Chapter Nineteen

Uncertainties

WOODEN SHUTTERS BANGED IN the wind, and the flimsy curtains billowed. Moonlight shone across the polished wooden floor. Niklaus didn’t remember opening the windows. In fact, he’d made sure the latches were tightly locked in case someone who wanted him dead climbed through. He squinted in the semidarkness, hand reaching for his sword hanging in its scabbard over the bedpost. He stopped, eyes widening.

A silhouette stood just inside the window opening, lit from behind by the cold white sliver of Chandra shining through a break in the storm clouds. His eyes traced the outline of her sensuous curves, lingering on the feathered wings that loomed over her head. She was here. Sylva had come to reward him. It was only the fifth time he’d seen her.

Niklaus drew his hand away from her sword, breath catching in his throat. Heat rose to his face and swirled down to his groin. A brush of air caressed his bare chest, carrying with it a strong scent of leather overlaid with musk and spices.

She stood there for long moments, unmoving, yet enticing. Then, with silent steps, she padded toward him. Her dress was nearly transparent, revealing as much as it concealed, offering him tantalizing glimpses of her curves. Her not quite nakedness sent a delicious shiver through him.

Sylva Kalisia climbed onto the bed and sat astride him, her movements as graceful as a panther, her weight pressing his hips deeper into the mattress, the tops of her feet resting lightly on his thighs. Her delicate dress rippled in the breeze, molding to her sensual body. Stretching to either side, her wings blotted out the moonlight, covering him in her shadow.

Niklaus scarce trusted himself to breathe. His heart hammered in his chest, and his mouth was dry. He dared not move, but the temptation to grab her, to roll her over, and press himself against her was almost overwhelming.

Her slanted violet eyes traveled over his face and body with a feral shamelessness that stopped his breath. She leaned over, and the tips of her midnight hair brushed across his face. She gripped his shoulders, her nails digging into his flesh, and dragged her silken hair over his tingling skin. Both hands pressed him down, and he railed against the constraint even as he reveled in feeling her full weight on him, longing for the touch of her sex against his.

A sound like a snap of cloth as her wings flapped once, sending cooling air redolent with her scent across his skin. There was something animal about her—heat and smell and closeness—that spoke to his soul. He couldn’t think straight. Where their flesh touched, he burned with an intensity that both aroused and frightened him. He groaned wordlessly. The pressure in his groin intensified to the point it was almost painful. He ached for her. How could his heart hammer so hard?

Her long silken hair dragged across his chest as she moved across and down his body. The coolness of her palms trailed across his sweaty chest.
