Free The Savage King by Michelle M. Pillow

wonder he had no qualms about undressing for her. With a weapon like that, it was a wonder he didn't roam about naked all the time.
    "Mm, come here," she purred.
    Reaching over with her foot, she ran her toes along his inner thigh. His movements were refined, stalking, graceful, as he crawled over her once more. She loved to see the dominating grace of his muscles as they rippled beneath his skin. His fingers found her laces and slowly parted her from her clothes, kissing her flesh as he leisurely undressed her. She writhed wildly against him, rubbing her calves restlessly over his back, his hips, along his sides, wherever she could reach.
    As his lips latched onto a ripened nipple to suck it gently, she growled, "Ah, untie me. I must be doing something wrong, because I'm on fire and you're calm. Let me loose and I promise to make you lose control."
    "Don't make promises you can't keep," he said into her breast, moving to flick her other nipple with his tongue.
    "What the hell is that suppose to mean?" she demanded, stiffening. She rounded her eyes in horror as if he'd hit her. Moving her leg along his side, she tried to buck him from her body. Her eyes became moist and she blinked to keep from crying out in dismay and embarrassment. She struck him repeated along his waist with her thigh. He grunted at the discomfort, but did not stop his mouth's onslaught.
    Kirill rose up coming to her lips. His leg trapped hers down, burning into her with his thick arousal. An arm wound its way to her thigh to hold it still so she couldn't strike again. She suddenly became aware of just how strong the man-cats really were.
    Kissing her thoroughly breathless, he pulled back. Contemplative, he brushed back her golden hair and asked softly, "What happened to the confident woman who would dare defy a King?"
    Her throat worked nervously, she couldn't move. His eyes stared at her, confident and sure and so in control. It looked to her as if he didn't feel the passion at all. Yet, there was tenderness in him too, and that made her nervous. She ignored his softer side, concentrating on being angry and hurt.
    "Get off," she growled. "We're done here."
    "That's not what you wish," he stated, self-assured.
    Ulyssa frowned. Damn him if he wasn't right.
    "The nef you drank, which made you feel such great uncontrolled passion, gives me the restraint I need to see to your pleasure first. In doing so, I will increase mine." Kirill stopped to kiss her again before moving to rim her ear with his tongue. Nibbling a tender lobe, he continued, "That's why I can't lose control. It has nothing to do with your many charms. The nef controls the beast within my kind. That's why we drink it, to temper ourselves back."
    Ulyssa frowned, not liking his unfair advantage. She wanted him as frantic and needy as she. Though, his explanation did mend her wounded pride.
    "If my drinking of it displeases you, Lyssa, I won't before coming to you in the future," Kirill said.
    Ulyssa tensed. Very carefully, so there was no mistake, she said, "This night is it, Kirill. There will be no in the future."
    Kirill moved his hips to settle between hers in a graceful slide. She shivered as his hard heat neared her delicate opening. She was ready for him, so ready. Her body released a torrent of cream at his nearness.
    "Is that a challenge?" he asked, a bold smile on his firm lips.
    "No," she shot, glad that her voice came out hard and sure. "It's a fa ... ahhhct."
    Kirill thrust forward as she spoke, cutting off her words as he imbedded his shaft deep inside her. Her eyes widened in amazement as his lips found the pulse at her neck. He nipped her skin, holding still as he let her tight body adjust to him.
    Ulyssa was no untried virgin and yet tears of pleasure-pain stung her eyes. Her lips parted, gasping in surprise. All logical arguments left her until all she could think was that he was larger than she'd first thought.
    "Do you hurt?" he asked, his voice impassioned, when she held
