He lets go of me, leaving my head a bit tender. “Next time, I’m making you scream,” he says in a husky voice.
I chuckle, lifting my sore self-off him. I start to drain the dirty water. “I want to take an actual bath with you.”
He sits back, cock still standing.
My eyes move to it. “How? Do I not satisfy you? Did you not just come a lot?”
He snorts. “You’re fucking gorgeous. What can I say?”
I freeze, looking up at him. Our relationship is weird. He’s the hellhound of my ex best friend and saved me from the vampires in the Earth World. Was this even… a relationship? He has never asked me out. Would I say yes? So much has happened… He almost murdered a Soul Reaper for touching me, he felt guilty for not finding Killian with me during the Hell Storm, and he found out I’m half-human and demon and didn’t leave. I hate that he knows that about me, and I couldn’t control how or when he found out.
Circe was in control.
“What’s wrong?” Ledger reaches forward, turning on the water when it is done draining.
“Huh?”
“You’re staring at me.”
“Oh…”
Ledger is very handsome. Most girls at the academy flirt with him, and he ignores them…for me. The sides of his head are shaved to a fade, leaving the top a hanging mess, parts touching his nose. He tends to push it back a lot. His jaw is sharp, and his lips are pink and a bit thin. His ears have a lot of holes in them from jewelry and gauges. He has muscles running along his body and I ache to touch them all, but he has too many. Even his ass has muscles.
“Asura, are you okay?” His large hand cups my cheek.I’m still a little out of it because of Circe. I know that.
I nod. “Sorry… A lot of thoughts.”
He pulls me into his lap, having me straddle him again. “Let’s talk about them.”
I snort. “No. We don’t have to.”
“Is… she still there?”
“No. She’s quiet now. Just a bit of aftereffects, that’s all.”
His crimson eyes scan my face. “Okay. Let’s get you cleaned up.”
Ledger takes his time washing me completely as I grow tired. I hated feeling like this. I’m tired for days after she rises. It messes with my head and makes it seem like time is jumping and is unclear. Ledger’s touch grounds me, in a way. It makes me feel real and stay present.
“Why are you being all…?” He hasn’t teased me once or joked much with me.
He cocks a brow. “Nice? Because you deserve a bit of niceness. Don’t expect it all the time. I’m pitying you.”
I snort. “I thought so.”
He shrugs. “Hazen would be so much better at this than I am.”
“I’m just… tired. We can lay together.” I agree Hazen would be ten times more affectionate, but it’s not exactly what I need right now.
“Cuddle?” Ledger’s brows pull together.
“No! Just lay together.”
He smirks. “That’s cuddling, Asura.”
“Fine, fuck you.”
Reluctantly, he crawls into bed, grabbing me as I try to crawl away. He pulls me against his chest with a soft “oof.” His arm rounds my waist as he settles behind me.
