Crimson ringed them but it was the dazzling flecks of gold and cobalt in them that caught her breath. The same colours shimmered over his fae markings, together with dark pink. She had heard what Chica had told him when she had seen those colours on his markings. A mate. Did these colours mean he cared about her and considered her to be his mate already?
Elissa ran her fingers over the line of fae symbols inked along his left shoulder and followed it down over his biceps.
“Pretty colours,” she said, afraid of asking him outright whether he returned the feelings she had confessed she felt for him just minutes ago.
“Only one emotion has that shade in it, and it will always be there when I’m with you... even when my incubus nature is in control.” He captured her hand and brought it to his lips, pressing a kiss to it.
Elissa raised her eyes to meet his. Her voice shook. “Because you’re in love with me?”
“Because I’m in love with you.” He nodded and relief swept through her, chasing away the last of her fear. He gathered her into his arms again and kissed her, soft and reverent, filled with the emotion that coloured his markings. Love.
His hands caught the hem of her black halter-top and he pulled it up, severing their kiss for only as long as it took to get the garment off over her head. He dropped it to the floor and pulled her back into his embrace, his mouth capturing hers again, his kiss warming her from head to toe. She skimmed her hands over his upper arms, delighting in the feel of his tensed muscles beneath her fingers, and then ran them down the ridges of his stomach.
Mother earth, she would never get tired of exploring his delicious body.
She undid his belt and then set to work on his buttons, popping each one slowly so her fingers grazed the hard bulge they caged. Payne groaned into her mouth and eased back enough that she could push his dark blue jeans down to his thighs. She broke away and pushed them down to his feet, ending up crouched before him.
Elissa looked up the length of Payne’s taut, godly body and moaned, a flood of desire burning up her blood. She bit her lip and then leaned in and licked his cock, running her tongue from root to tip and swirling it around the sensitive crown. He sank his fangs into his lower lip and groaned, the sound strangled and desperate.
His markings remained flushed in blue, gold and pink, swirling and shifting, mesmerising to watch. Did this mean his incubus side was in control now, already at the fore? He wasn’t pushing her away though, and she took it as a green light to continue. She wrapped her lips around his cock and took him into her mouth, sucking him as she fondled his heavy sac.
He groaned again and thrust his hips forwards, gently rocking his hard shaft into her mouth, his hands coming down to clutch her shoulder and the back of her head.
“Elissa.” He sounded deliciously breathless and lost.
Elissa ran her tongue up the underside of his erection and then rose before him. Blue and gold eyes locked on her, his pupils dark chasms of desire and passion. Mother earth, she wanted him when he looked at her like that, as though he wanted to devour her.
She hastily stripped off her jeans and shoes as he shed the remains of his clothes. Payne advanced on her, forcing her backwards, towards the shower cubicle. It was as small as the one back at Verity’s house and it would be cramped, but she was damn well getting him in that shower and wet all over.
Elissa stepped into the cubicle and Payne followed her, his gaze still rooted on her, burning her with its intensity. She fumbled with the controls, nerves and desire combining to make her fingers tremble. Payne calmly reached past her and switched the shower on, his body crowding hers, pressing against it in the most erotic way.
The moment the water was running, he backed her under it and it was a struggle to do what she had come here for. Washing him. She turned around, intent on finding the soap, and he slid his arm around her waist, pulling the full length of her back against his hard front. She moaned and he groaned along with her, the sound bordering on a growl that thrilled her. He grasped her left breast in one hand, palming it and teasing her already hard nipple, and lowered his other to her groin. She gasped as he delved between her plush petals to finger her clitoris, sending hot sparks skittering over her skin. She leaned back against him and rocked her body in time with his fingers, seeking more from him.
Payne ground his cock against her backside, wedging the hot hard length between her buttocks. He dropped kisses on her wet shoulder as he brought her to a shattering climax with his fingers. She breathed hard as he teased her down, gently circling her clitoris now and rolling her nipple between his fingers. He pressed his teeth against her shoulder and she knew what he wanted from her, what he needed. He had lost blood during the fight.
