Celia's Claiming
Celia’s Claiming
Celia stretched, entwined her fingers in the wild vines
above her head and gazed at the swamp. Each minute movement released sinuous
energy, returning her body to its former supple grace. She slid her hands along
her curves, relishing the feel of her own skin, renewed life. The moment his
gaze landed on her, his life force zinged straight to her core.
She turned and glided toward him, darkness disguising
her features just long enough. Every
nuance, color, and movement vibrated in stark contrast.
“Better?” She spoke softly, moved slowly, fighting
primal instincts, her heart lunging against her chest to get on with it.
He leveraged his back against the stone wall and stood, gray
eyes slits, the light inside him a beacon.
Her stomach clenched, the need to touch his dark hair
unfamiliar.
He towered over her, regaining his strength quickly, as
she knew he would.
She took an audible breath, closed her eyes, and pressed
her soft curves against him, her body starving for more – long overdue.
“Who? What…
are you?” His deep voice accused, eviscerating illusions of rightness, the swamp's call shredding her heart.
She heard her own voice echo through him, her long
lashes brushing his chest as she glanced up.
“I wish…” She
stopped, nearly doubling over in pain, then blinked, moisture dimming her
vision.
”Your decision, Sir?”
