The taste of her mouth and the pressure of her heat against me had every dominant part of me on high alert.
I rolled her underneath me, surprise written all over her face like a schoolgirl. Biting the side of her jaw, I soothed it with a lick.
“Ooooo,” she whispered, wrapping her other leg around my waist and digging her fingers into my deltoids. “Does Ernest think we can keep her from the other realm?”
My hips rolled into hers, and she stalled beneath me.
“Ernest has high hopes,” I whispered.
She swallowed nervously. “If you don’t plan to hammer me into this mattress, please stop. I’m one movement away from exploding.”
I tightened my fingers into her hair and the sheets beneath us. “I want that,” I said, licking her bottom lip. “But not with Fern sitting outside the doorway listening to us.”
Fern gasped from the other side and hurried down the hallway. She wasn't as quiet as she thought she was.
Josephine laughed, and it warmed me. I rolled off her, and she came with me, laying her head on my chest and playing with the hem of my sweatpants.
“I need you to shoot me straight, Anti-hero,” she whispered.
“What’s that?” I asked, sliding my palm down the curve of her back.
“Do we have a chance of defeating Deidamia?”
I closed my eyes, knowing she couldn't see, and nodded. “We’re going to defeat Deidamia. I refuse to leave her to roam this Earth to wreak havoc on the innocent. Deidamia is going to die one way or another."
Chapter Twenty-Four
Josie
The warmth from Kellan’s body made it impossible to move. I hadn’t slept so well in so long that it felt like I’d been tossed back into my bed on Earth.
Kellan moved against me; his dick pressed into my backside like we’d been sleeping together for ages.
Not that I was complaining. It was impressive and made me nervously excited to explore our relationship even further. Everything the man had given me over the past day had my head reeling.
His kiss was nothing like Jacob’s. It stirred something inside of me. It woke up this needy, greedy girl that desired his attention. Needed it.
Snuggling into his arm, I felt him laugh gently against the back of my neck. “Pretending to sleep is cruel.”
I didn’t dare turn and curse him with my morning breath. “How so?”
“It’s cruel to keep your ass against me, wiggling and breathing hard, I’m already struggling to keep my clothes on.”
Dear Lord ...
I closed my eyes and smiled softly to myself. “Says the anti-hero that pretends he doesn’t like me. I knew I was more charming than that.”
Kellan kissed the back of my neck and turned away to stand up. I watched as he walked around the room and got dressed in clothes that Ernest must have put out for us.
When he grabbed the hem of his t-shirt, he made eye contact with me while taking it off. Seeing the amused look on his face made me laugh. He wanted me to look just as bad as I wanted him to look at me.
“Amazing how much cuter your face is when you smile.”
His smile dropped. “I wouldn’t want to be too much for you,” he said coolly. “We both know you’re smitten.”
I leaned up on my elbows, knowing my hair looked like a Chuckie Doll, but I didn't flinch. “You’re right,” I said. “I might take off my clothes instead of put them on if you give me too much.” I swung the covers from me. “I might fall over and die.”
The small smile on his face followed me as I grabbed a long summer dress and a cardigan. I didn't know where Ernest got these clothes from, but I was grateful. I angled my neck to look up at him. “I haven’t told you everything about me.”
