Born of Ice

He dropped the bottle and ground his teeth as pleasure ripped through his entire body. Cupping her face, he reveled in the sensation of her hot mouth caressing him while he watched her taste him. It was the hottest thing he’d ever seen and it set fire to every molecule of his body.

Alix groaned at the salty taste of him, but it was the gentleness of his hands on her face that surprised her. He was actually caressing her while she pleased him. No one had ever done that to her before. Normally they pulled her hair and thrust against her, not caring if they hurt her or not.

But he brushed her hair back from her face while his fingers played against her scalp, sending chills over her. She looked up to see him watching her. The tenderness in his eyes scorched her.

Smiling, she licked her way down to the base so that she could tease the rest of him.

Devyn growled at the sensation of her tongue licking him. He felt like his entire body was on fire. Unable to stand it, he pulled her up so that he could kiss her.

Alix’s head swam at the sensation of his lips on hers. Fierce, yet tender, he explored every inch of her mouth. And it left her breathless. She’d been absolutely right. His kiss was electric as he lifted her up and set her down on his desk.

He pushed her shirt up with a slow, gentle hand. His dark eyes burning, he left her lips to taste her breasts. She cupped his head to her chest as he licked and teased her nipple. She shivered as waves of pleasure racked her body in a way she’d never expected. Each lick sent a tremor through her.

Oh my God, he’s incredible . . .

Her blood felt thick as he dipped his hand under her waistband until he was touching the part of her that was white-hot with need.

Devyn growled at how wet she was and at how bad he wanted inside her.

She’s your engineer. You shouldn’t be doing this.

He knew that deep inside, but she’d come to him. Had he been sober, he might have been able to send her away. But right now . . .

There was no way.

And as he sank his fingers deep inside her, she hissed in his ear. That sound resonated through him.

“Tell me what you want, Alix.”

She rubbed herself against him. “I want you, Devyn.”

He smiled as she finally used his name. He kissed her before he spoke again. “I want to savor you, but I can’t right now. I want you too badly. If you bear with me, I swear I’ll make it up to you.”

Alix didn’t understand that as he stepped back to pull her pants off. Before she could ask him what he meant, he buried himself deep inside her body. Biting her lip, she groaned at how good he felt there. She looked up to see him watching her.

He took her hand in his and tenderly kissed her palm as he thrust against her hips.

She wrapped her legs around his waist and arched her back to draw him even deeper inside her. He lowered his head to taste her breasts as he quickened his strokes.

Devyn’s head was spinning at the warmth of her body under his. He had no idea why he wanted her the way he did, why she called out to him, but right now, he was lost to her. He brushed his fingers over her lips, admiring the small Cupid’s bow. She wrapped her arms around him and held him close.

And for some reason he couldn’t fathom, her embrace soothed a part of him he hadn’t even realized was hurting. Her arms made him feel . . .

He wasn’t even sure he could explain it.

Closing his eyes, he savored that sensation. His body was pitched on the verge of release. He bit his lip, trying to keep it under control. He’d slighted her enough with the foreplay. He wasn’t about to disappoint her in this, too.

He slid his hand down between them until he found her cleft. She jerked the instant he touched her. His breathing ragged, he listened to her body until he found the right rhythm for her.

Alix shivered as Devyn’s hand played in time to his strokes. It heightened her pleasure to a level she’d never known before.

“That’s it, baby,” he breathed in her ear. “Come for me.” He drove himself in deep to punctuate those words.

She wasn’t sure what he was asking for. All she knew was that she’d never felt anything like this. Her body was completely molten. In the past, she’d been watching the clock, doing any-and everything she could to speed things along so that they’d finish and she could get back to whatever she’d been doing before.

But with Devyn . . .

She never wanted this to end. She loved the way he felt inside her. And then she felt something inside her explode. It came from somewhere deep and shook her entire body. Before she could stop herself, she screamed out.

Devyn laughed in her ear as he moved even faster, increasing the pleasure. Each one of his strong, deep strokes took her even higher.

And then she felt his release. He gasped an instant before he shook around her. He took her hand into his and laced their fingers together in an act so sweet it branded her heart.

With their bodies still joined, he pulled back to kiss the tip of her nose. He trailed his kisses to her lips, her neck, and then her breasts while she lay there in wonder.

“What was that?”

He frowned. “What was what?”
