CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE

Ellery

My pull toward him grew as I lowered my legs to press myself against his flesh, but though the barrier of my clothing was small, it felt like a wall between us. When he released my hair and broke the kiss again, he tugged off his shirt. The wind swept it into the trees, and our eyes met.

The wildness of his pure black eyes with the lightning bolts firing through them awed me. Placing my hands on his neck, I used my thumbs to wipe away the rain as I traced his high cheekbones, chiseled jaw, and the black stubble lining it.

He was beautiful and mine .

The trees clacked and crashed as they banged together and fell to the earth. The wind whipped around us as lightning slashed across the sky before striking the ground.

The world was a savage place. An answering savagery lived within me; it sought to join us, but I continued staring at him as his gaze searched my face and our powers swelled around us.

When his hands slid under my shirt and pushed upward, I gasped as his warm, calloused palms skimmed over my skin. He lifted my shirt higher, and I released him to raise my arms above my head; he tugged it off before throwing it aside.

His eyes latched onto my chest and the simple cloth bra Scarlet taught me how to create. Here, in the woods, there were no luxuries, and the piece of clothing was far from sexy, but he gazed at me like he was going to devour me.

The bra had no hook; it slid over my head and was pulled into place. Ryker tugged it up and the wind carried it away.

With my breasts exposed, he rested his palms on my upper back and held me in place. His mouth tongued my nipple before giving it a little tug that dug my heels deeper into his taut ass.

The ache between my legs intensified, and I rubbed against him to ease it, but that only made me crave having him inside me more. Only he could put out the fire he stoked so easily within me.

When he moved lower down my body, I arched back to expose more of myself to him. He kissed and nipped at my flesh, leaving little red marks behind to further solidify his brand on me.

When he reclaimed my mouth, I glided my fingers down his back. The corded muscles that could easily bring me harm, but would only ever shield me, rippled beneath my touch.

I grasped his ass, pulling him closer, and moaned into his mouth as I rubbed my clit along his rigid length. His hands found the button of my pants and undid it.

I was reluctant to release my grip on his waist or give up the amazing sensation of his cock sliding between my legs, but I needed to fuck him, and that was impossible with my pants still on. Releasing my death grip, I lowered my feet and pushed my pants and underwear down my hips.

I kicked out of my boots and shimmied my clothes the rest of the way off as he stripped. And then he returned to me, and I eagerly went into his arms to kiss him again.

I didn’t feel the rain or the crackle of electricity as my fingers slid through his drenched hair and his shaft teased my entrance. I bit his bottom lip to let him know I wouldn’t tolerate him tormenting me today.

I would have him now .

He must have understood my urgency, or experienced his own increasing demand, because instead of teasing me, he grasped my hips and drove me onto him. I cried out as his large, swollen cock stretched and filled me.

With him buried deep inside, our bodies and powers joined as we became one. The passion of it was almost more than I could bear as his mouth caught my cry, and a burst of power erupted from us.

Its energy wave emanated across the forest as more of it grew between us.
