Chapter 143: The Eyes of a Beast
Resolute, Lorelai reached for the hem of her dress. Just as her fingers curled around the fabric, his deep, commanding voice stopped her.
"Are you going to take off your dress?" he asked, his tone laced with a dark, teasing edge. Even blindfolded, he seemed to know her every move. "Do it slowly. Start with the upper part for now... and then bring your breasts to my face."
Her breath hitched, but she found herself complying, her hands trembling slightly as she loosened the delicate ribbons of the soft corset holding her gown in place. She eased the fabric down, revealing her bare chest to the cool cave air.
The sensation sent a shiver coursing through her, and she felt her nipples harden in response to the chill—and to his unseen gaze. Rising onto her toes, she cupped her breasts in her hands, hesitating only briefly before lifting them toward him. Embarrassment burned in her cheeks as she touched her own flesh this way, but the hunger in his voice and the heat of his presence spurred her on.
His head dipped forward, the blindfold unable to mask the primal intensity emanating from him. His warm breath fanned her neck, and then his lips brushed her skin. A soft gasp escaped her as he licked a slow, deliberate trail down to her chest.
When his mouth finally latched onto her nipple, the sharp sensation nearly overwhelmed her. His lips suckled greedily, his sharp teeth grazing her tender skin with just enough pressure to edge into pain. A startled moan escaped her lips, the sound echoing faintly in the otherwise silent cave.
The wet, noisy rhythm of his mouth filled the air, every flick of his tongue igniting a fire deep within her. Her body responded instinctively, heat pooling low in her belly. Despite his shackles, he had complete control over her, his touch and presence unraveling her completely.
When he finally pulled away, his lips glistening, Rhaegar grinned wolfishly. He licked his lips, as though savoring her taste, and his voice dipped even lower, almost a growl.
"How about we move to the lower part now?"
