Patron.”
    The vein at his throat jumped wildly. She opened her senses to him and realized his heart pounded hard. This time he wasn’t cool and unaffected.
    Desire swirled in his black irises. Drowning in it, she felt the last inhibition slide away, replaced with a burning need. The space between her legs felt empty, aching to have him inside her. Joined fully.
    He set down the lime, his big body tense and waiting.
    “Mara,” he said thickly. “Upstairs.”
    If she went with him, her capitulation would be complete. Mara hesitated.
    Lucien stood, pulling her naked body against his. The ridge of his erection rubbed against her belly. His eyes narrowed, glittering with hard determination.
    “Now.”

Chapter 7
    In his suite, Lucien tugged her toward the bedroom. He flung his wet trunks aside and paced toward her, his naked body glistening with droplets, water beading in the dark hairs of his groin. On his erection.
    Mara looked down. His penis was veined, jutting out from his body. She’d taken her first lover when she was sixteen, and sex had been a hasty session in the backseat of his car, painful and filled with regrets. She had not taken another man into her body since.
    Lucien would not be hasty.
    His kiss was a brush of wet lips as he cupped her face in his strong hands. Moisture from his body mingled with hers as they touched, the droplets joining together and cascading in rivulets down her naked belly. His tongue glided over her lips, licking away moisture.
    He guided her hand down to his penis. “Touch me,” he demanded.
    Mara wrapped her hand around his erection, her fingertips failing to meet. He was huge. She grew wetter at the thought of all that male hardness pushing deep inside her.
    “You want me.” His deep voice rubbed against her in a seductive purr. Lucien pressed against the damp curls at her center. “Here, deep inside you.”
    No. No. No.
    “Yes,” she breathed.
    “Let me come inside you, Mara. Open your body to me, and let me enter. I promise nothing but pleasure, hot sweet pleasure.”
    He ravished her mouth, tongue and teeth plundering and claiming. Mara opened her mouth wider under his coaxing. Lucien hungrily pushed into the wet cavern of her mouth, mimicking what he would do to her body.
    Her nipples crested beneath the wicked thrust of his tongue. An agony of need twined with eager anticipation as he slid his hands over her naked body, cupping her hips. When he pushed her back onto the bed, still kissing her, she wrapped her arms around his neck. Lucien cupped her sex, stroking a finger around the edge of her vagina. Then he parted her with his fingers and pushed a single digit inside.
    The pleasure was so sharp, she arched and cried out. Inside and out he stroked, fire licking between her legs. Mara dug her heels into the mattress.
    Holding onto him, she shivered as he teased and stroked, culling moisture and sliding it across her cleft. He gently rubbed her clit, wringing tiny gasps from her throat. Mara opened her legs wide in a nameless plea. Lucien pulled away from the wet cusp of her mouth.
    “Your mouth is like the most succulent wine. Your skin—” He nuzzled the long column of her throat “—tastes like little sweet berries.”
    A hint of fang pinched at her neck. Mara shuddered, wondering what it would feel like for him to sink his teeth into her. Taste her deeply. Her core spasmed with need.
    Lucien ran his tongue down her throat, pulled back to look deep into her eyes. In his gaze she saw her own desire mirrored.
    “Like that?” he murmured. “Want more?”
    Mara nodded. Words had escaped her pleasure-dazed mind. He gave a wicked smile and continued his exploration.
    Tongue and lips worked wicked magic across her skin as he kissed her bare belly, licked the indentation of her navel. Wildfire blazed through her veins, pushing the cold darkness far, far down. Demon and angel danced with delight at each sizzling stroke. Then he mounted her, his muscled body heavy on
