The thought of hidingthat, of pleasuring Rose without them realizing how far I was taking it, sent an unexpected thrill through me. I tipped my head back from hers. At the same moment I let my hand slide up from her waist. My body would block it from the view of anyone on the road.
“I want you, right here, right now.”
“Seth!” She clamped her lips to muffle a gasp as my fingers traced over the tip of her breast. Her nipple hardened beneath the fabric of her thin dress and bra. I flicked my thumb over it, and she couldn’t quite swallow a whimper. Her eyes had hazed with desire.
I lowered my head to claim her lips again as I fondled that breast. The little noises Rose made against my mouth turned me on even more. Her hips moved against mine in a stuttered rocking motion as she tried to hold them still. Damn, this woman set me on fire without even trying.
My hand trailed back down to the hem of her dress. It nudged the silky fabric up inch by inch to bare her thigh while mine shielded her. My fingers came to rest on the dampness at the base of her panties, and she nicked my lip with her teeth as she bit back a moan. Her eyelids fluttered. I dipped my head even farther to kiss her neck, and she peeked over my shoulder.
“They’re gone,” she gasped out, arching into my touch more fully. “I can’t see them any—”
I didn’t need to hear the rest of that sentence. With a heft of my arms, I’d scooped her up and swept her around to the back of the truck. The tailgate dropped with a clang. I sat her on the edge, her dress shoved up to her hips. Her legs splayed around my thighs.
“Is this okay?” I managed to ask. “Please.” I was burning to be inside her. Burning with the exhilaration of letting all this affection free.
Rose licked her lips, and my cock strained even harder as I followed that movement. “If someone else comes by…”
“They probably won’t. It’s a quiet road. And if they do we’ll hear them coming before they can see much.”
I stroked my hand between her legs again, and she let out her whimper. Then she was dragging my mouth to hers in the clearest answer she could have given me.
I wrenched her panties down as she unsnapped my jeans. Her fingers closed around my cock, and I groaned. With each pump of her hand, another wave of bliss rushed through me. I crushed my lips against hers and guided myself to the deepest slickness at her core.
Rose gasped as I thrust inside her. She hooked her legs behind me to pull me even deeper. Her fingers clung to the back of my neck, tangled in my rumpled shirt, as I plunged again and again into the beautiful bliss that was my lover.
My consort. My wife, in every way that mattered.
“I love you too,” she murmured, and moaned as I thrust faster. Her breath turned shaky. I kissed her, a crash of lips. My hand slid down so I could circle her nub with my thumb, drawing every bit of ecstasy into her that I could.
Rose arched into me over and over with those ragged breaths, and then she clenched around me. The bliss of her release sang through the quiver of her muscles, the cry that broke from her throat. My balls squeezed, and I spilled myself into her, riding my own wave of pleasure.
I held her to me as we both came down from our peaks, my cheek resting against hers. “No matter what happens,” I said, “I’m here with you. And I couldn’t be more honored to be here.”
Chapter Twenty-Six
Rose
Iswiveled on the smooth hardwood of the private magicking room that was now mine, channeling heat and energy from my spark through my body and out into the world. Every shred of my attention was focused on the images I’d been able to dig up of a little cottage near the Canadian border that belonged to one of the Frankfords’ regular associates.
We’d checked to make sure no one was there right now. And I wasn’t going to burn the whole thing down anyway. Just set up one of the outbuildings, a shed or a garage, in flames. Make them think I was on the attack in some erratic fashion.
I couldn’t deny it was kind of satisfying even destroying a few minor pieces of their lives.
A flare from my spark seared through me. I hurled it across all those miles with the strength of my will and my concentration. As it left me, my legs sagged. I let myself sink to the floor.
I’d only managed a few of these castings since I’d gotten the idea a couple days ago, and not just because the black widow venom was still wearing off. Throwing even a small spell that far took a lot of effort.
After a few minutes catching my breath, I pushed myself to my feet and headed out to shower and change. As I scooped up my handbag, a phone chimed from inside it. My legs locked.
That wasn’t the chime I had set on the new burner Ky had picked up for me after Frankford’s taunting. It was the old one, the one our greatest enemy had reached us at, which I was still carrying in case he texted me again. As much as his threats had pricked at me, I couldn’t lose the chance to get any information he might let slip.
Had he heard about the fire already? It seemed unlikely anyone would have noticed and contacted anyone that quickly.
I fished out the phone and braced myself before looking at the screen. But the message there made me frown in confusion rather than bristle. It was an unfamiliar number, but not an unlisted one like Frankford had used.
Follow the page that called me to you.
Follow the— My pulse stuttered. My gaze rose to the door to the larger magicking room down the hall where I’d practiced those dual forms with Gabriel—where I’d asked him if he still had that page fromThe Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobethat I’d given him all that time ago.
