you.”
“Not Gretta,” he said softly. “You, Natalie. Always you.” He took her hand. “To mate with me, you must accept my mage’s mark while I’m in my other form.”
“Um … you mean the statue?”
“No, not the statue.” He hesitated. “The Tarlett males are … different. Not … human. Only when our mates accept our marks will our monsters disappear forever.”
She remembered touching his scales in their last dream together. “Monsters, huh?”
“Does that frighten you?”
Natalie shook her head. She’d fallen in love with Auron when she believed him to be just a book boyfriend. It seemed the fantasy romance hadn’t included everything about the mage—or his curse. Or even his world. But it didn’t matter.
“I’m yours, Auron.”
He smiled. His blue eyes filled with such love it made her heart ache.
Now that she’d pledged her heart to Auron, she took the time to look at his luscious, naked body.
Auron looked like a GQ model who’d just walked off the cover. His dark blue eyes were beautiful. His broad, muscled chest was tanned and hairless. His blond hair had been tied back, allowing her a mouthwatering view of his visage. She had thought him handsome, but…oh, hell. Her heart tripled its beat. Ardor needled her skin, crinkled her nipples, and swelled her feminine core with heat.
His hungry gaze danced along her nude body. He looked as if he wanted to feast on her and couldn’t quite decide where to begin nibbling. She responded to that intensity, yearning for his touch, for his words.
“You are so lovely.”
“So are you.” She blushed. “I mean … you’re handsome.”
He grinned as he sat at the end of the bed. “Are you sure this is what you want?”
“Yes,” said Natalie.
“I want to kiss you. Over and over again. You have such a delectable mouth. I want to conquer it. I want those juicy lips swollen and wet. And I want to suck on those beautiful nipples.” His gaze dipped to her chest. The buds puckered under his lustful inspection. “I want stroke every inch of your flesh until you’re on fire for me. I want to taste your sweetness and bring you to pleasure.” His eyes burned with passion. “I want to slip inside you, to take you, to love you. We will fly together, Natalie, in the most beautiful way.”
Natalie stared at him. His words stroked her just as well as his fingers, his tongue. She nearly lost her breath and her heart…oh, her heart tried to beat right out of her chest.
“So, I give you one last chance to change your mind,” said Auron. “Because if you say yes, Natalie. You are mine.” His gaze pinned hers. “If you start this journey with me, you must see it through until the end.”
“And if I don’t?”
“You will return to your world…and you will never see me again.”
Chapter 7
A uron watched the lovely Natalie impassively, though tension held him hostage. What if she doesn’t want me?
She was sweet. And she was strong. He was well aware that Natalie did not know her own beauty, but he was sure that she knew her own strength. He trailed one finger over her naked shoulder. She felt like silk. Peering into her world through the portal, being so close to her without being able to touch her, had been worse torment that Rin’s curse.
He brought her fingers to his lips. He kissed each knuckle, enjoying her little sighs of pleasure. She watched him, her eager gaze on his chest. He knew that she wanted to touch him, but he saw her trembling. His hand snaked around her waist and drew her into his embrace. She slid onto his lap, naked and soft and pliant.
He plucked a curl from her shoulder and used it to trace her collarbone. He saw her slight shudder and the unwittingly sexy way she wet her lips. Her lush mouth begged for a kiss, and though she probably didn’t know it, her eyes telegraphed potent desire.
His cock hardened as he imagined that little pink tongue flicking across his skin.
