Chapter 116: A Night of Pleasure (Part One)

Annalise immediately wrapped her hands around Damien’s neck and her legs around his waist when the man suddenly hauled her up in the air with his strong muscular arms that were now safely wrapped around her small frame that was clinging onto him for life.

His mouth found hers and pulled her into a deep passionate kiss that caused sparks of pleasure to run through her entire body and made her grab onto him even more tightly.

She felt that they were moving as he must have headed somewhere with her in his arms but the was too consumed by the kiss to pay much attention to anything else.

The man had ignited a fire inside her, one that was beyond intense and was melting her from the insides. It wanted something way more than just the kissing they were doing... it wanted to mate.

The bond probably translated her desire for him because, at that very moment, Damien let out a deep growl before he placed her down on the bed and ended the kiss to look into her half-hooded eyes while his own were glowing light crimson.

His thighs slipped between hers, and he pressed down the very moment she arched her body up and everything went insane around and inside Annalise.

Sparks went sizzling all over her body as his leg rubbed against her throbbing bud, the shock of pleasure taking her by pure surprise. It felt so good that without even realizing or meaning it, she had started softly rubbing herself against his leg.

Damien suddenly pulled his leg away, making her groan out in frustration which made him chuckle as he placed a soft kiss on her forehead and nose before pulling back to once again look into her eyes.

"My Lord..." His title was a mere whisper that left her lips in a plea, clearly stating the desire that was burning her from the insides.

His crimson eyes darkened as he stared back at her with an equal amount of desire burning in his eyes. His hands finally found their way around her body as he slid them down her sides before they came to rest on her hips as he finally kissed her again.

Annalise didn’t wait for him to take the initiative this time as her hands hurriedly made their way to his shirt and she started untying all the knots that were keeping his shirt in place. Just when she succeeded in untying the last knot and was ready to pull the shirt down his shoulders, the man suddenly stopped her.

Damien pulled away from the kiss only to take hold of both her hands and stopped her from taking off his shirt. "I warned you, Princess, last night was the only time I went slow and soft with you... but that’s not my style. Are you sure you want to continue?"

Annalise knew exactly what he was talking about but at the very same time, she had no clue about what he meant. He was dark, possessive, and commanding, and somehow, she couldn’t grasp what sort of those traits could he bring in bed. But one thing that she knew for sure, was that she didn’t want him to stop even if meant that he was not going to be soft with her.

Instead of replying with words, she moved her hands to rest on his bare solid chest which was pulling her entire attention toward his chiseled upper body.

Her hands ran down his shoulders to his collarbone and down his chest to his abdomen before they were finally stopped by the man as he once again took hold of both her hands.

"Only if you think you won’t hate me and regret your decision by the time we finish..." His words were like a dark promise that should have scared her, and they did to some level but that fear was nothing compared to the excitement and desire that was thriving through her veins and the rest of the body.

When she didn’t pull her hands out of his hold and neither stopped him, Damien finally started moving and the first thing that he did was to lock her hands above her head with a single streak of his shadow powers that not only locked her hands together but also locked them to the headboard of the bed.

Annalise felt her heart beating rapidly inside her chest in both excitement and fear as the man finally took off his shirt, revealing his perfect muscular body to her hungry eyes. Unfortunately, her hands were tied, and couldn’t touch him even though that was what she desired the most at that moment.

Damien slowly lowered his dangerous body on hers before he started trailing soft feathery kisses all over her face and then down her jawline. Just the feel of his lips against the sensitive skin of her throat was enough to make her moan and tremble beneath him.

His tongue slipped out to trace the pulsing vein on her throat and Annalise was immediately reminded of his bite that marked her as his lifelong soulmate.

Another moan slipped through her slightly parted lips as she arched her head to the back unconsciously to give him more access to her throat but instead of taking advantage of that, Damien completely pulled away which caused her to groan in frustration all over again.

"My Lord, please..." She didn’t care if she was acting against the rules and regulations of a good woman, she just wanted what her body and soul needed the most at the moment... him!

"Please what, Princess?" Damien pressed, wanting her to say the words out loud. He wasn’t satisfied only with her showing interest and taking the initiative, he wanted to break all the walls surrounding her and bring out the soul that would be just as playful, bold, and fierce as him.

"My Lord..." Annalise stared at him with pleading eyes, not wanting to say what he wanted to hear from her. Doing it and saying it out loud were two different things and she wasn’t ready for the latter.
