He licked her again, that same long, torturous path right through her throbbing core. And again, and again. She was panting, knuckles tight and stiff where they curled around the shelf. Hot, sweeping lust beat a rhythm through her blood and in her ears; it pulsed at the apex of her thighs, growing and growing, more and more frantic with each lazy stroke.
And in that moment she could forget it all. Forget that he’d lied, that he was leaving. Everything narrowed down to this moment, her mind fractured and sifted away until it was only this, only the feel of Kai’s mouth and the soaring heat throughout her that answered to him, and only him.
Kai’s lips closed around her throbbing bud, and she bucked, whimpering into her own palm, but still she managed not to cry out loud. His hand was firm around her thigh, holding her open for him as he sucked and licked, and her hips rolled against his mouth. It wasn’t until he slid a finger inside her that Adeline had to grab at the shelf with both hands, and her moan rent the stifling air.
Kai pulled back, a little breathless but grinning darkly up at her, his hand still slowly pumping between her thighs.
“And you were doing so well.”
He flicked his tongue against her – then swiftly filled her with a second finger.
“Fuck,Kai–”
Kai tutted.
All at once, his hand and mouth withdrew, and she was achingly empty for the briefest moment before he reared up and crushed her into the shelves, stealing the last of her breath as their chests pressed together.
“I told you to stay quiet, Adeline. Do I need tohelpyou stay quiet?”
He pressed his hips to hers until she felt the thick, hard outline of him against her belly and nearly whimpered again. She nodded fervently. Yes, she wanted that. Wanted him to silence her, wanted him in her mouth, wanted him moaning and helpless as she had been. She reached down in the tight space between their bodies to run her palm up the rigid length of him, and Kai bucked against her with a grunt – but then he caught her wrist.
“I want to fuck you. Now. Here.”
She shivered. His voice was granite, ragged at the edges, but he was asking.Waiting for her answer as though she weren’t standing before him with her thighs coated in her own lust, already just as far gone as he was. More so.
“I don’t want to wait to get you back to my bed.”
Adeline reached for his waistband. “Then don’t wait.”
Kai had barely undone his belt before she had her hand down the front of his trousers and wrapped around his cock. His lips were bruising on her mouth as she stroked him, once, twice –
“Now, Adeline,” he growled into her mouth.
He grabbed her by the waist and propped her against the very edge of the half-empty shelf, and then her hand was sliding in the mess of arousal between her legs as she held herself open for him and Kai sank into her with a deep and guttural groan that almost swallowed up her own exalted sighs.
Almost.
Kai managed a flickering grin.
“Quiet now, love, remember?”
She nearly scowled, but then his hand landed over her mouth, and she felt herself twitch and tighten around him, drawing another deep hum from his chest. He nudged his nose beneath her jaw, and she felt his grin against her throat, breathless and taunting.
“You like that,” he teased. “Being told what to do.”
Smug bastard, she wanted to say, but that hand tightened over her mouth and without waiting for her answer, he drove into her, over and over, filling her so completely she forgot what she’d been about to say, forgot everything that wasn’tthis. Kai groaned and panted openly, and her own muffled noises spilled into his palm.
“Touch yourself,” he demanded, now just barely audible above his own racing breath.
She resisted for just a split second, one aching, agonising moment of defiance – then moaned in frustration at herself as she gave in and slid her hand between her legs, coated her fingers in her own wetness, teasing herself as Kai pumped into her.
He watched with greedy approval, his thrusts gaining pace in time with her hand as they both stared down at the place where their bodies joined, his cock slick with her wetness, disappearing into her body over and over as her fingers blurred above him.
“Fuck, I love you,” he gasped, the words ripping from him as he buried himself deeper still inside her. “I love you, Adeline.”
And though she heard him, she couldn’t speak, not with his hand at her mouth, and not while she barrelled over the edge, body convulsing as she shattered completely, her entire being scattered into the Winds, until she knew nothing.
Nothing but that Kai was here. Still here, in this endless moment, pulsing between her thighs as he spilled himself roughly inside her, and told her again and again that he loved her.
