Deserted (Shadow Beast Shifters Book 4)

It took me a few seconds to realize that Reece had frozen at the answer to his question. His fingers were still buried inside me, his naked chest still pressed to me as his other hand pulled me close, but the rest of him was still. Not to mention the full dilation of his pupils in those wide eyes. ‘Never?’ he breathed harshly.

‘I was a robot, Reece,’ I got out, just as breathless, thanks to an impending orgasm. ‘I refused to feel or want for anything except my duty as a warrior. With the power I controlled, letting myself feel all the pain would have been disastrous.’

His shock was fading as a spark of satisfaction burned through his expression. Without moving his fingers from inside me, he used his other hand to lift me in the buoyant water and move me onto his lap. I ended up straddling his thighs, leaning back just enough so that he could continue thrusting his fingers inside me. ‘You have always belonged to me, Lale,” he murmured, shaking his head.

I groaned. ‘Don’t get too cocky. I’m awakened now, and I won’t be a robot ever again.’

The growl deep in his chest caught my attention, and he went from shocked to possessive to pissed in a mere second. ‘You are mine until I say so,” he said as that growl deepened, “We made a deal, and you can’t back out of it.’

‘Until—’ I tried to catch my breath. ‘Until we leave the Desert Lands.’

The swirls in my stomach moved faster, desire slamming into me as I got closer. My fingers had been digging into his shoulder for leverage, but wanting him to feel what I was, I slid them lower and wrapped them around the hot shaft that was between us.

‘It’ll be well beyond the deserts,’ Reece finally murmured, but I couldn’t focus on his words with those damn fingers destroying me, gliding deep inside as my muscles contracted around him. Leaning forward, instinct took over as I tightened my grasp on his cock, fingers managing to get about halfway around his thick shaft.

Reece jerked against me with a groan. ‘Lale, fuck. You have a firm grip.’

I was strong, and worried I might hurt him, I was about to loosen my hold when he groaned again. ‘Don’t stop… I like it.’

Well, okay then. Stroking him, it was a balance between giving Reece pleasure and not coming myself. A balance that was failing as I felt the tremble in my thighs. Denying my orgasm had it building up to the sort of intense release that might just kill us both.

Reece leaned forward. ‘I need to taste you,’ he murmured against my lips, and I could tell he meant more than just a kiss.

‘Only if I can reciprocate,’ I replied, desperate to know what he tasted like.

His fingers eased from me, and I tried not to whimper as he stood, lifting me at the same time. As the warm waters fell away, leaving not a trace of moisture on our skin, I wished we could stay here in their powerful and soothing embrace.

Reece noticed my disappointment. ‘I can’t control these sands,’ he told me. ‘So, if we want to breathe, we need to do this on land.’

Fair point and thank the fucking gods he was already striding through the shallow waters, powerful thighs eating up the distance until we were soon on the loose silver sand. Here, he slowed and lowered me to my back; the silver surrounded me as hot and soothing as the water had been.

Even better, it didn’t get all over our skin and between us. It just stayed in its current position, cushioning my body, letting us enjoy all the naked skin on display. Reece leaned over the top of me, mouth wrapping around my right nipple. Lacing my fingers behind his head, I held on until he was done.

As he lifted his head, hooded eyes met mine. ‘I want to know everything that gets you off,” he rasped. “I want us to figure it out together.’

Yes. Yep. Yeah. Totally. I could agree to that. ‘Better hurry up,’ I managed to say. “We’ll be in the Delfora soon.”

That hooded gaze did not ease. ‘Challenge accepted,’ he finally murmured.

Before I could take another breath, he reversed our positions, rolling me so that I was on top, and he was now sprawled out in the silver. ‘What do you want to do now, Lale?’ he asked in his husky drawl. ‘Tell me exactly what you want.’

I swallowed roughly. ‘I want to give you pleasure.’

His laughter was dark and seductive, the sound curling around me. ‘I want you to tell me what you want from me. In detail. Do you want my tongue in your pussy? Would you like to fuck my mouth? How many orgasms?’

It was my turn to stare at him like a stunned lunatic because it almost sounded like Reece was giving up control… to me?

‘Limited time offer,’ he added, sensing my shock.

His hands were on my hips as I straddled him, his firm hold biting into my skin. ‘I want to taste you while you taste me,’ I told him, needing a release soon.

He lifted me higher to spin me around so I was now facing his erection. ‘Back up, Lale,’ he said, voice strained.

Reaching out for the heavy cock lying halfway up his stomach, I held onto it while wiggling myself backward until my ass was in his face. As I did, his hard length jerked against my hold, precum beading on the end. With more confidence, I kept moving, and as I settled my knees into the sands on either side of his head, his tongue slid across my aching pussy, lapping up the moisture there. I rocked into him and groaned, ‘More.’

Reece returned that with a groan of his own before he wrapped his arms around my thighs and pulled me right onto his mouth. ‘Tell me what you want,’ he demanded, breath hot on my quivering flesh. “In detail.”

At this point I was desperate. I’d been close to an orgasm too many times, and I needed the final release. ‘I want to ride your face,’ I got out. ‘I want you to fuck me with your mouth and tongue.’

His mouth was on me so fast that I almost jumped. As he lifted me to change my angle, he slid his tongue across my ass and down into my pussy, sucking all of my pleasure into his mouth. His cock jerked again in my hand, and he was harder than ever as I leaned down his body, needing to know what he tasted like.

