I had been on my way back to Frost’s room when I suddenly felt firm hands clamped around my mouth, an arm snaking around my waist to pull me into an empty side room. My heart raced with momentary panic before I recognized the scent–rich and masculine and unmistakably Kaius.
“Got you,” he whispered in my ear as he kicked the door shut behind us.
“What are you doing?” I demanded when he released my mouth, though I made no move to escape his embrace.
“What does it look like?” His amber eyes gleamed in the dim light filtering through the partially closed curtains.
“It looks like you are kidnapping me; would you let me go?” I tried to sound indignant, but the effect was ruined by the breathlessness in my voice.
“Well, the door is right there.” He nodded toward the exit, his arms loosening slightly around me.
“So you would actually let me go?” I didn’t move, despite the opportunity.
“Only if you could get there faster than me.” The challenge in his voice sent a thrill down my spine.
I took a step toward the door, then another. He remained still, watching me with predatory focus. When I made a sudden dash for the exit, he intercepted me before I’d gone three steps, his movements a blur I could barely track.
“Kaius… that was so fast.” I stared up at him, genuinely startled by his speed.
“Does that scare you?” His voice dropped lower, more intense.
“Yes, it does.” But the fear I felt wasn’t of him–it was of the power he held over me, the way my body responded to his mere
proximity.
“I bet you loved seeing me on my knees, Elowen.” His fingers traced my jawline, tilting my face up to his.
“…I…” The word caught in my throat as his mouth crashed down on mine, hard and sudden. His tongue thrust past my lips, hot and insistent. Before I could even process the kiss, I felt his hand slide decisively under my skirt, fingers finding me slick and ready. He didn’t hesitate, stroking my clit with a confidence that sent jolts straight to my core.
My instinct was to push him away, but his touch… it was devastatingly skillful. A gasp escaped me instead of a protest. Damn him, it
felt too good.
He pulled back just enough to shove his pants down his hips, his erection already thick and hard. Without ceremony, he hitched my skirt up around my waist, turned me forcefully, and pressed me forward until my hands braced against the cool surface of the wall. Positioned behind me, the heat of him pressed against my backside. Then, he plunged into me, deep and rough, burying himself inside me in one powerful movement. He began to fuck me right there against the wall, hard and fast.
Later, as we lay tangled on the floor atop his discarded cloak, I stretched languidly, feeling the pleasant ache unused. “I’m very sore,” I murmured. “You did that on purpose.”
“And you loved it.” His voice held a smugness I couldn’t dispute.
I love when you punish me that way.”

“I didn’t realize how much I missed you. So… What do you say bout returning back to our room?” His expression turned serious, hopeful.
