Seduced by Magic (15 page)

With a groan, she tried to pull him closer, lifting her legs to wrap them around his waist. She arched, trying to pull him into her, but the stubborn man still refused to cooperate.

Instead, he backed off, easing down her body to suck first one nipple then the other into his mouth. He nipped at her, played with her, his tongue licking strands of fire along her skin. Her sex clenched, concentrating her desire into a physical ache.

Finally he finished with her breasts, but still the man denied her. He continued to kiss his way down her body, stopping to flick his tongue into her bellybutton for just a second before his mouth came tantalizingly close to her mound.

He blew a soft breath across her curls, making her lift off the bed, trying to get closer.

“Don’t hurt yourself, baby,” he murmured. “I’ll give you what you want.”

Then he made good on his promise by lowering his mouth and swiping his tongue at her clit. She gasped at the relief combined with heightened pleasure, her body tightening as he made love to her with his mouth.

Her fingers wound into his hair to hold him in place even though he’d made no move to withdraw. He toyed with her, taking long, wet swipes then spearing straight into her slit, fucking her with his tongue.

It felt good, her body moving closer to that elusive orgasm. She let her body relax, waiting…

And nearly cried out when he moved away again.

“Justin! You will take me. Right now,” she demanded, pounding her fists on the bed. She opened her eyes to glare at him, so sure he’d be smiling. But he wasn’t.

With slow deliberation, he sat back on his heels then began to drag her closer, his hands on her thighs. The sheets rubbed against her skin and she inhaled his aroused scent with every breath.

Blue eyes blazing, he slid her ass up over his knees and onto his thighs. But still he would not penetrate her.

“What does blood-bound mean, Red?” he asked. “Because if it means forever, I want to do it. Now.”

Now?
Great Goddess, she could barely speak, let alone think. Still, she nodded, the needs of her body trying to derail her thoughts. Forcing her brain to focus, she said, “It 119

does. It means that when we are reincarnated in our next life, in all our lives, we’ll be able to find one another.”

Justin’s expression didn’t change a bit. “Then let’s do it. And fast, ’cause I can’t hold on much longer.”

Without a second thought, she used her fingernail to make a scratch on her left breast, leaving a thin trail of blood.

Then she looked into his eyes. “You have to be very sure, Justin.”

His gaze never wavered. “I’ve never been surer about anything in my life.”

With a smile, she cut his chest with her fingernail at the exact spot where their skins would press together.

Then she drew his chest down to her and lifted her hips toward him. “Now, Justin.”

He took her in one hard thrust then set a tantalizing pace, his hips pumping in a steady rhythm that only served to heighten her desire.

Hands on his shoulders, she held on, willing to let him take her wherever he wanted to go. And right now it seemed he only wanted to make her insane with lust.

Without breaking skin contact, ensuring their blood mingled, he thrust in and out, each time making sure the base of his cock hit her clit.

She felt her orgasm building but fought it back, wanting this moment to last until they either passed out from exhaustion or combusted from the heat building between them.

A flash of electricity between their bodies made her gasp as the blood-bound spell began its work, wrapping around them, fusing their essences together until she wasn’t sure where his life force began and hers ended.

She’d never felt anything so wonderful in her entire life. And from the glow in his eyes, he felt it too. “Justin.” She didn’t know what else to say, she just couldn’t stay silent and his name was as close to a blessing as she was going to get right now.

But it was enough to make him groan low in his throat, almost a growl, and his hips began to move faster. He repositioned his body and slipped one arm under her hips to lift her more tightly against him.

His balls slapped against her ass and the new position made the pressure on her clit a constant thrill. Her eyelids drifted closed now as his name became a constant refrain on her lips.

“No, don’t close your eyes.” Justin’s voice sounded so close he might as well have spoken inside her head. “I want you to look at me, Red. I want you to see me.”

Her eyes flew open and she moved her hands from his shoulders to cup his face. “I only see you, Justin. I’ll only ever see you.”

His smile ignited her orgasm deep inside, a warm pulse that became a burning flash. And still she kept eye contact because that was what Justin wanted.

She cried out as she convulsed around him and, finally, she had to close her eyes when Justin groaned out her name and froze.

She felt his cock jerk inside her, a wet warmth coating her channel, and then he thrust once more as if trying to get as deeply inside her as he could. Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, she held him there, tilted her hips even farther to take more of him.

They lay there, bodies pressed together, both attempting to catch their breath. After a few minutes, she turned and pressed a kiss to his neck.

He stirred enough to pull out of her and shift his body to her side, dragging her with him and enfolding her in his arms until she was flush against him.

As if he was worried she might try to get away.

She attempted to put a little space between them but his arms tightened. So she moved her lips closer to his ear.

“I’m not going anywhere, Justin,” she whispered. “I’ll be with you always. I love you.”

She felt his smile against her cheek. “Good choice, babe. ’Cause you know I don’t want to live without you.”

Without warning, she flipped him onto his back and sat on his stomach, surprising a laugh out of him. “Then just lie back and hold on.”

The End
