A sharp cry fell from her lips as she came. Darien’s warm breath teased her nipple as he let out a sexy growl. She hadn’t even gotten her breath back when he shredded the satin sash around his wrists and whipped her onto her back. He settled between her parted legs and excitement rushed through her.
“Neither one of us are capable of keeping our hands to ourselves for long,” she said as his swept over her body.
He kissed her, then cupped her breasts, heavy with desire, and caressed them. He tongued her nipple again and erotic sensations flooded her veins once more.
One hand left her breast and skimmed down to the apex of her legs. He rubbed her clit aggressively, making her writhe beneath him.
“That’s so good,” she whispered on a ragged breath.
He continued massaging the swollen knot of nerves, and just when she was about to come, he pushed two fingers into her wet pussy, filling her.
“Oh!” Her back bowed and her eyes squeezed shut. He only had to pump a few times and she came. “Darien!”
Her orgasm was a powerful one that stole her breath. Her pulse raced and her inner walls clutched his fingers as she savored the release.
Eventually, he withdrew from her and took her by the hand. He led her to the sofa and he sank into a plush cushion. Guiding her to turn around and straddle his thighs, he gripped her hips and brought her down onto his lap, positioning her so the head of his cock nudged her opening.
“I do enjoy how quickly you recover,” she told him.
“I have inspiration.”
She smiled, though he couldn’t see it because she wasn’t facing him. Lowering herself and taking him fully into her body sent a ripple of delight down her spine. He settled against the sofa, and her back pressed to his chest. His large hands covered her breasts, squeezing them and toying with her nipples. Her hips rocked with his as he thrust into her. His teeth grazed her neck. She cataloged every sensation, thrilling over each one.
“You feel so incredible inside me.” Jade loved how his thick cock stretched her, how deeply he pushed into her. But mostly, she craved the intimate connection they shared. The sense of belonging to one another and wanting to give pleasure.
Darien kissed her neck as one of his hands moved between her legs and he rubbed her clit while his cock massaged her inner walls. She felt the familiar fiery stirrings and the heady surge of desire. It still amazed her that she had an eternity to experience this heated passion with her immortal lover.
So as he made love to her with assertive strokes, she allowed the fire to blaze bright and then erupt, knowing she wouldn’t have to wait long to drown in sexual bliss all over again.
She squeezed Darien’s shaft as she came, milking him as he thrust upward, until his body tensed and he erupted inside her with a satisfied grunt. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight as they both reveled in the afterglow.

The wedding date arrived three weeks later. Jade learned it was to be held near the cottage, though the details were still a mystery to her. She and her maid of honor, Sheena, and her bridesmaid, Lisette, gathered at the small house to help her prepare for the evening.
Jade stood in front of the full-length, oval-shaped mirror encased in rich cherry wood that Sheena had given her as a wedding present. She surveyed herself from all angles, finding the white silk gown the perfect complement to the Star of Nadia, which Lisette had secured at her throat.
The strapless dress had a sweetheart neckline and the bodice flowed cleanly and seamlessly over her body, into an A-line skirt that flared at her feet. It was precisely as she’d imagined—sophisticated and elegant, fitting for a queen, yet simple enough to allow her stunning piece of jewelry to take center stage.
She’d pulled her hair up but left long, loosely curled tendrils to cascade over her shoulders and back. Lisette accented the updo with strategically placed sparkly beads that snapped onto strands of hair without the need for pins. She’d offered the glittery concept to one of Sheena’s many designers, who’d crafted the tiny enhancements.
The bridal party’s gowns were also simple and elegant, in silver satin. Jade wanted nothing to diminish the radiance of the necklace she wore. Unfortunately, Sheena was capable of stealing the show on her own.
She said to Jade, “You look sensational.”
“I look like I should be the maid of ho
nor and you should be the bride.”
“Hardly.” Sheena beamed at Jade’s reflection in the mirror as she stood behind her. “You just can’t accept how beautiful you are, can you?”
“When standing next to you? Not in a million years.”
With a soft laugh Sheena moved away. “Your groom will back me up on this.”
Butterflies took to flight in Jade’s stomach at the thought of Darien. He would look sexy as hell in his black tuxedo, she had no doubt. She was also giddy over the fact she was actually marrying him.
Although there’d been plenty of protocol preached to her about being the queen, she’d found that Darien’s biggest goal was promoting their unity. Despite the fact she was a demi-demon and now immortal, the plight of humans was still her top priority and he felt it acceptable for her to continue that stance, knowing she had a comprehension of demon life as well.
