“God, you’re such a shit.”
Connor snorts. “And you’ve been hanging out with Paddy too much. You’re even starting to sound like him. They’re here.”
He nods through the window where a dark SUV has pulled up to the curb. My heart thuds, my head whipping around as Paddy and Niall climb out of the car. Oh god. I flinch, swallowing down bile at the sight of all the blood covering them, but I don’t look away. The air in my nostrils is cold again. I am cold all over, fighting the urge to shiver. This was for us.
They talk as they walk up the path, stepping into the house where we are waiting. Paddy freezes when he sees me, the words dying on his tongue, his eyes burning into mine as he swallows roughly.
Behind him, Niall is frozen too, his eyes locked on my face like he’s afraid I’m about to faint or run away screaming.
“What are ye doing awake, lass?” Paddy breathes, his voice rough and quiet. “I told ye not to wait up.”
“I wanted to make sure that you were okay,” I whisper. Something indecipherable flickers in Paddy’s eyes.
“I’m all right,mo chroí,” he assures me, shifting uncomfortably. “Are ye?”
I assume he’s talking about all the blood. I frown at his shirt.
“Of course.”
“Lass -.”
“We need to soak that, or the blood will set, and we’ll never get the stain out.”
Both he and Niall blink in surprise at my words. I’m determined to make all this seem normal. It’s what Paddy needs. I know it is.
“Ye aren’t upset about the blood?” Paddy asks at last, sounding uncertain. I swallow some more bile.
“I don’t particularly want to know the details. And I’d rather you didn’t touch me until you’ve had a shower. But,” I shudder out a breath, “you have to do what you have to do. It’s part of who you are, and I love you just the way you are.”
Niall makes a strangled noise, drawing my gaze over Paddy’s shoulder to him. He’s staring at me like I’ve grown an extra head. Niall grunts, turning on his heel and striding out of the house like he has somewhere he needs to be.
“Where’s he off to then?” Connor asks, making me jump. Shit. I forgot he was here. Paddy glances over my shoulder briefly, his eyes sliding back to mine.
“Off to figure out how to make a bartender fall in love with him, I’d say,” Paddy guesses. I bite back a smile. Mellie won’t know what hit her. “We’re going to bed, Connor.”
“All right. Sleep well,” Connor agrees. Paddy gestures for me to lead the way up the stairs without looking at his friend. Thank goodness.
While I’m okay with it,in theory, it’s pretty hard to look at all the blood and not remember that it used to be inside a person who also used to be alive.
“Wait for me in bed, lass,” Paddy’s breath brushes my ear as he murmurs to me, but otherwise, he makes sure not to touch me.
I move to the bed as he strides off into the bathroom. Quickly stripping off my clothing, I slide beneath the covers, my eyes locked on the closed bathroom door.
Paddy is back in ten minutes, lifting the comforter off me.
“I even remembered to soak the shirt.”
My lips lift into a smile. It’s cute how proud he sounds about that. Paddy slides into bed, down my body, and buries his face between my legs with a groan.
Shit. My fingers grip the comforter, my legs widening as his tongue licks through my folds, flicking my clit. I will never get used to how good this feels. Paddy’s thumb presses inside me, pumping as his teeth and tongue work my clit over. I’m going to come wicked quick. I have no idea how Paddy knows exactly which buttons to press to get me off, but I love that he does.
“Paddy!” I gasp, my head tipping back as I come.
He growls, kissing his way up my body, pulling the comforter up with him. Paddy tugs me into his arms, curling his body around me, holding me close.
I’m sated, but Paddy isn’t. I move my hand over his dick, stroking him through his fitted trunks. Before I can curl my fingers around it, Paddy grabs my hand, stopping me. Huh? That’s different. The only time he stops me from touching his dick is if he has a fight to win.
Lifting my hand from his crotch, Paddy rests it against his bare chest, holding it here.
