He leaned closer. His presence sucked the air from around her. “I’m going to stake my claim on your mouth.”
Well, when said like that, who was she to argue? There wasn’t even time to protest as he did exactly as threatened, and she opened up to him freely. With every swipe of his tongue across hers, a piece of her crumbled to the ground. It was as if she were shedding the old Sheila in search of someone new. Desire sparked and bloomed into an inferno until she thought she might actually die if it wasn’t sated. Her body took over her mind as she wrapped her arms around his neck and climbed into his lap. As she settled on top of his erection, the flame burned hotter and all she could think about was having him inside her. Her desire was so consuming, she hardly noticed the darkness that swirled around them before it became light once more. It was enough, however, for her to break the kiss and look over his shoulder.
“Where are we?” A sea of deep purple flowers bent in a warm gentle breeze for as far as she could see.
“We are outside the city limits. No one is here or even close by, but even if someone tried to come this way, they would be gently pushed in another direction.”
She smiled. “Another one of your tricks?”
His brow cocked. “I am a very talented demon.”
“Hmm, I’m not sure I believe you.” Now she was teasing him, and it felt good. Felt right, like she had done so before.
“Are you asking me to prove myself?”
She narrowed her gaze at him. “I am.” Then a burning question hit her. “Wait. Did you and Lomara…”
“Lomara and I were never together in that way. We remained respectful to my brother and the vow that was made when she was betrothed to him.”
For some reason, that made her happy. Pleased that Zander was a man of honor but also that this would be their first time together. Was she starting to believe she was Lomara? She wasn’t certain but was willing to ride this wave of desire to the finish line. No matter where it landed her.
“You look pleased at that news.” He grinned. “Are you jealous of my past?”
“How could I be jealous? We both have our past lives, and they are just that.” She touched his cheek and stared into the depths of his now stormy eyes. “I don’t know what I believe, or even what I think at this moment, except I want you. Truth be told, you were right from day one. I have always wanted you.”
His smile melted her. “I am yours and no matter what happens, no matter what memories you hold after, I will always be yours.”
CHAPTER16
He meant his words. Even if Sheila recalled nothing of Lomara, it didn’t matter. He knew in his heart. In his soul, she was his, and he suspected she knew it as well. In speaking with Greydon, he learned when his brother had formed the blood bond in order to find and save Aimee, he had done so with the suspicion she was his mate. He went into it knowing he may never release her and once he had taken the steps to perform the ritual, there was no doubt left in his mind and heart.
That was exactly how Zander felt and it was going to prove difficult to take things slow, but he had to think of her.
“You look lost in thought.”
“Only thoughts of what I want to do to you. Does that frighten you?” He summoned a large blanket and sat down, patting the spot next to him.
“Not at all.” She joined him and placed her hand on his thigh.
“Is that a wicked grin I see?”
She smiled wider. “Perhaps. You know, I have talents too.”
His cock hardened more. “I can’t wait to learn about these talents you speak of.” He leaned in. “Tell me if I go too fast.”
“You can’t go fast enough.” She nipped his earlobe. “I think I might actually catch fire.”
Not to be one to waste time, and he certainly could move fast. He slid his hand under her top and touched her naked skin. “You can tell me to stop at any time.” He suckled her neck and fought to keep his fangs at bay. “Though I’m not sure I can but I would try. For you.”
“I have no intentions of telling you to stop.” This time she moved her hand further until it covered his cock, and she gave a squeeze. “Matter of fact, I was thinking these clothes are in the way of our fun.”
He leaned back to study her. There was a deep-seated need to make sure she wasn’t messing with him. Lomara used to like to tease him and right now he wasn’t certain he could handle stopping, even though he said he would. “I can fix that... Would you rather I use magic to undress us both, or go it the old-fashioned way?”
Her pupils dilated. “Strip us now.”
“As my lady wishes.” He even made a bit of a show by snapping his fingers, though it wasn’t necessary. Now that she was fully unclothed, he drank in every inch of her. Small, firm breasts with nipples that begged to be sucked. Wide hips and a narrow waist, but not overly so. Her muscles were toned, as if she had worked out most of her life to stay in shape.
“Hey, I meant both of us should be naked. Not fair that you get to ogle the goods while I get nothing.”
