Thirty-Six

They were alone with the click of the lock. Utterly and totally alone.

Desire rolled off Idris like wisps of smoke, curling and disappearing into the air. He pushed off the door, body tense. “Are you scared of me, little witch? I can hear your heart racing in your chest.”

Mia stood her ground, chin still raised. Her brow quirked upwards. “I fear no man or vampyre.”

He scrubbed his mouth with the back of his hand, like he was ridding the taste of her. “You really shouldn’t have fed me, Mia. You, of all people.”

“What does that even mean?” she asked with a sigh. “You needed blood, you old sack of bones. I couldn’t just let you die.”

“Your blood is stronger. Witch blood is an aged wine, whereas human blood is the sour scraps at the bottom of the barrel.”

With hurried movements, Idris swiftly stripped his surcoat. He ripped his shirt from his back as if he was burning up, feverish. He bent over, clutching at his sides. Muscles painfully strained under his skin, making Mia cringe. Groaned curses slipped from his lips. She desperately wanted him to groan those words against her flesh, as she felt the delicious stretch of him pressing inside her. She took a small step towards him, hands bunching whatever was left of the silken material of her ruined dress.

“You needed—”

“You know nothing about what I need. What I ache for, Mia, is you,” Idris cut in, voice deepening, making each said syllable rough, husky.

“Fuck,” she cursed through a sharp exhale.

His head snapped to hers, his dark gaze captured hers, drawing her in, casting her to the deep current of desire. Filling each of her uneven breaths with a lung full of craving. For too long, they had danced around each other with long looks, fleeting kisses, and brushes of fingers.

They had reached the crescendo of the song.

The climax.

“Then take what you need, Idris. My body, my blood,” Mia whispered.

His gaze dropped to the thudding pulse in her throat, eyebrows meeting. Torn.

A tense moment passed as their heaving breaths filled the room.

“That was a really beautiful dress,” he crooned.

Grinning at him, her hands smoothed over the stiffening material. “Someone has to buy me a—”

“Take it off, Mia, and get on that fucking desk.”

The roughness of his words slammed her with an unbridled desire, sending her veins singing. She bit down on her lip, a smirk curling around her teeth. “Come take it off, Idris.”

Without another word, their bodies collided, lips finding hers. Gone were the gentle kisses. This kiss was all-consuming—furious, hurried, devouring her. Raw passion spewed from each of them. Hands roved bodies, gripping handfuls of flesh. The sharp edge of the desk cut into her spine, making her heart skip a beat and break away. She pushed him back a fraction. Memories flash before her eyes, of throbbing skin, and the distant ringing of her scream.

“You’re safe with me, Mia…” Idris muttered, lips brushing hers.

Mia nodded, demanding her mind to be firmly in the room with Idris.
