Needing is One Thing

Chapter 18. Could you take care of a broken soul? (NSFW)

Mika felt herself fall.

The magic surrounded her, roared through her, electrifying her as she looked into James' eyes. Her body flooded with need and want as brilliant gold blinded her to all but him.

His mouth came down on hers, taking, devouring. She gasped against his lips and slid her fingers up into his hair, making him moan and arch into her. He kissed her lips, her cheeks, tucked her hair back and tilted her chin up to run kisses down her neck, each touch making him stronger. Mika sighed and closed her eyes, the feeling intensifying as the magic heightened her awareness of him.

James moved closer, leaning over to nuzzle her jaw and whisper in her ear. His tawny voice sent shivers down her spine.

"I have dreamt of this every night since I met you. If you want me, if you need me, call my name." His tongue slid over the curve of her ear, nipped the soft skin beneath her earlobe before continuing. "I want to hear you calling my name all night long. I will never have enough of you."

Mika felt desire pool in her lower belly. Excited, she slid her hand down the back of James' neck, lightly running her nails over him as he sucked on her skin, marking her again. Her head swam with his power over her and with the realization of the power she had over him. He could be her slave but she would do anything for him.

Mika tilted her head to kiss James' cheek, her fingers reaching up to lightly caress his horns as she whispered back, "Raestrao."

James growled, sliding his arm around her waist and pulling her tight to him. He inhaled sharply, inundated with her scent as his desire pressed against her. He leaned his horns into her caress and took her lips again, deepening their kiss. Mika opened her mouth to him, a thrill coursing through her as his tongue slid in to twine with hers.

He was reviving, his spirit strengthening, his hunger deepening. James closed his eyes to revel in the feel of her, the taste of her, letting her overwhelm him as he slowly drank her in. He lost himself in her tenderness, her loving touch, giving himself up to it all as he took from her.

His hunger claimed him in earnest. James rolled over Mika to straddled her legs, pinning her to his bed. His hands shoved at her jacket as his tongue plunged into her mouth.

She could feel his hunger as if it were her own. She couldn't get the offending fabric off fast enough, her arms struggling to pull free from the sleeves as James' hands impatiently slid up under her blouse. His fingers ran over her bare belly, up her ribs, teasing at the underside of her bra as she moaned into his mouth.

Finally, she managed to pull her blazer off and toss it to the floor. He leaned back, already pulling her blouse over her head and throwing it out into the room to follow its predecessor.

The temptation was too great and Mika sat up to run her hands over James' chest as he stretched to throw the garment, raking her nails down his abs and sliding her fingers along the v of his hips. He gloried in her touch as her hands moved over him. His eyes flashed, looking down at her with a wicked grin. Molten gold poured through her veins, making her shudder and pant.

James' eyes burned into hers as his hands ran up her ribs, sliding over her bra to fondle her. It sent a spear of pleasure through her and she arched into his touch, giving a mewl of pleasure before he leaned back down and kissed it from her lips. His fingers slid under the lace, rubbed and tugged in ways that had Mika squirming under him, gasping between kisses as their mouths met and their tongues danced. Her excitement ramped up, coiling. Her bra quickly followed her blouse.

James looked down at her and Mika blushed. Lust heated her skin, flushed her face. She'd never been exposed like this before. She'd never had someone, someone who mattered so much to her, see her like this. His eyes burned as they traced her curves, golden fire warming her skin. His mouth quickly followed.
