ELOWEN
Aldric carries me into my room, kicking the door shut behind him. The urgency in his step sends a thrill shooting through me. He sets me down on the edge of the bed, his eyes locked onto mine, a hunger burning within them that I've come to recognize.
"I'm going to claim you, Elowen," he says, his voice a low growl that resonates in my core. "I'm going to make you my mate in every way."
Anticipation builds through me, heightening the moment, as he leans in, claiming my mouth with a deep, passionate kiss. His lips are fierce and demanding, igniting a fire within me that matches his own. I reach up, running my fingers through his short, dark hair, pulling him closer.
He breaks away just long enough to whisper, "You're mine, Elowen. Now and always."
His hands move to the straps of my dress, slowly pushing them down my body as he trails kisses down my neck, my collarbone, each touch of his lips sending jolts of electricity through me.
I pull my arms through the loops, allowing him to push the dress to my waist and baring my upper half to him completely.His mouth moves lower, kissing every inch of exposed skin as if it were sacred ground.
I gasp as he leans me back and pulls the dress down my hips, his fingers brushing against my heated skin. He looks up at me, a wicked grin on his face, before kneeling before me.
I watch, breathless, as he slides the fabric off my legs, his lips following the path, kissing my thighs, my knees, my calves, until he's kneeling at my feet. He looks up at me, his silver eyes gleaming with desire and something more—a promise, a vow.
"I'm going to worship every part of you," he says, his voice husky with need. "I'm going to make you feel like the goddess you are. And when you come, Red, I want you to scream my name loud enough for everyone to hear."
Aldric trails kisses back up my legs, his strong hands gripping my hips, driving me crazy. I squirm beneath his touch, not out of a desire to escape, but from an overwhelming need for more.
He chuckles, a low rumble that vibrates against my skin. "Patience, Red. I'm going to take my time with you."
My breath hitches as he parts my thighs, his fingers tracing patterns on my skin, igniting a trail of fire in their wake. I can't take my eyes off him—his dark hair, his piercing silver eyes, the raw intensity etched onto his every feature.
He lowers his head, his breath hot against my sensitive flesh. The first touch of his tongue sends a jolt through me, an electric shock that has me arching off the bed. He laughs again, clearly enjoying the effect he has on me.
His fingers join his mouth, exploring and teasing, driving me to the brink of madness. Each stroke, each lick, stokes the flames within me, building a pressure that threatens to explode.
I grasp at the sheets, my knuckles white, as the sensations grow more intense. Aldric's hands grip my thighs, holding me open, exposing me completely to his ministrations. There's no escape, no respite from the torturous pleasure he inflicts.
My moans fill the room, growing louder and more urgent with each passing moment. I can feel the tension coiling tighter and tighter within me, my body shaking with the effort to hold back the inevitable.
But Aldric is relentless. His mouth moves faster, his fingers delve deeper, pushing me beyond any semblance of control. I can't hold back any longer. The pressure breaks, and a wave of intense pleasure crashes over me, succumbing to his expert touch.
"Aldric!" His name tears from my lips, a scream that echoes through the room, a declaration of surrender and ecstasy. My body shudders with the force of my climax, every nerve ending alight with sensation.
As the waves of pleasure begin to subside, I'm left panting, my body limp and sated. Aldric looks up at me, a satisfied smirk on his face. "That was just the beginning, Red."
He licks me clean, making me shudder from the sensations, before kissing the sensitive insides of my thighs. His teeth scrape over the spot there, and lust shoots through me, remembering the last time he bit me.
He must see the spark in my eyes because he grins. "You want my bite?" He nips at my flesh and I jolt. "Want to be drunk on me while I fuck you senseless, Red?"
Wetness pools between my legs as I whimper, "Yes." His hands tighten on me, and a little louder I say, "I want my taste on your tongue and my blood in your veins while you fuck me."
Aldric groans loudly at my words. "Good." His voice is husky, his hands clamping down harder as he brings his mouth to my inner thigh.
He thrusts a finger inside of me as his mouth parts against my skin, pumping in and out of me to distract me from the sting of his bite. But the euphoria comes immediately after, my walls clamping down on him as he adds another.
Aldric drinks greedily from my body, sending wave after wave of pleasure through me with his venom alone. My body feels alive, like it's floating and flying and everything is so intense. I've never had pleasure like this before him, but it pours through my veins, every pump of his fingers making my body jerk up as the bliss blinds me.
"That's it, Red." He groans as he licks my leg and the blood dribbling there. "Fuck, that's it."
I come again, the intensity of it too much for me to hold back, and he groans as he pumps harder, watching my body jerk against him.
When I finally finish, he withdraws, sucking his fingers clean and making me whimper. He gives me a wicked smile as he climbs up my body. "How do you feel?"
"So fucking good," I murmur, the pleasure pounding through me. It's a tangible thing. "But I need you." I reach out to him, pulling him. "I need you in me."
