Angelina skimmed her fingers through his damp hair.“I’m even more honored to listen, then,” she finally said, her voice pulling him from the memory as she nuzzled his cheek, her wild hair tickling his neck.“I think it must have been hard to know how to grow into a man when you didn’t have one around to show you.And since Birch and Winter stepped up to be the men they needed to be when they were still children without a role model themselves, it’s no wonder you saw what they did and sought to emulate it.”

Angelina knew herwords had struck a chord with River when she found herself hauled to her feet by a soaking wet man, his lips devouring her while bath water and bubbles sloshed and pooled at their feet.Demanding as his kiss was, his fingers were gentle as they tugged at the elastic holding her hair back, a low growl rumbling through his chest when she yanked it out herself.
His tongue trailed along her throat to her earlobe, his naked, wet body pressed tight to her.“You’re so fucking incredible.”
“And you’re going to freeze,” she panted, grabbing a towel and tossing it around him, using the edges to hold him to her.When he responded with another searing kiss that curled her toes and left her more breathless than before, she nudged him toward the door, obliging when he pulled her shirt up and tossed it on the floor.“The candles in the lanterns are battery-operated but the rest—”
With a huff, he walked to the counter and blew them out one by one, giving her a moment to appreciate the unimpeded view of his ass until the last one was extinguished and he caught her standing in the doorway with her arms crossed, blatantly admiring him.He stalked over to her, stopping just out of her reach.“I’m laying out my official promise to fuck you all night.”
Licking her lips, she lifted a brow in challenge.“I heard from a reliable source that that promise shouldn’t be made lightly.Are you sure you’re up for it?”
Without breaking eye contact, he palmed his heavy erection.“I hereby give you the Baker satisfaction guarantee.”
“Let’s see what you can do.”
He was on her in an instant, easing her into her room until her legs made contact with her bed and she broke their kiss to sit, crawling backwards while his eyes raked over her.“Will this affect our landlady-tenant relationship?”
“We’ll chalk it up to an Indulgence Night activity,” she replied, her smile matching his.
Although she expected River would live up to his word, she didn’t expect him to remain at the foot of her bed, his gaze hungry and intense while he stood there studying her.
“I don’t even know where to start,” he suddenly said running a hand through his hair and giving her an amazing view of his muscled arms and stomach.“There isn’t a single inch of you I don’t want to taste and my head is fucking short-circuiting trying to decide where to begin.”He put one knee on the mattress and splayed his hands across her thighs, gripping her roughly for a moment before he released her.“Roll over.”
Turning onto her stomach, she flipped her hair over her shoulder and tucked her hands under her head.She could feel him prowl up alongside and straddle her, sitting back on his haunches as his hands smoothed up her spine, unhooking her bra with practiced ease.The weight of his cock lay heavy and hot on her tailbone, a reminder of his promise as his thumbs massaged her neck and slowly worked their way down her back.He increased the pressure, adding the palm of his hands and his fingers until she melted into the mattress with a contented sigh.
She was an absolute puddle by the time River’s skilled hands were done massaging her spine, neck, and arms, leaving her body so relaxed she wasn’t sure she would be able to move without help.His touch was firm and chaste, his focus on the knots in her shoulders and along the small of her back bringing her to a state of relaxation she hadn’t realized was possible.
One hand slid up to grip her hair as he lowered his head to her ear.“Up on your elbows.”
Obeying, she pushed herself up enough to arch her back, inhaling sharply when he released her hair and brushed it to the side, his lips on the nape of her neck while his hand moved to cup her breast.
“The first time I saw you, I wanted this incredible mane of yours in my fist,” he growled as his fingers alternated between caressing and pinching her nipple.“Now I want it spread across your pillow while I bury myself inside you.”His hips pressed against her, his length hard and heated against her ass.“I want my fingers tangled in it when I kiss you.”His tongue and lips were traveling along her shoulders, his teeth grazing her sensitized skin and making her clench her thighs together in an effort to relieve the growing ache in her core.“I want my hands in it while you’re on your knees taking me into that incredible mouth.”
As someone who’d used her words and voice for years to bring clients to the peak, she knew the strength the two had together.But to have River wielding the combination while his strong body lay on her gave her a new appreciation for the power it held.When paired with the touch of his hand on her breast and the sensation of his lips and tongue on her skin, he was bringing her closer and closer to the edge.
“That mouth,” he groaned, rocking against her and burying his face in her hair.“You fucking torment me with it.”He gripped her tightly to him for a moment, as though needing to channel the pent-up energy he had into her.“I want to kiss it.Taste it.Fuck it.And I want to hear your voice while I do it all.”Releasing her, his fingers continued to tease her nipple while she whimpered, her body beginning to tense up.“I want that mouth on my throat.I want those teeth on my skin.”She grasped at the sheets and dropped her forehead to her pillow, her arms trembling as she fought to hold herself up.“I want my name on those lips every fucking time you come for me, Angel.”
The first wave of her orgasm crashed over her as she moaned his name, his strong arm wrapping tight around her as her own gave out.She could hear him murmuring in her ear while she rode it out, his erotic growls continuing until she sunk into the mattress with the last of the tremors.
Coming to her senses under his weight, she nudged him off her and rolled onto her back, sliding the tangled bra straps off her arms and tossing the bra aside as she met River’s heated gaze.Licking her lips, she stood up and backed away from the bed, beckoning him to her with one finger.
Without a word, he pushed himself to his feet and stalked toward her, his breath hitching when she ran her hands through her hair and sank to her knees.

River clenched histeeth as Angelina’s delicate fingers gripped him and her tongue took its first swipe along his length, his control already precarious.“Angel, honey?”he ground out, inhaling sharply when her tongue swirled the tip.“I—”
All words left him as she took him into her mouth, the combination of hot and wet leaving him gasping in a fruitless attempt to take charge over his libido.He slid both hands into her hair and she hummed, sending shivers from his cock straight down to his toes.Channeling all his focus into maintaining a gentle grasp of her locks, he watched her take him in slowly, the mischievous glint in her amber eyes imprinting into his memories while she found her rhythm.
She alternated between sucking and licking, keeping her pace leisurely and holding him in stasis until her ruthless side took over and she took him deep into her throat.
“Holy fuck,” he panted, his knees almost giving out.“Angel.Baby.Jesus.I—”
He could hear himself rambling as she cupped his balls and tugged gently, the sensation involuntarily tightening his grip on her hair.He released his hold and flexed his hands, groaning when she covered one of his hands with hers and moved it back into place while she continued to work him without mercy.
Every nerve in his body was lit up, his muscles tensing as he grew closer and closer to detonating like a goddamn grenade.The pressure of her tongue amped up and he squeezed his eyes shut, moaning out a warning.When her only response was to dig her nails into his ass to keep him where she wanted him, he released with a string of curses and borderline incoherent praises for her and whatever deity had brought her to him.Forcing his eyes open, he watched as she kept a vice grip on him with her lips until he came down, his breathing labored and heavy as he untangled his fingers from her hair.
