She froze for a moment as thoughts swirled in her brain, wondering where she should start. Although they’d had sex, she hadn’t pleasured him with her mouth and her hands.

“It’s all about doing what feels good. If you don’t like something, let me know and we’ll stop. But listen to your instincts and don’t let your thoughts get in the way.”

Neri blew out a relieved breath before she tilted forward and captured his lips with hers and lost herself in their kiss. In the short time she’d known Hunter, kissing both centered her and drove her crazy with need. Her pulse pounded as blood rushed through her body, making her skin sensitive and when he gripped her hips and pulled her closer to devour her mouth, she almost came.

With reluctance, she broke the kiss and moved her mouth down his jawline and pressed her lips against his neck just below his ear. His moan passed through her and she shuddered with need. Her movements came to a stop as she opened her mouth and almost begged him to take her, but this was about him. She wanted to give him pleasure.

Her mouth moved over his throat and near the indent of his neck and shoulder. She sucked the skin into her mouth and grunted when Hunter’s hips shot up, searching for relief. Neri scraped her teeth along his collarbone and this time, he clutched her close and moaned her name.

“I never knew.”

Neri’s eyes shot to his face. “Knew what, love?”

“A simple touch, a simple kiss is as erotic as making love with you.”

Her lips smiled against his pectoral and instead of answering, she explored. Kissing and nipping his skin as her mouth traveled toward his nipple. She loved it when he suckled her and wanted to know if it was as intense for him.

“Oh,fuck.”

A giggle escaped as she received her answer, but soon turned into a moan as Hunter wiggled beneath her and she moved to his other nipple, flicking her tongue against the hardened nub, savoring the salty taste on his skin. She was growing addicted to him, not only his body but everything that entailed Hunter. His caring nature and how he accepted her as his mate. She realized how much he loved the people in his life and she hoped to be one someday.

Shaking her head to quell her thoughts, she moved lower before she moaned against Hunter’s stomach. Her tongue traced each defined muscle, loving how he sucked in his stomach and clenched his fists at his sides as she explored every inch of him.

Although she had a love/hate relationship at times with being an immortal, being able to remember Hunter’s skin against her own and how he reacted to her explorations, seared in her memory forever.

“You’re killing me, angel.”

Neri smiled, moving her mouth to trace over his hipbones and the cut that led to his cock, her final destination. She didn’t care if he entered her. She wanted to watch him lose control.

“What—”

She wrapped her hand around the base of his cock she savored the warmth radiating from him. She settled the rest of her body to lie on the bed in between his legs but a sudden worry entered her mind when he jerked in her grip and she glanced up.

“Am I too cold?”

Hunter froze and his head shot up off the pillow to stare at her, his eyes wide with realization.

“Since I claimed you, your skin hasn’t been cold to the touch. Or I’m used to it by now, I can’t tell. But no, you’re perfect.”

He choked on the last word when Neri, unable to stay away from tasting him, swallowed the head of his cock and swirled her tongue around the base of the head, savoring the liquid that burst on her tongue.

Focused on the task at hand, Hunter’s gasps and the stuttered partial exclamations erupting from his throat were secondary to memorizing the veins on the underside of his cock as she swallowed more of him.

Her tongue never stopped moving, flicking back and forth on the slit whenever she pulled up and tracing each inch of velvety skin when she swallowed him down. When she noticed Hunter’s body vibrating below her, she blinked back into reality and glanced up, her mouth stretched open on his cock.

She pulled off and searched Hunter’s face before she asked, “Am I doing this wrong?”

A choked laugh had Neri’s brows drawing down in confusion. Then he dropped his forearm over his eyes.

“Your mouth should be illegal, angel. I never expected you to do that. You surprised me when you did. But it was the sensations of your tongue and your mouth on my cock… I almost lost control in less than a minute. That would have been embarrassing.”

Neri shook her head. “No, it means you enjoyed it enough to come.”

His arm moved away from his eyes before he glanced down to capture her gaze. “I don’t know what I did in this life or the one previous, but I thank whatever deity above for the simple fact they brought you into my life. You, Neri, are perfect for me and I hope I’m the same for you.”

“You are, Hunter. I feel it in every fiber of my being. But, where was I before you interrupted?”

Without waiting for an answer, she swallowed him down and although unable, she tried to smile around his huge cock in her mouth.
