Ellen just stood there staring at him. Waves thundered distant fury beyond the window. Frost lingered faintly on the glass. His gray eyes—Lorian's eyes—held her captive. "You were in my dreams."
Luke nodded slowly. Chestnut waves shifted softly. "I am sorry for how far it went. I just could not control it. I want to be with you. I don't know if I could until that kiss the other day."
"But you're a ghost," she whispered. Her voice trembled raw. "You seem so real."
"I know. I don't understand it either." His tone carried ancient confusion.
Ellen paced the floor frantically. Bare feet whispered across the carpet. Turret shadows danced in candle-flicker. "What do we do?"
"I don't know. I can make myself unseen if you want to." He raised his cool hands in peace.
"No." She ran to him close. Arms wrapped desperately. "No, I don't want that. I want to help you."
His mouth claimed hers deeper this time. Ravenous ghost hunger devoured her. Tongue plunged silk-hot, tasting salt eternity. Cold lips scorched fire. She pulled him closer fiercely. Hands fisted his shirt and yanked it free. His chest gleamed pale marble under the moon. She traced faint runes on his skin. He groaned low. He backed her to the bed slowly. He laid her down gently. The bed creaked alive.
Cold palms slid her gown straps low. Exposed peaks hardened with ache. His mouth sealed over one n****e and suckled mercilessly. Ice tongue circled the peak electric. She arched with a gasp. Thighs parted on instinct. His knee wedged against her core. Hard length ground deliberately—chilled steel over velvet. "Cold... but warm at the same time," she moaned. Fire bloomed despite the frost. Fingers clawed his back and nailed ghost flesh that yielded.
He pulled back gasping. Forehead pressed to hers. "Ellen, I want to... but I don't know what will happen."
She panted slick. Ache lingered sweet. "I know. I guess we have to find out."
He stripped her bare. His own jeans vanished spectral. c**k nudged her slick folds. Thrust entered slow and stretched her divine. Cold invaded her hot clench. Waves crashed core-deep. Hips rolled in grind. Pace built savage. Peaks shattered in tandem. Her cry echoed his growl. Climax pulsed with rune-glow. Bind hummed alive.
Manor shuddered in warning. Frost spidered the walls. Eternal bind stirred restless.
