“I love it,” Leo said reverently. Her shoulders slackened, and the tension she had built up in her head released. She reached into the box, first pulling out a sprig of dried mint in a glass tube.
“The way you taste,” she explained and handed it to him. Leo shot her a heated look before he pulled out a piece of obsidian glass. “That’s for your eyes. They kind of look like black volcanic glass.” She shrugged and took out another item, a small square tile covered in splashes of color, lines, and dots. “I would probably use this in a maximalist kitchen, but it reminded me of how your brain works. Like cohesive chaos.”
“Perfect.” He took the piece from her and stared down at it before carefully setting it back and grabbing another item. “And this?” Leo held up a small mesh bag of coffee beans.
“Your strength. It’s a medium roast.”
Leo blinked in surprise. “Medium? Not dark?”
“Dark roasts tend to be bitter. You’re strong, and you might come off as bitter at first, but you’re not.”
“Please don’t say I’m a secret softie.”
“You’re a light roast to the right palate.” Piper grinned.
“Like…” Leo leaned toward her and dragged his lips across her shoulder. “You?” He murmured against her skin.
“Exactly.” Piper expelled a breath, and her eyes fluttered shut. “There’s also a—” Her voice broke off in a soft groan as Leo gently sucked at her pulse point and cupped her breast. “—a piece of a heavy red curtain.”
“Theatre?” he asked, kissing his way across her collarbone.
“Mm-hmm.” She hummed, unable to form words the second his hot mouth wrapped around one of her nipples. “Argemone mexicana,” she managed to get out finally.
He released her breast with a wet popping sound. “What?”
“The dried poppy in resin.” Piper heaved out a sigh, arching her back in search of his mouth again. Leo obliged and continued his ministrations. “It’s a… resilient flower that—fuck.” Leo pressed on her chest, and Piper fell backward, her hair splaying across the pillows.
“Keep going, princesita. How resilient is the flower?” Leo slipped his fingers over the outside of her entrance, spreading her wetness.
She moaned. “I can’t remember.” She was losing her ability to think rather quickly. “Something about being able to grow in rough soil?”
“Mmm, anything else?” he asked, kissing down her torso.
“Charcoal color swatches. And a little moonstone.” Piper’s eyelids were heavy as she looked down between her legs where Leo was hovering.
“Because night is when we typically do this?” Leo guessed and pushed two fingers inside her.
Her back bowed off the bed, and the remainder of her explanation came out in rapid fire so they could get to the point. “No, because you’re the light when it’s dark.”
“That’s sweet,” he noted and then stuck his tongue out and dipped down to swipe it over her clit.
“Oh, God.”
“Funny, I thought I was the one worshiping,” Leo said before flicking the tip of his tongue against her again. Despite the extreme pleasure, Piper vaguely remembered what her original goal was and jerked away from him. Leo sat up abruptly and wiped at his mouth, sighing. “If you keep jumping away from me, I’m going to start getting a complex,” he repeated her own words from their second kiss in the hot tub back to her.
“You distracted me,” Piper scolded and set the inspiration box onto her nightstand before pointing to the spot beside her. “Lay back.”
Leo’s eyes were dark pools of lust, ink spreading in water, as he moved like a cat up to the head of the bed, laying back but keeping his gaze fixed on her. “Are you gonna…” He trailed off the second she started to plant wet, sucking kisses down his chest. “Notedetengas.” She jerked her head up to look at him. “I said don’t stop,” he groaned.
“Sorry, all I heard was the word no,” Piper defended. “I want your consent.”
“There’s no one on Earth who’s more consenting than me right now. Don’t. Stop,” he enunciated pointedly. “You have to learn Spanish, or it’ll be detrimental to my health.” His eyes shut as she started kissing down the V of his hip.
“I bought an app a while back, and I’ve been practicing, but I think you should redeem your ineffective teaching methods from high school.” She bit the inside of his thigh.
“You’re so ungrateful.” He barked out a laugh, and to punish him, Piper gripped his cock with her hand and swirled her tongue over the head. Leo let out an indecent sound.
“What was that?” She gave him a coy smile.
