With the meeting over, Jordan and her colleagues were discussing past contracts. The conversation died immediately when I entered, all sets of vampire eyes fixed on the only human in the room.
Jordan looked up when I sat down at the table, raising a suspicious brow. “And just where have you been, exactly?”
I played innocent, widening my eyes to the size of saucers. “I went to get some coffee. Nowhere else.”
“Oh really.” Jordan played along with my act, a smirk twitching the corner of her lips. “I don’t see any coffee.”
“That’s because I drank it,” I chirped, jutting out my chin and leaning back in my seat. “You know how much I like my coffee.”
“All right,” Jordan chided, her eyes flicking to my sweater and back again, “then explain the cat hair. Did you wander into a nursing home on your quest for coffee?”
“This is an old sweater.” I fumbled for an explanation, tugging at the threads that Brunhilda’s claws had pulled loose. “It’s always been like this. The stray hair gives it a rustic vibe.”
Unconvinced, Jordan rounded the table, ignoring the bemused expressions of her colleagues. She came to stand in front of me, folding her arms. “What are you up to, Sky?”
“Nothing.” I cracked a smile, my good mood betraying me. “I just made a new friend.”
Chapter 21
JORDAN
Sky’seyesflutteredopenand she eyed me from under the covers.
The morning light shone through the window and cast a glow around the room, illuminating her hair with a golden hue. I rolled onto my side, settling with my head propped on my fist to soak in the beautiful woman before me.
“Good morning,” she said through a yawn, nestling in the crook of my arm. “Have you been watching me all night?”
“No.” I chuckled, taking her delicate chin in my hand and pulling our lips together. “Just for most of the morning.”
The kiss was soft and gentle, careful as if the woman in my arms was made of glass. Sky melted under my touch, resting a hand against my chest. Something had changed between us. The bond that had drawn us together had strengthened tenfold, wound and braided with complete trust and utter devotion.
I pulled back to examine my mate, holding her chin in my hand and gazing into her eyes. Sky drew in her breath quickly with a quiet whimper, registering the intention in my expression.
With a seductive smirk, I tilted her head back slowly, exposing the woman’s neck. I pressed kisses down the delicate skin of her throat before gentleness gave way to hunger and my lips found hers again. Sky clumsily obliged as I pulled her closer. She clung to me, lips locked like the air in my lungs belonged to her. She hungrily welcomed my tongue between her lips.
I reached my hand into her hair and pulled her out of the kiss. A little shining trail of spit connected us, and Sky watched me with half-lidded eyes, her lips parted slightly as she panted.
I placed my thumb on the woman’s tongue and idly stroked it back and forth.
“Do you trust me?” I whispered the words, analyzing the desperate desire that burned in her eyes.
I watched the inhibition leave her as Sky relented to the need of her body, her rattled answer barely audible. “Completely.”
Slowly, she closed her lips around my thumb. Her tongue grazed over the appendage. Her eagerness caught me by surprise, and my body flushed hotter than before, spiking down my torso and lighting a fire between my legs.
“Good answer,” I whispered hoarsely, and traced my thumb around the woman’s mouth. Sky closed her eyes and leaned her face against my hand.
With barely contained eagerness, I slid my hands beneath her shirt, pulling the fabric over her head. Her blonde hair spilled over her bare shoulders, pale strands on paler skin.
My hand moved to caress her by the small of her back and I closed my lips around one of her plush pink nipples, eliciting a whimpering moan from Sky. Smiling to myself, I teased the sensitive bud with my tongue, pressing my body to hers as she squirmed.
Every moan of pleasure from the woman in my arms spread warmth between my thighs. Sky was unraveling before me, and every small surrender on her part spurred me on.
Pushing myself upright, I sat Sky against the headboard of the bed, pulling my own blouse before gently removing her underwear, drinking in the sight of her porcelain legs spread before me.
There was not a sharp edge to be found across her unblemished body. Between her legs rested a small spattering of downy blonde hair, barely concealing the sensitive skin below it.
Sky’s cheeks burned a rosy pink and her nipples hardened while I observed her exposed figure. She lifted her arms, wrapping them around herself as she stared at the ceiling. “How come I’m naked and you’re not.”
