Savage Possession (Temple of Luna #1) (9 page)

Yes.
She rose on her knees and eased between
his legs. Her hands slid up his thighs, and she marveled at the
heat and hardness of his muscles through the thin ceremonial pants
he wore. “Taste me.”

Long fingers curved around the vulnerable back of
her neck, the grip just tight enough to show strength. To show
dominance. His heartbeat thundered in her ears as he licked her
lower lip and growled softly. “Open.”

Zahra opened her mouth on a gasp, surprised by
the way the simple brush of his tongue stoked the fire inside her.
His kiss was slow and demanding, claiming her mouth with every hard
thrust of his tongue, every rough scrape of his teeth.

He didn’t stop, not until her head was spinning and
her hands were clenched on his legs. “Jarek.” It was too soon for
her skin to feel too tight, for her to shiver at the slightest
touch.

Too soon for her to be so ready.

He bit her lip hard and growled into her mouth, his
fingers fisting in her hair. “Do you want me to stop?”

The thought almost hurt. “No, don’t stop.
Please.”

His hand urged her head back until her throat was
bared to him. He nuzzled the edge of her chin and inhaled. “I’m in
Luna’s Temple. I remember that. But you don’t feel like a
priestess.”

“
I’m a healer as well as a
priestess, Jarek.” Zahra moved her hands to his chest, barely
touching him. “A doctor, like you.”

Jarek snarled and caught one wrist, her fingers
closing over the thin leather cuff so hard the jewels surely
bruised his hand. “Doctors can’t heal me. Sedated the body,
confused the mind. I don’t need a doctor.”

Her wrist ached, but she didn’t move. “I’m not here
to hurt you.”

“
I know.” The fingers in her hair
gentled as he licked a hot path up her throat. “You want me. I can
smell it.”

“
Not just that.” She squeezed her
eyes shut and concentrated on the fierce confusion inside
him--desire and pain and even fear. “I need you.”

“
I want to taste you.” His teeth
closed over her pulse for one heart-stopping moment, just hard
enough to draw a whimper from her throat.
