Turning all this over in my head, I was reminded of the way he and Zane grew up. I’d never known a childhood like that. I had my mom, dad, and baby brother…acolytes. “What do you mean she shopped you around?”
“I mean she offered my ass as barter for her survival. And before you say anything I wasn’t trying to make this about me or downplay what happened to that little girl. I guess I wanted you to know people are resilient. We come back from a lot of shit.”
“You’re not as bad as you think you are,” I mumbled. “You are sweet.”
He laughed softly, tracing a finger down my spine. “Only to you, baby-girl. I’ve never been like this with anyone.”
“Gwen?” I dared ask.
“Nyx? Those blondes you see me with. I’m not fucking them. I’m destroying their bodies and then discarding them like trash. Everything I want to do to her.”
That caught me off guard, but it also explained the blood on his jeans the other night and why he didn’t have his shirt on.
“Because she broke your heart?”
He laughed again and leaned back, taking me with him. Once I was positioned so that I was lying on top of him, he moved his hands to my ass.
“That bitch never had my heart and I was never in love with her. I was in love with the idea that someone could love me.”
I placed a soft kiss on the tip on his nose. I wasn’t sure how to respond to that, so I said the only thing that I could. “I think I could fall in love with you.”
A cocky smirk had one side of his mouth hitching. I glared and tried to get up; he rolled so that I was beneath him.
“You think? If you had any doubt that you wouldn’t fall in love with me, you’re wrong. It’s already too late.” He grabbed my wrists and pinned them above my head.
“And I’ll you back, but we don’t need to rush this. I’m not going anywhere and neither are you. When it’s right, we’ll know.”
“So poetic,” I deadpanned, internally celebrating this moment.
He cocked his head to the side and stared down at me. “We’ve got some time…”
“And?”
“Let me play?”
He was full of surprises it seemed.
Completely naked and face down on the bed, I waited anxiously wondering what he was going to do next.
I knew he was on my right, I sensed him.
“You’re more gorgeous than I could explain,” he said softly. I heard him move, and then his hand was flat on my back.
A second later something cold pressed against my left globe. I flinched involuntarily, releasing a small squeak when it cut me. I felt the trickle of blood travel across my skin, and then his tongue was there, soothing the sting.
I released a small groan as teeth sunk in around the small cut.
The blade traveled to my other globe, and he repeated the same process, but this time his tongue swiped all the way to the center of my ass.
He continued to knick my flesh, soothing each cut with his tongue. His weight settled over my back, just enough that I felt him but not enough to crush me.
Warm lips went from one shoulder blade to the other, skimming to my neck. Goose-pimples followed in their wake.
“Turn over,” he breathed in my ear.
His body shifted so that I could turn, placing my torso beneath his spread legs.
“Do you trust me?”
