terrified that I would consume their soul.”
Elhara looked at him, “You consume misery. Not souls. The difference should be stressed and now, if you don’t mind…my husband and I have abstained for this moment and I believe that it time to cease our self-control.”
Therogan laughed and waved for them to continue on their original path.
With heads high and laughter quickly returning to their eyes, Elhara smiled as they stopped in the centre of the dance floor, laughed their goodbyes and exhortations to enjoy the party and disappeared.
“Sneaking away from your own reception is a time-honoured tradition.” Elhara was busy working at the clasps that held Solar’s embroidered jacket closed. It was so-well fitted that it took some doing to get the clothing loose, but she managed it at long last.
A sneaking suspicion ran through her and she looked up into his midnight eyes. “This is real, right? I am not going to wake up in jeans with a wet crotch and nothing else?”
He laughed and cupped her jaw. “This is real. We will continue the blood ritual here and then we will lock down to spend time learning our physical reactions at our leisure.”
She backed away, “Continue the blood ritual?”
He chuckled. “Virginity is a laudable characteristic, but it does have a side effect during sex. Demons have used the power gained from virgins for centuries, but all I want from you is you.”
She laughed and trailed her fingers down his chest to the line of his trousers. “If the demons gained power, what did the virgins gain?”
He lifted her chin and lowered his lips to hers. “Let’s find out.”
Chapter Eleven
The bedroom was lined with candles, the sweet scent of beeswax and roses filled the air.
“Why can’t I figure out this clasp?” She worked and frowned at his trousers until he pulled her hands away.
“Because it isn’t for you to undress me. I am supposed to be undressing you.” He kissed each of her fingers before sliding his hand down her back. While looking into her eyes, he unravelled the ties that held her dress in place.
The silk sighed as it floated to the ground, leaving her in stockings, heels and a garter belt.
The low growl from Solar sent a ripple of heat through her belly and she bit her lip as she stared into his eyes, waiting for approval. He lifted her so that their faces were even and pressed his lips to hers with a ferocity that took her breath away.
Heat was lapping at her, sensitivity rippling along her limbs as his magic moved into and through her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and rocked against him, whimpering as he walked with her to the bed.
He tilted her and came down on top of her, rubbing his skin against hers in a slow caress. His red skin against her creamy white in a shocking contrast. Magic was spilling from him and running along her flesh, a secondary caress to the touch of his hands on her body.
The buildup of magic continued until it reached critical mass while he was nibbling his way across her breasts. Pleasure burst in a wave and she gasped, arching toward his mouth with her hands woven into his hair. His groan echoed hers and he disappeared for a moment, only to return with an intense look in his eyes.
She shifted her legs against his, the silk of her stockings rubbing against his thighs as he settled against her. The heat of his cock pressing at her opened her sex and with short, rocking thrusts of his hips, he worked into her, gaining entry in millimetres.
Elhara was gasping, staring into his eyes when a secondary pressure got her attention. Both of his hands were on hers, so what was pressing slowly into her ass?
She squirmed and he sent a wave of pleasure through her. This time, it was from him to her and she relaxed and pushed against the dual invasion.
As he reached her hymen, he paused. “Elhara, I do hereby take you as mine and I will treasure you for all of our lives together. Do you take me freely and without
