A spark lit her eyes when her gaze ran hungrily over him. “You’re not so bad yourself,” she said as her hands gliding over his chest caused his muscles to contract beneath her gentle ministrations.
No one had ever touched him with such reverence before. When he’d still cared enough to have it, sex had always been enjoyable enough for him, but it had always been a scratching of an itch with a willing woman who had understood that was all he wanted from her. It had also been all she wanted from him too.
However, Kadence touched him as if she cared for him.
He stiffened as that realization sank in. She cared for him when none of his other lovers ever had, and he couldn’t deny that she’d become special to him too. Dipping his head, he nuzzled her ear with his lips as his hands slid up the slender curve of her spine. “If we do this, Kadence, there will be no turning back.”
“I don’t want to turn back, ever.”
“You could regret—”
“No. Even if for some reason I decide to return home, I willneverregret this night, or you.”
Kadence held her breath as Ronan shifted so his forehead was against hers and his reddened eyes burned into hers. Then his mouth took hers in a kiss that burned all the way to the tips of her toes.
His hands fell to her waist, and he lifted her easily. Taking two steps forward, he placed her on the bed and stepped back to admire her. She lay before him, her skin flushed with passion and her lips swollen from his kiss. Unbuttoning his pants, he hastily pulled them off and tossed them aside.
Kadence’s eyes widened as he revealed himself completely to her. A fresh trickle of alarm slid through her as she gazed at the erection jutting proudly out from his body. The elder women had told her what to expect, but they hadn’t prepared her for howbighe would be. It stood a good eight inches away from him and was so thick she knew she wouldn’t be able to wrap her hand completely around it.
Swallowing heavily, she pushed aside her trepidation over what was to come. It would hurt, but this was Ronan, and she would deal with the pain if it meant easing this incessant ache for him.
He climbed onto the bed with her and took her into his arms to cradle her against him. The warmth and strength of his body enveloping hers eased her fear. She clasped his back when he reclaimed her mouth and moaned when her breasts rubbed against his chest. The movement sent shivers over her body. He cupped one of her breasts in his palm, running his thumb over her nipple before rolling it between his fingers.
Releasing her breast, he skimmed his hand over her hip and down her thigh. “Open your legs for me,” he whispered against her mouth.
Unable to resist, Kadence spread her legs at his command. Small electrical currents coursed through her body as his hand slid between her thighs. His fingers stroking her caused her belly to clench with need.
Ronan rubbed his thumb against her clit, relishing in her increased breaths as her body reacted to his touch. Already wet with her want for him, he spread that wetness over her before dipping his finger into her. Her inner heat enveloped him as her tight muscles gripped his finger and he began to move it within her.
Kadence’s mind spun as his finger and thumb stroked her. Her hips instinctively rose and fell in rhythm to his movement within her. His finger wasinside herand doing such wonderfully decadent things to her body that she could barely think straight. It was all happening so fast that she thought it should be at least a little overwhelming, but all she wanted was to experience more of him.
She ran her hand over the muscles of his chest before dipping down to explore the ridges of his abdomen. She couldn’t get enough of him as she traced the trail of hair running from his bellybutton to his erection. Unable to resist, she ran a finger over the taut skin of his shaft before touching the bead of liquid forming on the head of it.
Ronan grasped her hand when she ran her fingers tentatively over his head once more. Holding her hand within his grasp, he turned it and wrapped it around his cock. He worked her hand up and then back down the length of him.
“Like this,” he whispered against her mouth.
Kadence almost jerked away when his shaft jumped in her hand as he guided her up and down him. Then, he groaned and his head tipped back until the muscles in his neck stood out. His reaction to her touch fascinated her as did the heat of him against her palm. She forgot all about the delicious sensations he evoked in her as she concentrated on the pleasure she gave him.
Then, he began to move his finger in a completely different way within her and his palm rubbed against her. She ground against his hand as he pushed her closer and closer to the brink of something far beyond anything she’d experienced those times when she’d woken after a dream and felt unfulfilled. During those times, she had touched herself in an attempt to ease what those dreams had awoken in her, but her touch and those dreams were nothing compared to the passion Ronan evoked within her.
“Ronan,” she groaned when he slid his hand away from her.
“Easy,” he whispered in her ear and eased her hand away from his cock. “I want to be in you the first time a man makes you come.”
She wasn’t entirely sure what his words meant, but she was impatient to find out. He moved over her, his massive body filling her field of vision and all her senses, as he nudged her legs apart with his thigh.
The corded muscles of his arms stood out as he held himself above her and he no longer tried to keep his lethal fangs concealed. She lifted her hips invitingly to him, needing him to quench the fire he’d created within her.
Leaning down, he took hold of her mouth again and delved his tongue into her. He grasped her hips, holding her as he positioned the head of his dick against her inviting folds and began to inch forward. Gritting his jaw, it took all his restraint not to plunge into her as her wet heat enveloped him more and more. He stopped when he felt the barrier of her virginity. Releasing her hips, he lifted his lips from hers to take in the vision of her beneath him.
“This is going to hurt,” he warned.
“I know,” she murmured as she ran her fingers over his high cheekbones before slipping them around his neck. “The elder women told me what to expect.”
Kadence’s breath caught when, for the briefest of seconds, she stared into a pair of eyes the same color as a deer’s. She’d seen hints of this rich, deep brown in his eyes before, but never this clearly. She knew she was being gifted a glimpse of Ronan while at peace and not the brutal, unyielding warrior she’d come to know. As fast as it had come, the brown faded away to become burgundy once more.
She had no time to ponder what had caused the change before he thrust forward to penetrate deep into her. Kadence cried out, her nails dug into his nape and her thighs clamped against his sides.
