the dark pink pillow, his eyes warm and honest, backing up his words. He wasn’t lying, and she couldn’t deny her attraction to him and the way he made her feel.
“Is it the same for you?” He looked hopeful.
Serenity didn’t hesitate. She nodded. “It is... I just... with the wings gone it’s so much easier to fool myself, but I know that you’re an angel... it—”
Apollyon pressed a lone finger to her lips. “Forget everything everyone ever told you about us. We can be with mortals and we are free to do as we please. Besides, you are my master right now. Whatever you want of me, you will have, but resisting you is becoming impossible.”
She felt the same way. She had tried her hardest but she didn’t want to resist him now. She wanted to give herself to him, and to fulfil the deep craving to have his body on hers, to drown in his kisses and lose herself in the moment.
Apollyon had made her happy tonight. She had felt as though Edward had never happened and that being in Apollyon’s arms was enough to bring a smile back to her face. He had made her laugh for the first time in weeks.
But none of that erased the fear in her heart that he was going to disappear when he’d had his vengeance and she would be alone again.
She shut out the voices that warned her against going through with it and ran her hands over Apollyon’s strong shoulders, caressing his bronze skin and feeling his warmth.
“Where did the wings go?”
“Away.” He looked at her left hand where it stroked his right shoulder and then back into her eyes. “I can keep them like this if I concentrate, but it only works for a short time. It was uncomfortable to sleep on them. Would you like me to bring them back?”
“Not right now.” Serenity ran her hands up his neck to his jaw and stroked the square line of it, her gaze drifting over his face and putting it to memory. She would never forget it, and she wasn’t likely to find a man as handsome as him again. “Right now, I like you just the way you are.”
“Naked?” he said and she couldn’t help smiling at his innocent expression.
“Naked,” she whispered, not needing to look to know that what little he had been wearing was now gone. She slid her hand around the nape of his neck and drew him down to her. With a wicked smile, she clicked her fingers, making her satin slip disappear and leaving her naked beneath the dark covers.
Apollyon groaned, his gaze running over her chest with blatant desire even though her nipples were still hidden. What would he look like when she was naked before him? She couldn’t wait to find out.
She pressed her lips to his and he immediately tilted his head and fused their mouths in another hungry kiss. She let go this time, not thinking about tomorrow, only thinking about now and how good it felt to be in Apollyon’s arms.
She wouldn’t give this up for anything.
If he was brave enough to take what he wanted, then she would too. She would live with the consequences and pay whatever price she had to in order to have this moment with him.
His tongue brushed hers and she moaned and clutched his shoulder, drawing him closer until his chest was covering hers again, his hands caressing her upper arms. His mouth left hers and he pressed long kisses down her jaw and her neck. She reached up above her head and closed her eyes when he kissed over her collarbone and then down her chest. Her breath left her in a sigh and she smiled, twisting her hair around her fingers.
“You taste good,” Apollyon murmured against her skin and she looked at him, meeting his gaze. He drew the dark covers down, revealing the swell of her breasts, and his eyes left hers. He moaned, the sound of it making her shiver with anticipation, and lowered his head to her right breast. He kissed and licked her nipple, sending sparks shooting outwards from its centre and rekindling the embers of the fire he’d lit in her when they had danced. She couldn’t take her eyes
