From Slave To Queen (Athena and Michael) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76

Elara

With me in his arms, he climbs the steps and moves us through the maze of hallways that lead to his wing of the castle.

I keep my eyes closed the entire time, lost in the feeling of his breath against my skin, but I know there are eyes watching us.

Our troublesome passion will be on everyone’s lips in less than an hour, and I know I should stop this before we cross the final line.

The problem is that there’s something inside me that refuses to stop.

It wants to live, it wants to savor the experience.

Cassian grips me tighter so that my legs stay firmly wrapped around his hips.

1 feel the heat rising to my cheeks when I become fully aware that there are soft, sensitive parts of my body now pressing against.

He manages to open the door to his room blindly and, slamming my back against it, shuts it behind us.

We stare at each other, face to face now, and the predatory spirit I see in his eyes steals the breath from my lungs

He brings one hand to his mouth and, with his teeth, pulls off his gloves–one after the other.

I don’t know why, but it feels incredibly eradic

his stomach.

He sinks his fingers into my hair without fully closing the distance between our mouths, just watching me as if trying to decipher me,

I lick my lips, expectant, my heart galloping in my chest.

“Kiss me.”

He narrows his eyes, resting his forehead against mine.

I can feel his breath trembling, and I need no more proof that his mind is as stormy as mine.

He probably knows too that we’re about to cross a line that will change everything.

I’m betraying myself, and so is he

Now that I know his story, I can understand his hatred.

A hatred so raw and powerful it seems unable to fight against list

“Kissing you again would be my undoing”

His fingers dig deeper.

“You’re so cruel for asking this of me. do you want to drive me mad!”

“You shouldn’t have let me taste what it’s like to be kissed.”

His torso presses closer, trapping me completely between the door and his body.

Between my legs, I feel the hardness hidden beneath his pants, and rather than scare me, it makes the greedy.

“Do you think you’d be just as aroused if it were someone else kissing you?”

His breath is closer, brushing against my

I don’t respond–I’m 100 busy feeling everything his body is awakening in mine.

The almost animalistir growl that rises in his throat gives me chills, and the next thing I know, his lips are on mine–wild, demanding, and desperate.

His hands travel down from my hair to my neck–one wraps around it while the other keeps moving until it reaches my hips, his fingers gripping tightly enough to leave marks the next day.

The way the door rattles each time his body slams into mine, trying to eliminate even the tiniest distance between us, sends waves of sensations through my body that only awaken a hunger I’ve never known.

My teeth nibble his lower lip hard enough to taste metal on my tongue

Cassian takes it as a provocation and responds by pulling me away from the door and carrying me across the room to throw me onto his bed.

He stands at the edge of it, watching me as my eyes focus only on him.

It doesn’t matter how curious I am to see what his room looks like, if it matches what I imagined.

All that matters is him–and that weely gaze that has turned so dark I’d swear his eyes were never blue, but black.

“Take off your dothes,” he commands.

His demand catches me off guard, and my shy, inexperienced self peeks into the room for the first time in a while.

I force myself to be clever with my tongue–and not in the way the vampire would like right now.

Why don’t you do it! Afraid you won’t be able to untie the knots in the dress?”

One corner of his south lifts in a smirk halfway between amusement and arrogance

He grabs my ankle, yanks off my shoe, and pulls me toward him until my legs are on either side of his body.

“My little wild thing”

He leans over

over me slowly and hooks a finger into the front of my dress.

“It’s not that I can’t untie the knots.

It’s that I don’t have the patience. Not when it comes to you

The fabric of my dress tears as Cassian rips it open.

The rip an

My chest rises with a breath of surprise, and for a few seconds, a deep silence settles between us

Cassian rabes an eyebrow, daring me to say something clever again

Instead, I dig my heels into the backs of his thighs and force him to lower himself completely onto me,

I grab the collar of his shim until his lips crash against mine once more.

He licks my lips, asking for permission, and when I give in, our tongues battle, abandoning tentative caresses.

The hardness pressing against my thigh makes the wetness between my legs intensify.

“Hell must be rubbing its hands, waiting for the day I fall–if I even have a soul,” he murmurs as his teeth scrape along my chin and his lips caress

“How bad can it be to taste heaven before I fall, Elara?”

The words die in my mouth when his hand pushes aside the torn fabric of my dress and exposes iny breasts to his touch.

He rubs my nipple with his thumb until it hardens.

I close my eyes, arching my back to stay close to him, biting my lip at the unfamiliar pleasure coursing through me

Wade his thumb draws slow circles over my abused nipple, his mouth covers the other, giving it equal attention with his tongue.

I feel like I’m dying

There are tickles in my stomach that feel like standing at the edge of a high place and looking downl

It’s fucking vertigo.

Despite the threatening sharpness of his teeth against my skin, he doesn’t break it.
