I adjusted the blanket and it slid completely off me.“Oops,” I whispered.
Prime froze mid-step and slowly looked over his shoulder at me.His eyes dragged down my body.And then back up.
A heat flickered in them that made my toes curl.
“Shay…” he said slowly, voice thick.
I smiled sweetly.“What?You said we had to get going.”
He raised an eyebrow.“Babe, you’re naked in my bed.”
“And you could be too if you would get back over here,” I pointed out.
He took two steps back toward the bed.“Shay.”Another step.“You keep looking at me like that…” Another step.“And we’re not leaving this room anytime soon.”
I tossed the blanket all the way off.I liked the sound of that.
His eyes darkened like storm clouds.
And then he was on the bed again, braced over me with his breath warm and fast as his hands slid up my thighs as if he couldn’t help it.
“You’re unbelievable,” he whispered and kissed the corner of my mouth.
“I can’t help it that you are easily distracted,” I murmured and threaded my fingers into his hair.
He groaned, actually groaned, and lowered himself until his body was flush against mine.
I kissed him back, deeper, and pulled him down as my legs wrapped around his hips.His hands moved up my sides, slow but hungry, and mapped the lines of my body like he’d memorized them last night and was re-learning them now just because he could.
He kissed me like he’d missed me during the five minutes we hadn’t been touching.
Like he didn’t care if we ever left this room.
Like the rest of the world, the danger, the island, and the secrets didn’t matter as long as I was under him and he could breathe me in.
He pulled back just enough to look me in the eyes.
“You sure you want to just stay here?”he asked, voice rough.
I nodded and slid my hands down his back.“I’m sure.”
Prime’s lips crashed into mine again.
The room faded.The world disappeared.All that was left was us breathless, tangled, and connected in ways I couldn’t put words to.
His hands on my waist.My fingers in his hair and his mouth moving with mine.Every inch of him pressed against every inch of me.
He kissed down my throat, along my shoulder, back to my lips, while whispering my name in between like it meant something.Like it was sacred.
This was my new easy.
My new safe.
My new home.
Prime.
And I wasn’t going anywhere.
