“She makes them extra fresh for you,” Ruby pretended to pout, but ended up laughing. “You should let her down easy. Don’t break her heart.”
“She will figure it out. I’m sure we will be the talk of the island when we go on our date soon.”
“Right. Can we go to your house now, though? I don’t want to mingle with people just yet.”
“If it makes you happy,” he repeated.
Even when there was shade throughout the path, Ruby continued tugging on his shirt, then let her fingers linger to feel the muscles beneath. When they stepped inside the door, she skimmed her hand under the shirt and caressed his muscles more firmly until they flexed under her touch. The rest of him turned rigid.
“May I?” she asked.
Hooded eyes looked at her, his nod small. “If it makes you happy.”
She took off his shirt and kept touching, peppering kisses here and there until a grunt escaped his throat. She smiled against his chest, then licked his nipple. Maddox hissed, hands clutching her shoulders but letting her continue what she was doing. She glanced up while she trailed her kisses up his neck and let her fingers wander down his trousers.
“May I?”
“If it makes you happy.”
The game went on as she switched her direction downward while she removed his pants. It went on until she had him in her mouth, hot and pulsing, and growing harder by the second. Ruby took her time, experimenting with licks until she determined the angles that made him groan the loudest. She sucked, alternating the pressure between soft and intense until the man was wracked up with heavy shudders. Watching him come apart was a sight to behold, one she always anticipated, but he interrupted it before it could happen today when he pulled her up.
“May I keep sucking, Mad? I want to keep sucking you—”
“No.” The first refusal was bitten-out as he could barely speak. The second one was firmer, the growl sending a shot of lust straight down her core. She throbbed with it. “No. We do what makes me happy this time.”
She tried to tease again, then realized the teasing moment was gone when he carried her to bed and trembled at the effort not to throw her down. She gasped when he pinned her with his weight, then cried out when he ripped her clothes off in one heave. Then Maddox drowned out the rest of the sounds she made when he kissed her hard, distracting her while he ground against her. The desperation in his movements fed hers until she was writhing and wanting to beg for more. But she didn’t have to beg as he was already there, slipping inside her with a push of his hips.
“This makes me happy,” he confirmed, gaze boring into hers when he moved. They darkened when she spread her legs to accommodate him deeper and glazed when she tightened her hold on him.
“Are you sure this is…for your happiness…” Her eyes rolled back when he found her pleasure spot right away and repeatedly thrust there until the rest of her words were lost. “Oh, oh—”
“Yes. This makes me happy. Being inside you makes me so happy.”
“Then…yes. If it makes you happy,” she countered—or tried to, in between her moans.
But so was she, so it was a win-win situation. Ruby was happy with the way he pleasured her thoroughly, giving it his all as he drove into her and kissed her with so much love and passion. She was happy when she was in her throes, flung into the blind unknown, but aware that he would be there to catch her.
Most of all, she was happy when he experienced the same intense, blinding pleasure, giving himself so completely to it—and to her—before he collapsed in a puddle of contentment. She ran a hand through his hair while they lay there, catching their breath in the quiet aftermath.
“If I had known it would be this good every single time, we would have already done it while we were stuck in that pirate ship,” she declared.
Maddox smiled against her neck. “If we started doing it while stuck in that ship, then we would have never gotten anything done.”
“That’s not true. Our captain kept doing it, and he still got things done.”
They grinned at each other, remembering how the pirate captain, Isaiah, had fallen in love with Nicola, the vampire that Maddox had boarded that ship with. Maddox sighed.
“They did keep doing it, didn’t they? They just couldn’t keep their hands off each other.”
“I know.” She giggled. “One minute they were hanging out at the deck with us, and the next, they were making excuses about needing to discuss mission reports in the captain’s cabin. Sometimes they just disappeared, and we finally got used to assuming they hadn’t been kidnapped.”
He nodded, then grew contemplative. They wriggled around in bed until they found a more comfortable spot, still wrapped up in each other.
“We would have made excuses, too,” he said. “Me pretending to be injured, and you needing to heal me.”
“Or me pretending to need private fighting lessons.”
A smirk formed on his lips. “I can give you private lessons.”
