After Dark (Between the Veils Series, Book One)

by Norris, Kris

  “Fuck, Temperance.”

  He made a few more passes with his tongue, sucking her clit, when she scraped her teeth across the underside of his crown. The sharp sensation broke his control, and he pumped his hips, filling her mouth with his shaft as he clamped his fingers around her hips, anchoring her to him as he let himself go.

  She moaned in pleasure, begging him to come in her mouth as she applied more pressure, holding him prisoner. He closed his eyes, feeling the rush of pleasure race down his spine and into his shaft, shooting down her throat as she locked him deep inside.

  Streaks of white light flashed across his vision, slowly vanishing as he pried open his eyelids. Her body hovered inches above him, her obvious excitement lining her folds.

  “Gall was right. You are a witch. And now it’s my turn.”

  He attacked her clit, licking and sucking as he sank two fingers inside her, pumping her hard as he lapped up her juice. Her voice broke the silence, his name passing her lips with every panting breath. Her body tensed above him, her thighs squeezing his shoulders.

  “Come for me, darling.”

  He added another finger, scissoring them apart as he nipped her clit. The sharp sensation was all she needed. An unbridled cry lit the air as her hips tilted forward, grinding his mouth against her clit, as he took her deep, brushing the tips of his fingers across her G-spot. Her back bowed and she came, creaming his tongue as her channel contracted around his hand.

  Avery kept licking, knowing the continued motion would prolong the sensation. She shivered again, pounding her fist on the bed before arching away, collapsing on her side next to him.

  He smiled in smug satisfaction, twisting on the bed until his face brushed hers. She managed to open her eyes, the stunning blue stealing his breath. His shaft lengthened against his thighs at the sight, and he knew he wouldn’t rest until he’d loved her.

  He brushed a few stray strands of hair out of her face. “Now that was an orgasm.”

  She sighed, reaching one arm out to him. He shifted, positioning himself over her, loving the way her body accepted him, her sex granting him access. He held her gaze as he eased inside, slowly taking her channel as his mouth touched hers.

  She kissed him back, teasing the muscles in his back, scratching her nails lightly across his skin as he hilted himself inside her, groaning at the rhythmic contractions that assaulted his cock.

  “Are you coming again? Damn, I love how you respond to me.”

  She pulled him close, kissing and teasing his mouth and jaw as he pumped back and forth, building her up again. He could feel her orgasm rising. How her muscles clenched and her breathing hitched. The way her pussy coated him with fresh juice or how her voice caught in her throat. He didn’t stop, determined to feel her release before he gave her his. She bit at his shoulder, locking her heels behind his back, using them to lever up and meet each punishing thrust. He lifted her ass, tilting her pelvis, brushing his over her clit as he increased his motion, pounding into her. Her breathing stopped, suspended for one glorious moment before she screamed his name and climaxed, the sheer strength of her convulsions sending him over.

  He jerked against her hips, his arms braced beside her shoulders, his head pushed back. He waited until the dizzying feeling subsided before collapsing to the bed, falling into place beside her. She breathed deeply, snuggling into him as he wrapped her arms around her, holding her close. Her heart pounded against his, and he knew he’d finally come home.

  Temperance kissed his chest, her ragged breath fluttering across his skin. “I guess it’s a good thing I’m a witch. A mere human wouldn’t live through a love session with you.”

  “I always suspected you were special…in more ways than one.”

  She smiled against his skin when a sudden breeze rustled her hair. She glanced up at him, her brow creased, when a disembodied voice whispered hello.

  Avery sighed, pushing his head into the pillow. “Don’t they know we’re on our honeymoon?”

  “You did pick one of the supposed haunted hotels in Las Vegas.”

  “Every hotel in Vegas is said to be haunted.”

  “Then I guess we’re just lucky.” She kissed him again, grabbing a blanket and tossing it over them. “Just go to sleep. We can investigate in the morning…or tomorrow afternoon.”

  He kissed her hair as he closed his eyes. Temperance Dunnigan was definitely going to be his greatest achievement.

  About the Author

  Author, single mother, slave to chaos-I’m a jack-of-all-trades who’s constantly looking for my ever elusive clone.

  I started writing some years back, and it took me a while to realize I wasn’t destined for the padded room, and that the voices chattering away in my head were really other characters trying to take shape. (And since they weren’t telling me to conquer the human race, I went with it. Though I suppose if they had…insert evil laugh).

  I love writing erotic novels. I love heroines who kick butt, heroes who are larger than life, and sizzling love scenes that leave you feeling just a bit breathless.
