Free Assassin's Kiss by Kate Monroe Page B

he wanted, she forced herself to relax and slowly run her tongue across her parted lips. “Seth, I would hope that by now you realise how entirely powerless I am to deny you! If you want me again, all you need to do is take what is so inescapably yours.”
    He relaxed and arched one brow as he held her tightly against his body. “It took you long enough to admit it, sweetheart; but now I have heard those words, I do not think I shall ever be able to have enough of them!”
    They staggered as one towards the bed, and as Esther fell back onto it, Seth buried his cock inside her once more and pinned her down with one hand against her shoulder, holding nothing back as he knelt between her thighs and slammed into her again and again. She wrapped her legs around his waist with a throaty cry of delight, digging her heels into the small of his back as she reared against him and met each thrust with an answering one of her own.
    This was raw and powerful, filled with a desperate hunger that consumed them both. Nothing else mattered so long as they were together like this. Thrilling in the fierce elation on his face, she reached up and wound her hands through his hair, seeking out his mouth with hers as both of them hurtled towards yet another climax; yet she knew that however much pleasure he gave her, she would never have enough of this or of him.
    With each stroke of his cock her body quivered in glorious anticipation, and she did not even try to stop her orgasm from carrying her away. Foregoing her hold on his hair, she fisted the sheets above her head instead and let him hungrily swallow her rasping cries as he drove them both up the bed. She did not need to speak to tell him how near she was to climaxing; now the only question was which one of them would reach it first.
    Seth finally broke the impassioned kiss, pulling his head back to stare down at her without blinking. “I want to feel you coming for me again, Esther,” he whispered, his words barely more than a rasping groan. “Relax, sweetheart, and let me get you there.”
    Relaxing was impossible when his hand was now snaking between their feverish bodies and moving steadily lower, but Esther breathed out deeply and followed her body’s commands, for it knew instinctively that surrendering to the assassin would bring her all it craved. It had done from the very start, and there was no reason not to trust it now.
    He seemed to know how great her need was and how close to climaxing she was, for he spared no tenderness in coaxing her towards the peak. His caresses rough and urgent from the very first, he toyed with her clit as he continued to thrust into her, his rapid and strangled groans betraying how little time there was left to them. Desperate now despite the numerous climaxes she had already revelled in whilst with him, she rocked and twisted against his hand, and no more than a few heartbeats passed before her climax ripped through her body with an explosion of lust. Her vision swam as wave after wave of pleasure crashed through her, and her head rolled to the side in blissful supplication.
    Lost to the euphoria, Esther closed her eyes as Seth collapsed on top of her, groaning her name over and over again as his weight restrained her against the bed. She would have been content to stay there with him forever, but as the tension slowly drained from his body he lifted his weight away and rolled onto his side.
    She crawled into his arms and let him hold her tightly as they both fought for breath, but as he reached for a sheet to cover them, there came a low but insistent knocking on the door to the outside hallway.
    He scowled fiercely as he pushed himself up to sit, and she had to fight back a tiny smile. Nestling into the bed, she allowed her body to finally relax even as it became clear that the intruder was not going away.
    “Damn it all to hell,” he said under his breath. “Can the world not leave me alone just for today?! Esther, I swear I shall be back with
