Orion’s hungry gaze slid over my body, wild with his desire. The forest air began to shift, growing heated now as the lust magic crackled between us.
The corners of his lips curled. “I must see all of my queen.” He slowly slid my underwear down my thighs, my calves. The cool forest air whispered over me, and wild need coiled tightly within me.
He was kissing me now, his mouth on my shoulders, my breasts. His lips closed over my nipples, making my back arch. His tongue swirled, his kiss devotional. With every brush of his lips and tongue, he claimed me. His mouth moved down to the hollow of my hips, and my body was on fire for him. A moan threatened to escape my lips.
When Orion spread my thighs, my body flushed. I was ready to cry out for him, my body ripe with desire.
I gripped his hair and lowered his mouth. Not a kiss this time. He raked his fangs across my inner thigh, the touch making my breath hitch. Teasing me. I wanted his mouth on me so desperately, his tongue inside me. I nearly crushed his head between my thighs.
“Now, Orion.” Not a plea this time. An order.

ORION
I dipped my tongue into the warmth between her perfect legs.
Locked in prison as I’d been for all those years, the number of women I’d actually seduced could be counted on one hand. I’d desperately needed to feed from their lust when I escaped, but those experiences had been nothing like this. That was merely feeding, satiating a need.
This was an act of devotion, and the woman lying before me was a goddess.
I greedily inhaled the perfume of her arousal, and it enflamed me. Wisps of heated magic rose from her body, stroking me as I kissed her. Holy hells, the hellfire within threatened to consume me. Rowan’s hips circled slowly once she made contact with my face, seeking the key to unlock her climax. But I wanted to keep her on the edge for just a little while because the air was aflame, and her power surged through my veins. I pulled back for a moment, and she barked another order for more, sounding more desperate this time.
She was mine, exactly as I needed her to be.
I pulled her tighter against me, allowing me even deeper access. My tongue swirled, licked, explored while her fingers ran through my hair. Her hips bucked as she moved against me, but I held on to the top of her thighs.
“You’ll be doing this…” she hissed, “every day.” She gasped, her hips moving up and down.
If I could have spoken, I would have agreed. Magic shimmered around her, lavender and gold, hot to the touch. She was right on the brink of release…
She tilted forward so I could reach her exactly where she needed me. I slid one finger into her heat, and she clenched around it, her muscles tight. A second finger glided in. As I moved my fingers in and out, I heard her shuddering cry. The orgasm ripped through her, and I felt as if the earth were shaking beneath us, and the air sparked with heat.
Her thighs tightened around me so hard that if I’d required breathing the way mortals do, I’d have been in real trouble. Rowan held me in place, undulating in her afterglow as I kissed and kissed.
But of course, I wasn’t yet done with my queen.

ROWAN
The reverent strokes of his tongue had left me dizzy, limp-limbed. Every one of my muscles had gone supple.
But he’d kept kissing at the apex of my thighs, and that molten need had built again. Orion, naked and glorious, moved up my body, his mouth on my skin. My hips, my breasts. Worshipful, indeed.
With each brush of his lips, liquid heat slid through me, and an ache coiled more tightly in me all over. Gentle and reverent though he was, I could feel the tension vibrating through him. His careful control could snap at any moment. My gaze slid down over his strong arms, the shadows carving his muscles. I gripped him by the shoulders and pulled him up higher over me. “More.”
“More,” he repeated.
My body was slick from lust and the humid air, ready for him.
His coal black eyes bored into me, letting me know he’d taken control. I raked my hands over his back, urging him into me. I brought my thighs up on either side of him and slid my hands toward his hips to move him closer. He paused at my entrance, teasing me, and my arousal unfurled in me. “I need you now, Orion.”
This time, he wasn’t making me beg. Rock hard, he slowly pushed into me, filling me. He stretched me just to the edge of discomfort. Oh, gods…
My head tilted back as the erotic charge hummed through my core. I whispered his name, raking my fingernails deeper into his flesh.
“Look into my eyes, love,” he murmured.
I met his gaze, my breath catching at his unreal beauty as I adjusted to his size. My thighs wrapped around him.
