Free Kissing Phoenix by Shona Husk Page B

humanity racing through her blood before she became something else. Would she still love him when she was no longer human?
    Tears filled her eyes.
    His thumbs brushed her cheeks. “You will always be my Lil, no matter what happens.” He placed a chaste kiss on her lips.
    His Lil. She could hold onto that. Only her body was changing, not her mind. She’d read one of Aidan’s old books on Weres and the various types. Her research made it all seem easy when it wasn’t. Knowing the process wasn’t the same as living it or consciously making the choice to change instead of being born with it. Because she was human and they didn’t want anyone knowing what they were doing, she’d been unable to talk to a Were. That would have to wait until afterward.
    She wasn’t ready for this. She wanted a few more minutes with Aidan before everything changed. Before she changed. Her tongue flicked over his lip, seeking him out, wanting more than a pale kiss shadowed with worry. She wanted one more taste of life, just in case it all went wrong.
    Lilith looped her fingers into his belt. “You don’t get to hold back tonight.”
    “You need to be strong,” he murmured against her mouth.
    “No. I need you.” She kissed him hard so the tip of his fang grazed her lip. She shuddered and tipped her head, exposing her throat, willing him to bite.
    As his lips touched her throat, control slid away like mist in the sun. Her body demanded more of Aidan, but he didn’t break the skin. Not yet, he was teasing her, his tongue making circles over her pulse. Her hands traced over his back, pulling him closer, tugging off his shirt. She needed to commit every detail to memory.
    Between kisses, her clothes were peeled off. She was shedding clothes the way cats shed hair in the summer to cope with the heat. “If I die—”
    Aidan crushed her to him, the embrace too tight. “You won’t.” He kissed her forehead, then her lips. “I won’t let you. I can’t live without you.”
    His leg parted her thighs and his fingers slid into her damp panties, teasing her with feathery touches. But a hint of fang on skin and she was ready, her pussy wet and her body pulsing with heat. Raw need for life surged through her veins. She nipped at his lip and he responded in kind. Rough, but careful. His teeth drew no blood even though it flowed so close to the surface, seeking escape. He’d handled her like glass the past week. The bites he’d made had been shallow as if he were holding back when what she wanted was everything. Tonight she didn’t care. She wanted to feel everything one more time, to see Aidan unrestrained and unworried about hurting her. After this, things would be different. She’d be well and one of them—a non-human.
    Lilith worked his belt open and then his jeans, needing Aidan inside her, filling her core. She took hold of his hard shaft—he was just as ready. She smoothed her thumb over the dimpled head. He groaned and she tightened her grip, stroking the length of his cock as if she could tempt him into losing control. His eyes lightened as he thrust into her fisted hand. The white eyes didn’t scare her, they were a sign of how much he wanted her. A lust only she could sate.
    She swept her tongue over his nipple, then she bit. Not as gentle as she once had been, but she knew how much he liked to feel her teeth. Aidan shuddered, a groan lodged in the back of his throat. Unable to help herself, her hips rocked against his thigh, trying to find the right rhythm to take her to the edge. He moved with her, circling her clit, dipping into her pussy so his fingers were slick with her cream.
    Her eyes closed as she gave into his touch. When his lips touched her neck, her body trembled like a flower in a thunderstorm, waiting to feel his razor sharp teeth in her flesh. Her breath became shallow pants.
    “Do it.”
    “Say it.” He whispered in her ear.
    “Bite me.” Fuck me and send me over the edge.
    Aidan’s teeth scored her skin,
