“So, this whole plan rests on me?”
“No,” Niamh assured him. “Rose and I will do our best to tap into that well of power too.”
Once they’d tightened up the plan’s details, Thea and Conall directed them all to their rooms. For safety, they thought it best that they all didn’t stay under one roof.
The werewolves guided them to a small collection of cabins that sat on the loch not far from Conall and Thea’s home.
As soon as she and Elijah were alone, Echo tore off her sweater without preamble.
Elijah’s eyes turned that arousing preternatural gold as he sensed her need. “You … don’t want to sleep?”
“We’ll sleep when we’re dead dead.” Echo unbuttoned her jeans. “Tomorrow we leave and we might not come back. I don’t want to talk about our plan or about our mating. I just want to feel alive while I can. That all right with you?”
Fierce desire tautened his features. “Tonight we’ll fuck, love. But know there is a serious conversation waiting in our future.”
“I know,” she whispered, heart hammering as she unclipped her bra. “But I need this from you first.”
A mere blink of her eyes later, Echo found herself flat on her back on the bed, limbs splayed, and Elijah naked between her thighs.
She gaped down at him as he stared at her sex with raw hunger. “You’re so fast, I don’t even see you move.”
He smirked at her, his golden eyes making her inner muscles squeeze with need. “Now I’m going to take my precious time, love.”
As he stared into Echo’s eyes, eyes she knew were silver to his gold, his thumbs met in the middle over the lace of her underwear. She gasped as he pressed down. Her hips arched off the bed as he rubbed the fabric against her throbbing clit. The act itself matched with the way Elijah stared at her … No male had ever looked at Echo like that. Like she was the only female in the world and he was desperate for her. She experienced a squeeze of arousal deep in her lower belly, and her stomach shook with it.
Elijah’s eyes dropped, catching the movement. “I smell how much you want me.” His voice was gravelly. “It’s driving me mad. I want to touch and lick and suck every inch of you.” He closed his eyes, his teeth gritted. “It’s taking everything within me to remain patient.”
Echo understood, even if it still terrified her. “Then take me.”
His eyes flew open again, impossibly brighter than before. He’d never looked more like a fae. Echo could suddenly picture him as a fae prince, ethereal and powerful and … untouchable. But he wasn’t untouchable. He was here and warm and hard … and he wanted to belong to her. “Elijah.”
Whatever he read in her expression calmed him somewhat. His fingers brushed her lower belly, curling into her underwear. He peeled them down her legs, and Echo whimpered with excitement at the erotic slowness of the action.
Elijah smirked devilishly at her seconds before he spread her thighs and bent his head. His beard tickled her inner thighs, the sensation unbelievably arousing. Then his mouth was on her, his tongue at her apex.
Heat slammed through Echo, and she pushed her hips into his mouth. Elijah gripped them, pressing them back to the mattress, and then he devoured her.
Elijah studied her reactions, sensed her emotions, and tortured her with pleasure, suckling her clit and then releasing it to lave and lick languorously every time she was on the precipice of coming.
“Elijah,” Echo pleaded, reaching for him. Her fingers slid through his thick hair and tightened. Elijah growled at the slight pull and began fucking her with his tongue. She shuddered, but it still wasn’t enough. Sensing her needs, he licked back up to her clit and sucked as he pumped two fingers gently into her.
“Yes!” Echo felt the climax tighten, tighten, tighten toward an upward release. “Don’t stop. Don’t stop!”
He pumped harder, rougher.
“Elijah!” she cried out as the orgasm flooded through her entire body, her hips shuddering and shaking against his mouth as he continued to lick up every drop of her release.
Her body melted into the mattress and Echo eventually returned to it. Disbelief and wonder awed her. “Oh my … I’ve never … wow.”
Suddenly, she felt the heat of Elijah’s body, the hair on his legs tickling hers, his stomach brushing across her belly as he moved upward. His harsh need made the pulsing inside Echo quicken again as he wrapped his hands around her wrists to pin her arms above her head. Echo pushed against his hold, but his grip was too strong. Elijah held her captive, his features harsh with lust.
Unbelievable desire heated her body, and that need deep inside her reawakened. His gaze dropped to her breasts, to the tight pebbled nipples begging for his mouth.
