with magic and everything
to do with pure, animal lust.
    Something rippled through her, a wild and fierce longing that
had her fingernails digging into her palms. She flushed again with heat, and her
muscles tensed. Kaden looked into her eyes, and whatever he saw gave him
pause.
    “Not yet,” he said, a rough command that made no sense to her.
“Slow down.”
    At last, Tess was sure of something. She was absolutely certain
that she was done with Kaden’s commands. It was a relief to give in, let
go...and throw one of Kaden’s answers right back at him.
    “No,” Tess said, grabbed the front of his shirt, and dragged
his mouth to hers.
     

SIX
    The instant his mouth touched hers, Tess was lost.
    All her confused thoughts, all her trepidation vanished in the
face of a need that burned through her like wildfire. This was what she needed.
Only this, here and now.
    Kaden’s hands caught her against him. It only took seconds for
him to gain control, sweeping his tongue inside her mouth to taste her. She
could feel the dagger points of his incisors scrape against her lips, and the
mix of pain and pleasure had her hot and throbbing. When she moaned, it sounded
rough and unfamiliar, more animal than woman.
    Kaden’s answering growl gave her the urge to drag him to the
floor, biting and scratching as he took her. It wasn’t anything she’d ever
imagined before—and it was intensely erotic nonetheless.
    Tess felt his fingers hook into the thin fabric of her shirt,
dragging it up to expose heated skin. He pulled it over his head, exposing a
chest that rippled with muscle beneath the tribal markings that covered it. Then
he was kissing her again, his hands roaming over her back, her ass—he seemed to
be trying to touch her everywhere at once. Tess fumbled with her own shirt,
wanting nothing more than to feel his skin against hers.
    A growl, a tearing noise, and she was not only without a shirt,
but her bra had vanished. There was a quick sensation of the cool air on her
skin before Kaden had hauled her back up against him.
    Tess gasped at the feel of her breasts pressed against his
chest. He was so... hot. Everywhere. And her own body
temperature seemed to be rising to keep pace. Kaden began to move, and Tess
stumbled backward, stopping abruptly when her back hit the wall.
    “This...seems familiar,” she breathed. Only this time, she knew
she wouldn’t stop him.
    He pulled back just enough for her to see the wild look in his
eyes.
    “This time I’m going to taste you. All of you,” he said. He
pressed her back against the wall and began to trail hot, hard kisses down her
jaw, then her neck, then—
    “Kaden,” Tess moaned when he began to suckle at one swollen
breast. He scraped his teeth over one taut nipple before turning his attention
to the other, sucking and teasing it with the decadent little flicks of his
tongue. If he kept heading in this direction, Tess knew, that was only a hint of
things to come.
    The thought nearly took her legs out from under her.
    She felt her jeans sliding down her legs as his mouth went
lower, teeth and tongue driving her slowly into madness. Tess threaded her
fingers through his purple-black hair, thinking that the sight of his dark head
against her belly as he knelt at her feet was one of the most erotic things
she’d ever seen.
    He glanced up at her, eyes dancing with gold fire.
    “I want you hot for me,” he growled.
    “I am,” Tess breathed.
    “Not hot enough. Not yet,” Kaden said. “Open for me.” He
pressed her knees apart, and Tess obliged, though she hardly knew what she was
doing. She couldn’t seem to hear anything but her own ragged breathing, the
uneven beat of her heart.
    Then Kaden dipped his head and pressed his tongue up hard
against her swollen sex.
    Tess cried out, her hands fisting in his hair as she began to
slide down the wall. Then Kaden’s hands were at her hips, holding her up,
keeping her still while he began to taste her. He made a sound that was
