“I’m not doing it alone.” He pulled her bra free and licked his lips. “You’ll be with me in spirit.”

“You’re an asshole.”

“I know.”

A shiver ran up her spine when he bent and kissed her neck. “But you have to stay behind so they can see you, Enchantress. You’ll open the balcony doors and let me out, but the guards have to see you off and on throughout the night so I can get back in. They think I’m too weak to do anything, so they shouldn’t get suspicious.”

As he pushed her dress lower, he purposely tried to distract her from their argument by doing things with his mouth and teeth that made her legs weak, but she refused to be distracted.

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT

“That’s not a good reason, and you know it. I can leave the doors open for both of us to return. And you should be resting instead of molesting me.”

He chuckled against her neck as his finger found her clit and stroked it. “Does it feel like I should rest?”

Sahira had to grip his shoulders to keep from falling into him. “Zeth said you lost a lot of blood.”

“True, but the best thing you can do to strengthen a dark fae is fuck them.”

“Orin—”

His teeth nibbling at her bottom lip cut off her words. “You strengthen me, Sahira. I need that.”

He did need that, especially if he was going to follow through with this crazy plan of his, but damn it…. “You should rest and not go running around out there.”

“And tomorrow, they might come to cut something else from one of us. I might be able to stop that.”

She couldn’t protest that, as it was true. They probably would arrive tomorrow with some new game; as pissed as the Elite all looked tonight, it would be vicious. And there was no doubt it would involve turning them against each other.

Sahira’s fingers dug into his shoulders when his finger started teasing her clit. For a second, the passion he evoked so easily consumed her as her head fell back and his mouth found her breast.

Then she recalled their argument and dragged herself from the depths of sensuality to pant, “A protective spell will keep us both safe.”

“Even with a protective spell, I can’t move as fast if you’re with me, and speed is of the essence. If the dagadon discover I’m gone, you’ll all pay for it,” he said.

“More of a reason you should take me with you.”

“The others will need you here to help protect them if shit goes down. They don’t know I’m leaving. It will be like we’re throwing them to the wolves.”

He was right about that, but the idea of him going out there alone was enough to drive her mad. “We were separated most of the day, and look what happened.”

He silenced her again with a kiss, and somehow, before she knew how it happened, his pants were off. He had five fewer fingers, yet it seemed like he had eight more hands as he drew her off her knees.

When she rose, he slid her dress the rest of the way down. It pooled around her feet as he tore her underwear off and tossed it aside.

He guided her onto the bed, and Sahira wrapped her legs around his waist. He remained sitting up as she slid onto his cock.

He bit her bottom lip as a rumble of pleasure vibrated his back beneath her hands. She couldn’t get enough of how his muscles rippled against her palms and his strength even after everything he’d endured today.

Joined together, she leisurely rode him as she felt the gentle tug of him feasting on the energy they created with their bodies. She rose until he was nearly out of her before drawing his thick, rigid length into her again.

His fingers dug into her back as his mouth found her nipple and his tongue caressed it. Sahira threaded her fingers through his thick hair and clasped him to her breast before rubbing the tip of a pointed ear.

He shuddered against her, and the tug of his feeding grew stronger as he strengthened himself on her. Her fangs tingled and lengthened in response to his hunger, but she wouldn’t bite him. He’d lost enough blood today.

Her head tipped back as their joining became more frenzied until she was crying out his name while coming apart in his arms. As he groaned, deep within her, she felt the pulse of his shaft when he came too.
