“You look the same as you did twenty years ago,”
she spoke softly, interrupting him, staring pensively over his
shoulder. “Elves…they really exist. And they don’t age. At least
not the way humans do, huh?”
“Da, not the way humans do.” Nikolai moved closer, cupping her
face in his hand, stroking his thumb over the curve of her
bottom lip. Threading his hand through her golden brown curls,
he stared down into her eyes, absorbing the feel of her skin,
the scent of her. “So pretty, so soft. Been wanting you, I have,
for several years. How long will you stay angry with me?” His
lids drooped, lashes hanging low over his eyes, as he studied
her mouth. His other hand, big and warm, came up to rest on the
curve of her hip.
Chelly’s eyes widened. Her mouth was dry. Other parts were…not.
She could feel the hard swell of his cock against her belly,
throbbing and pulsing. A deep, aching need opened inside her as
her heart started racing a mile a minute, and her nerve endings
began sizzling. Blankly, she said the one thing that came to
mind. “Are there elves in Russia?”
“Hmmm. Elves, elf-kin and elf-mate as well.” He cocked his head
as he responded and a ribbon of hair fell over one muscled
shoulder, thick, black and shining. His eyes moved from her
mouth down the line of her neck to focus on the movement of her
chest as she sucked a breath in and tried to remember how to
breathe again.
Chelly followed the gleaming lock of hair as it curled over his
chest, her mouth watering. The rippling muscles of his belly
almost vibrated and as she stared at him, a hungry growl rumbled
out of his chest.
Slowly, unable to keep from touching him as he moved closer,
nudging her belly with his sex, she rested her hands on the rock
hard, warm wall of his chest, flexing her fingers against the
smooth skin there and smiling a cat’s smile as a shudder
vibrated through him. Hypnotized, her eyes slid further
downward, staring at the bulging swell of his sex under the blue
fabric of his jeans.
Jeans? “Elves wear jeans?”
“Would you prefer pointy shoes with bells?” he asked blandly.
