you.”
Anticipation thudded in her heart. She peered through her lashes at him, wondered exactly what he meant, and stopped cold at the lust in his gaze.
But he didn’t make a move.
To hell with waiting.
“What exactly are you saying?”
“You cannot live in your cottage anymore,” he proclaimed.
Right. Like he would decide that for her.
“The Fae know where you live. They will come after you.”
That was what he meant. Screw that. “I’ve taken care of myself for ten long years. I’ll be fine.”
Lili pushed the soft satin sheets from her naked body. Naked?
Her breasts swung in the cool sea air, her nipples tightened painfully.
Gaap’s gaze was glued to her body.
“You’ll be fine right here.” He ordered, his expression fierce.
“Why?” She leaned closer until her face was right in his.
His breathing heightened. A flush spread across his cheekbones as her breast swung against his rock-hard pectorals. He groaned heartily and curled his fingers around her breast.
The heat of his hand against her chilled flesh was like a brand searing into her skin, claiming her.
As she wanted to be claimed.
Not protected.
“I think I should leave.” She wanted to moan as his fingers played with her nipple and a rush of desire flooded her sex.
“You’re staying.” He dipped his head to close his lips around her nipple. The heat from his mouth was even more shocking than his hand. He sucked her nipple, flattened that agile tongue of his and pressed hard against the roof of his mouth.
Arousal heated her core.
Lili fisted her fingers in his hair. “This won’t solve anything,” she panted.
Her nipple escaped from his lips with a pop. “It’ll solve this.” He nudged his thick rod of an erection against her bare wet curls. The thick knob of his head rubbed her clitoris until she almost came from that slight contact.
But he was holding back, treating her differently.
“Ah,” she sighed. “But you don’t really want me.”
Even as her body wept for his cock and her nerves tingled at every point they touched.
“Wrong.” He growled. “I need you.”
"It's the summoning." Her hopes were deflated. The book had warned of this. His feelings weren't real. Her feelings weren't real.
"Excuse me?" Gaap lifted off her body and stood. His cock was proudly erect in the sea breeze.
"You think your magick spell did this?"
"Yes." She lay sprawled on the blanket, her body open to the sun and the sea. The breeze swirled, licked at her legs, and curled around her stomach
Gaap threw back his head and laughed. "Zepar, show yourself."
The Demon of Seduction appeared between the mounded rocks. His broad form and golden hair gleaming from the valley of the stone breasts.
She should cover herself.
Zepar approached slowly. His gaze firmly fixed on Lili's exposed body and the wetness between her legs.
"She thinks the Demon Summoning has caused this." Gaap fisted his cock and pumped.
Zepar shifted his attention to Gaap's fingers. A smile played around his mouth even as shadowed darkened his eyes. He knelt down on the blanket, seduction in every line of his body. His movements languid and sensual. "You are the cause, sweet."
Lili wanted to scoot away from the Demon but there was nowhere to go. "But the summoning--"
"You're too close, old friend," Gaap warned.
Zepar ignored Gaap. "The summoning merely brings the summoner to the Demon's attention.
There is no compulsion."
"The book said--" Zepar's finger against her mouth stopped her.
"You believe everything you read?" He traced the outline of her lips with his finger, then bent to feather the lightest of kisses against her mouth. "Do not hurt him," he murmured against her mouth.
"Never again." She promised.
"Away from my consort," Gaap commanded.
Zepar smiled grimly and rose to his feet. "The guard keeps watch. You might consider a frolick in the sea to heal your wounds.
Gaap extended his hand toward Lili. "Shall we?"
As he pulled her to her feet, she
