“If you think it’s easy to resist rolling you over and taking you right now, then you are sadly mistaken.”
The hint of a smile tugged at her lips before she composed her face into a serious mask again.
“So, what are we going to do about our sleeping arrangement?” she inquired.
He slid his fingers up higher, pushing the tunic with him until he reached the soft swell of the side of her breast. He didn’t miss the way her eyes darkened or the quick inhalation of her breath.
She was determined to see this through, but she couldn’t deny her growing arousal.
“I don’t know; what are we going to do?” he murmured.
“Tonight, wewillspend the whole night together. You will remain in the bed with me, and youwillsleep.”
“Bossy little thing, aren’t you?” he murmured.
When his knuckles skimmed her nipple, it hardened against his hand.
“Cole,” Lexi whispered, “this means a lot to me.”
His hand stilled on her as she gazed up at him with pleading eyes. He didn’t like it, but he couldn’t deny something so important to her.
“I’ll stay in bed with you all night,” he said.
“And you’re going to sleep.”
He hesitated before replying, “If I’m going to sleep, then you’re going to have to tire me out.”
Lexi gasped and then laughed when he rolled, so she was on top of him. He settled her core against the rigid evidence of his lust. She bit her bottom lip as her hands settled on his chest and her auburn hair fell forward to tickle his skin.
The sensation of her hair brushing against him, and her warm body on his, was almost too much to bear. No matter how often it happened, he would never get used to how right she felt in his arms or how beautiful she was.
Releasing her hips, he grasped the tunic that had fallen back down and pulled it up to expose her taut belly. And then, he edged it higher to reveal more and more of her supple body.
When it made it to her breasts, Lexi gripped the edge of it and pulled it over her head to reveal her breasts and pert nipples. His mouth watered, and his dick jumped as his gaze settled on his bite marks on her. They weren’t fading yet, but his fangs pricked with his compulsion to mark her again.
“How should I start on tiring you out?” she asked as she leisurely moved back and forth along his cock.
He grinned at her. “Never ask a dark fae what they want from you in bed.”
“I’ll keep that in mind if I ever find myself in the bed of another dark fae.”
His amusement vanished as a low growl issued from him. The lycan part of him didn’t find this teasing banter anywhere near as amusing as his dark fae side.
“Now, now,” she murmured as she leaned toward him. Her breasts flattened against his chest, and her lips nearly brushed his as she spoke. “No reason to get all grumpy when I plan on making you very,veryhappy.”
Chapter Fifty
Her lips teasedhis as her hips rose and fell in a slow, undulating movement that made him groan. Just as the kiss between them was starting to deepen, she pulled her mouth away and rested it against his ear.
“Let me see your ciphers again,” she whispered.
More than happy to let go of his ever-constant restraint, Cole released the magic keeping them hidden. As that magic slipped away, he felt them spreading across his skin to cover his body.
Leaning back, Lexi placed one palm on the center of his chest. She used her other hand to trace the markings on his chest, down his torso, and toward his dick. Sitting further back on him, she pulled his shaft forward and ran her fingers across the ciphers enveloping it.
The awe on her face was almost as riveting as her tender, teasing touch. He resisted his desperate need to be inside her while he watched her explore. It was torture, but it wasexquisitetorture.
“Amazing,” she murmured.
