp against my shoulders. “Get up here,” she growled.

My cock throbbed in agreement.

I prowled over her body, grasping her ass and sliding her up the bed, lining my cock up with her entrance in the same move. Magnets.

“Wait.” Her eyes flew wide, and her hands braced on my chest.

I stilled completely, holding my weight on one elbow as I looked down at her. “What’s wrong?” Fuck, I tried to keep my voice soft, but need pounded at me like a damned sledgehammer.

“N-nothing,” she stammered, swallowing. “I just need you to know that I’m not a virgin or anything, if that’s what you’re expecting.”

“Okay?” My eyebrows furrowed, and sweat broke out over my skin as my muscles strained against the instinct to drive forward and claim my mate.

“Are you disappointed?” Apprehension flickered over her features and threatened to replace the haze of lust.

I would have laughed, but she probably would have hit me for it, so I settled for a grin. “I’m not a virgin, either, lass. Does that disappoint you?”

“No, of course not!” She blinked.

“Exactly. All I need to know right now is that you want this,” I rocked my hips a fraction of an inch, pressing the head of my cock against her swollen, slippery entrance. If she didn’t, I’d manage. I’d climb off her sweet, supple body and walk straight into the ice-cold shower, even if it killed me and froze my cock off.

She cupped my face and stroked her thumbs over my cheekbones. “I want this. Take me.”

Fuck yes.

My grip tightened on her ass, and I kept my eyes locked on hers as I pushed inside her with a series of rolling thrusts, going a little deeper with each one until she took me to the hilt, and then I stilled, waiting for her to adjust.

Fire. I was surrounded by velvet fire that threatened to burn me to ash. But what a way to go. She fit me perfectly, like her body had been made to be taken by mine, and I marveled at the difference. Sex had always been…sex. This was something different. Something that transcended description.

“Are you okay?” I ground out between gritted teeth, willing my body into submission when it demanded to thrust.

“God, yes.” Her fingernails bit into my shoulders, and she lifted her legs to my hips. “You feel so damned good.”

“I was going to say exactly the same thing.” I bent my head and kissed her gently, the opposite of the violent need holding my body hostage. “Fuck, Valor, you’re so hot around me. So perfect.”
