Story: Rhapsodic
His hand drifts up from my chest and cradles my neck. He gazes at me like I’m some archaic deity he worships.
“Desmond.”
His eyes move to my lips, and ever so slowly, he lowers his head. I meet him halfway, our mouths colliding. Both his hands move to either side of my face, tangling in my hair.
I don’t try to stop the siren from taking the lead as soon as I give in. My skin glows brighter, and I wrap my arms around him, pulling him in close.
He breaks away, trailing kisses along the underside of my jaw, my neck, the juncture between my collarbones.
I make a small noise at the back of my throat, and I feel his smile along my skin. His hair tickles my flesh where it touches me, and the Bargainer’s lips … they’re moving lower, towards the valley between my breasts.
We’re not stopping with just kisses. Not tonight.
His breath fans out along my skin, and I arch into him. He pulls away long enough to remove my shirt, then my bra. Tossing the garments aside, he spends several seconds gazing at my exposed torso. The look in his eyes is hungry.
He’s never seen me naked before—and I’ve never seen him naked before, for that matter. The realization is shocking, considering all we’ve done.
Reaching behind his back, Des shrugs his own shirt off, and I marvel at his sculpted pecs, his toned arms, his rock hard stomach. I skim my fingers over each of his abs, for the first time ever feeling like I have a right to touch him. He looks carved from marble, his skin taut over thick ropes of muscle. Not bulky like Eli is, but every bit as chiseled.
Soulmates.
He is mine, and I am his.
I’m almost dizzy with joy. Have I ever been this happy in my entire life?
The Bargainer scoops me up and carries me down the hall and into his bedroom, kicking the door shut behind us.
He lays me out on his bed, then lowers himself over me, his narrow hips nestled between my thighs. Even just that contact has me moving against him, impatient for more.
But unlike me, Des seems to have limitless patience, his gaze moving to my bare chest. His hand cups my breast, his thumb moving in circles around my nipple until it hardens. He bends down to it, his lips replacing his fingers. His tongue moves over it, and I arch into him.
Jesus, he’s going to make me come before we’re even fully undressed.
My hands move over the muscles of his back, my fingers clutching him close.
His mouth trails down my stomach, his hands sliding down either side of me. The Bargainer glances at me through his lashes when he hits the waistband of my jeans.
“Take them off,” I breathe.
He doesn’t do anything for a second, and I get the impression he’s savoring this moment. Then he moves back up and kisses me. While he does this, I feel the brush of his magic. A moment later, my pants unzip themselves and slide off.
I can’t help it, I break off the kiss to laugh.
The man himself grins down at me, but the humor in his expression fades into something far more wicked.
His face is inches from mine, his hair hanging down around his face.
“My mate,” I say wondrously.
“Your mate,” he repeats.
Even this is almost too much. My heart and my body can’t take so many good sensations all at once. I feel like I’m going to come apart, and when I finally put myself back together again, I won’t be the same Callie I once was.
I feel the breath of his magic again, and this time it’s his pants that slide off. I only have a couple seconds to appreciate his black boxer briefs before they drag themselves off as well.
I’ve imagined this so many times, yet my mind has never done him justice. Every curve of muscle that wraps around his thighs, the defined V that points to his very large cock, the way his waist tapers in and fluidly transitions to his narrow hips and sculpted ass—it’s better than anything my mind could conjure.
He lets me drink him in for a moment, and then he drapes himself back over me, his erection pressed firmly against my leg.
