Once Upon a Fiery Christmas (Return to Avalore Book 3) by Elianne Adams Page A

breath blew against her through the lace of her underwear.
    Her heart pounded, and she fisted her hands in the sheets to keep from squirming. With one long, slow stroke, he licked her, and she couldn’t keep from crying out as her hips lifted off the bed.
    He nuzzled her inner thigh, then licked again. “So damned delicious.” He pushed the fabric covering her aside, then using his thumbs, held her open. His half-lidded gaze seared her already burning flesh. “So damned beautiful.”
    “Sebastian, please,” she panted.
    Looking up into her eyes, he brought his mouth down again, licking her all the way to her clit, before circling it, then sucking it into his mouth. Searing heat rushed through her, pulsing deep and long, expanding with each pull of his mouth on her clit. “I can’t, Sebastian, it’s too much.” She shook her head from side to side, trying desperately to keep from flying apart—to keep her phoenix leashed. Pale yellow flames sizzled across her skin, and Sebastian growled, warning her against it. The vibration on her clit was more than she could handle. With a long cry, her entire body tensed, then shattered.
    Sebastian moaned against her, lapping at her still quivering flesh, stoking the fire again even before it had snuffed out. “Goddess above, Chantelle, that was the most glorious thing I have ever seen.”
    Chantelle fought to come back to him, her mind and body lost in an intense wave of pleasure. “Now I want to taste you.”
    Sebastian raised himself to his knees, and lowered his jeans. “There will be plenty of time for that, sweetheart. Right now, I have to be with you. Inside you.”
    When he climbed over her again, his hard cock poised at her entrance, she could only nod. His weight on his elbows, he gazed into her eyes, as he gave her a long, slow kiss. Her taste was still on his lips as she licked them. He pressed into her, one inch at a time, the fire burning in his eyes leaping each time he pushed his cock deeper. Once he was fully seated, he moaned. Instinct took over and she turned her head, exposing her neck.
    “You can’t tempt me like that. I’m barely hanging on.” Sebastian rocked his hips, stroking her clit with his pelvis.
    Her eyes flew open. “I can’t help it. She wants you, too.”
    He pulled back, then thrust deep again, making them both shudder “She’ll wait.”
    Sebastian nipped at the pink spot at the base of her neck, sending small spasms coursing through her. He set a slow pace, filling her with every stroke until she couldn’t catch her breath and her fingers dug into his skin. The weight of his body on her grounded her. She was fast spiraling out of control, but she wanted him with her when she climaxed this time. She wrapped her legs around him, and when he thrust into her again, she met him halfway.
    He pressed his mouth to her neck, nipping a little harder as they did it again. Thrusts came faster and harder, until she couldn’t stop the whimpers slipping past her lips. She dug her nails into his back as he pounded into her. Waves of pulsing heat flooded her and she couldn’t hold on. She cried out his name as she climaxed, squeezing and releasing around his cock until he cried out and finally came with her.

Chapter 12
    Chantelle smiled at Rhia while Katie blotted at the dampness of her eyes again. “You’re going to have red eyes for my joining ceremony if you don’t stop. No amount of healing is going to take that puffiness away. Now stop crying and help me get ready.” Even as she chastised her friend, she was gathering her in her arms, sending warmth and love into her.
    “I can’t help it, I’m just so happy for the two of you. It’s not every day that one of your best friends joins her mate.” Katie sniffed. “Just promise me you’ll pry yourself away from that man every once in a while to see me, okay?”
    “Is that what this is about?” Chantelle hugged her close. “You know I could never stay away from you.”
    “I know.
