Page 161 of A Fate in Flames

His fire slithered over my skin, teasing, taunting.Phantom chains wound around my wrists.Not tight enough to hold me.Not yet.

Strands of his midnight hair brushed my cheek as his hand dragged down my ribs, searing a path lower until I trembled beneath his touch.

I arched my back, pressing against him.Needy for more.

His lips brushed my ear.“You will take every inch of me.”

I moaned, arching further.

“I will ruin you,” he continued, his finger moving even lower, pressing firmly against the slick heat between my legs.“I will fuck you, until you crave nothing but me.Until my name is the only prayer on those sweet lips.”

I was already his.My thoughts.My very existence.Every thread had unravelled for him, leaving nothing but raw desire.

He traced my jaw with his lips before they ghosted over my neck.His teeth grazed my delicate skin.

“You will worship me,” he whispered against my fluttering pulse, “as I worship you, Elira.”

A violent tremor wracked my body.His words sank into my bones, igniting something carnal.

He shoved his knee between my thighs, forcing them apart.

“Eyes on me.”

My eyes snapped open.

With one swift, brutal thrust, he slammed into me.

I screamed.

Dalkhan growled, grabbing my throat as he set a punishing rhythm.Each thrust wrecking me—each snap of his hips owning me.

“Just like that,” he snarled, his pace unrelenting as he shifted, hitting that devastating angle repeatedly.

Stars burst behind my eyes.

“Let them hear you.Let everyone know who you belong to.”

I screamed until my voice broke, my body trembling.The pleasure building to unbearable heights.

He drove into me harder, his power coiling around my body like serpents made of flame.Fire licked up the walls, dancing across the ceiling.The world outside this room didn’t exist.

There was only him.

“Say it,” he demanded, his hand tightening its grip on my throat.He forced me up against him until we were chest to chest.“Tell me who you belong to.”

“You,” I gasped, clutching his shoulders.

His grip tightened, just enough to make the edges of my vision blur.“Louder.”

“You!”I cried, the word torn from my soul.“Only you, Dalkhan.Always you.”

A wicked sound escaped him.

He flipped us in one swift motion, his hands on my hips, positioning me over him.

“Ride me.”

I sank down, my body stretching around his impossible size.
