Page 41 of Hearts on Fire

“Wait…just give me a minute.” I yanked at his hair, not letting his head come any closer.

His body was so hot, I had to give mine some time to adjust. He stuck his tongue out, reaching to flick it over my most sensitive spot. The heated touch sent a wave of shivers through me, a wave of pure pleasure.

“So…good,” I moaned, loosening my grip on his hair.

Unrestrained, Elex lapped at me in earnest. The heat of his tongue was everywhere, inside and out. His lips closed over me as he sucked, gently at first, but with ever-increasing intensity.

I let go of his hair completely, surrendering all control to him. Tossing my arms over my head, I let the pleasure take me.

Heat surged through me from the spot where his mouth was making love to me. It spread through my entire body, from the tips of my fingers clasped over my head to my toes propped on his shoulders.

He increased the pressure, moving his tongue faster. I lifted my hips, pressing into his mouth.

“More… Oh…” Orgasm tingled up my thighs. Pleasure exploded through my core. Speechless, I could only gasp for air as the most intense climax rocked my body.

Elex gently massaged my thighs. Kissing between my legs, he took me through the swells of bliss, one by one.

“Oh, wow. You…” I let my arms fall at my sides. My legs draped weakly over his shoulders like two cooked noodles, boneless.

He pulled himself up along my body. His full lips glistened, stretched into a happy grin.

“Come here.” Cupping his face, I placed a kiss on his warm mouth.

I slid a hand between us and found his hard length. It was almost too hot to touch as I carefully wrapped my fingers around it. He eagerly thrust his hips into my hand.

“You feel like you’re about to burst into flames, darling,” I murmured.

“You have no idea,” he growled with a tortured groan.

“Can you…um, cool it off a bit, please? I’m worried this thing would give me blisters…from the inside.” I giggled awkwardly, but there was no other way to put it. I did worry about his fire dick burning all my delicate places.

He rose over me on his elbows. His arms shook with strain.

“I’ll try,” he gritted through his teeth. Leaning his forehead to my shoulder, he stilled.

Gargoyles regulated their body temperature at will. At the moment, however, Elex seemed too wound up to cool off on his own.

I thought about the ways to help him.

“Think about the snow. Cold, white snow. Ice. Ice cream. A blizzard milkshake. Do you have something like that in Dakath? Drinking it too fast can give you a brain freeze. Maybe it could give you a dick freeze, too?” I stroked his shoulders soothingly, feeling rather sorry for him. With a gargoyle woman, this wouldn’t be an issue. But poor Elex had to deal with a delicate human, highly sensitive to extreme temperatures. “Do they make ice at the castle? Maybe we could make a cold pack for your crotch. Would that cool it off? Or will it just melt the ice, steaming up the place?”

“Amber!” He threw his head back with a strangled laugh. “Can you just…shut up? Please. It’s not helping.”

I pumped my hand along his length. It felt hot but far more manageable now.

“But I think it very much is.” I wiggled my eyebrows at him.

He laughed again, shaking his head.

“Oh, I love you.”

He said it so casually, as if he’d said it a million times before.

Or did it just slip off his tongue unintentionally?

I stilled, halting my breath. He kept quiet, and I ventured a glance at his face.

“I meant what I said.” He held my gaze.
