Amethyst Flame (Flame 2)

“Do I look like I’m not desperate here?” He held his hands wide.

She glanced down at his rigid cock. She drew a little closer and planted her hands on his waist. “I’d love to be on my knees right now, but that wouldn’t help much either, would it?”

“No, it wouldn’t.”

He pushed a long strand of her hair behind her ear. “I’ve fantasized about being with you again. I’ve wanted you, every night since I had you on my couch. But I don’t see a future here, Em, and it doesn’t help that we live in different territories.”

She caressed his face. “On opposite sides of a long stretch of barbed wire.”

“Yep.”

“Then there’s the elephant in the room.” Would he know what she meant?

“You mean Iris and Connor.”

He got it. Connor had been one of his fellow officers in Crescent Territory who fell in love with a witch. Emma knew Iris since she served on the TPS force as well. A month ago, Connor had resigned from the Crescent force and joined the Trib.

Emma wanted Vaughn to know how she felt despite their differences. “Ever since Connor and Iris announced their engagement, it’s made it harder than ever to get you out of my mind.”

Vaughn nodded. “Same here. But being different alter species isn’t the only reason. I don’t have a lot to give.”

She reached up and kissed him. “I know. And I promise you, I don’t have high expectations here. In fact, I don’t think I have any expectations at all.” She then smiled, her lips twisting. “I mean, we’re not even sure we’ll make it through the night. So how about we focus on what we can do.”

She slid her hand from his waist, down his hip and slowly stroked the length of his cock.

His nostrils flared and he groaned once more. “That feels amazing.” Yet he caught her hand and made her stop. “Again, way too good.” He kissed her on the cheek then her lips.

He drew her close once more and as she parted for him, his tongue moved inside. She gripped his arms and fondled his muscles, one of her fantasies come to life. She slipped into telepathy. I’ve wanted to touch you again, Vaughn. I love the feel of you under my hands. She dug her nails in a little and again he groaned, arching his hips at the same time.

Her turn to moan.

She drew back. “I loved our time on your couch. I know it was really fast, but it was so good. I never felt free enough during any of our phone calls to tell you that, but it was one of the best experiences of my life.”

He nodded. “For me, too. But I don’t want what happens right now to be fast. And there’s something I want to do for you, something I’ve been thinking about for weeks.”

Her sex grew needy with the various ideas that flew through her mind. She knew what kind of lover he would be. The sex two months ago may have been quick, but he made sure she was satisfied. She could still hear his words. Are you with me baby? You ready? I want you to come.

Even thinking about it made her hot all over. “So what is it you want to do?”

He released her, then took her hand and led her to the bench. “Ever since I saw your sex behind that sheer purple fabric, I’ve been hungry.”

Her breaths grew shallow. “How hungry?”

His smile was wicked. “I want you on your back, but put your hips right here at the edge of the bench.”

Emma sat down, then stretched out. Vaughn slowly pushed her legs apart and knelt between them, sliding his arms under her thighs.

As he kissed her abdomen, her pelvis rolled. She could hardly breathe when he moved his lips lower and lower, kissing her each time then letting her feel his tongue on her skin.

When he reached her mound, he kissed her sex over and over, yet more like worshiping than getting down to business. She loved it. Loved that though he was as anxious as she was to really engage, this lovely piece of oral pleasure rocked her world.

When he tilted slightly and she felt him drag the side of his fang over her folds, she gasped. What was he going to do?

Desire pulled inside her, a long grip on what she wished was there. “Are you going to bite me?”

“Just a shallow nip right here.” His tongue hit one of her most tender spots. “Then I’ll be sucking.”

She didn’t hesitate. “Do it.”
