Moving with a dark, agonizingly slow deliberation, Dorian shifted his imposing weight to her left side, his hot, demanding mouth trailing a path of liquid fire straight down to the highly sensitive curve of her bare waist.
He pressed a series of wet, searing kisses against her shivering skin before his sharp teeth intentionally grazed her flesh, biting down just hard enough to break the fragile surface and draw a tiny, crimson bead of blood, instantly eliciting a soft, breathless gasp of 'Ah... ah!' from her desperately parted lips.
Instantly soothing the beautiful, stinging ache, his warm tongue deliberately licked over the tender wound, completely tasting her intoxicating essence as a wickedly possessive hum vibrated deep within his broad chest.
With effortless, absolutely overwhelming strength, he grasped her delicate waist and forcefully pulled her completely onto her side, shifting his massive, six-foot-five frame so that just one of his heavy, muscular legs effortlessly hooked and completely trapped both of her thrashing legs beneath him, effectively paralyzing her lower half and leaving her utterly at his mercy.
Slowly and beautifully, his scorching kisses worked their way back up her trembling body until his handsome face was hovering just inches above the pale, vulnerable column of her neck.
He reached out, his warm, calloused fingers gently sweeping her damp, tangled hair over her opposite shoulder to fully expose her delicate skin, before he buried his face in the crook of her neck, pressing incredibly deep, branding kisses directly over her wildly fluttering pulse.
At the exact same breathtaking moment, his large, powerful hand moved to firmly grip the soft curve of her chest, squeezing with such an intense, overwhelming, and beautifully ruthless pressure that the chaotic, suffocating mixture of sharp pain and blinding pleasure forced a single, crystalline tear to slip silently from the corner of her tightly shut eyes.
As the heavy, heavily intoxicating seconds agonizingly ticked by, Dorian's iron grip on her fiercely trembling form only grew tighter and far more possessive.
Without a single word of warning, he firmly grabbed her waist and forcefully pulled her upward into a seated position on the plush mattress.
Because her delicate wrists were still tightly bound to the heavy wooden headboard behind her, the abrupt, powerful movement violently stretched her arms backward, forcing her spine to arch beautifully and leaving her front entirely, breathtakingly exposed to his ravenous, all-consuming gaze.
His incredibly warm hands slowly and deliberately roamed over every single inch of her flushed, desperate body, intensely feeling and memorizing every magnificent curve and dip as if she were the most precious, sacred treasure in the entire universe.
Completely surrendering to the raw, untamed hunger fiercely blazing within him, Dorian effortlessly lifted her bare thighs, resting them securely over his broad, heavily sculpted shoulders to completely open her up to the relentless, fiery core of his storm.
As her delicate legs naturally tangled themselves helplessly against his powerful back, he pulled her impossibly, dangerously close, entirely eliminating the last microscopic fraction of space between them as he leaned in to press a searing, overwhelmingly intimate kiss against her trembling flesh, ensuring she would absolutely never forget the devastating, magnificent reality of his absolute dominance.
Suddenly, Dorian gently lowered her trembling thighs, releasing his overwhelming, possessive hold as he collapsed onto the plush mattress right beside her.
Isla was entirely, beautifully breathless. Her chest heaved violently.
'Hhh... hhh...' she panted heavily, her parted lips desperate to pull oxygen back into her burning lungs as she lay tethered to the headboard, absolutely exhausted from the chaotic, magnificent storm.
But the fleeting, deceptive moment of rest was over in a mere heartbeat.
With a sudden, magnificent surge of raw energy, Dorian abruptly sat right back up. Without even bothering to untie the heavy silk laces that still securely held her delicate wrists captive, he reached out and effortlessly pulled her trembling, flushed frame upward.
He shifted her completely, settling her directly onto his heavy, muscular lap.
Isla gasped sharply at the sudden, overwhelming proximity, her bound arms forced to stretch beautifully above them as she was pressed flawlessly against his burning chest.
His dark eyes blazed with a fierce, entirely unrelenting hunger.
His large, incredibly warm hands immediately began a feverish, possessive exploration, desperately mapping every single inch of her skin.
He moved with a breathtaking, terrifyingly beautiful urgency.
His hands roamed deliberately over the soft swells of her chest, trailing down to grip the delicate dip of her waist.
He slid his calloused palms lower, firmly pressing and kneading against the sensitive curve of her hips and the soft, bare skin of her thighs.
He touched, claimed, and fiercely worshipped every single tiny fraction of her exposed form, delivering a relentless, physical demand that completely shattered her fragile mind and left her trembling body entirely, hopelessly surrendered to his absolute dominance.
With a fluid, sudden motion, Dorian shifted her so they were directly facing each other.
Their bare chests pressed perfectly together, and despite the breathless, chaotic intensity of the moment, a beautiful, utterly reckless smile instantly blossomed on both of their flushed faces.
Without wasting a single precious heartbeat, Dorian aggressively captured her mouth once again.
He relentlessly kissed, nipped, and soothingly tasted her swollen lips, his large hands firmly cupping the back of her head to keep her incredibly close to his demanding heat.
Completely overwhelmed by the suffocating, addictive storm of his affection, Isla desperately tried to pull back just a tiny fraction of an inch, frantically trying to drag some much-needed oxygen back into her burning lungs.
Sensing her slight retreat, Dorian immediately grabbed her bare thighs, forcefully pulling her even closer against his heavy, muscular frame.
The sudden, violent shift in tension was simply too much for her makeshift restraints to handle.
*Snap!*
The heavy silk lace binding her delicate wrists to the headboard violently gave way, tearing completely in half.
Freed from her tether, Isla instantly tumbled backward, falling flat against the plush mattress.
Dorian immediately followed her down, seamlessly settling his heavy, comforting weight directly over her trembling body without ever breaking their breathless, fiery kiss.
Now that her hands were entirely free, Isla fiercely tangled her delicate fingers deep into his dark hair, desperately holding his face exactly where she wanted it.
She securely wrapped her bare legs around his narrow waist, trapping him against her with a beautiful, magnificent burst of strength.
'See? I have absolute, undeniable strength too,' she panted breathlessly against his bruised lips, her brilliant blue eyes flashing with a daring, triumphant fire.
'I am absolutely not a weak little child.'
A low, incredibly dark and highly amused chuckle vibrated deep within Dorian's broad chest.
'That is perfectly, undeniably clear to me now,' he murmured, his eyes blazing with pure adoration.
As the beautiful, chaotic storm of their passion relentlessly raged on, Isla's trembling hands gripped his broad shoulders fiercely.
She clung to him with absolute desperation, her manicured nails inadvertently leaving long, stinging scratches down his heavily muscled back as she completely, beautifully surrendered to the magnificent heat between them.
'It truly seems I have finally found my absolute equal in this universe,' Dorian whispered huskily, his voice thick with raw devotion.
He lowered his handsome head, returning to fiercely and tenderly worship the soft, highly sensitive curves of her chest and her flushed collarbones with searing kisses.
Meanwhile, Isla lovingly wrapped her arms around him, pressing soft, incredibly devoted kisses directly into his dark hair, both of them remaining entirely, hopelessly lost in the beautiful, breathtaking oblivion of their fierce love.
