That’s not the point.

She attempted to clamp her thighs closed, but his body blocked her.

“Having trouble?” he taunted.

“This isn’t—”

“Practical,” he finished for her. “Maybe. But I see it as a rational method of putting your body at ease. You deserve to be relaxed and comfortable, Caro. Let me help.”

Yes…

Oh, she shouldn’t.

But his thumb drew alluring circles against her, draining all the fight from her limbs.

Why stop him?

Because Seraphim weren’t supposed to feel.

Seraphim weren’t supposed to indulge in sweets either.

A moan slipped from her lips of its own accord, something he took as acceptance. Her panties disappeared with a snap, causing her to yelp in surprise.

“I’ll replace them,” he said, his mouth a breath away from her damp flesh.

He moves so fast…

Oh.

His tongue.

Yes.

There.

He seemed to know exactly what she craved without her uttering a single word or request. It was so wrong, this delirious sensation. And yet, so, so right.

She threaded her fingers through his hair and let her head fall back against the chair.

This man—this being—had changed a fundamental part of her. Her kind would be appalled. She should be appalled.

But how could she despise something that set her bloodstream on fire?

“Sethios,” she managed to whisper, unable to breathe. Her heart lodged in her throat as her limbs locked in place. It felt like death. Or rebirth. She couldn’t discern between the two. A precipice of greatness, shrouded in foreign sensation that teetered her right on the edge of a cliff.

And then she was flying, soaring through the clouds of ecstasy. Pins and needles mingled with shocks, scouring her soul and catapulting her high into the sky and beyond.

Totally different this time.

So much more intense.

Almost as if she’d held back during every orgasm with him before. And now that she’d accepted the inevitable, it took her to a state of being she didn’t know existed.

“Again,” she whispered as reality began to surface. “Please.”

His green eyes grinned up at her. “Only because you asked so sweetly.” He licked her deep, sending vibrations of lust through her veins. “You’re mine, Caro.”

She shook her head even as his claim latched onto her heart.
