ever seen her naked before, and it took all her courage not to run away.
    He stared at her bare breasts as he ran his hands over the taut peaks. He traced slow, simmering circles around her, sending chills all over her body. “You are so beautiful,” he breathed. Then he dipped his head down and took her breast into his mouth.
    Livia sucked her breath in sharply as his tongue swirled around her flesh, teasing, licking. Never had she felt anything like it. With every lick, her stomach fluttered. She leaned forward, cradling his head in her hands. Her body was on fire. He trailed his hands over her bare back, down her hips, and when he cupped her between her legs, she groaned.
    He looked up at her, his eyes dazed and hungry as he breathed raggedly. Then he rolled her over, onto the mattress, and shut the curtains, He turned the lights off with a control he had on the nightstand.
    She heard him remove the rest of his clothes in the darkness, but she couldn’t see anything at all.
    Adron ached to see her naked, but he didn’t want any light whatsoever for her to see his damaged body. She might change her mind if she realized what an ugly monster he was. His cock hot and heavy for her, he unfastened the stiff, prickly brace on his left leg and let it fall to the floor. Next, he removed the one on his hand and arm.
    Then, slowly, carefully, he pulled her clothes from her.
    He ran his hand over her smooth, hot skin, delighting in her murmurs of pleasure. He’d never taken a virgin before, and the knowledge that he was her first lover added even more excitement to the moment.
    No man had ever touched her.
    No one but him.
    Even with his wings broken and clipped, he soared at that knowledge.
    Livia moaned as he covered her with his long, hot body. She’d never felt anything like all that lean, hard strength spread out evenly against her bare flesh. He kissed her fiercely as he separated her thighs with his knee. Then he pressed his thigh against the center of her body, the hairs on his leg teasing her intimately.
    She ran her hand over his back, feeling the rugged terrain of scars, muscle, and skin.
    â€œMy name is Adron,” he whispered a second before he traced the outline of her ear with his tongue.
    â€œAdron,” she repeated, testing the syllables. It was a strong name that suited him.
    He stroked her with his thigh, his tongue, and his hands. Arching her back, Livia welcomed his touch. It was so wickedly erotic to feel him all over and yet see nothing of him. It was like a vivid and yet surreal dream.
    Reaching up, she freed his hair and let it fall around his face, then buried her hands in the silken strands of it. He leaned down and placed his lips in the crook of her arm where he suckled her flesh.
    Adron swallowed as he pulled back, wanting desperately to see her face. Instead, he lifted his hand to trace the contours of it. He could feel the tiny cleft in her chin, imagine the small oval face overwhelmed by large brown eyes that tugged at a heart he’d thought was dead.
    She was breathtaking. And for tonight, she was his.
    All his.
    Closing his eyes, he moved himself down her body, then cursed as a wave of fierce pain lanced up his leg and across his back.
    She tensed beneath him. “What’s wrong?”
    Adron couldn’t answer. The pain in his leg was so intense that it instantly quelled his desire. He rolled over onto his back and struggled to breathe.
    â€œAdron?”
    The concern in her voice ate at him. Gah, he was a pathetic waste of humanity.
    â€œMy leg,” he said between clenched teeth. “I need the painkillers on my nightstand.”
    â€œWhich leg?”
    â€œDamn it, get my medicine.”
    â€œWhich leg!” she insisted.
    He groaned out loud, hating himself for the fact he couldn’t keep it in. But the pain was just too much. “The left one.”
    She took his knee into her hands.
    He cursed as even more pain tore through him.
