Reclaimed (Shadow Beast Shifters, #2)(33)

Apparently, being hungry and sexually frustrated made me cranky. It was a flaw… Whatever.

His eyes darkened to something akin to Inky, and I had a brief thought of wondering where that smoke blob even was before Shadow tightened his hold. “You’ve been fighting me from the start,” he rasped near my ear. “No matter how much I push, you push back just as hard.”

“I know no other way,” I whispered against his neck, my face buried there as I breathed him in, my tongue darting out to trace the water on his skin.

Shadow groaned. “Mera, Sunshine. This is a bad idea. I’m not good for you, and I make no fucking promises. Ever.”

I licked him again, sucking against him, salivating at how freaking delicious he tasted. “I don’t want your promises,” I said truthfully. “I’m a grown-ass woman, and I know the deal. This is nothing more than what it is. Two horny people fucking because we can.”

He jerked me out of the water so fast, a scream died in my throat, and when his arms wrapped up under my thighs and around my ass, I found myself sitting right on his face. Like last time, he wasted no time getting straight to my clit, sucking it into his mouth, his teeth biting against the throbbing flesh.

My cry was choked because we were incognito in these parts, and screaming my lungs out was probably a bad idea. No matter how much I wanted to. Threading both of my hands through his hair, I dragged him as hard against me as I could, grinding into his clever mouth.

“Shadow,” I cried, jerking into him as the first orgasm hit me. It had been way too long between orgasms, and I fell over the edge so damn easily with this beast.

Arching my back, my tits were all but flapping in the breeze, but I was too far gone to care. Shadow held me in that firm grip, his large hands biting into my thighs, kneading against my ass. The strength of this god should have scared me, but I didn’t care.

If he killed me right now, I’d go out one fucking satiated bitch.

He looked up to meet my stare, and his eyes were blazing as he devoured me. When he pulled back a little, tongue stroking up in long, smooth slide, I came again, tightening my thighs and hands to the point that I knew I would have hurt anyone who wasn’t as strong as Shadow.

He didn’t stop and if the fire in his eyes was any indication, he liked the bite of pain.

Yep, we were the same amount of fucked-up, and that was what made it work with us.

His power zapped along my skin as I choked on my next screams, making me come harder than ever. His fiery electrical strike teetered on the fine line of pleasure and pain, and I craved it.

When the sensations were too much, I threw myself back, and it was only Shadow’s hold on me that kept my head above water. He laid me out on the waterline, his tongue’s strokes against my pussy slowing as he lapped at the moisture there, devouring everything my body offered. A buildup started again, stronger and with more intensity.

“Stop,” I begged. “Let me touch you as well or stop, Shadow.”

He paused before sucking my clit into his mouth, running his tongue around it slowly, sweeping it side to side and about killing me. Pulling back a fraction, I was breathing heavily as I watched him. “I’m not sure I can control my energy with you, Sunshine.”

It cost him to admit that, and I attempted not to let the fact that I affected Shadow settle in my heart.

“I don’t care.” Absolute truth. “As you like to remind me, I’ve risked my life every day since we met. What’s one more risk? Especially when it comes with reward.”

Using one arm, he slowly lifted me up so that I was vertical again, and as he dragged me closer, he allowed me to sink against his body. A hard cock pressed to my core as I slid farther down him.

“This is not going to happen here,” he warned me.

I jerked my head back. “What do you mean?” We were, like, right fucking there. He couldn’t stop now.

He narrowed his eyes on me, looking too damn gorgeous, all wet and bothered. “You want to lose your virginity in a fucking lake with the chances of Angel or any one of the many creatures roaming these lands to come upon us?”

I had to think about it, like really think about it, before I answered. “You’re going to take my virginity, right? If we stop now, you promise we will find a time to finish this?”

His lips tilted up, a wicked smile gracing his face. “Sunshine, I’m going to destroy you before I put you back together. But I don’t have the time right now for everything I intend to do, so you’re going to have to stop tempting me and let me get on with the rest of my mission.”

I tightened my legs around his waist, groaning as the tip of his cock slipped inside, the burning stretch just enough to be fun.

Shadow’s chest rumbled as the fire of his power spilled across us. “What if,” I panted, “we never get another chance?”

Who knew what could happen after this? He was waging war against his powerful family, without his full powers.

“We will,” he said. “I’ll find time before we get to Trinity. Before… everything changes.”

Before his true mate came into the picture.

Shadow wrapped his arms around me, the sudden movement dislodging me, and I was about to protest until I realized he was hugging me. One of those full-bodied embraces that I felt through my entire soul. A warm blanket encasing me.

“Thank you.”