My head spun as my body trembled. It was difficult to focus on his cock with his tongue destroying me while his fingers slid into my entrance. I cried out as I wrapped my lips around the head of his cock and a hot, salty power exploded in my mouth. Reece tasted like life and energy, and I marveled at the low groan he let out when I sucked and caressed him.

His grip on me tightened, and as he continued to pump two fingers into me, I rocked against him, which also rocked his length into my mouth. He was too big for me to take much more than a few inches, so I used my hand as well, the movements jagged thanks to the dozens of sensations hitting me at once.

The tight curl of pleasure swelled until it couldn’t be contained, and I let out a low scream as I came, my body jerking hard and fast. Reece did not ease up, sucking my clit into his mouth and swirling his tongue across it with enough force that I came again instantly and almost as violently as the first time.

As I shook, his dick popped out of my mouth, but I was too far gone to find it again as I rode out the full orgasm. It took a long time for me to breathe and think again as my body all but collapsed on top of his. For a second, I relaxed into his heat, right until he was teasing my clit again, and I realized I’d fallen behind on giving pleasure as well as receiving it.

Able to focus a touch more, I leaned forward and wrapped my hand and mouth around him again, working this time to relax my jaw and take in even more of his length. I had no experience in giving head, but I was a quick learner, focusing on the actions that made him groan the most—a great plan until he was, once again, working my lower half into a frenzy, both hands wrapped around my thighs as he parted my folds to swipe his tongue full length, over and over.

He groaned when I focused on his knob, rolling my tongue across the slit at the tip, his taste filling my mouth. ‘Lale, fuck,’ he said, and the sound of his raspy voice was enough to spur me on, filling me with determination to give him pleasure. Relaxing my jaw, I managed to take another inch, and just when I had a good rhythm going, my body rocking against his mouth while I took him into mine, Reece tightened his grip on my inner thighs and pushed his finger inside, coating it in my pleasure. Almost immediately he removed it, and just as I wondered why, I felt his touch slide a little higher than before.

Now, as I’d told Mera, many of the beings in the Solaris System had a similar anatomy to shifters and humans as all of us had been created from a single source. Most of those beings found pleasures in multiple parts of their bodies, but it’d never occurred to me that I would.

When Reece’s fingers, lubricated in my arousal, slid across my ass, pressing into the entrance, I paused. ‘What are you doing?’ I rasped, my voice a husky mess after those screaming orgasms.

‘Figuring out what you like,’ he murmured, his mouth still working my vagina while his fingers were exploring wherever the hell they wanted, apparently.

‘Uh, I’m not sure—’ He pushed one finger inside me, slowly, and holy mother of the moons.

I was rocking before I even registered it while his tongue worked my clit, and the speed of another impending release shocked the fuck out of me. As his finger moved slowly in and out, the muscles there loosened, allowing him to slide further inside, stimulating a ton of nerve endings in a way I’d never experienced. It was a different pleasure stemming from a part of myself I’d never explored, and as I arched further into his touch, I realized that this arrogant bastard might know exactly what I liked.

‘Reece,’ I choked out, moving against him, needing more as I chased the pleasures unfurling. This was going to be a total release, and I might finally understand human’s fascination with ass play.

Unable to do more than hold on and enjoy the ride, I gripped the side of his stomach, nails digging in as his finger moved faster in time with the strokes of his tongue on my clit. The orgasm this time exploded from deeper than I’d ever felt, and I might have passed out for a few seconds because the next thing I knew, Reece was flipping our position, that hard length I’d tasted only minutes before slamming inside of me in one swift move.

As he stared down at me, lips full and glistening, he groaned. “You’re the most dangerous creature in the worlds,” he said as he lifted his body to slam his cock into me again, a heavy thrust that should have sent us up the sand. Only this was no ordinary sand; it held us in place, adding force to his strokes.

I’d already come three times in quick succession, and in theory it should take longer for another. But as Reece leaned over, kissing me—I could taste myself on his lips—I found the buildup already growing. ‘I’m going to come again,’ I cried, slightly frustrated at not being able to drag it out a little bit longer. ‘Do you have to be amazing at everything?’

‘Yes,’ he shot back, lips quirking into a teasing smile, even as his body destroyed mine with the powerful strokes. ‘You’ve spent years denying your passions, and now your body is taking advantage. You should listen to it.’

‘Oh— I’m— I’m listening.’

The speed of his thrusts increased, and as his length buried deeper each time, I dug my nails into his skin. When he lowered his mouth to my nipples, my hands fell to the side, clawing into the sand to find the traction I needed. Silver energy rose to join the strength of Reece’s and mine, imbuing us with the power of the ancients.

As I had that thought, my body lifting to meet each thrust and Reece reached down to slide a finger across my clit. My energy expanded while darkness danced across my vision, the release flowing through me in sharp, jerking motions that had me crying out and holding onto the sand like my life depended on it.

Reece’s roar joined in with my cries, and I felt the swell of his cock and power, his thrusts jagged as he rode out the end of his orgasm. ‘Damn,’ he whispered against my neck. ‘The power of the grotto is not to be underestimated.’

Truer words had never been spoken, only it wasn’t the grotto that one should never underestimate.

It was Reece.
