Chapter 123

Sometimes Nathan forgot the intricacies of Sasha’s tattoos and all the places they coiled. The first tendrils started in the dip of his hip bones and then drew beautiful patterns down and around his skin to the inside of his thighs. The pattern was the finest and smallest between Sasha’s legs, but that was the part Nathan loved most. He wanted to work his way there just as he had promised. Slowly.

Nathan stayed right where he was between Sasha’s thighs. He pushed Sasha’s legs up so they were bent, leaving him more room, then tucked himself between them and leaned down so he could start a wet trail at one side of Sasha’s markings. He surprised Sasha by sucking in the skin and biting gently right where the left side’s markings began, low on his hips. Nathan continued the same way, trailing with his tongue along the black lines, and every so often biting and sucking on the tender skin. Sasha hissed every time, once almost like a whimper.
