Kai (A Dark Assassins Novel Book One) by Valerie Ullmer Page A

silver eyes shone with a brightness that reminded her of the sun emerging from the clouds, and they blinded her for a second.   She blinked to break the spell, and looked down at his powerful chest, heaving with deep breaths.  
    Moving with ease, she splayed her hands on the sinewy muscles and leaned forward, licking his damp pectoral, teasing him a little before her tongue flicked his nipple.   She leaned back and blew lightly on the wet, heated skin.   The muscles in his neck corded as he threw his head back and gasped at her motions.   Taking this as a good sign, she repeated with the other, until a near-constant snarl vibrated through his chest, the seductive reverberation traveling through her.
    “You’re going to kill me with your lips alone.”
    Kissing her way down his stomach, she smiled against his skin at his statement.
    “Not before I feel you inside me,” she teased.
    She continued with her exploration, barely aware of his strangled groan, taking the time to caress his hips and run her hands over his powerful thighs and around to his taut buttocks, all while not allowing herself a peek at his erection.   The anticipation of what she had yet to explore, and the examination of every inch of what made Kai, Kai, had set a deep, addictive throbbing inside her core.   She wanted him to find the same pleasure that he promised in his gaze, so when she dropped to her knees, she allowed herself to take his cock in her hand.   Instead of examining it as she would under normal circumstances, her tongue darted out and she had her first taste of his skin.
    Unsure of how to proceed, she went with her instincts and flattened her tongue underneath the base, licking him in one long, fluid motion until she reached his tip.   One last, long lick drew a shout that turned into a low moan as she opened wide and engulfed the head of his cock.   She teased the tip, licking at his essence, before taking the rest deep in her mouth.  
    Over the next several heated minutes, his low growls taught her what motions he enjoyed, and each stroke drew him farther and farther into her mouth.   His hands fisted in her hair and stayed, not demanding or directing, but using her as an anchor.   She found and mentally recorded each and every instance she drew a groan from deep in his throat, or when his body couldn’t contain his pleasure and jerked against her mouth.   His skin scorched her tongue, but it was his salty essence that drove her movements.
    Sensing that he was close to the precipice of release, she increased the pressure and flicked her tongue over the head, until a roar reverberated in her ears and his warm saltiness hit the back of her throat.
    Each taste of him heightened the pleasure that shot straight to her core, and with a moan, she pressed her legs together and experienced her first-ever orgasm without skin-on-skin stimulation.   With one last pull, making sure she had tasted all of him, she released him and slid onto the floor.   She continued down until she lay on her back, completely spent.
    “Reality is so much better,” she mumbled, closing her eyes.
    Her body continued to twitch as she came down from a high she never thought she would experience.   She sensed as Kai walked toward her.   As his shadow loomed over her, a smile bloomed on her lips as she became giddy from being able to pleasure him.   When she opened her eyes, her smile faltered as a fierce look marred his features.
    “What?   Did I do it wrong?”
    A loud groan escaped his throat.   She watched him as he drew a hand over his face, as if he were trying to find the words to tell her that she’d disappointed him.
    Despite the hum that rumbled through her body, she scrambled to her feet and searched for her clothes with a sudden need to escape.   Her jeans were ruined, but she picked up his borrowed shirt and came close to sliding it on, when his hands slid underneath her ass and lifted her without much effort.   Her legs naturally
