“Now what?” she asks, only now wrapping the sheet around her chest.

“Now we sell the fact we’ve been fucking hard all night.”

She cocks an eyebrow. “And how do you suggest we do that?”

“You look too rested to sell it.”

“Which is a surprise considering I spent most of the night awake and thinking of ways to murder you in your sleep while making it look like an accident. I’m exhausted from all the possibilities.”

As much as my expression says otherwise, I enjoy Belle’s smart mouth. Every time she fights me, I enjoy the thought of punishing her.

I indicate to the large space between us. Any further away from me and she’d fall off the bed. “You’re gonna need to come closer.”

Begrudgingly, she obliges.

But it’s not quite close enough.

“Closer,” I say.

She inches nearer.

“Closer…”

Another inch. Her big blue eyes are defiant until I reach for her and drag her over to me.

“You animal,” she protests.

I chuckle because her mouth is fighting me. But her body isn’t. She settles in beside me and entangles her legs through mine.

“How’s this?” she asks.

“Good but…” I cup her jaw with my hand and claim her lips with mine, driving my tongue in. I kiss her hard and deep and at first she is stiff and unresponsive. But then she softens in my hands,her body melting against me, her lips moving with mine.Her nipples harden to peaks and brush against my skin.

I cup her ass and pull her onto my lap.

I’m hard as fuck, and she can feel it. But I don’t give a fuck and neither does she.

She pushes her fingers through my hair and groans into the kiss as her hips start to rock against me.

The kiss grows deeper, and her little whimpers make me want to reach between us, unzip my jeans, push aside her damp panties, and plunge into her wet pussy.

I groan.

I did this to rattle her.

But I’m the one being rattled.

And now my cock feels like it’s going to explode, so I break off the kiss and let her go.

She flops onto the bed beside me and looks up at me with large eyes full of heat, her cheeks flushed.

I should keep my distance but I can’t help myself.

She likes to poke the bear, and this bear likes to poke right back.

I brush my lips to her ear. “Now you look like you’ve been fucked hard.”

If it’s possible, her cheeks redden even more.
