Diana watched carefully as Cole
Hunter rummaged through his father’s things, looking for anything she could
recognize. She made a note of some ancient Egyptian gold, extraordinary works
of art, even Pompeian pottery. Cole’s father really knew what to treasure.
Then she saw it—an opalescent
amulet. Her amulet, one she’d lost centuries ago in a battle that would’ve
claimed her life had it not been for assistance from the goddess Minerva. It
was that very day she agreed to be the huntress for Jupiter. She was his
contract killer, hunting all of those who meant harm to the pantheon. She’d
fulfilled her duties mercilessly ever since.
It had been ages since she’d last
seen the exquisite piece of jewelry—a gift from Venus that allowed her to teleport
safely back to her own realm. She’d developed the ability to transport on her
own since the loss of the necklace, but she never forgot the power the center
stone held. If Cole figured out how to use the amulet, he’d gain firsthand
knowledge of the pantheon. It was no wonder Jupiter wanted Cole dead. The very
thought was frightening. “This is a lovely piece, Cole,” she said, touching the
amulet.
“Yes, it’s my personal favorite. It
was said to have belonged to a goddess,” he said, brushing over her hand.
She pulled away quickly and braced
herself against the desk. “You believe in the gods?”
“We’d be ignorant to believe that
humans are the only creatures to exist,” he admitted.
“You speak as though you know their
existence as fact instead of mere speculation.”
He inched closer. She felt the heat
of his body, smelled the spice of alcohol on his breath. “I know for a fact that
a goddess stands before me,” he said.
Her eyes widened at his words. How
could he know? “What do you mean?” she asked. She had to know for sure.
“I’ve never met anyone like you,
Diana. I know we don’t know each other, and this might sound insane, but I’ve
enjoyed being with you more in these few hours than I have with anyone in
years. Trust me, I know how crazy it sounds, but it’s saying a lot. I don’t let
anyone get close,” he said.
She knew the feeling. Before she
registered what was happening, Cole closed the space between them. He caressed
her face with the palms of both hands and crushed his lips against hers. It was
wrong, forbidden, but she couldn’t stop. Gods help her, she didn’t want to
stop.
He deepened his kiss and his tongue
breached her lips, dancing with hers. She loved the masculine taste of him, and
had no idea what was happening, but she couldn’t get enough. Her hands found
his shirt and she broke away from his lips long enough to remove the garment.
The man was a work of art with a body to die for. The luscious expanse of his
chest and chiseled abdomen caused her to ache terribly and grow moist between
her legs. She wanted him. No, she needed him. And for once in her life, she was
going to indulge in all of the pleasures she’d been denied her entire
existence.
****
Cole couldn’t do this in his
father’s study. He wouldn’t cheapen the experience with Diana by taking her like
the other girls he’d bedded. This time, it was going to be different. Because
this time, it felt different.
He carried her to the bedroom and
placed her gently on her feet. Next, he lifted Diana’s shirt over her head and unzipped
her pants, leaving her in a white satin bra and panties. He divested himself of
what remained of his clothing and stood naked before her. Never had he felt the
maddening need to be with a woman so badly. At the moment, he was convinced
that if he wasn’t inside Diana soon, he’d surely die. He jerked her tight
against him and reached around to unhook her bra, allowing it to fall to the
floor.
He swallowed hard at the sight of
her before him. Her dark brown eyes were warm and inviting. Bountiful breasts
gave way to the sexiest hourglass figure he’d ever seen. She looked divine with
the way her auburn hair draped over her shoulders, cascading over pink nipples.
Then a fantasy came to mind that he dared to request.
He reached into his pocket and
removed the amulet. “I would love for you to wear this. Only this,” he said as
he displayed the necklace in his hand.
She arched a brow then smiled. “I’d
be honored. Are you sure? It seems so delicate and—”
“Fit for a goddess,” he
interrupted.
“Which would be ridiculous
considering I’m far from one,” she said, caressing the jewel.
“I can’t think of anyone else who
could do it justice.”
Diana turned around, her back
facing Cole. She lifted her hair as he fastened the clasp of the chain then faced
him. “It’s perfect,” he said.
He led her to the king-sized bed,
neatly dressed in dark blue linens, and laid her down atop the mattress. At the
edge of the bed, he dropped to one knee and pressed his lips to the soft top of
her foot. Next, he traveled upward to her calf and worked his way to her knee,
dragged his tongue over the creamy smooth skin of her thigh until arriving at
her hip. Feelings of uncertainty swept through his mind, as he lingered over
her white satin panties—the only piece of clothing that remained between them.
After several seconds of internal
debate, Cole glided his fingers beneath her waistband and slowly pulled the
satin material downward. In a swift move, Diana placed her hand over his.
