Highest Bidder: 1 (Mercy) Read online

  Naya pulled in a shaky breath. Gods, what had she been thinking, starting this game? She was going to die of exquisite pleasure before he even made it to—

  “Your stomach was next, if I remember correctly?”

  His deep murmur played with her senses, but before she could croak out a confirmation, his teeth were nipping a lazy line over her rib cage, her abdomen, coming to rest at the shallow dent of her bellybutton.

  He spent a long moment there, placing tiny kisses around its circumference, dipping into the hollow with his tongue, blowing a cool breath on her kiss-dampened skin.

  Naya whimpered, squirmed beneath him. She felt on fire. Dreylan’s mouth was setting her alight. She wanted to tell him to stop, to keep going, but the words stayed locked in her throat, trapped by the wave of rapture rolling over her. All she could manage was another inarticulate moan.

  Oh gods…

  Dreylan lifted his head, as if hearing her desperate plea. The grin still played with his lips, but his eyes burned with undeniable passion. “Remind me again, Naya? What I am to do?”

  Naya swallowed. “Lick my pussy.”

  His tongue slid along the swollen lips of her sex before flicking at the soft hood hiding her clitoris. “Like that?” he asked, studying her face over the length of her body.

  Naya swallowed again. Or at least tried to. Her throat seemed made from dust.

  He lowered his head to the junction of her thighs again and traced the softness of her labia with his tongue, delving a little deeper into her sex to find her clit. He rolled his tongue over its shape and Naya gasped. Liquid heat began to pool in the pit of her belly; the soles of her feet were tingling. She caught her bottom lip with her teeth, knowing she was close to coming. “Oh gods!”

  Dreylan chuckled against her sodden cunt, nipping on her clit with his teeth before lifting his head and sliding back up her body to knot his fingers in her hair and gaze deeply into her eyes. “What happens next in your dream, Naya? What does your dream lover do after he’s licked your pussy?”

  Body thrumming, heart pounding, Naya returned his loving gaze. “He brings me to a screaming orgasm.”

  Dreylan’s grin was wicked. “Done,” he said.

  And with one powerful stroke, he showed her what dreams are made of.
