threatened to give out. She stayed upright by will alone. Her throat constricted with alarm. “I don’t like this game anymore.”
His mouth caressed her ear even as his soapy hands swept across her belly. “It stopped being a game when I registered you and no one argued the claim, making you legally mine to collect.”
Blood and Fate! Her knuckles whitened on the rail. “Sobehk, you can’t make me your pet! ”
“I already have.” He pressed the rigid lengths of his erections against her spine and her butt. His soft groan caressed her ear, creating shivers. “You’re already showing signs of impression.”
Fallon shook her head as foam dripped down her body. Impression? What in burning fury was that?
He brought his soapy hands up and cupped her breasts. “Relax, kitten.” He kneaded and caressed the warm softness in his broad palms. “I’ll take very good care of you.” He tugged the peaks of her nipples to rigid tautness with his strong fingers. “No more living in sewers.”
Arousal scorched through her in a torrential wave of damp heat. Fallon felt her breath violently rush from her lungs. A small sound escaped her lips. He was doing it again, making her boil with need, and so easily. She was not used to getting excited so quickly; but then, she was not used to being completely in someone else’s power, either.
“It’s done, it’s over. Just let go, kitten,” he whispered. He slowly rubbed both of his hot, rigid erections along the damp seam of her butt.
She found herself leaning back into him. She couldn’t stop herself anymore than she could stop the ache between her thighs. She took a deep breath to gain control and caught a nose full of his scent. She could smell the rich musk of his arousal even over the soap. A small, helpless sound came from her throat.
“That’s it ...” His hand slid sensuously over her belly, drawing tremors along the path of his fingers. “Don’t try to resist.” One hand slid up to cup her breast as the fingers of the other dipped lower, seeking the juncture of her thighs. “There’s no need to resist.”
Her body clenched in eagerness. She couldn’t stop her legs from parting in invitation.
He squeezed her breast and a soft groan came from his throat. “I have you.” The fingers of his other hand delved among the folds of her intimate flesh, exploring the damp softness with inciting skill. “Body and soul ...” His fingers trapped her nipple and slid across her clit at the same time.
Fire, heat, urgency ... She gasped, arching back against him, and bucked against his palm, so close to the edge of orgasm a breath more would take her over.
He chuckled. The sound held pure masculine triumph. “And you want me to have you.” He pulled his hands away and stepped back.
Fallon shook hard with both fear of what was to come and raw carnal frustration. She set her forehead against the slick glass wall and fought against the lust howling in her body. Bastard ...
He reached up and shut off the water. “You’re clean. It’s time.”
Fallon felt her heart slam in her throat. He was going to put a collar on her throat and take control of her body. Blood and Fate ... Sudden panic engulfed her. Her voice escaped in a tight whisper. “I wanna go home.”
He grabbed the hair at the nape of her neck and jerked her head back. He stared hard and unyielding into her wide eyes. “You are home.” His mouth took hers in a devouring and possessive kiss.
She moaned under his hungry assault, unable to release the rail and not all that sure she wanted to release his mouth. Pain crushed her heart in a tight fist of inexplicable and undefined emotion. A sudden sob exploded from her chest and tears abruptly fell from her eyes. She ripped her mouth away from his in mortified dismay. She was crying?
Sobehk caught her face in his palms. “There, that’s what I was waiting for.”
Fallon stared up at him in confusion.
“Let go of the rail, kitten.”
