Page 33 of Caution

I recognized the ridiculousness of it and didn’t care.

I dug my fingers into the soft coils of his hair and pressed him in further, deeper, back arching as he brought his tongue and fingers into the mix, licking and finger-fucking me into an orgasm that had me screaming myself hoarse.

I was drenched in sweat and pleasure by the time he straightened, lining his dick up to bury in me again. He poked the thick, heavy head right at my opening, but no further, meeting my gaze.

Saying nothing.

His eyes locked with mine as he fisted his dick, rubbing it against my clit—good, but not enough.

I was…hungry.

Ready.

Willing.

“What’s the magic word?” he asked, smirking. Even though I knew it was a concession, nothing could’ve kept me from giving him exactly what he was asking for.

“Please.”

Nine

Roses smelledawful.

So much that it caught me off guard, making me stagger backward as I stepped into my greenhouse.

Now that I was finally back in the “real world”, I’d remembered I had clients waiting on me, flower arrangements to make. The arrangements I’d planned to make the night that…everythinghappened.

Everything changed.

Including my perception of time, apparently, because I would’ve sworn I’d been laid up fucking my new vampire husband for at least a week, but somehow… it was just a day.

Not even a day.

Just a night, full ofso much.

Too much.

And yet, I had to push through.

Celeste’s commercial kitchen.

“So you suck blood now, bitch?!” I whisper-yelled, sneaking up once I’d confirmed no one was in earshot.

Shaking her head as she looked up, she grinned. “I hear I could accuse you of the same damn thing, friend. Welcome to the fold.”

My eyes went wide. “Welcome to the fold? That is an insane statement. This whole thing is insane. Did you know this? When you catered that thing at his house? I mean, you had to know, right?”

“Bitch?” She laughed. “I would absolutelynothave gone to that house, are you loco?”

“No, I’m not. I’m half vampire, half…eonianis what they keep calling it. Or maybe full vampire now? I don’t know. Do you know?”

“I don’t, I’m sorry.” She chuckled. “I’m still learning too. But… shoutout to us, I guess?”

I nodded. “Yeah, but like… what about Riv?” I asked, referring to our other homegirl, a supplier who worked atSomething Bluewith us. “You already abandoned us once you becameMrs. Black. Now I’m doing the same thing?”
