Mina’s body burned. She’d been burning since he touched her on the horse. Her mind had a thousand pieces of thought floating around in different directions, but at this moment, she didn’t want to think about it. All she wanted to think about was the way his touch made her body come alive.
Reaching down, Vlad slid his hands along the back of her thighs, and he lifted her off the ground. She hooked her legs around his waist, and he marched down the hall as her mouth trailed over his jawline, and down his neck. His skin felt smooth against her tongue and impossibly cool.
She heard the opening of a door, and then abruptly the world turned sideways, as she tipped backward, and he gently laid her out on a large bed covered in furs and black silk. He settled his weight between her thighs, and his mouth trailed down over her jaw, to her neck, and down to where her shirt dipped between her breasts.
“Mina,” he groaned, licking the path of a vein that lined the swell of her breast.
Her fingers threaded into his hair, and she pulled him up to her lips again, kissing him softly.
He growled, deepening the kiss for a moment before he spoke. “I need to know how gentle I need to be with you, Princess.”
Mina took a deep breath, and she pivoted her hips, knocking him sideways. She knew logically he only moved because he let her move him, and in the blink of an eye, she straddled him on the bed. She gave him one last kiss, and sat up, letting her hair hang over one shoulder.
Her fingers began undoing the ties of her jacket, and she smiled down at him. He watched as she stripped the fabric away, and just as she began to unhook her corset, his hand shot up to stop her. Vlad sat up and they were nose to nose as he took over the process, undoing the belts holding her together.
He pried the leather away, and she exhaled, shuddering as the delicious chills spread over her body. She tipped her head back as his cool hands slid over her ribcage, and cupped her breasts through the fabric.
His fingers closed on her right nipple pinching it gently between his knuckles and she whimpered, bringing her face back to his.
“Be gentle with me, at your own risk,” she warned, reaching between them to undo the clasp of his belt.
He narrowed his eyes at her, and his hands found her hips again. “I’ll ask you one last time, Princess. Is this what you want?”
Mina groaned, leaning her forehead against his. Why couldn’t he just stop talking? “I’ve got a thousand things bouncing around my mind, but …this weirdly is the only one that makes any sense right now, and I am going to cling to it while I can.”
He nodded slowly. “I understand.”
Mina met his gaze, and she had no doubt in her mind that he did understand her. He’d seemed to understand everything she was going through from the moment she arrived.
“By the Crone, how do you do that,” she growled against his lips in another kiss. Her fingers tugged at his shirt, she needed to feel his skin.
Vlad chuckled against her lips, and he pulled her shirt up forcing her to lean back as he removed the fabric tossing it to the side. His kiss trailed down over her collarbone again, and he flipped them over again, leaning back to untie her boots. Her hair spread out around her on the pillow, and her chest rose and fell in exaggerated pants. She’d never been with a man brave enough to take control. She’d only had two lovers in her life, and neither of them had been very brave at all.
Once her boots were gone, he worked on her belt, removing her pants, and in no time at all, she lay naked beneath him on the bed. She felt his eyes roaming her body like lightning dancing across her skin.
“I have been thinking about this since you first let me touch you on the horse,” he said, sliding down the bed. His hands found her knees, and gently guided her legs apart as he lowered himself down to kiss the soft hollow between her breasts. His breath ghosted along her skin and he kissed her right hip, and then her left thigh.
Mina tried to prop herself up on her elbows to watch how his tongue danced over her skin, but he was too quick, his fingers massaging her thighs until finally, one traced the seam of her sex, and every nerve in her body stood at attention.
He parted her folds and looking up at her with a wicked grin, he dipped down to the apex of her thighs. He drew his tongue over her clit, and she groaned, laying back against the pillows, grabbing fists full of fur and silk.
“Vlad,” she groaned, and her toes curled as he chuckled against her wet flesh.
“That’s it, Starlight. Let me hear you,” he said, and then returned to her clit, licking and sucking all sense evaporated from Mina’s mind.
“Are you ready for me?” he asked, slipping a finger further along her sex, his voice rumbling against her thigh.
“Please,” Mina whimpered, trying to push up on her elbows again.
Vlad met her desperate gaze and smiled as he slipped a long finger inside her, curling it around, stroking her in that spot that no one else ever seemed to reach. Mina gasped, her body trembling but she couldn’t look away. Even as he slipped another finger inside her, thrusting it alongside the other, she was trapped in that gaze, that burning fire.
A whimper caught in her throat, as that rouge coil of desire that had been twisting and twisting in her gut threatened to snap.
“Come for me, Starlight.”
Mina threw back her head and exploded, collapsing back to the pillows once more as her hips rocked against his palm, following the ecstasy of her release, riding the waves. His fingers never stopped moving, even as his mouth closed on her clit a second time, drawing it between his teeth, sucking hard.
