Chapter 10

Arim

I couldn't think. I wanted answers, not happy that Lexa clearly avoided an important truth hanging between us. But her proximity eroded my control. The feel of her mouth over mine shattered my ability to reason. Succumbing to the sexual nymph delving into my mouth, I let her play as I basked in her touch.

It had been so long, yet our connection felt as if it had never been broken. The magic inside me reached out and caressed hers. She gasped as my Light threaded through her body, and then she pulled me closer. This Dark Lord, unlike the innocent I had once loved, was aggressive when it came to sex.

And she drove me wild.

I rubbed against her, fighting the urge to lower my hips and shove hard inside her. After so much time without her, though, I knew a quick tumble wouldn't suffice. Her taste, the heady scent of a willing and aroused Lexa made my head spin and my heart yearn for more.

Her small hands loosened their grip, caressing my scalp as she petted my hair. I cupped her head, angling her for a deeper kiss as my willingness to let her lead slipped. By Tanselm's grace, the touch of her soft lips, so firm yet silky and ripe with her taste, had me near to exploding.

Blue had a way of kissing with such intensity it felt as if she tapped into my soul. In the years since our last coming together, that, at least, hadn't changed. She melted under me and urged me closer.

Pulling myself from her lips, I grazed her cheek and throat, sucking hard enough to leave a mark.

Lexa squirmed under me and rasped, "Arim, yes. "

I pulled back enough to glance at her, the sight of her flushed face and passion-stung lips making me want so much more. I'd learned a lot since first being with Lexa, and in the years since we'd been together, I'd done a lot with other women… always wishing it was her.

The thought of watching her blow me would have to wait because I wanted to touch and feel the sleek skin beneath my body. Shoving the coffee table back and out of the way, I sank to my knees and nudged her thighs wider. Once nestled between her legs, I cupped her breasts.

Her lids closed, and she arched into my hands, her lips parted on a breathy moan.

By the Light, she was perfection. A carnal delight that thrilled every warm-blooded cell inside me. She rasped my name as I rolled her nipples and watched as they darkened in color, the blood rushing to the hardening tips. I followed my hands with my mouth, taking one firm nipple in my mouth and sucking hard.

Like fresh iria, her scent aroused. My cockhead was slick, the need to push inside her and release a constant lure. But the waiting would make the pleasure even sweeter.

Turning to her other breast, I nipped and laved with my tongue and was rewarded with a spark of energy that shook me straight to my core. I felt Darkness, a complete rush of power, crawl through my body.

It was anything but unpleasant.

I pulled back to see her flushed and lovely, so willing she took my breath away. "Lexa. Fuck." I let her go and gripped her thighs, holding them wide.

Staring down at her, I willed her to look at me. When she opened her eyes, I found myself drowning in the mixture of confusion, desire, and anger swirling there.

Ice blue orbs stared up at me. "Take me," she said clearly, her voice husky, her gaze direct.

I broke from her gaze and eyed her sex, enchanted by the thin strip of dark hair shielding her from my touch. I wasted no more time and bent lower, my breath a whisper over her.

I smiled, glancing back up at her. "I'm going to devour you, Blue. I'm going to make you beg for me."

Challenge lit her gaze, but her stare was anything but cold. Filled with sexual heat, she dared me to try.

Bringing her to the edge of the couch cushion, I manhandled her into position. I spread her legs and the folds of her sex, staring at pink perfection. Glistening with dew, she was ready, her perfume going straight to my head. I blew a breath over her clit and chuckled when she shuddered. And then I took it all.

I closed my mouth over her flesh and sucked hard on the bud growing taut under my tongue and teeth. Gorged on her passion and her power, I let her Darkness flow into me, a stronger rush from her core, the very heart of Lexa's femininity.

Like a drug, she pulled me deeper under her spell, addicting me in an instant. Hard and aching, I couldn't last much longer. I teased her clit, working the bud with a desperate need I felt mirrored in Lexa. Then I inserted a finger inside her, and she blew apart.

Lexa came hard, her orgasm so strong we mentally joined before either of us could stop it. I had a glimpse of vast Darkness, of pure power and an echo of something that should have been there. But the absence within her wasn't enough to stop the tide of desire rushing through me.

Yanking her from the couch to the floor, I quickly mounted her and thrust deep while she cried out and clenched me tight, her climax ongoing. I panted her name as I took her, conquering my Dark Lord while reveling in her shocking ecstasy. Soft hands dragged at my hips, and I quickly found the edge and crested over, joining Lexa in bliss.

"Blue," I cried, jetting inside her. My pleasure lasted what felt like forever, linking us together as my Light flooded her, mingling with the Dark that swam between us.

When I gradually came back to myself, I noticed her soft caresses, her hands stroking my flanks and making me wish I had more to give her. But I needed a respite after such a mind-blowing orgasm. Staring down, I saw her looking up at me with a dreamy expression on her face.

But once she saw me watching, her eyes frosted over, and she clenched me tighter within her, startling me into a groan. "Hell, Lexa, not yet. Let me stay a moment more."

She immediately relaxed, but the caution was back on her face.

And the sight of it had me missing something I wasn't sure I'd had to begin with.
