She'd shushed him! "You see, my darling demon? We're so in tune, you don't even need to voice your thoughts to me." She gave him a smart-ass grin. "It's like we're already one."
"A threat about the future?" He raised his head, bar­ing his lengthening fangs. "I won't just hurt you, Sabine. I'll kill you." So much at stake.
Another futile attempt to power free from the chains left the manacles cutting into his skin, blood dripping.
He was truly trapped. Which meant he couldn't get to his brother. To the sword.
To be this close to what he wanted, prevented by bonds even his strength couldn't break . . .
This sorceress had stopped him-she'd done this to him. She was the obstacle standing in his way. One small female would undermine centuries of toiling, of warring.
"You'll kill me?" She lightly raked her nails from his chest to his navel, then sifted them through the trail of hair running down from it. He just stifled a shudder of
pleasure.
With her, his skin seemed a thousand times more sensitive, his body hungering for release like never before. And yet at the same time, he felt on the verge of rage, beginning to turn demonic.
Though his breed of demon was prone to mindless rages, he'd always kept them at bay. Now being with her was making him crazed, making him lose reason so easily. "Yes, kill you," he grated. "You Sorceri are physically easy to destroy. If I strangle you long and hard enough ..."
"Just as you had begun to do. Know this, demon, nothing makes me more cross than attempts on my life. I have a particular aversion to being murdered."
What in the hell was she talking about?
Kneeling between his legs, she leaned over him, ] placing her hands flat on his shoulders. As she lowered her head, she said, "Besides, would you really want to kill the mother of your future offspring?"
"You little bi-" Her tongue on his chest silenced him, the words dying in his throat.
Inhaling deeply, he wrestled for control. He'd begun turning, his rage building in time with his sexual hun-ger. Never had he felt both the turning and lust at the same time.
What is happening to me?
She began kissing down his body, her silky hair trail' ing over his heated skin. He needed to bury his face in her long hair. Why hadn't he done that before? No, he needed to kill her.
A ticking bomb. And she's just returned it to her lair.
She raised her gaze to his but continued to dip lick­ing kisses to his torso, like a creature drinking from a pool. Then her hands were on his pants.
As they stared at each other, she slowly lowered his zipper, the sound so loud in the silent chamber. Against his will, his hips rolled with his need.
"You felt how wet I was," she whispered, giving him another lick. He could feel her breaths hot on his skin, traveling lower. "Wouldn't you want to sink this into me?"
Just as she was baring his cock, he bucked his hips. "Release me!"
Scenes of things he wanted to do to her flashed in his mind. Pin her to the ground and shove into her. Pumping his seed into her pale body again and again. Till she begs me for mercy. More fantasies, more rage tangled in his mind.
Her eyes widened at his shifting visage, at the demonic changes he could feel. She finally drew back.
He twisted around, driving his horns into the chains over his head, gouging his arms in the process.
"Calm, demon," she murmured, her mesmerizing voice washing over him. But he fought her pull-
She took his c**k in her firm grasp; he jerked in surprise. He'd been getting himself off for so long, the softness of her hands stunned him.
She began working him steadily, and thrashing his body only made his c**k shove in and out of her fist.
Fighting, twisting, hating her, even as she continued stroking him. Blood poured from new wounds at his wrists and ankles-
Like a lightning bolt, a shock of pleasure shot through him, unfamiliar pleasure. Dazed, he lowered his
eyes.
Moisture had beaded on the swollen crown, and she'd blown on it, cooling the hot pre-semen that had collected there.
When his shaft pulsed in her hand, seeming to strain toward her parted lips, she stared with eyes shimmer-ing once more. She was excited, her breaths panting, reminding him again of how aroused she'd been before, how she'd wet his fingers. "I can see it throbbing,
demon."
He believed her-he had never felt this kind of ach­ing pressure in his entire life.
Contusion welled, because he craved feeling her gaze on him, wanted her to lust for what she saw. He wanted her to desire him, even as he needed to kill her. The conflict within him grew stronger.
She dabbed her tongue to her bottom lip. "I think you want me to lick you there. To close my mouth over the head and suckle you."
As he groaned at her words, his c**k jerked, and another bead arose. When he arched his back from the astonishing pleasure, she murmured, "Only your female can bring forth your seed. Have you ever been this close?"
I . . . haven't.

"Are you beginning to believe I'm yours?" As he'd done a few times before, the demon met her gaze steadily with his inscrutable obsidian eyes, but he said nothing. Sabine realized he did this when he was tempted to lie. Most people looked away in the same situation, but his eyes challenged hers.
She leaned forward. "I can't imagine how frustrat­ing it must be not to spill your seed. Sex must be so diminished. I bet you constantly wonder what it would be like to mount a soft, writhing female and pour your seed into her."
At her words, his brows drew together as if in pain, his lips curling back from his fangs.
"Now you can stop wondering. Say a few words, and I'll climb atop you and feed you into my body. I'll ride you so hard, demon, until you can't come anymore." She wanted to-she was nearly as aroused as he was.
To know this at last . . . she'd never imagined that he'd deny her this final step.
The crown was now slick all over. As they both stared, she was finally able to read one of his thoughts, because he was silently commanding her.
Run your tongue over the head! hit her mind like a blast of heat.
"Do it, tassia," he rasped aloud.
"What does that word mean?"
"Wicked female, because that's what you are. Now taste what you've wrought from me."
"I want to," she murmured in truth as she leaned down, lower, closer. Her br**sts ached, her ni**les swelling into tight points. "I will."
She knew exactly when he could feel her breath on his flesh; his every muscle tensed in anticipation.
"Say the words, Rydstrom. Make me your queen."
