He promised to teach me how to do my other job the next day, and after we set our dishes on the floor next to our bed, he pulled me into his arms and held me close.

Something about the physical contact was exactly what I needed.

I held him tightly, closing my eyes and breathing in his scent. Though I was still wearing nothing but my panties and top, there was nothing sexual about the moment.

It was just nice.

Really nice.

“You smell like peppermint,” Damian murmured into my hair.

“I’ve been adding it to my water like it’s going out of style.”

He chuckled. “It’s a nice scent.” His hand moved slowly over my back, and we fell quiet for a few minutes before he admitted, “I’m glad you’re here with me.”

“I am too.”

My admission felt big.

Important.

And I wasn’t sure how to feel about that.

Thankfully, Damian gave me the best kind of distraction

His lips brushed my ear. “Open your legs for me, little siren.”

It was technically a command… but one I wanted to follow.

So, I did.

One of his hands smoothed over my ass and slipped between my thighs, rubbing over my center lightly through my panties. “That feel good?”

“So good,” I whispered.

“Open wider.”

I followed the order.

His lips brushed my cheek before his fingers finally dipped beneath the hem of the fabric between us, brushing over my wet heat.

I pressed my forehead to his throat a little harder as my hips arched, moving with his hand. He murmured, “Take what you need.”

I pulled on his emotions without hesitation.

Lust.

Gratitude.

Devotion.

His magic flooded me as he bit down on my throat, and I sucked in a breath.

If I’d been in my right mind, the intensity of his feelings would’ve caught me off guard. But with his teeth in my veins and the hunger in my lower belly, I was lost in the ocean of his emotions.

I drank while he touched me, sending my orgasm spiraling through me fast. I cried out in pleasure as I came, my body tightening around nothing.

I wanted him.
