Ora was dancing with fire, and could not resist sticking both of her hands into its deadly core.

The man in her arms was a hunter, and she was his prey. Tonight, she had hunted him, and now she had him where she wanted him.

He kissed down her neck as his hands roamed over her body. His beard scratched against her collarbone, and she wished for the downy soft skin of her youth. She wanted to have marks to feel tomorrow. The veil of caution he hid behind had lifted. His hand was firm on her waist, dragging slowly upward. He unlaced the ribbon at the back of her dress, and her neckline loosened. His questing lips moved toward her shoulders, and Ora had just enough of her mind left to realize it would be dangerous to let him feel the wounds still healing from Czernin’s attack.

Instead, she tugged at his curls until he kissed her mouth again, and ushered him back toward the bed. She pushed him onto it, leaned over to blow out the candle, and then crawled on top of him.

She helped him strip her from her clothes. She wanted to feel the heat of his hands on her skin. Ora had done nothing but make mistakes for days—for centuries—but feeling Domek beneath her was right.

She pulled off his shirt and explored the body hidden beneath.

Ora had been with many lovers over her long life. Darina had been as hard and slender as a steel cable, with jagged edges which could tear Ora to pieces. Vihaan had been in his fifties, still far younger than Ora’s true age but more settled into his skin than her other lovers. Clara had been as soft and powdered as the beignets she had adored. Franz had been gentle, and had only grown frailer with age. She had needed to be careful with him, plucking and teasing out the reactions she wanted.

Domek was as solid as a mountain. The trimmed black beard on his face was matched by the sparse, unruly patches on his chest and arms. He was stoic under her ministrations at first, but she made it her mission to break him.

Finally, he surged up and twisted them over. She let him secure her beneath him, raising her arms over her head and luxuriating under his heavy heat. Finally, he continued the trail of kisses he had begun against the door, tracing from her neck to her collarbone to her breasts. By the time he made his way between her legs, she was certain she would shake out of her skin before he began in earnest. He was firm but methodical, and Ora was too fragile to be teased tonight.

“Domek,” she said. She tried to find the words to express what she needed, but her mind was a haze. “Please.”

He took mercy on her, moving back up to kiss her mouth. She spread her legs like a flower blooming, and they moved together.

The fire she had been bathing in all night now burned her from the inside.
