And fuck me that was almost as good as her cunt tasted.

Almost.

I blinked slowly, “I am yours, Bailey. Yours to command. Yours to fuck,” I said that one with a smirk at me, “Yours to someday,maybe, love.”

A corner of her mouth lifted. I wanted to press a kiss there, where the soft pink of her lips met her fair skin. “Just like that?”

I huffed a short laugh, “Just like that. When the fates set two upon the same path, there’s little anyone can do about it.”

Bailey’s golden brows rose. “The fates? Not Fate the all-encompassing entity.”

I leaned forward, loving the slight chill that shook her shoulders when I got close. My forehead bumped hers, her scent growing ever more delicious. “What if I told you they were the same thing? That the fates who live in my world are what those in your world call predetermined events?”

Her mouth parted, “Fascinating.” She swallowed, her eyes roaming my face, “And I want to know more, but first…either use those amazing fingers on me again or you need to back up. I can’t focus when you’re so close.”

My cock ached at her words and the groan that slipped out of my mouth was rough. “Bailey...”

She licked her lips, drawing my attention again, “Your choice, fingers or space. I’m up for either.”

My brain attempted to think, but for a long moment all I could think about was I could have her legs over my shoulders in an instant, my tongue in her the next.

Bailey must’ve seen something on my face change, but I heard the soft whimper that escaped her lips. For some reason, it broke the spell on me, and I heaved myself backwards. My dick might fall off waiting, but there was no way I was getting involved here. I reached down, my hand finding hers and towing her up against my body. Her hands landed on my chest with a soft ‘oomph’, and I nearly purred at her touch.

“We need a few things, in this order,” I said to her, letting my hand cup her cheek, feeling the lingering heat under that beautiful hair, “Are you listening, mate?”

She nodded, but her eyes were a little foggy as they found mine. I laughed, my thumb adjusting to brush over her bottom lip. “Pay attention, and you’ll get a reward.”

Her tongue slipped out, brushing against my thumb for an instant before I hissed at her, “Be good.”

Bailey smiled, but looked more focused as I started speaking again. “We are going to talk first, and I’m going to explain what would happen should you ever beg me to fuck you again. And then, if you are not already running away from me, then we will need a bed, two days and at least one change of clothes.”

I ran my free hand down her body to where her skirt was still hiked high. “You are going to learn to take all of me, beautiful, and it’s going to be messy.”

Bailey’s pupils were blown wide and black, the bond between us growing sharp again. “Talk. Fuck. Bed. Mess,” she repeated, her blunt little teeth nibbling on her bottom lip as she said the last words.

“Good girl,” I murmured, leaning in to run my nose across hers. “Now, how do we get out of this place?"

At that, a smile broke over her lovely face, a moment later, a hand clapped over her mouth, “Oh my gosh, do you think anyone heard me? Was I loud?”

I couldn’t help myself; I smiled down at her, “No, those sounds are only for me,” I watched her cheeks pinked once again, “At least for now.”

With a gentle push, Bailey stepped back from me, and my body immediately clamored to close the gap again. Clamping down on my instincts, I settled for stepping behind her, my hand on her lower back and gesturing to the door.

“While I am here for you, you are the only one who can see me.”

“So, you’re just going to come to my desk for,” She glanced down at the glowing silver rectangle she’d grabbed from a cabinet, “three and a half more hours.”

I shrugged, “I spend more than that waiting for people in the dream realm. I will be able to watch you, to see what you do in this world. Nothing will make me happier than to spend time with you.”

Her face is slack, “Are you for real?”

“I am. Why?”

“Because no man would ever act like this. I feel like you’re about to prank me or something.”

This woman, she didn’t understand. But she would. I would show her. “No human man,” I said moving forward, and she followed suit, “Where I am from, women, mates are coveted, loved, protected. Your partner is your purpose.”

Bailey opened the door, letting both of us slip out into a thankfully unoccupied hallway. “Are you sure that no one can see you?”
