“Teamwork makes people grow close. I want you and your man not to be surprised when he’s balls deep in you, and you call out my name.” He bit my earlobe and sucked it lightly.
My clit thumped as I imagined War inside me. The image, along with his overwhelming presence, had me squirming and shifting my hips.
He released my lobe and rubbed the wet spot with his fingers. I turned to him with my mouth open.
No,he didn’t.
As I tried to recompose myself, War positioned his lips inappropriately close to mine.
“Do you like me shocking you?” His low voice reminded me of a lion’s purr.
I smiled, unable to lie as he stimulated all my senses.
“I’m a red-blooded woman who enjoys passionate exchanges, so yes.”
“Passionate exchanges, huh?”
War cupped my chin and turned my head toward him with his fingers. I opened my mouth slightly, a combination of shock and anticipation at the close-up view of his flawless skin and perfect features. He drew his lips in and then licked them, making them wet and shiny. I unconsciously licked mine too. My throat suddenly felt dry, although I had been drinking water all night.
Before I gathered my thoughts, War brushed his lips so lightly over mine, I wondered if he touched me. I anticipated him doing it again, but he hovered inches away with his breath and body smelling like temptation. We were crossing boundaries, and I liked it.
“Do you have a woman?” I moved closer and asked the question directly into his lips.
It felt like the proper thing to ask.
He chuckled, then sat back.
“I always have a woman.” He reached for my hand and kissed my inner wrist. “But I’m only trying to get up under one.”
Goodness, War was smoother than the finest silk.
“Only one?” I raised my eyebrows, my eyes searching his.
I was playing with fire, but I didn’t care.
“Yeah. I need to keep my distance, though, because what I do with her could bond us for life.”
“Like matching tattoos?” I asked the question innocently.
War flashed his canines and lowered his eyes to my hips, leaning back and letting his eyes roam over my lower body.
“Naw. I’d be more interested in tattooing my lady’s fat ass.”
War raised his eyebrow and held my eyes.
I opened my eyes wide.
He broke his posture, then threw his head back, laughing so loudly it eventually had me giggling too.
“I’m going to enjoy you so much,” he said, brushing his fingers over my chin.
I fiddled with the chain of my thin gold necklace with one hand and picked up my water glass with the other. As I took a big drink, I reveled in the rush of my engagement with War. The little girl in me was pleased that I pleased him.
“We need to focus,” I said the words out loud more for myself than for him.
“Okay, but for the record, I am focusing.” His eyes raked over my breasts. “On you.”
I straightened my body and then wiped the side of my mouth with my fingers.
