A sour taste invades my mouth. “Well, I actually don’t know. Gage is a hot-and-cold person. I never know what temperature he’s going to be, and considering he left me with you and never returned…”
I let my voice trail off because I feel like a fool. I’ll just choose a room and then go see him when I have to. Chaz disappears from sight, leaving a glitter trail in his wake, and Ella stands with me as I stare at the enigma I wish I could understand.
“You can bunk with me until you find out,” Ella says brightly, always doing what she can to lighten the heaviest of situations.
I start to agree with her, when Gage’s eyes meet mine. He stares down at me and smirks, then he suddenly vanishes from the room.
“Where did he—” My words end in a squeal when I feel my body being pulled from the breathing plane, and I cling to the arms around my waist as we split the planes, dematerialized yet whole, an odd sensation that I usually don’t particularly care for.
I hear the deep rumble of a throaty chuckle as we break back through the breathing plane, and I gasp for air when my body fully takes form once more.
“Bastard,” I say in a whisper when my heartrate won’t go down.
He only laughs a little harder, mocking me in response, and my eyes finally land on him as he moves to grab the remote to the large TV mounted on the far wall. This room is massive. A black, oversized bed rests against the taupe wall. The black duvet looks fresh and clean—nothing a little magic can’t do.
The fireplace is tiled and immaculate, looking unused but inviting. Everything is so modern and fresh. But my eyes land back on the best thing in the room, and I can’t help but study all the lines of his body as he surfs for a channel he wants.
His dark jeans are frayed and unbuttoned at the top. His hair is wet from a shower, glistening blacker than normal. His golden skin looks even sexier under the low glow of the dim lighting.
When he finally finds some weird music station, he finally drops the remote and smiles over at me. Guess I really am staying up here unless he forces me out.
With long, predatory strides, he reaches me and pulls me into his arms, tilting my head back before he brushes his lips against mine. Chaz appears in the room with us, smirking before he drops my bag to the floor, and then he winks at me before disappearing again.
Gage tilts his head, and the curtains I hadn’t noticed pull closed over the windows, draping us in privacy as his thumb travels over my bottom lip.
“So I’m staying with you?” I ask a little breathlessly.
His dark grin is one I’m really starting to love. “I’m not giving you up until I have to,” he says softly before leaning down and running his tongue over the seam of my lips, and I suck in another breath.
“What if you don’t have to give me up?”
He angles my head so that his tongue can travel down the side of my neck, eliciting a soft moan from deep within. “If you stick around long enough, I have a feeling I won’t be able to give you up.”
That has me smiling as I thread my fingers through his damp hair and pull him closer while tilting my head more, giving him all the access he needs to devour my neck.
“We’re going to have to stay here for a while—off the radar,” he murmurs against my skin as his hands tighten on my hips and draw me closer. “Until we can invade the rings.”
I don’t argue or even manage to ask the questions I had earlier. Mysteries have always been my Achilles heel, but right now, he’s my only focus. Everything seems to be changing, and for some reason, Gage is the center of it all.
He tugs my hair, forcing my head back, and his lips come down on mine just rough enough to make me feel alive. The second my lips part, his expert tongue slips in and controls me. The bar flicks against my tongue, and I shiver in his arms.
He kisses me harder as I hand myself over completely and surrender to whatever this heady chemistry is between us, and a low growl escapes his throat before he bends and picks me up. My legs wrap around his waist, and my dress rises up to settle on my hips, exposing my lacy, barely-there panties to him.
One of his hands slides over the skin of my ass, holding me with effortless ease, and his other hand moves to my hair, tangling in the blonde strands as he hungrily explores every inch of my mouth.
Kissing has always been foreplay for me, never something I really appreciated. But with Gage… I swear I could kiss him all day and still be starving for more. I’m still sorting through what it all means, but I like the direction we’re going.
He lowers me until my feet find the floor, and he walks behind me to unzip the short dress that is still bunched on my hips. As the zipper slides down, he follows the exposed skin with his tongue.
“I hate that our first time was still mostly dressed in the home of a succubus. Now it’s time to slow things down,” he says against my skin, licking a trail that feels like fire down my back. It doesn’t matter where his tongue goes, I can feel
it in every nerve, as though a live wire is slashing around inside of me.
The zipper continues to be lowered at a painstakingly slow pace, until he finally reaches the end and licks a trail back up my back. My eyes fall closed because I’m lost in a sea of sensation. Once he reaches my neck, he slowly slides my dress off my shoulders and lets it fall to the floor, revealing my naked breasts and black lace panties.
He draws in an appreciative breath as he walks back in front of me, and he brings his lips back down on mine before picking me up again. His hands resume their prior placements—my hair and my ass—and he tugs my hair, putting my face exactly where he wants it.
The sensual kiss takes a turn for savage, and Gage tugs my hair harder, deepening the strokes with his tongue. He spins and turns toward the bed, walking me there and lowering me to it, keeping his body moving with mine until he finally breaks the kiss and stands up.
