CHAPTER 4

“Please…” she uttered absentmindedly. And before she could process what she had even spouted, his lips were suddenly on hers.

Surprised, she sucked in a sharp breath, only for him to take advantage and deepened the kiss. And the moment his tongue slid inside her mouth, shivers erupted all over her skin.

She was instantly overwhelmed by the pleasure.

There was something different with his kisses… something words couldn't even seem to explain... a kind she'd never tasted or experienced before. And to think that this was all because of a kiss!

“Oh, little dove…” he whispered. “Your mouth is... ecstasy.”

Sela wanted to protest with that statement. She should be the one saying that. She’d kissed a few boys in her life, and none had ever felt like this. NONE!

Her head spun as she felt his lips press against hers once more.

It was crazy.

She was crazy for wantonly allowing… this vampire… to keep devouring her mouth like this. She should be thinking of her safety… that this must be him prepping her, using his bewitching allure or whatever power he had on her, just before he eats her alive. But gods! How… just how could she resist this? Just how?

“Mm.” he growls in delight, and she finally realized that her hands were entwined around his neck. "My patience to savor more of you—every part of you—has reached its limit," he added as his wicked mouth traveled down south.

The moment his wet, icy tongue latched onto the burning skin of her neck, a moan was torn from her lips. It’s like ice and fire were colliding, and the feeling was simply… indescribable.

She threw her head back, even as she knew that this one gesture could be the end of her.

She was crazy. Whoever this man was… he’d bewitched her, altered the chemistry of her brain into something utterly useless, hopeless. Because, girl, no one throws their head back and exposes their neck like this before a vampire!

And then a voice in her mind reminded her that it was okay since this definitely wasn’t real. That this was just a dream and that she’d definitely wake up soon in her bed. That she should just indulge herself with this exhilarating dream... With this breathtakingly seductive man she will never get to see and feel again once she wakes up!

Most of her immediately agreed. And she told herself that no matter how real everything felt, there was just no way this was reality. No freaking way! Only lunatics would believe this was real! Right?

Another latch on her skin made her moan, sending all her thoughts flying out the window once again. And then she felt a graze from something sharp that made her shiver. That should be enough to jolt her, yet it only made her heart race with more thrill and exhilaration.

And just like that, pleasure immediately took over her entire being.

"I am to take you as mine, this instant." He stared at her with eyes so impossibly compelling. “Say yes, little dove.”

When she couldn’t answer, his hand moved, cupping her breast through her thin, silky nightgown. Bolts of pleasure darted through her, and when he gently flicked her nipple, a gasp was torn from her lips.

“I am waiting,” he said, swiping his thumb once more over her now hard bud. Her already disjointed thoughts scattered as her body reacted on its own, arching into his touch.

He pulled away. And Sela almost whined in protest. “If you do not answer me… I might –”

“Yes.” Her face burned at how fast she said that one word. But she didn’t care. Nobody cared. This wasn’t real anyway.

He chuckled again. Lord... that sound might even be worth selling her soul for!

“Good girl.” He drawled and she felt the wet, shiver-inducing slide of his tongue through her thin, silken nightgown. His mouth closed over the tip of her breast, and then he sucked causing her back arched involuntarily.

He didn’t stop. He lapped at her breast until gasps and moans began to spill from her mouth.

“Oh, Little Dove… You are so… exquisite.” A deep rumbling growl came from his throat. And that delicious sound traveled straight to her core. “You are so… mine.”
