Summon Lyght(24)

He clamped his hands softly just above her knees and very slowly opened her legs. Kassie's breath came in a combination of surprise and worry, but before self-consciousness could overcome her passion she forced herself to comply with his wishes. Far from unpleasant, it felt like opening her arms to embrace him. Nothing had ever felt more natural. No worry or fear, only an eager anticipation to have him kiss her there, now.

He made that snarling sound when she latched her fingers in his hair and pulled him to what she needed. He resisted, kissing up her inner thighs, first the left, then the right.

"Please, do it." The plea escaped her mouth in a trembling rush. Her hips rolled with the erotic wave pulsating in her bones. She pulled his head and he didn't deny her. His lips and tongue connected softly to her secrets and she cried out from the unexpected intensity.

Reality suspended for a second of startling clarity. Kassie was no shy virgin, having been with more men than she cared to admit even to herself, but nothing in her past had prepared her for Lyght. The joy his touch imparted was incomparable to the meager pleasure she'd managed to find before. Yes, he was an angel, but that wasn't the difference. With Lyght, her heart was involved.

"Oh God, Kassie…" The groaned words scorched her back into the haze of intensity he created in her and she pulled harder at his hair, wriggling against his mouth. "So good." His tongue swirled feverishly all over her, tiny rapid flicks of fire on her most sensitive flesh sent tremors through her muscles. He worked his fingers under her bottom to cradle her in his large hands so he could move her to the sensual rhythm he created with his mouth.

Kassie was there, that wonderful spot between time and space where all the tension Lyght had built within her body released in a cascade of spasms through her inner muscles. "Lyght! Yes, yes, oh my God yes!" Hot white sparks exploded in her body and mind, shooting her into some dimension she'd never known.

She cried out with abandon as her body trembled with the violent ecstasy, fingers clenched tight in Lyght's hair, holding on to the only reality she knew. Lyght. All around her, in her. She tasted and smelled his unique scent, felt him inside her soul, his heart beating furiously in her ears.

Lyght cried out as if in pain and he was suddenly gone, no longer touching her.

Forgetting her nakedness Kassie jerked upright, heart pounding in terror. "What! What's wrong?" She quickly spotted him, arms and legs spread wide against the wall where he seemed somehow suspended. She flew off the bed and ran toward him.

"NO!" His roar rattled the entire room.

Kassie froze in her tracks as fear surged through her. He lowered his gaze to her chest and she immediately covered her breasts even as he clenched his eyes tight, growling. "What's wrong?" she whispered, her heart hammering wildly. Had she done something to hurt him?

"I might hurt you." He gasped. "I want you in a way…that you're not ready for."

What? "But…I am ready." More than ready.

Like the words spoke directly to his body, he growled and pulled against invisible restraints. He shook his head. "I'm not ready. Even if you are. I need…" he gritted his teeth, keeping his eyes closed. "I need to tell you why I'm here."

She stared at him, suddenly worried. "What-what do you mean? Is it…is it something bad? Bad news? Is…Sam okay? My daughter?"

His wind rushed out, a sound of relief. "Your daughter is fine. Toren, my Brother, is taking care of her."

"Your brother? Mr. Toren? He's…he's an…"

He opened his eyes and nodded. "An archangel, yes. The Mercury Warrior. I am Lyght, the Diamond Warrior."

Kassie put a hand over her mouth, accidentally revealing one of her breasts and Lyght thrashed against the restraints again, making her cover it back and wonder. "My breasts…repulse you?"

He didn't open his eyes, but an incredulous laugh spilled forth. "Kassie, sweetheart…" He finally gazed at her, chest heaving. "You are…more beautiful than I can stand. That is why I am holding myself back."

"You?" She pointed at him, then jerked her forearm back over her breast. "You're doing that?" He whispered his yes harshly and Kassie was suddenly stunned. Confused. Was he blind?

"You're the blind one sweetheart, I promise you this. And I don't ever promise."

She swallowed down the bubbly feeling threatening to make her laugh. She couldn't stop the smile though.

"Now, if you'll just please get dressed, and leave the room, I will be able to unpin myself from this wall."

She angled her head, looking. "How are you doing that, anyway?"
