CHAPTER FIFTY

Ryker

Lightning continued to crackle across my fingertips as I slid my hand up Ellery's back. Releasing her hand, I broke the kiss to remove her bow and quiver from her.

Before I could think about what I was doing and everything she'd done, I reclaimed her mouth and dropped her weapons on the ground. Our history didn't matter, not now when my cock ached, and she'd brought me to life again where so many others had failed since her.

Resting my palms against her back, I savored the rightness of her body as it melded against mine. I should let her go and walk away, but the second the idea entered my mind, my arms pulled her closer.

I'd starved my body of the one thing it required and refused to let it have what it sought. I'd denied myself the release she could give me, but more than that, I'd deprived myself of the woman who made me feel more alive than I'd ever known possible.

Ellery rose to her toes, and her fingers threaded through my hair. She tugged me closer, and our tongues entwined. Despite the fire and smoke scent clinging to her, her inherent apple scent remained the most intense, and I relished it.

I wanted her scent all over me as I claimed her and took what was mine. A strange savagery built inside me as I gripped the front of her shirt.

In my haste to touch her, I tore at the buttons, pulling them free as I ripped away the material keeping me from what I sought. I barely felt the buttons bouncing off my chest before disappearing into the woods. I tore open her bra before my hands finally settled on the bare skin I'd craved.

I ran my palms over the silken skin of her belly and toward the curve of her breasts. For too many nights, all I could do was dream of experiencing the wonder of her, but those dreams were nothing compared to the reality.

She was so amazing, and while there was a reason I shouldn't have her, I didn't care what it was anymore. All I cared about was possessing her.

I ruined the button on her pants too as I yanked impatiently at them and tore the zipper down. The sweet scent of her arousal permeated the air as I shoved her pants to her thighs.

Her fingers released my hair, but she didn't break the kiss as she kicked off her boots and wriggled her pants low enough to use her feet to remove them. My hands settled on her firm ass.

I pulled her flush against me and groaned as she fit perfectly. I was so hard it hurt; it had been too long since I'd found any release that didn't involve my hand and memories of her.

There would be no memories here. I'd finally get to feel her tight, wet sheath around me again, drawing me deeper and giving me what I needed.

A savagery I'd never experienced with a woman before drove me as I tore at my pants, ripped them open, and freed my cock. Her scent increased as she moved against me, and the crackle of lightning intensified.

If anything was nearby, we'd draw its attention, but I didn't care. The only thing that would stop me now was coming.

I couldn't ignore the pull of her power. Its rhythm entwined into the fabric of my being as my ability mingled with hers.

With my hands on her ass, I lifted her from the ground and her legs encircled my waist. When she slid teasingly across the head of my dick, her enticing wetness caused my shaft to jump in anticipation.

She was eager for more as she spread wider and took part of me into her. When she moved further over me, I buried myself deep inside her.

She was as hot, wet, and tight as I remembered, and I had to restrain myself from coming as she offered a small piece of Heaven in the Hell that Tempest had become. My fingers dug into her as I broke the kiss, and a bellow of possession tore from me.

I hadn't realized I would make the sound before it escaped me. It was raw and primitive as it echoed through the night.

My need for her had reduced me to nothing more than an unthinking animal who sought to ease its primitive desires with the only one who could sate it. I pulled her closer and bent my head to claim a breast.

She gasped, and her head fell back as her hips rocked against mine. Our movements became frenzied as we grasped and pulled and pushed each other toward the edge of rapture.

I was going to fuck her until neither of us could move, the world ceased to exist, and everything was right again.

When I rolled her nipple with my tongue, she cried out. The noise she made was nearly as animalistic as my own as we demanded more from each other.

Her nails dug into my back as she emitted a sound that went straight through me to the depths of my soul. Her back bowed in my hands as her ecstasy brought forth my release.

I buried my face in her breasts and held her closer. A tingle ran down my spine as I thrust into her once more and came with another loud shout that her flesh muffled.

My release went on and on until I felt barren and empty as reality started to return. It had gone too fast and been too wild. It was over too soon, and I wanted more .

The reasons why this shouldn't have happened started to intrude, but I refused to pull out of her as she sagged against me. Her arms draped over my shoulders while her breath warmed my neck.

No. Not yet!

When she shifted a little, blood flooded my shaft again, and I hardened within her once more. Fuck reality. It could wait.

We were far from done as I lowered her to the ground. I stripped away the remnants of our clothes before covering her supple body with mine.

Our eyes met and held as I entered her again. After the attack from the trees, she'd regained control, and her eyes had resumed their beautiful blue-green hue, but now her eyes were as black as the night around us and shone with lightning when they met mine. They were gorgeous, and though I couldn't see my own eyes, I knew each lightning bolt in hers was in sync with mine.

She'd lost control of her ability, as had I, and a white light encompassed us as sparks flew off our fingers and electricity rose from the earth to envelop us. It should be painful; it wasn't.

Instead, it felt as if our power enshrouded us in a warm cocoon. I had no idea what we'd be like when we emerged, and I didn't care.

There were so many reasons why we would never be together, but I didn't care about any of them as that savagery took over again, and I lost myself to the miracle of Ellery.
