Free Trickery by Sabrina York

He cleared his throat. “It was…unforgivable.” Her aura stilled, melted a little at this admission. It was as close to an apology as he could offer and she knew it. He shot a sideways glance in her direction. “We were amazing together.”
    A smile played on her lips, then drifted away. “We were.” She cleared her throat. “But it was a long time ago.”
    “Too long.”
    He reached out an invisible finger, a twining tendril, and drew it lightly over her nipple. It puckered.
    “Stop that,” she muttered, but he saw her shudder. Saw the colors swirling around her change, glow.
    “I can’t.” He stroked again. “I want you, Sky.”
    “Too bad.” She crossed her arms over her chest. It didn’t stop his dancing touch.
    “I always want you, you know. Every moment of every day. I never stopped thinking about you.” He looked away then because he couldn’t bear her beauty. He swallowed. “If it means anything to you…I have remained faithful.”
    Skylar snorted. “Right.”
    Azreal put his palm on his heart, waited until she glanced back at him, and said, “I swear it.”
    Her eyes widened, nostrils flared as she took in the meaning of this, the most solemn vow.
    “But…it’s been…decades.”
    He bowed his head. “I know.”
    They gazed at each other in silence for a long time. When he could no longer resist, he caressed her cheek with another gentle whorl of magic. When she didn’t stop him, when she merely stood there and didn’t stop him, he continued. Added another wisp, one that crawled up her ankle, her calf, her thigh. He shivered as she allowed it. Shivered as he came closer and closer to her core.
    And then he found her. Ah. She was sweet and soft and wet. Just as he remembered. She shuddered when he nudged the hard ball of her clit, and her eyes flew to his. She stared at him as he teased her with a tiny tendril of magic, toying with her, tempting her.
    “It’s a magical night,” he whispered, willing her closer. Wanting her in his arms.
    “It is.” She smiled. Ah, dear Gaia, she smiled. And it was warm.
    He was warm.
    “It’s a magical night…and, my dearest Sky, it’s been far, far too long.”
    When she turned to him, he knew he had her. He saw it in her face, in her expression, in her aura. A sharp thrill snaked down his spine. His balls tightened. He had her back—if only for the night.
    But if he was careful and cautious and played his cards right, he could, perhaps, win her back forever.
    “Shall we find someplace more private?” He took her arm and led her to a tear in the Fabric, one that would whisk them off to a private bower. An enchanted bower he’d been preparing for a long, long time. For far too long.
    And she allowed it.
    In the wink of an eye, they were gone.
