Erik Ice Tooth is used to getting what he wants. Undefeated in battle, no man is his match and no woman resists him, until he meets Bera, daughter of his King.
Disgusted by the hulking brute who asks for her hand in marriage, Bera adamantly refuses him, but Erik is determined to have his way. He abducts Bera, vowing to prove to her that theirs is a match made by the gods. He has many lusty tricks in store for the unsuspecting Bera. Will she be able to resist this sexy warrior?
The following excerpt from NORTHMAN’S PASSION is for readers 18 and over.
“Do you want me to let you go? Think before you answer out of spite. I’m willing to coax you if you’re frightened, but don’t try my patience.”
“What if I simply don’t want you?” Even as she spoke the words, she didn’t believe them.
“I don’t think that’s the truth.” He brushed his cheek lightly against hers and Bera’s eyes closed momentarily. He smelled so clean, fresh and masculine.
“What if it is?” she whispered. “Would you force me?”
“I want a willing woman,” he said, his breath warm and enticing on her lips. Her hands tightened around his neck and she lifted her head the slightest bit, yet it was enough to touch her mouth fully to his.
That was all the encouragement he needed.
She might have initiated the kiss, but he took immediate control. His firm mouth claimed her, tender yet possessive. Bera closed her eyes and surrendered completely.
When Erik’s tongue thrust between her lips, she opened herself to him. Her tongue, hungry yet tentative, reached for his.
Erik was a thorough and patient teacher. Every commanding thrust of his tongue taught her lessons in lust she never dreamed possible.
With her snug in his arms, he walked back to the creek. A short distance from the water, he placed her on her feet. Bera stood, her legs trembling from desire and anticipation, and tilted her face toward his.
Their gazes locked, he smiled at her, his expression dominant yet tender. She’d never imaged Erik could be like this, nor had she believed any man could make her feel this way. Marriages weren’t about love, but about compatibility, wealth and family honor. If the couple was lucky, affection might grow between them. The idea of marrying a man who aroused her body and soul was…
What was she thinking? She had refused Erik. Yet because of his stubbornness, maybe they’d have a chance after all.
His dark, gleaming eyes fixed on his fingers that unfastened the brooches on her dress with surprising ease.
