“So is it true? Are you shy? Do you really want to please me?”
It took her several seconds to find her voice. Could she appeal to his better nature? Did he have one? Would he release her if she explained her situation? Deciding to take a chance, she said, “You’re an attractive man…”
“I sense a ‘but’ coming.”
Callie lifted her head again. “I… I had a life on Earth, a home, a family, my studio, and it was all gone within the blink of an eye. If I hadn’t tried to go a different way home, the Adieaens would never have brought me to this universe. I’m sure, as Tuk has pointed out, that it’s an honor to serve you for the night, but please try to understand that I need to get back home.”
His face went positively stony, and she knew then what a big mistake she’d made. Abruptly, he turned away from her and began to pace the room in long purposeful strides. She wished she could tell what he was thinking.
Damn, why did she have to open her big mouth? Maybe she should have dealt with whatever he tossed her way and thought of ways to escape later. She had a feeling things wouldn’t go well for her.
When King Blaze turned to her his eyes flashed green fire. “So you want to go home?”
Callie could only nod. What was the point in lying? Her grave was already dug.
“You do realize that this is now your home don’t you? After all, what does your prior life have to do with me? You belong to me,” he said stalking back over to her. Yanking her by the arms, he hauled her against him, crushing her breasts against his chest.
The minute her nipples touched his skin they grew incredibly hot, and Callie knew then what the gel was for. She didn’t want to respond to him, but her traitorous body had other ideas, especially when he brought his mouth down on hers. It was hungry and seeking.
Stubbornly she kept her lips sealed tight when his tongue tried to push past them. Grabbing a fistful of her hair, Blaze yanked her head back, taking advantage of her slightly parted lips when she gasped. She placed her hands against his chest intending to push him away, but he wouldn’t budge.
His tongue forcefully explored the depths of her mouth, seeking, tasting, and tantalizingly, leaving her breathless. Her hands, balling into fists, gripped his shirt tightly as she opened up to his kiss.
Molten lava flowed through her veins, sending bursts of sensation like she’d never felt before. Her pussy was on fire. The few lovers she’d had before had not prepared her for such delirious pleasure. His hands roamed down her back until they cupped her bottom.
“You’re so perfect,” he whispered, lifting his head and then pressing heated kisses over her face. He kneaded and shaped her rear in his palms, sensuously massaging her heated flesh.
Why did his hands have to feel so good, and why couldn’t she pull away from him? Blaze’s gaze locked with hers making her shiver. She looked away. She knew if she let herself, she could easily become lost in his eyes.
“This is how I imagined you to be. What did they call you on Earth?”
“Callie,” she croaked. Her throat was parched.
“Callie,” he said as though testing it on his tongue. “What does that mean?”
“I’m not sure, but it’s short for Calliope. My parents were going through their Greek Literature stage when I was born.”
“Hmm, I like Calliope. It feels more majestic. Yes, that is what I shall call you.”
He kissed her again. This time it was less urgent, but just as intense. A searing heat shot through her, threatening to incinerate them both. She didn’t realize he’d lifted her off the ground until she found herself on the center of his bed, Blaze’s body covering her. His erection pressed against her, and it felt huge.
“I want to be inside of you, now. I’ve wanted it from the moment I first laid eyes on you. After this, I want no more talk of you going home. Thibius is your home, and you belong to me. You’re mine.”
His possessive words were like a bucket of cold water being thrown on her. Though her body still tingled all over, she was now in full control of her mental capabilities. “No! I don’t belong to anyone but myself.”
Blaze chuckled, throwing back his long blond hair. “That’s where you’re wrong, little Calliope. You belong to me just as surely as the stars belong to the midnight sky.”
“No! This isn’t right. You can’t own people, and you most certainly do not own me.”
His mouth tightened. Anger flared within the depth of his eyes. “You’re mine and I’ll prove it to you. Your body knows that I’m your master. It’s only your stubbornness that prevents you from admitting it.”
