“Okay,” she breathed, feeling like her skin was too tight, like her entire body was swelling from the heat generated by her core.
Tarq decided the first one would be fast. She shouldn’t have to wait another minute to experience what he’d been experiencing for millennia.
He twirled her around and walked them to the window. The evening had grown chilly, so the glass would be cool to the touch.
From behind, he slid his arms under hers and grabbed the top of her dress, yanking it down. Unable to resist, he looked over her shoulder and down at her chest to her erect, perfectly pink nipples. He was going to come all over them. Later.
He inched her forward until her body was flush with the glass. He slid his hands down her hips to the bottom of her dress and inched it up.
The window cooled Lily’s heated skin, causing goosebumps to appear across her flesh. The heat from his body behind was scorching compared to the cold at her front.
She was burning for him to do something. Once he’d gotten her dress over her hips, he slid one hand down and around to cup her mound.
She moaned as he pressed the palm of his hand into the apex of her thighs. She ground her ass into his erection.
“Ah, does my Petal like that?”
“Yes. Yes, please.”
“I like it when you beg so sweetly.”
He slipped his hand inside her lace panties.
“Oh, Lily. You’re soaked. Is this all for me?”
She nodded.
“I want to hear it. Tell me it’s all for me.”
“It’s all—all for you,” she panted.
Gently, so gently, Tarq swirled her juices, spreading them around her lips and her clit, making sure his fingers could glide easily. Then he increased the pressure and rubbed a little faster, testing how she would react.
Lily panted, frantically moving her pelvis against his hand. Her insides tightened. An unfamiliar feeling started at the base of her spine. She could feel her lady bits contract, and she knew she was close.
“Come for me, Petal,” Tarq commanded, unleashing his power. He knew it wouldn’t compel her, but it would still skate over her skin, heightening the experience. He wanted it to be spectacular.
He bit the tender flesh where her shoulder met her neck and she came immediately, shouting his name as wave after wave of pure bliss coursed through her system. Tarq continued stroking her while still rocking his hips against her perfect ass.
Once she came back down to earth, her head lolled back on his chest. She felt loose and limber, more relaxed than she had ever been.
Tarq brought his hand up and held it in front of her face.
“Look what you did for me, Petal.”
Lily flushed, seeing the evidence of her arousal on his fingers. There was so much. Was that normal?
Tarq brought his fingers to his mouth and licked them, humming and closing his eyes at the flavor of her womanly essence. Nothing had ever tasted so sweet. He suspected nothing ever would.
He turned Lily in his arms and picked her up.
“Wrap your legs around me.”
Lily complied as she also wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He held her by her ass and she tightened her grip, wanting more already.
They were nose-to-nose, so close she could smell the hint of spirits on his breath. She briefly wondered who he had been drinking with. A woman? A fling for the night? She detested the surge of jealousy she felt thinking about it.
She was in a club designed for fornication. Why else would he be here? Hell, wasn’t it why she’d agreed to come here with Angelique? To possibly experience something she’d always wanted but had never been able to bring herself to try?
Tarq was more than qualified to give her what she wanted. She had only thought to test a little sample, to maybe touch and be touched.
She was too smart to pass up a chance at having her first time be something better than the let-down stories she’d been hearing since she was fifteen. Most of her friends had confessed to it being mediocre, at best. Some had said it hurt.
Lily was confident Tarq wouldn’t hurt her. Well, maybe a little, but he knew how to make it good. Or, he should, at least. He owned a suite in a sex club. He’d probably been with hundreds.
Resolved, Lily decided she would not miss out. Not anymore.
“Would you like more, Petal?”
“Yes, please.”
He carried her to the bed and threw her down. She giggled.
Fucking hell. Even her giggle was as sexy as it was adorable. He didn’t know women who giggled. Well, Daisy did, but it was irritating as shit. When Lily, did it, it lit him up inside, made him feel like King of the World.
For a moment, Tarq was afraid he’d never get Lily out of his system. They could never be more than short-term lovers. He was immortal. She was human. It was a recipe for disaster.
He’d better make the best of his time with her.
“Take off the dress and panties.”
Lily licked her lips, kicking off her heels first. With shaky hands, she slid the dress down over her hips, down her legs, and let it fall onto the floor.
“Wait,” Tarq told her.
Lily paused and watched as the sexiest man she’d ever met grabbed her favorite black thong and ripped it off her body. Holy hell.
Tarq sniffed her underwear, getting a lungful of that sugary ambrosia leaking from between her thighs. He was going swallow every last drop he could get. He absently tucked her thong into his back pocket. It was now his.
He unbuttoned his shirt, examining her form, lying naked on his bed. She was so blindingly beautiful his heart stopped. A better man would know he wasn’t good enough for her. Tarq was selfish. He’d have her and savor the memory for eternity.
He shed the shirt and undid his pants, while kicking off his slides. When his pants fell to the floor, he was naked. His engorged staff rested against his stomach.
Tarq crawled up onto the bed, in between Lily’s tanned legs. She was trembling. In anticipation? No. She was nervous.
He placed his hands on either side of her head, holding her attention.
“You have nothing to fear with me, Lily. Tell me you know that.”
“I—”
A loud knock came from the door, interrupting her chance to tell him she’d never had sex before. She worried he might refuse to finish. Some guys were weird about the whole virginity thing.
“What?!” he yelled, his eyes never leaving Lily’s.
“Look, I’m sorry to interrupt but I can’t find Lily and Keith said she left with you.”
Fucking Angelique. He knew she’d cockblock.
“Go away, Angelique.”
Fuck you, Tarq. Do you know where she is? Is she in there? I swear to the gods I will rip off your testicles and shove them down your throat if you pull your kinky shit with her.
Sometimes the telepathic link was annoying. Like his sister.
Fuck you for thinking I’d harm a hair on her delectable head. Did his sister think him a monster?
“I’m not going away until I know Lily’s okay.”
Tarq gestured to Lily. “Go ahead, Petal. Tell her you’re okay.”
“I’m okay. Really,” she shouted. Things were getting terribly awkward. Ange had to know what was going on in Tarq’s suite.
Angelique didn’t want to leave her friend, but she knew Lily wouldn’t be in Tarq’s room if she didn’t want to be. Besides, if he tried anything Lily didn’t want, she would break his nose. She sniggered at the thought.
“Okay. I’ll, see you later.”
“O-okay,” Lily moaned. Tarq had lowered his mouth to her nipple and was sucking on it.
“Anytime, girl.”
Tarq, I really don’t want to do this to Lily, but you should know—
Get the fuck out of here! he roared.
Angelique bristled. You are such an asshole. Don’t be surprised later. I tried to warn you.
She stormed off to find some stud to work off her anger.
