a Touch of Intrigue Read Online Free Page B

ran my tongue along the cord of his neck. “It fits. Dark elf. You’re shadow magic.”
    Tynan lifted me, and my legs automatically wrapped around his waist. Like they remembered where they were supposed to be. His palm landed on my backside with a possessive smack. “What I am is yours.”
    Heat flared in my core, spread to my breasts, and to the sensitive folds of my sex. I waited so long to share these sensations, this intimacy with Tynan, that I had to tighten my abdomen to keep from slipping into a mini orgasm. I wasn’t going there, not without him. But getting him caught up to my needs was a top priority, and what was taking him so long to find a bedroom? “The floor will do. We can find a bed later.” My words wobbled.
    “First time. I want you on a bed. All that red hair spilled over a pillow. Over me.”
    I arched my back, pushing my core closer to him. Every feminine part of me ached with a wild desire I’d never experienced before. “Need you naked. Need to feel you against me.”
    “Not yet. I intend to savor you. Inch by inch.” Tynan’s halting whisper skimmed my ear, and I melted.
    I had to touch him, to find skin. I slipped my arms around his chest, then under the waistband of his cargoes. And found bare skin. No underwear. Just Tynan’s glorious, hot, smooth, kissable skin. “Want to kiss.” I pressed my fingers into a tight curve of his muscle. “Right here.”
    He stumbled, regained his footing, and then slipped roving fingers between us and freed the button on my waistband. “There are consequences when you play with a dark elf, Belisama.”
    A haze of desperate need clouded my vision. The sound of my zipper being inched open squeezed the breath from my lungs, leaving me panting. I squirmed under Tynan’s touch. Gave up when the heat from his palm penetrated my bare skin. “Glad. Wore. Thong.”
    His lips curved into a smile against my neck. “Ummm. Good choice.”
    Shifting his attention, he nibbled on my neck. Licked. “Your heart is pounding.” He licked again. “Right here under my touch.”
    Spirals of energy twisted through me. I worked my hand around his hip, fingers testing his skin, finding the lines and planes of his muscles. And finally I let go of my ESP barriers and allowed myself to dip into the stunning images flooding my mind. “You’re beautiful.”
    Pierce’s steps faltered. “What do you see?”
    “What I’m touching. Soft skin. A hard scar. The beauty and balance of darkness and magic. Honeybuns.”
    His grunt shook. A first. One hand edged under my shirt, lifting it and a gentle breeze wafted over my lower back. Tynan slid me along the front of his body, slowly, one hand massaging my backside, the other exploring my waist, my back… “No. Bra.”
    Feminine power exploded, tightening my nipples, teasing my sex. “Commando. Touché.”
    His hold on me loosened, and when my boots touched the floor, I realized the bamboo had switched to a tatami mat. The snick of my zipper being released brought my attention back to Tynan’s hands—skilled, warm, trembling hands. My pants pooled around my ankles, and he skimmed my t-shirt over my head, lighting tiny fires everywhere he touched.
    “Perfect.” Tynan ran his fingers down my abdomen, then circled the diamond nestled in my navel.
    Fire shot through me.
    “You’ve had a part of me with you since the day I gave it to you.” He winked at me. “Suits you.”
    Hot need flared in my belly. “That’s exactly what you did then.”
    “Only thing that’s changed, I didn’t know I loved you then.” He reached for me, stopped, dropped his cargoes to the floor, stripped out of his shirt, and faced me in naked male glory.
    My hands ached to touch him, but the love in his gaze stole my ability to move. “I…”
    Feral light glittered in his eyes. He stepped toward me. I stumbled back, a tiny burst of panic detonating in my gut. Sex like I’d never had the nerve to fantasize about was about to happen. I had to
