Gabriel kissed me with the same heat as before but so tenderly I thought I would melt. His thumb stroked over my clit through my panties, and I whimpered. He kept up that gentle teasing, drawing quiver after quiver out of me. An ache filled my core. I neededhimfilling me.
I wrenched at his boxers, and we wriggled out of our underthings together, almost toppling off the seat in the process. A giddy giggle escaped me before he caught it with a kiss. His lips trailed down my jaw to my neck as he slicked the head of his cock over my clit and down.
He gripped my hip to urge me up to meet him in the cramped space. I clutched his shoulders, and he slid into me with one smooth movement.
A shaky sigh slipped from my lips. I rocked to meet Gabriel’s thrusts, urging him deeper, harder. The heady friction radiated through every nerve. I wanted to feel him everywhere, so deeply I could never forget this moment, even if it couldn’t completely write over what had come before.
“Rose,” Gabriel groaned, plunging far enough that the base of his cock grazed my clit. I arched up, seeking that contact, trembling as the wave of sharper pleasure rolled through me again. He pulled me tight against him, and with his next thrust ecstasy burst through my body. I gasped, my toes curling with it, and Gabriel bucked even faster. His fingers dug into my hip with an enjoyable pain as he spilled himself inside me.
He sagged over me, not quite leaning his weight on my body, and a jolt of concern broke through my joy. “You didn’t push yourself too hard, did you? Your injury—”
“I’m fine,” Gabriel said gently. He eased himself down beside me at the edge of the seat and kissed me. “Straining that wound a little was worth it to start other ones healing.”
Emotion swelled in my chest. “Yeah,” I said, and traced my fingers up his jaw to return that kiss. I was pretty sure I’d be able to drive this car again now. Though maybe not without blushing the first few times.
We cuddled there for a little while, until the awkwardness of the cramped space crept in. Then we eased ourselves upright, exchanging fond glances and smiles as we fumbled back into our clothes. The moment I was dressed, Gabriel pulled me onto his lap and kissed me so thoroughly I was tempted to undress all over again. I reined in my desire.
“You should get some real rest now,” I said, tapping him on the shoulder.
“You too,” he said with a bump of his nose against mine. “It’s been a longer day for you than anyone else.”
I kissed him one more time before he headed up the stairs to his apartment, and then I crossed the yard to the manor to rejoin my other consorts, wherever they’d ended up in the house.
The hall was quiet when I came in. I could give Imogen that call now. I’d just started for my purse where I’d left it on the hall table when the stillness was split by the jangle of my ringtone.
My heart stuttered as I grabbed my phone. Was it the Justice Division calling me in for questioning already? At least I could hope if they were going to arrest me outright, they’d have simply shown up, right?
The number that came up on the screen had the Portland area code. I braced myself and raised the phone to my ear.
“Hello?”
“Lady Hallowell?” a voice said, so rushed it took me a moment before I recognized it. “This is Gwen Remington. We met earlier today on the Frankfords’ property. How much exactly do you know about these demons?”
I blinked, groping for my balance. This wasn’t how I’d expected any call from the Assembly to go. “I, um— A little. Not much more than what’s in the Frankfords’ files. Why?”
“A little is better than nothing,” she said. “I think we’re going to need your help. The creatures have broken through their portal.”
