Chapter Twelve

Every particle of Taran’s body wound into tight knots at the physical evidence of Solène’s rising need. The urge to mindlessly drive into her pulled at the edges of his awareness. To chase the intoxicating pleasure that built in his bloodstream until it consumed him completely. Sweet elements of nature, he couldn’t remember ever aching like this. But the selfish part of him, the part that would remember her even beyond death, wanted to scald this night into her memory.

Another part of his soul ached with the bittersweet beauty of loving her. One hundred years he’d dreamt of her. In exchange for that century of longing, he’d been allowed two days of contentment. Hardly fair. Yet holding her now completed him in ways he’d never experienced before. He was whole here. Accepted. Loved beyond his comprehension.

He sucked in a fortifying breath through flared nostrils and flicked his tongue across the valley between her breasts to her opposite nipple. Teasing that pert bud with his teeth, he reveled in the way she quivered beneath him. So close. She was so on the edge it pained him. But when he slid inside her warm flesh, he would break in a heartbeat, and he wanted her every bit as broken.

“Taran…you will…” She gasped curled her hands into the worn rug. “Pay for this…”

Her harmless threat made him chuckle again. Pay for it indeed. “I will hope so.” He took her nipple between his teeth and tugged. Her back came off the floor, and her nails bit into his shoulders.

“Punish me well, my sweet.” He rimmed the rosy tip of her breast with his tongue. “Promise me.”

But promises were useless—Solène writhed beneath him, making his attempt to nuzzle his way up her elegant neck to her sultry mouth impossible. He gave up and lifted his head, stilling his body entirely as he waited for her gaze to lock with his.

Gradually, her dilated pupils focused, and awareness cleared her brilliant green eyes. A silent question puckered her brow. She opened her mouth, presumably to voice it.

In that half-second of time, that brief moment of silence before thoughts gave way to speech, he arched his hips and eased inside her swollen flesh. Bliss pounded against his skull. Urged him to close his eyes and become lost in the staggering sensations that surged down his spine. He resisted the instinct and held her gaze, connecting them even more intimately.

She shuddered in his arms.

With clenched teeth, he fought spontaneous release and slowly withdrew. The feel of her flesh clamping around him made it impossible to breathe. To think. To do anything but surrender to nature and the perfection of their intertwined bodies. He pushed forward, sinking to blissful depths, no longer able to hold back.

Solène met the steady rhythm of his thrusts. Her soft mewls filled his ears, taking him to even higher limits. He let the sounds consume him. Let himself become lost in her pleasure as he became lost in his own. Stroke-by-stroke he chased away the years apart, until ecstasy broke over his body.
