him, dazed.
He bent and offered her a hand that she took without hesitation. He pulled her gently to her feet and gripped her upper arms. When he captured her gaze with his, she felt like she was falling into him. Then her eyes closed, her lips parted, and she realized she was falling. Toward him. Wanting him to kiss her. Needing him to touch her.
But he didn’t, his grip tightening to keep her at arm’s length. Disappointment swamped Ellie and she shrugged away from him before she could embarrass herself further.
“I apologize, Ellsinore. I shouldn’t have followed you.” He backed up a step and stood there like he was waiting for Ellie to say or do something.
“Okay. I’m in over my head, here. I thought you wanted more.” She sat on the bed cross-legged. He followed to sit on the edge. Ellie couldn’t help but stare at his cock, now resting against one thigh. She might not get the chance to explore him physically, but as long as he sat there naked, she’d eye him all she wanted.
He looked away from her and mumbled something she didn’t hear. He scrubbed a hand through his hair before speaking again. “You were right, Ellsinore. I do want more.” As if to emphasize his point, he looked directly at her, heat burning in his eyes. He looked ready to devour her, and Ellie knew she’d let him. Beg him to, in fact. But he spoke again before she could. “I was chosen to enter this realm to bring you back to the king for two reasons. I’m one of the king’s Elemental Guard. Each of us has special abilities, and mine is the strength of Mother Earth. I was chosen because it was determined I could protect you from anything in this realm.”
He was looking at her again like she was something good to eat and he was starving. Something inside her roared to life, and she decided that if he didn’t make a move soon, she would.
“And the second reason?”
“As an Earth Elemental, I can mate only once. Since I’m over two hundred years old, it was believed your virtue would be safe with me.”
“And what if I don’t want my virtue to be ‘safe’?” Ellie could scarcely believe she’d actually said that. She’d never had these feelings before, and now that the possibilities of pleasure were there, she refused to go back to sexual ignorance. She didn’t want just any man—she wanted this man. It didn’t matter who or what he was—all she knew was something primitive inside her called to him and she was powerless to resist it. She didn’t want to resist it.
He seemed uncertain now, as if duty and need warred within him. “It isn’t up to you. I cannot betray my king’s trust, no matter what I want.”
“And if I were to simply throw myself at you?”
“You already know I’m stronger than you. I’m not going to simply fuck you and be done with it.”
“Yes, but given your current state”—she paused and eyed his rapidly engorging cock—“I’m betting you wouldn’t try too hard.”
“You don’t fully understand what I’ve said, Ellsinore. I don’t have casual sex.”
She grinned at him. “So, you walk around all day with a boner the size of Texas?”
He lifted his chin and scowled at her, rising from his seated position and striding the three steps across the room. “I’m generally not in this particular situation. I’ve never had such an obvious…boner…in my life.” He paced a moment or two. “This is not good.”
“Looks good to me.” Ellie was certain now. No matter what it cost her, she would have him.
She lunged for him. Expecting him to be unmovable as before, he instead fell back on the bed with her and allowed her to mold her body to his. She had no doubt he could stop her if he wanted, but he didn’t. Instead, he groaned and flipped them over.
Devlin kissed her then, a claiming kiss, if ever there was one. The feelings building within her were explosive. The self-gratification she indulged in from time to time was nothing like this. He consumed her with
