“So why do Ihaveto choose? Is that a thing people out in the real world do? Pick one person to be with?” I shrugged, giving him a look that I hope conveyed my own hopefulness.
“I mean, back in the day … traditionally, humans were a monogamous species, but…”
“But we’re way past anything traditional in our lives, and we’re not exactlynormalhumans. So…”
“So…”
“Why can’t we be poly? … multi? …ogamous?”
His smile was infectious and I had to resist the sudden urge to push my pinky fingers into his dimples. “Polyamorous. And I have no problem with it. We’re comfortable sharing. Any time with you I get I would consider myself a lucky man.”
“Have you before? Shared a woman, I mean.”
He shook his head. “No. Never had the opportunity. All my sexual experiences have been work-related. I can’t remember if I’ve ever had intimacy or intercourse of any kind solely becauseIwanted to.”
“That’s so…”
“Sad? Wrong? Exploitative?”
“Yeah,” I said, the corners of my mouth struggling to get out of my deep frown. “Well, I don’t want to choose between the two of you. So I appreciate that you’re not going to make me. And I have no desire to get anywhere near Zane and his grumpy penis, so...”
Well, that’s a giant lie. You’d love nothing more than to take Zane’s grumpy penis and see if you can make him less grumpy. Or shut him up by sitting on his face like you did with Rix down at the stream.
“His grumpy penis,” Jorik said with a chuckle. “I hope he’s awake and heard you say that.”
“Serves him and his grumpy penis right.” I let out a contented sigh. “I just want to experience it all, you know? Everything my body can do, every ounce of pleasure it can have. We don’t know what lies ahead for any of us or if we’ll even make it out alive. Why not make the most of this trip and feelgoodas we head into the dangerous unknown? I’ve spent my entire life feeling nothing but pain and this constant hollow ache in my chest. Which I know now was the absence of joy and pleasure. So now … now I just want to feel something different. Something on my own terms. Something wonderful.”
“I want you to only ever feel wonderful from now on. You deserve nothing less.”
I giggled at how that sentiment twisted into something almost wicked in my head. “I can’t have a never-ending orgasm, Jorik. Nothing would get done. We have a war to fight, order to restore. An ecosystem to rebalance.” My smile, I was sure, was goofy, but I didn’t care. My heart was light, and I was happy.
He lifted a shoulder. “Never-ending, maybe not. But many, multiples and frequent I think we can manage.”
I liked the sound of that. I tugged him closer—not that that was really possible—and looked up into those fern-green eyes of his. “Kiss me … please?”
Oh wow, that smile of his went straight between my legs. My knees got a little wobbly, and I had the sudden urge to rip off my underwear and hand it to him. What was coming over me?
Jorik cupped my face again, threading his big, strong fingers into the hair at the back of my neck. “Oh, Angel, you never have to ask. Just take my mouth. It’s yours.” Then he dragged my lips to his, coaxing my mouth to part so he could slip his tongue in and twist it evocatively around mine. I moaned into his embrace, melting into his arms as I let him lead me on an adventure that didn’t have either of us moving from where we stood.
Sparks shot through me, and my nipples tightened to hard, painful points as his lips caressed mine in an unhurried dance of emotions, leaving my brain spinning and slightly fuzzy but all kinds of warm and happy.
When we finally pulled away, I was breathless and had to blink a couple of times to clearly see his face again. But I couldn’t stop the smile from pulling on my tingling lips, even if I tried.
Jorik stared down at me with an intense hunger, a craving, an obsession in his eyes that made my toes curl and a rush of liquid arousal pool in my underwear. My chest heaved, and my pulse pounded like I’d just sprinted on the treadmill. But I hadn’t moved from his strong, safe embrace.
“That was…” I released the back of his shirt with one hand and brought my fingers to my lips where they still buzzed and felt puffy from his fervent kisses.
His own lips tilted up in a smile I could only say was cocky. “Yeah?”
I nodded. “Yeah.”
“You never have to ask to kiss me, Angel,” he said, his grip in my hair tightening. “Take my mouth and do anything you want with it, whenever you want. It’s yours.” Desire and need ran hot inside me, and he must have seen it on my face because his eyes darkened and his grin turned deliciously wicked. “I’dloveto dothat.”
I swallowed.
Chuckling, he pulled me against him once more, but he didn’t kiss me. Rather, he guided my cheek back down to his chest. “No rush, though, Angel. On your terms. On your timeline. Just know I’m here, I’m willing, and I’mverygood at sharing.”
