One second, Parker had Tessa pinned against the stone, her body trembling beneath his hands. The next—
The fucking floor vanished.
Air whooshed past them as the portal yawned open beneath their feet, reality twisting—before they crashed back into existence.
Parker barely flinched, landing on the bedroom floor with effortless grace. Tessa, though? She bounced onto the bed, dazed, her hair sprawled out, her skin still flushed from everything he'd done to her.
But she didn't care about the portal, or Ere, or anything except—
She rolled onto her hands and knees, arching her back, turning her head just enough to meet his gaze. Dark, ravenous. "You're not done, are you?"
His chest rose and fell, breath still heavy.
Then his jaw clenched. His hands curled into fists.
And he was on her.
FIRE AND STARLIGHT
