Heart of the Gods (45 page)

“Raissa,” he breathed.

Her teeth sank into his throat slowly and he groaned in pleasure as he dragged her against him.

Ky felt her eyelashes flutter against his skin as her hot mouth settled against him and she let him fill it, it added a strange tenderness to the lust and need. He curled a hand into her hair to hold her mouth closer, his body hardening, tightening as he wrapped the other around her waist to pull her against him.

The taste of him burst into her mouth, brilliant, glorious and she hummed with pleasure. Ky shuddered.

It was maddening, the feel of him, of his growing arousal. Raissa struggled for control.

Softly, she growled against his skin.

Her mouth was filled with him, so rich, so full, so incredible, he tasted like a fine rich port, thick and glorious. She took a mouthful, another.

Ky’s hand locked in her hair tightly as she stroked him, drank him and then he could only brace himself against the elevator walls as her arms twined around him. Pleasure poured through him as she fed on him until he shuddered with it, pouring into her hand.

Her body jolted as his pleasure hit her mouth, exploded through her…as she sucked in great mouthfuls. Control snapped…and she sucked and suckled on him, filled herself with him, taking in mouthfuls, his taste was so rich, so vibrant… More. She battened on him…filled herself with the marvelous taste of him, the glory that was Ky.

There was a ding as they reached the basement.

Doors opened, closed. They were oblivious.

The elevator rose.

Raissa leaned back a little, her tongue flicking over her lips to catch the last drop of him on her lips, an incredibly erotic gesture.

“Feel better?” he asked, brushing the hair back from her face.

Her smile was wry, amused, a little abashed. “Much.”

In wonder, Raissa traced the line of his beard where it framed his mouth, her fingers light on his lips. He was so beautiful, with his high cheekbones and full mouth. She just shook her head in amazement.

Ky smiled just to look at her but more, at the look in her eyes, cupping her cheek and lowering his forehead to hers.

“Love you, too, wife,” he said, stealing a line from one of his favorite old movies.

Her smile was brilliant, glorious as she looked up at him. “Love you, too, husband.”

“So, Peru?”
