He swallowed loudly. “Touch me, Jasmine. Please?”
Gladly. I pulled him out of his pants and kissed him as I stroked him.
And then I let him finish on my skin by my hand which was a thing with warlocks. He could track me again and we had a connection. We probably still did from the other thing he’d done to trick me, but this time it was about more than that and that I was letting him back in.
“You won’t regret it,” he promised after he recovered.
“If you make me, I don’t know that I’ll be able to let you back in, Mason,” I warned. It wasn’t an ultimatum or a threat. It was a worry because of the place I was at mentally and emotionally.
I was glad when he seemed to understand that.
“You’re exhausted,” he whispered as he stood with me wrapped around him. “I’m sorry I didn’t notice sooner. I’m sorry I was so selfish.”
“You’re going through something, and I appreciate you trying so hard to accept this because I need it. I like this part of my life a lot,” I muttered, kissing along his neck as he carried me to the bedroom and then master bathroom. “That’s not being selfish.”
He didn’t say anything, probably thinking he should have done better. Maybe, but we all did the best we could. Mason was by far the harshest critic of himself.
And it was a flaw I had too, so if I was saying someone was too hard on themselves, they really should listen.
He started the bath and let me soak before going for the food. When he got back, he washed me, promising to do my hair in the morning before lifting me out and drying me. “Why are you so extra tired tonight? Did something happen?”
“Bitches being petty,” I grumbled but then snorted. “And my stupid pride.”
I told him as we ate and he seemed amused. No one was perfect, but he appreciated it when I gave it back to people. Plus, he was a supportive partner and was on my side.
I thought we were just going to bed after that, but no, that wasn’t enough for Mason to spoil me. He ate me out and used that amazing rechargeable wand on me until I couldn’t stand it.
“Thanks for trusting me again,” he whispered as we snuggled down for bed.
“I want this to work,” I told him as I hugged his arm around me. “I need you, Mason. Please. You’re the only reason I’ve made it through all of this.”
“You’re doing great.”
Apparently, he really wanted me to know that because I woke the next morning getting more of that amazing treatment. When he was done, I pushed him back to the bed and straddled his head.
“Clean up the mess you made.”
“Gladly,” he groaned.
When we were done, I realized there was something I really wanted. I brought us into the bathroom and started the shower. “I did something a long time ago that I’m not proud of. It bothers me that I did it still and I’ve always felt that… I gave up?” I shook my head when he opened his mouth. “I sold my first time.”
He swallowed loudly. “Why?”
I did a double take, realizing he was upset not because I’d taken money for sex, but because I was in a bad place. “It was how I got to Europe—Germany and did what I… I saved it for a while and fed…” I shook my head. “So much went wrong after the wolves took me. I hid among humans, but they were just as bad. Someone told me everyone was going to fuck me over and I might as well get paid for it.”
“And you listened,” he said quietly.
I nodded but checked the water when his stare was too intense. “He was a married man who wanted to keep me like a mistress. It wasn’t… Owen said something about my just defaulting to sex because of what I am.”
“You get that’s why I’ve taken the path I did too, right?” he hedged. “It wasn’t just about me and testing myself.”
I nodded and stripped before getting under the water. I about checked my mouth for drool as Mason did the same. He stuck his head under the stream and then pushed back his brown hair, looking delicious as water dripped all under him.
“When you stare at me, I feel like everything bad anyone has ever said about me was such nonsense that I can’t believe I ever listened,” he whispered as he moved closer. He cupped my cheek. “I will give you the first time you never had, muffin. I get what you want and are trying to say. Tell me when you’re ready, and it will be like our first time, not just our first time together.”
I searched his eyes. “You don’t think it’s stupid to try that?”
“No.” He said it so easily, but with such confidence, that something relaxed around my heart.
