She straddled my hips, disheveled hair tumbling over her full breasts, a bemused expression on her face.

“Think you can do better?” I challenged.

“Most certainly.” She bit her lip, her eyes darkening with a determination that had my manhood twitching.

She ran her scorching palms down my chest, and I held back a groan. I’d not allowed anyone to touch me in such a way in eons, refusing to give up control. With Runa, though, I couldn’t resist giving her free rein of my body, curious to see what she would do. Since we’d become allies, there had been an unspoken tension between us, both of us battling to determine who would lead our ragtag team.

At my restrained response, an evil light glimmered in her violet eyes, and she tried again. Only this time, it was her nails that raked my flesh, the burn a perfect mix of pain and pleasure. My pectorals jumped beneath her ministrations. She smirked, hooking her fingers into the waist of my thin pants.

There, she stilled, canting her head at me in question, and Inodded. At my agreement, she dragged the pants down my hips and tossed them away. Biting her plump lip again, she stared at my eager cock.

“Why, Lord Custodis, I believe you’ve been holding out on me.”

“I have been told that I’m a spectacular specimen of the vampire race.”

“And humble to boot,” she scoffed.

I snagged her wrist and placed her heated palm over my aching shaft. “You disagree?” I asked on an exhale.

When I released her hand, Runa stroked my length from base to tip.

“It will do.”

I couldn’t keep the groan from escaping my throat. The sorceress had magical hands.

She angled her body over me, her full breasts grazing my chest while her talented palm continued to stroke, and I was nearly undone.

Exhaling a growl, I cupped her head and smashed my mouth into her lips. My little thief opened, allowing me entrance, and our tongues battled, fighting for dominance. Pain pierced my bottom lip. The metallic flavor of my own blood danced along my palate, igniting a fire in my veins. The little minx had bitten me.

Despite the tangled locks I clenched in my fingers, Runa shoved free, breaking the kiss. “Now, now, vampire. You said it was my turn.”

Before I could growl an objection, she slid down my torso, tasting, licking, nipping. When she gripped my hips, peering up, my breath lodged beneath my ribs.

“Eyes on me,” she commanded before her pink tongue darted out, laving my manhood like a carnival treat.

My lids grew heavy, and I struggled to keep my eyes from rolling back in my head. “You fight dirty, pet,” I groaned as hermouth closed around me. I didn’t dare to look away for fear she’d stop.

Gods, but the sight of her plump lips sliding on my cock threatened to drive me mad. “Runa,” I grated.

“Hmm?” she hummed, and the vibration combined with her talented mouth nearly caused me to lose control.

“Runa,” I tried again. Damn her, but she added a twist of her tongue that had me seeing stars.

“Runa!” I fisted her hair, and she finally released me, gliding up my body to straddle my hips.

She ground her slick folds against my throbbing shaft in retaliation and leaned in close, saying against my lips, “That’s right, vampire. Scream my name.”

“Little vixen.”

She uttered a yelp as I rolled her beneath me.

“You’ll pay for that.”

She grinned. “I regret nothing.”

I’d soon have her singing a new tune. “Is that so?” I caressed her from breast to thigh, then tugged her leg over my hip. My fingers skated through her slick folds, and she exhaled a soft moan.

“Did you enjoy toying with me?”
