Darkness took a step toward me, placing his thumb under my chin to raise my head. I looked into his suddenly glowing eyes.
“I have an idea for rest,” he said, grinning.
My heart thudded as electricity ripped through my body. “I bet you do.”
“Mmm, yes, I do,” Darkness said, his voice deep and filled with desire.
My pulse quickened as he pressed his body against mine until my back was against the living room wall. The coolness of his skin seeped through my clothes, sending a pleasant shiver down my spine.
Darkness’s woodsy masculine scent surrounded me, causing my head to feel light. I lazily trailed my fingertips down his muscular arms, keeping my eyes locked with his.
He leaned in, caressing my lips with his. It was seductively soft and gentle, but his need quickly deepened the kiss. The intense desire warmed my insides as though a fire were building deep within me.
“Do you know how much I need you?” he asked as he lifted me off the ground, pinning me between him and the wall. I wrapped my legs around his hips as his lips moved down my neck, hungrily exploring my exposed skin.
“No,” I replied breathlessly.
His hands moved with urgency over my body. He slid a hand to my neck, wrapping his fingers around as his mouth found mine.
Darkness’s hand slid down, raising my shirt over my breasts. He traced delicate circles around my nipples as he rolled his hips.
“More than anything else. I need you to survive. You are my oxygen,” Darkness whispered, his eyes on me as I gasped with pleasure under his touch.
His head tilted slightly as he moved his hand down my stomach, popping open the button of my pants. Our tongues danced as he slipped a finger inside of me.
My head tipped back slightly, pressing against the wall as a moan escaped from between my lips. Each breath came fast as he increased the tempo of his movements.
“Oh, Darkness,” I cried as my fingers dug into his shoulders. It was hard to hold myself together with him. It was like he had complete control over my body and knew exactly where and when to touch me.
He lifted me away from the wall, carrying me to the middle of the floor. Darkness lowered me with ease onto a rug as the fireplace magically roared to life. Candles on the mantle and around the house were lit one by one.
Darkness grabbed the waistband of my pants and yanked them off with one quick movement. On his knees, he reached for my shirt, raising it over my head with one hand as the other unhooked my bra.
“I want to see you,” he whispered.
I felt intoxicated as I smiled back. “I want to see you too.”
Darkness sensually removed his clothes with languid grace as I pulled off my bra, carelessly flinging it to the side. He was a living masterpiece, perfect in every way.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he said as his eyes raked over me.
The glow in Darkness’s eyes intensified as his icy hands lazily slid up my thighs. My breath hitched as his fingers moved over my stomach, cupping my breast as he leaned down to pull my nipple into his warm mouth. A wave of heat spread from my core to the top of my head and the tips of my toes.
“Mm,” I purred as I reached down to feel him.
It was like his body was carved from granite, but his skin was made of rose petals. My heart pulsed faster and faster, threatening to burst out of my chest with each stroke, each caress.
All I wanted was for this moment to stretch on forever. When I was with him, there was nothing else to think about. Nothing to worry about. Everything was perfect.
As Darkness slipped deep inside, a raw cry of pleasure ripped from my throat. I felt as though I’d dissolved into the floor, completely consumed by him as his hips moved faster and harder. His insatiable hunger was unmistakable as his lips crashed into mine in a fervent kiss. Shivers rippled through me as his hands explored every inch of my body until I trembled beneath him.
“Hold on,” Darkness whispered into my ear, his breath tickling the side of my neck.
“I can’t,” I gasped.
“A little longer,” he begged, pushing himself even deeper. “Look at me.”
My eyelid flicked open, and I was greeted by a sparkle in his glowing eyes. He stroked my cheek with his thumb as he stared at me.
“You are my everything,” he said, placing a soft kiss on my lips. “Always and forever.”
My entire body blazed with desire. It was a need so incredibly strong and powerful that I could wait a moment longer.
As if he felt it too, Darkness hammered into me, sending a searing wave of pleasure pulsing through every inch of my body. I clawed at his back as my orgasm exploded, cascading through my veins like lightning bolts of bliss.
I cried out with sheer euphoria as our bodies collided in a frenzy of passion, desire, and need. My heart thundered in my chest as his body shuddered against mine, our simultaneous releases rocking us as one.
Darkness rolled to the side, his arms wrapped tightly around me. We lay in silence as we patiently waited for our breathing to return to normal.
After a long moment, he started chuckling. My eyes met his with curiosity.
“What’s so amusing?” I asked, looking up at him through heavy-lidded eyes as a smile played on my lips.
“I’m quite well rested now,” Darkness said, an impish grin curling his mouth. The brightness in his eyes faded only slightly as he sat up, flexing his muscles with deliberate grace. “Yes. Much better.”
I sat up, biting my lip as I looked around the room, waiting for something to surge through me. Nothing felt different except for the beads of sweat gathered at my temples.
“I’m glad you do,” I said, reaching for my shirt.
