Goddess’s Choice
I.T. Lucas - 2018
He smoothed his palm over his hair. "Tell me what you want me to do, Annani." She blushed. "I want you to kiss me." "What?" He almost choked on his own saliva. Annani glanced at him from under lowered lashes. "I have never been kissed." His eyes went straight to her mouth. Fates, those lips were made for kissing, and it was a crime that they had never been. By him. "I cannot." Her blush deepened, and she lowered her head. He hooked a finger under her chin, lifting her head back up. "But you can. I cannot refuse the princess." Technically, he had to obey her commands. He would not be breaking any laws, written or implied, if he let her kiss him. Annani smiled, her tiny fangs gleaming white. Fates, how he wished to feel her bite on his skin. Would she be as wild and as ferocious as he imagined? "You are too tall for me to reach. If I am to kiss you, you need to sit down." His butt dropped on the bench before she finished her sentence. Annani approached him with the sinuous fluidity of a seductress, not an innocent girl of seventeen summers who had never been kissed. She sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes hooded with desire and blazing blue-green light. "I think this will work." Pulling on his neck, she brought his head down. The moment she touched her sweet lips to his, in a kiss that was almost chaste, he became lightheaded, probably because all the blood in his body rushed down into his manhood. She lifted her lips and smiled. "I do not know what I am doing, but apparently it is working." The girl needed him to show her how it was done. "Command me to kiss you." Her eyes widening, it took her a moment before understanding dawned. "Khiann son of Navohn, I command you to kiss me."