“Cole...I…,” she sighed.
He paused and met her gaze.
"Diana, would it matter to you that I'd give my life just for the chance
to make love to you, right now?"
She released his hand, a sign he
took as silent permission. He pulled the garment over her knees, to her ankles
then threw it to the floor. “You are so beautiful,” he said, sliding his hands
up her legs.
He crawled up her body and found
her mouth. His lips skated over hers. He loved the way she lingered on his
lower lip, nibbling for just a few seconds longer. Gods, Diana could kiss. No
complaints would be voiced if he could kiss her forever, uninterrupted.
Despite the fact he wanted to
remain in a permanent lip lock with the goddess, there were other flavors he wanted
to sample. He descended her body and found her breasts. Lingering over them for
a moment he leaned close and suckled the taut peak of left nipple. Careful to
give each one equal attention, he moved to the right, and earned a sharp breath
through clenched teeth from Diana. Oh yeah, she liked it. And he was just getting
started.
Soft moans escaped her lips as Cole
grazed his tongue over the soft flesh of her abdomen. A tender kiss delivered
to her stomach and her hand found his hair with a gentle grip. The sound of her
breath quickened as he continued downward over her navel to the light trace of
hair covering the delicate folds he longed to explore. He pressed his mouth to
the crease of her sex and parted the flesh with his tongue, seeking a more
intimate taste of Diana.
Pleasure-filled cries pierced his
ears as she writhed in ecstasy. The woman tasted unlike any other he’d ever experienced.
Incredible. Gods he couldn’t get enough as she increased pressure against his
head, urging him on.
****
Inexplicable desires possessed her
thoughts and new sensations controlled her body. If Cole dared to stop now,
she’d smite him for his mistake. The heat of his breath against her and the
pressure of his tongue on her tense bundle of nerves drove her mad. The feel of
his facial hair against the inside of her thigh was exactly how she’d
fantasized. But something else was happening that she couldn’t explain.
Tension mounted in a place she never
knew existed and she enjoyed every second of it. “Ah,” she moaned, reveling in
the feel of the man’s clever mouth against her. His tongue moved in a torturous
pattern. She gripped the sheet beneath her naked body and balled her hands into
fists. Then she burst into what seemed like a thousand sparks with the
experience of her first orgasm.
Still her breath was short and
sharp. She yearned for more of Cole. He crawled up her body and claimed her
lips. The taste of herself on his mouth fired her libido once more, and he was
not ignorant of the signs, “I want you, Diana. Let me inside. I want to hear my
name on your lips the next time you come.”
She gaped at his words, a near
command, and parted her thighs in invitation. Fractions of a second later, she
felt the tip of his cock pressed against her. She sensed him holding back,
hesitating to give her his all.
Finally, he pressed forward and
drove himself inside. Long, thick and filling her completely, she winced at the
brief moment of pain as he penetrated her virginal seal. But the discomfort
soon turned into unspeakable pleasure. She snapped her head backward and panted
in sweet bliss.
Cole’s powerful thrusts rocked her
to the very core. But his victorious growls made her want to surrender everything,
even her godhood, to be his. The thought cued the familiar sense of climbing a
cliff ever so slowly before standing dangerously close to the edge. He felt too
good, too right and she couldn’t hold on much longer.
Emphatic moans escaped Cole’s lips.
“Oh baby, I am so close. But I refuse to come before you do,” he said and
flashed a sexy grin. He sought her lips once more to deliver a smoldering kiss
capable of melting the polar ice caps, and thrust to his hilt. In an instant,
she came screaming his name.
“Oh thank the gods,” he said,
nearly breathless. Seconds later he met his own climax, spilling his seed deep inside
her.
Sweaty and spent, they lay on the
bed, their limbs intertwined. In a moment of insecurity, Diana stood and began
to dress. “What are you doing?” Cole asked.
She looked at him while stepping
into her panties. “I thought I’d leave,” she said.
He reached for her hand, “Don’t.
Please stay,” he implored.
She slouched and met his gaze. The
sincerity in his eyes melted her heart and though she knew the thought was
absurd, she wanted to stay as well. “Cole, this is crazy. We barely know each
other,” she said.
“You want to know what’s even
crazier?” he asked, then stood before her.
“What’s that?” she asked.
“I don’t want to let you go. And
I’m afraid that if I do, I’ll never see you again,” he admitted and pulled her toward
the bed. “Please stay with me,” he begged once more.
Diana swallowed past the enormous
lump in her throat. Never in her life had she felt so wanted. Cole’s request
was genuine. That much she knew. Killing Cole Hunter was going to be the most
difficult mission she’d ever have to complete.
