Admittedly, I love her touch. I love the feeling of having her this close. It’s like a drug, luring me in. I lean closer, inhaling her delicate, innate scent.
She pushes me back half a step. “I need to know you’re listening.”
I grab her, pulling her against me. The inhale of her breath is sharp and quick. When I look deep in her eyes, bending her back in a dip, her pupils widen.
She feels drugged by my presence, too.
Persephone starts speaking quickly, her breath coming fast. “When we first met, you scared me. I hated you. I didn’t feel like being around you was a safe haven for me. But now…” She tips her face up to mine, close enough to brush her lips against mine. She doesn’t though. She seems to be trying to make a point. “Now I think that we were meant to be together. Like the universe had a plan when it put me in your path.”
“Fuck, P,” I swear softly. I look deep into her eyes. “When ye touch me like this… when ye say these words to me… I know that ye trust me…”
“With not just my life, but the life of our child,” she whispers.
Gritting my teeth, I scan her face. “I already know how I feel, which is that yer telling me the absolute truth. I’ve never felt that, not about anyone else.” I clasp her hand against my chest, moved by the sheer closeness of this moment. “I love the way ye touch me, Persephone. I haven’t been touched like this by anyone else in my entire life.” I hesitate before pushing forward. “I would do anything to feel ye next to me forever.”
“You can have me forever,” she whispers, her eyes scanning my face. “All you have to do is ask.”
“What about my business?”
“What about it? It existed before you. I’m sure that your brothers will continue to run it after you’ve stepped back. You just have to make a decision. For once in your life, think about what would make you happy, rather than just considering what would add to your obscene piles of money.”
Without answering the question directly, I brush my mouth over hers. She sucks in a breath and I plunder her mouth, pulling gasps from low in her chest.
Chapter12
Persephone
All these emotions are flying around in the air surrounding me. I look up at him, my hand raising to caress his cheekbone after he kisses me.
His gaze locks on mine.
I press my lips to Hades’ and his hands find my waist, gently pushing me onto my back. I gasp and he sinks one hand into my hair, softly pulling my head back.
His burning kisses scald the exposed curve of my neck as he moves down my body. I blush and try to cover my pregnant belly with my hands. But Hades pays attention to my stomach first. He pulls my hands away and shapes the curve of my stomach, placing a single kiss to the top of my stomach.
“You don’t have to do that,” I say softly.
Hades looks up at me, eyes blazing. “And why shouldn’t I? That’s my babe in there. It’s a part of ye, as well. It’s mine, just like the rest of yer body.” He slides his hands to my hips, skimming his touch up the sides of my ribs.
He looks up at me as he places a kiss to the right side of my breast. “Say it.”
I suck in a breath. “Say what?”
“Tell me who ye belong to. Tell me I’m yer man.”
“You’re my man, Hades.” He kisses the top of my breast and I shudder. “I’m all yours.”
“Fucking right ye are.”
My nipples pebble against the cool air as he shapes my breasts with both hands, pushing them together and sucking them like a starving man sat down at a feast.
My back bows and I drive my hands through his dark, silky hair, pulling him closer. My mouth opens and I let out a moan as he abrades my nipples with his tongue. Then he moves back, and I’m left aching, wanting more.
Hades tugs at my dress. “Take this fucking thing off. I need to see ye. I want ye naked and writhing before me, begging me for my cock.”
I shimmy out of the dress as I watch him strip off his shirt and undo the buckle of his belt. Sitting up, I reach for him. But Hades pushes me back down, his eyes dark and excited.
“No. I want ye to touch yer tits. Play with them, pinch yer nipples.”
