“Excellent control, love.” He squeezed her arse.
Echo smirked and reached out to lick the wound.
He felt it closing over. “That’s a neat trick.”
She lifted her head to whisper against his lips. “You taste as amazing as you smell.”
“Oh really?” He flipped her, pinning her to the bed. “I have a feeling you taste just as delicious. Lie still, love. I’m hungry too.”
Within seconds he had her naked and sprawled across the bedspread.
Elijah devoured the sight of her as he stripped. His cock had never looked more painful or needy and he wrapped a hand around himself, stroking as his eyes feasted on this extraordinary woman.
Her nipples puckered into tight little buds at the sight of him pleasuring himself.
The urge to thrust into her, to fuck her until they both saw stars, was strong. But the need to be the greatest lover Echo Payne had ever had ruled him.
Gripping her thighs, he spread her open.
“Put your arms above your head,” he commanded.
Her breathing hitched as she followed orders, the action causing her breasts to rise invitingly. Her pussy glistened, her scent growing muskier by the second.
Elijah cocked his head, deciding to test something. “Don’t move. I’m in control.”
That beautiful scent flooded the room.
Satisfaction slammed through him.
Echo liked to give up control in the bedroom.
Good to know.
Without further ado, Elijah slid between her spread legs, lifting them over his shoulders, and tilting her tight perfect arse up. Then he feasted. He licked at her pussy, testing what she liked, enjoying her soft little moans as he played with her. Done playing, he suckled her clit between his teeth and pulled.
Echo’s cry filled him with feral triumph as he switched between fucking her with his tongue and sucking at the bundle of nerves at her apex.
When she shattered on his tongue, Elijah could take no more. He’d learn every inch of her beautiful body later.
For now, he needed inside her.
Crawling over her, he took pleasure in watching the silver swirl in her eyes. They silvered when she was sexually aroused too. Interesting.
“Put your legs around me,” he demanded gruffly as he pinned her wrists to the bed.
Her cheeks flushed as she obeyed.
“I’m going to fuck you,” he huffed against her lips as his cock nudged at her hot, wet entrance. “I’m going to fuck you and then I’m going to taste every inch of you.”
She pushed against his hold on her wrists as if testing him. Elijah held her down harder, and she actually moaned.
“Fuck …” He grunted against her lips. “When I can think a little clearer, you and I are going to explore this need to be dominated.”
The silver that had been bleeding back to jade turned mercury.
Elijah pushed inside her, his grip on her wrists tightening with his desire. Echo clasped snugly around his cock in hot perfection as he pumped between her toned pale thighs.
In her need, she pushed against his hold on her wrists and when he pressed her down harder, he felt her inner muscles clamp around him. She loved it.
Suddenly, she gasped. “Elijah … your eyes are gold.”
Fuck. It was something he’d learned to control over the years. His eyes bled gold when he was feeling emotions strongly. His parents had taught him how to contain it. But with Echo, he hadn’t thought to hide it.
“They’re beautiful,” she whispered huskily. “You’re beautiful.”
“Bite me,” Elijah demanded, wanting to feel that heightened arousal while he was inside her.
Echo pulsed around him in answer seconds before she lifted her head and sank her fangs into his neck. Elijah halted the thrust of his hips because the pulling sensation was so overwhelming. “Yes,” he groaned. “Take what you need, love.”
His cock throbbed inside her as she licked and sucked at his neck. Finally, she gave one more swipe to heal the wound, her head falling back on the pillow. His blood dripped from the corner of her lush mouth, and the sight was strangely erotic.
As if she sensed his feelings, her features turned taut as her inner muscles tightened around his cock.
Elijah began to pump into her again. Hard, savage thrusts as she arched her back, lips parted on cries growing in need and decibel before her inner muscles clenched around him so tightly, his own orgasm took him by surprise.
“My God!” he groaned as he emptied in spectacularly hard jerks inside her.
He was aware of Echo’s arms around his waist, her palms caressing his back in soothing strokes. Realizing he had all his weight on her, he gently pulled out and rolled onto his back.
They both lay there, catching their breaths, taking in the magnitude of their sexual chemistry and the line they’d just crossed.

Echo had never been more certain that control was her gift as a supernatural. If anyone should have tipped her over the edge, it was this fae male. His scent, his blood … it made her incisors tingle with the urge to lengthen even though she’d slaked her hunger. She’d never tasted anything like his blood. The rumors were true that fae blood made human blood seem like cheap wine compared to a bottle of Cristal.
