Sadness filled his eyes instead of being happy at the compliment that I wanted him that much. “It wasn’t your failing at all, Jasmine. It’s mine. It’s not realizing I had darkness in me like that. You accept your darkness. I’ve spent so many fucking years denying I could have any darkness because that could make me like my father that I turned into a repressed asshole too far on the other side.”
“You’re not that bad,” I said, failing at making light of the conversation or upset at least.
He got in the tub behind me and sat down, clearly wanting me to sit in between his legs. I wanted that closeness after making my point if he was willing, so I took the offer.
“I’m falling in love with you, Jasmine,” he whispered in my ear. “Everything I said wasn’t just drunk rambling.” He moved his hands over my arms and then down along my ribs, cupping my breasts and pulling me to lean back against him. He kissed along my neck as he teased my nipples. “I won’t rush you like they did. I feel too much to make that mistake. I want you happy and happy with me.”
“I want that too.” I reached behind me and moved my hands to his ass, digging in my nails until he hissed. “Please me until you have to wash me and then eat me until I pass out.”
“This demanding side of you is too fucking hot,” he groaned against my skin. “Seriously, it’s making me more desperate for you. Did you get this from me?”
“No,” I chuckled, leaning my head back on his shoulder as his fingers moved to my pussy. “You mumbled in your sleep that you wanted me to be the boss of you and it made me want to a bit. Plus, I figured I got to be demanding if you got me to put a ring on your finger magically.”
He froze. “Is that part of my punishment?”
Even as locked down as he was, I felt his hurt. Shit.
“No, a bad joke. Sorry.” I turned my head and kissed him softly. “Honestly, it’s because you’ve been pushing me to think about what I really want instead of focusing on everyone else. I think you’re right and I do need to do that more. Maybe it’s silly to start like this and mostly with you, but I know you’ll let me. Aidan would. The twins would.”
“If you get shot down when you first start trying it’s going to be—you’ll retreat.”
I nodded, swallowing loudly. Or cut them out like I had Dylan.
No, Dylan was way more complicated than that.
“Focus on me if I’m pleasing you,” Mason demanded.
“Mmm, some of you getting aggressive with me was actually hot. I actually thought about you having me over your lap and spanking me before using the toy on me.” I chuckled when his dick twitched against my back. “Once you settle with some of your demons, the proverbial kind.”
“Did you really like it when Aidan did it to you?” he checked, snorting when my body clenched around his fingers. “Okay then. Good to know.”
“Not all of the time, but the situation was pretty perfect for it and the amount of control and—it was fun.”
“Like fun we’ve had?” he asked under his breath, almost to the point someone sitting that close couldn’t have heard him except my hearing was that good.
“Not much could ever top that first night and what you did to me, Mason. Youtreasuredme. Feeling that as a lust demon is—it’s some of the best orgasms I’ve ever fucking had.”
“I want your body and juices on my tongue more than air,” he breathed in my ear as his desires slammed into me. I came. I fucking orgasmed right there.
Shit, the man really did know how to give me everything I needed.
He took amazing care of me before we fell asleep, which was why I gave him another hand job in the morning. I didn’t let his spunk touch my skin, but I didn’t make it a thing either by turning us at the last minute. I was pretty sure he got the message that I wasn’t allowing it again yet, not that I was giving him a slap like the night before.
He made us a quick breakfast and we got to work on the piles of everything we had. The portal activated, and I glanced over to see Rita come through with storm clouds practically above her head.
She froze, glancing between us. “I apologize. I thought this was still home base. They said to find you here.”
“Yes, but I’m not staying at home base until I settle a bit. I’m also not staying alone in case—until we’re sure I don’t have another mental break,” I explained.
“Oh, child,” she sighed. “I’ve lost count how many mental breaks I’ve had. And I’ve never killed a fucking archangel. Give yourself—you’re doing better than I could at such a young age.” She came over and kissed my hair. “I apologize for just walking in like that.”
I was about to respond, but I realized she was saying it for Mason.
“It’s fine as long as it’s not everyone, and clearly it’s an emergency,” he accepted easily. “Thank you for saying it though.”
“What’s wrong?” I asked her now that we had that handled.
“We do have a problem.”
