Shell-shocked, Thayne merely stood stock still, jaw hanging open as he took in every detail of her figure. Her tapered waist moved in the most seductive of manners, each step she took sending a shiver up his spine, and her breasts strained against the fabric of her shirt in a way that made his fingers twitch. Even though he wasn’t doing it consciously, he already imagined how it’d feel to have her skin under his fingertips.
This was the Enchantress. No doubt in his mind. Who else would elicit such a response from him? He felt as if his body had gained a mind of its own, a maddening cocktail of hormones rushing through his bloodstream. All the self-control he prided himself on collapsed like a sandcastle under a tidal wave. The only thing he could think about was that he wanted her. Hell, it was more than that—he needed her. Desperately.
“I’m sorry to drop by like this,” she spoke without turning to face him. She ducked under the counter and, with both hands on her hips, scanned the small shelf just beneath the counter. Her eyes widened as she found whatever she was looking for, and she picked up the package Thayne had accepted on her behalf that morning. “It’s just that I got a notification that a special delivery came in a day early, and I really need to make sure that—”
She stopped talking once she raised her eyes. Her gaze pierced him like a spear, and it felt as if the air crackled with electricity. The package slipped from her fingers and thumped back onto the shelf.
Don’t, he thought, the thunderous pounding of his heart making it almost impossible to hear his own thoughts. Don’t you fucking dare, Thayne.
Before he even knew what the hell he was doing, he took one step forward. The stride was difficult at first, as though he was moving while sedated, but then all resistance faded. He was propelled forward by something he didn’t quite understand, but he didn’t care. Right then, only one thing mattered. The Enchantress…
She didn’t remain frozen either.
Ducking under the counter, she stepped in front of him, that same stunned expression on both of their faces, and then it happened in the blink of an eye. One moment he was lost in the deep blue of her eyes, and the next he crushed his mouth to hers.
Without even thinking, he pushed her back until she was pinned against the counter and then parted her lips with the tip of his tongue. The warmth of her mouth was just as good as he imagined, and it took less than a second before he was as hard as he had ever been.
With his hands firmly planted on her hips, he lifted and pushed her on top of the counter, relishing the way her breasts pressed against his chest. She seemed as driven by lust as him, and her hands quickly found their way to his waist. She got rid of the apron with one swift gesture and then yanked his shirt over his head.
He returned the favor just as eagerly.
He tossed her shirt over the counter and then pulled back from her so he could look at the rising curve of her breasts. Her lace bra was the only barrier between their half-naked bodies.
Resistance was futile.
Without saying a word, he picked her up, walked around the counter, and carried her straight into the cramped stockroom. Closing the door with the heel of his boot, he went right back to kissing her, enjoying the way her fingers moved over his naked torso. Her fingertips glided over the ridges and grooves of his abs, and soon enough he heard the metallic clink of his belt as it loosened around his waist.
“What the hell are we doing?” he whispered against her lips. A sliver of rationality pierced the fog on his mind, but his hands didn’t seem to share his confusion. He pressed one hand right between her legs, forcing a quivering moan up her throat.
“Oh, shut up,” she threw back at him, swaying her hips so she ground against his palm. He melted into her without another word, happy to obey, and got busy with peeling her jeans down her legs. His mind almost snapped as he glanced down her body, her underwear leaving little to the imagination.
Tall flames of lust danced inside his body and mind, and he threaded his fingers in her dark hair. Locking his eyes on hers, he undid the clasp of her bra, his breath catching in his throat as her breasts spilled free. Without a moment’s hesitation, he leaned in and wrapped his lips around one hard nipple, sucking it into his mouth and allowing his tongue to dance around the nub.
She tasted like heaven.
Moving fast, he hooked his fingers on her thong’s elastic band and pulled it against her thigh. There was a ripping sound as the fabric tore apart, and then she was fully naked, the warmth emanating from her body driving him absolutely crazy.
Once she pushed his pants and boxers down, freeing his hardness, he knew there’d be no stopping them. She was an Enchantress, no doubt about it, and it was very likely she had cast a spell on him. Still, then and there, that mattered little.
He wanted her, and he was going to take her.
Consequences be damned.
Chapter Three
There was nothing Kiki could do. From the moment she locked eyes on this vampire, there was only one conclusion. Bared to him completely, Kiki feasted her eyes on every contour of his sculpted chest, his firm, chiseled hips, and his stunningly hard cock.
As if someone else controlled her, Kiki tipped back and opened herself to him in every way. With something between a snarl and a groan, Thayne nudged his hardness up against her wetness and then slid in with one lingering thrust. The pressure of him filling her made Kiki cry out, and he clamped his mouth over hers.
With the heat of his body so close, she twined herself around him on pure instinct. Locking her legs over his driving hips, she pulled him deeper, closer to her with each stroke. Her hands fired across his back, searching for anything she could hold on to, desperate to anchor herself as her mind dissolved.
He tore his mouth from hers, panting. “Fuck,” his breath was hot in her ear. “Oh, fuck.”
If he was giving her instructions, Kiki was going to follow them. Riding her hips up to meet his, she pressed herself to him, letting her body beg for more.
“Yes,” she moaned, taking his earlobe between her teeth. “Take me.”
Thayne stood, and Kiki snaked her arms around his neck, continuing the furious pace of her hips. In an instant, her back was against the door, and he pounded into her with everything he had. She had never been so full, so stretched, in her life. It bordered on pain, but she was so hungry for the sensations that nothing else mattered.
His fingers dug into her ass, holding on as the frenzy of her need raced away. In a blurred moment, they were in the shop proper. Thank god nobody was out there, but Kiki was pretty certain she wouldn’t have stopped if there were a hundred customers present. She couldn’t.
Besides, they would probably have to thank her for the privilege of seeing the most perfect sex ever. Right?
“Lie down.” It was as if someone else’s voice rattled out of her core as she commanded the vampire. Sprawled on his back, Kiki was able to take full ownership of her pleasure, riding him in whatever way her body demanded. And, at the moment, it demanded a lot.
“Holy shit.” Thayne’s eyes burned a hole in her breasts as they jiggled with her every grinding move.
“Take them. They’re yours.” In a flash, he leaned up from the floor and locked his warm mouth around the diamond point of her nipple. A dizzy shudder ran through her as his tongue lavished her with generous attention.
