Chapter Nine
This was so much better than the dream. Vaughn feared he would never let Eurwen out of his sight again. She was his mate. He just wasn’t sure if she was aware of that or not.
Her lips were pliable, her skin smooth. Her body soft. Desire pulsed within him, demanding release, commanding the pleasure he knew awaited them both.
He groaned when her fingers slid into his hair, her nails gently scraping his scalp. The taste of her was heady, her harsh breaths making his blood run hotter than before. With a thought, he removed their clothes so they were skin to skin.
Eurwen tore her mouth from his and stared up at him, her pulse rapid in her throat. “You have no idea how much I want this.”
“Oh, I verra much do,” he said as he kissed her once more.
She turned him and began backing him from one room to another. When he felt the soft give of a mattress behind him, he lifted her off her feet, turned around, and set a knee on the bed as he lowered her, catching himself with a hand. He broke the kiss long enough to rise on both hands and look down at her.
Golden hair spread around her like a crown. Silver eyes ringed with pewter gazed up at him with the same yearning he felt. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. To finally have her in his arms once again, to know her name, only made the connection he felt for her grow firmer. Purer.
“You’re exquisite.”
She reached up and touched his face as she smiled softly. “No more talking,” she said and pulled him down for another kiss.
He moved his hand between their bodies and cupped her breast to gently massage it. His finger brushed over a turgid nipple, causing her to gasp. He thumbed the peak until she ground against him.
Then she flipped him onto his back and straddled him. He raked his gaze over her pale, unblemished skin. Her shoulders were slim, but the muscles in her arms, abdomen, and legs were defined. Her breasts were full, just barely overflowing his palm. Her dusky nipples were hard and waiting for his tongue.
He set his hands on the swell of her hips before caressing up to the indent of her waist and continuing to cup both breasts. Eurwen’s eyes closed, and her head dropped back, her hair brushing his legs as he began teasing both nipples. He lifted his hips so his cock rubbed against her sex.
She suddenly leaned forward, their eyes meeting as she braced her hands on his chest. She leaned down and softly brushed her lips over his before crawling backward. The moment she reached for his arousal, Vaughn grabbed her and pulled her back up.
“You did that to me this morning in the dream. I need to be inside you,” he said.
She gaped at him. “The dreams are real, then?”
He frowned. “What?”
“This morning. I had you in my hand and mouth.”
“Shite,” he murmured. “How?”
“I was going to ask you that.”
He shook his head. “I doona want to think about that now. I’d rather be inside you.”
“I agree,” she replied with a seductive smile.
When she rolled onto her back and lay there waiting for him, Vaughn could only look on in amazement. He wasn’t sure why such a stunning being wanted him, but he wouldn’t question it. No, he planned to grab her with both hands and be grateful.
He rolled toward her but settled between her legs.
“I thought we decided that…”
Her words trailed off when his tongue swirled over her clit. Vaughn inwardly smiled at how he was able to silence her. He lavished undivided attention on her, making sure she was inundated with so much pleasure she couldn’t form a coherent thought. By the soft cries falling from her lips, he was doing just that.

It was too much.
It wasn’t enough.
Vaughn kept her seesawing between sensations with every lick and lave of his tongue. She both reached for the climax and pushed it away because she knew the longer she held off, the greater it would be.
The joke was on her, however, because she had no control over her body when it came to Vaughn. He was the master of pleasuring her, and she happily granted him that. She’d had lovers before, but none had touched her—knew her—like Vaughn.
Her thoughts vanished as the pleasure intensified. Desire swirled low in her belly, growing tighter and tighter. Just as she felt herself about to reach that final hurdle, Vaughn changed the speed of his tongue.
It was maddening.
It was amazing.
She didn’t know how he could touch her so expertly. It was like he knew exactly where to give her the most pleasure and what she desired.
Her hands fisted the covers as he drew her closer and closer again. Closer than before. She held her breath, wanting to tell him to wait yet beg him to continue. No sound passed her lips as he continued his teasing.
Right up until the climax claimed her.
