“What now?” She whispers.
“What do you mean?”
“Are we friend who kiss or…” She bites her lip. “Friends who do more?” She trails her hands down my tattered shirt, reaching the hem. She goes lower, fiddling with the band of my pants.
Briefly, my eyes widen in shock at her daring actions—that Moe,mysweet and innocent Moe, would stand before me and suggest such a thing. But that’s just my initial perception of her. Haven’t I realized, time and time again, that I’ve underestimated her?
A smile plays at my lips as I grab her hands and stop her.
“Neither,” I answer.
Her face falls.
“We are not friends anymore, Moe. I won’t bejustyour friend. If we do this…”
“If we do this, then…” she repeats, wetting her lips. “What are we then?”
“Lovers. Mates. I want it all or nothing.”
“All or nothing, huh?” She smiles. “I’ll takeallwith nothing on.” She winks at me.
It takes me a moment to realize what she means, long enough for her to grab onto a hole in my shirt and pull it apart until theentire thing rips. The material falls to the ground and I’m bare-chested in front of her, my skin streaked with dried blood.
“If that’s how you want to play.” I smile and use two shadows to pull apart her top, too, and when she’s left in her bustier, I lift it over her head and throw it to the side.
“So considerate,” she murmurs. “Thanks. I only had one.”
“I know.” I give her a knowing smile. But it quickly dies on my lips when I see her breasts for the first time.
They’re small but supple, matching her small frame. Her nipples are a light pink that deepens into a red in the middle.
My mouth is already watering at the sight of them.
“You can touch,” she says, taking my hand and placing it on her right breast. Her skin is so warm and soft.
A groan escapes me as I flick my thumb over her nipple. Shivers go down her body and she lets out a small sigh as she pushes her chest further into my touch.
My cock is so hard, the head’s poking over the band of my pants, already leaking.
Her eyes dip to that area, widening slightly in alarm before curiosity takes over.
“Take off your pants,” she says in a low voice.
I don’t wait to be told twice. I pull them off me and throw them to the side, now fully naked in front of her.
She stands there, watching me intently. Her tongue peeks out to lick her lip as she zeroes in on my cock.
“Are you sure immortals and mortals are physically compatible?” She murmurs. “I don’t know how that’s going to fit.”
“Only one way to find out,” I reply smoothly as I hook my fingers onto the band of her pants and pull them down together with her underwear. She steps out of them, but when she finds herself naked in front of me, some of her bravado from before disappears.
She glances away and uses her arms to cover her private parts.
“Moe,” I say as I cup her cheeks. “We don’t have to do anything right now if you don’t want to.”
She shakes her head. “No. It’s not that. It’s just that… I’ve never been naked like this in front of anyone. It’s a little…weird.”
“That makes two of us.”
