He worked his way across her body, and Lia moaned in an agony of pleasure as he sank his mouth onto her pussy. His tongue explored her, and it was all she could do to keep from crying out. Lia bit her lip and arched back, her hips rolling involuntarily, fucking his face like she had all the control of a wild animal. His tongue was beyond anything she’d ever experienced, and she came hard, gasping and clenching at his hair. She was panting as he freed himself from her grasp.
She made a noise and realized that wasn’t really a word, so sheheld out her hands, begging him to come to her. He grinned as he stripped out of his briefs, cocky and smug in his effect on her. She growled, and his grin widened—this time in sheer joy.
Then he pounced, leaping through the air and she let out a little squeak of surprise, flattening herself into the bed and squeezing her eyes closed.
He landed on her, but caught himself so that she had no more impact than a sudden hug. “Yes, love,” he said, his voice was laced through with laughter. “Here I am.” He ended with a kiss that became more intense as she held him there.
He ground himself against her, licking her neck, letting his teeth brush up against her collarbone. Lia sighed out in one long exhalation of gratification as he slid gently inside of her. She pulled her legs up to his sides, squeezing him tight with her thighs. He growled his pleasure at that and a shiver of excitement ran through her at the sound – making her let out a gasping cry. He growled again, driving into her with more force. She bit her lip, trying to keep quiet. His wildness excited her like no one she’d ever been with. He ducked down, kissing her, forcing her mouth to open. She realized he wanted her to make noise and she might have commented if she’d had any air left. She moaned as he pushed faster. She’d already come once. Ordinarily she wouldn’t have expected anything more, but the way he moved made her feel like there was water in her bones and she was on fire at the same time. She could feel herself building toward another pinnacle and wanted it so badly.
“Please don’t stop,” she begged. His reassuring growl told her that he had no intention of doing anything of the kind. She gave up all pretense at control and clung to him, letting him have every inch of her. He thrust into her hard and wild and for a moment she hung there, wanting that feeling of almost breaking to be her existence forever and then she came with a sharp cry, biting down onto his shoulder, as her entire body seemed toclench and throb.
The room was dark when she opened her eyes. The moon must have moved. He adjusted slightly, pulling out of her but still making contact.
“Hold me tight,” she ordered, her voice a husky whisper, and he immediately moved to obey. She snuggled against him as he pulled the covers up around them. She knew she ought to get up and clean herself up if nothing else. They hadn’t used condoms. She was too tired to feel guilty about that. She was on birth control shots, so at least that wouldn’t be a problem, but she should move before they made a wet spot. Instead, she rested her head against his chest and listened to his heartbeat and the waves outside the window. Alekos Ash was wildly dangerous. She could see it. But when he held her, she felt safe. Safer than she had in years. Her world got stranger every day.
Episode 25
Rules
Alex
Alex woke to the usual raucous cawing of seabirds, and as usual, he burrowed into his pillows, resentful of their noise. But this morning, his bed had Eliandra in it. He rubbed his face into her hair, inhaling her scent, but trying not to wake her up. He wrapped himself around her, holding her with an almost giddy sense of happiness. It was a strange feeling, and he knew he ought to be more cautious—take things slower. But he couldn’t. She was like a drug, and he wanted more.
He felt the moment she woke up. She tensed, going from sleep to wariness in between breaths. He rumbled out reassurance in a growl, and then, inch by inch, she relaxed again.
“Alekos,” she whispered, kissing his chest. The voluntary gesture of intimacy thrilled him.
“Lia,” he whispered back, crooking a finger under her chin to pull her head up so he could kiss her mouth. She relaxed still further as her mouth opened, her body meeting his.
His fingers traced the curve of her neck and shoulder. She shivered as his hand brushed across her breast. He cupped the entire breast instead of teasing it with a feather touch and ducked his head down further to kiss the nipple in apology. She gave a soft moan and looped a leg over his hips.
He growled in pleasure. He liked it when she wrapped herself around him like that. Her fingers ruffled through his hair, making it stand up. The sensation made him shiver in turn, and she giggled softly. She made soft swirls with her fingers as he kissed her neck.
“Alekos,” she whispered breathlessly, pulling him tighter withher leg.
He teased his cock across her center, and she moaned and arched. He pushed into her, and she gave a little gasp that delighted him. The sound of her pleasure made him feel both wild and centered at once—like he was chaos and control at the same time. Time seemed to have stopped as they moved together. Lia flailed, her breath coming in sharp gasps as her fingers found his. He locked his fingers through hers, and she let out a softyes.She needed him to hold onto her. He slid his other hand underneath her and took a handful of ass. Her near swear word that only came out as a groan was all he needed to know, that it was what she wanted.
He thrust deeper, feeling her tighten and whimper. She was close, which was good because he didn’t have much longer. He reared back, looking down at her as she came. Watching her come was what he needed to bring his own release. They lay together, tangled and sweaty, fumbling to pull each other closer.
It might have been an eternity later, when the sun painted the room gold, that Lia finally let him go. Reluctantly, he copied her, and she sat up, pushing through the puffy duvet. She stumbled out of bed and into the bathroom. He listened to the calling gulls and waves and waited for her to return. He knew he ought to get out of bed too, but he didn’t want to. The bed smelled like her, and he rubbed his face across the pillow, stretching starfish-like across the entire mattress. He wanted his skin to smell like her for the rest of the day.
The pack would be needing breakfast soon. Everyone took turns making dinner, but Alex liked to make sure everyone started the day with a solid meal. Making breakfast meant he got to see all of them before the day pulled them off in separate directions. Sometimes he got to hear about Hudson’s latest video project or meet whatever special someone—or someones—Sebastian had brought home the night before. And sometimes itwas his moment to connect with Pellos about work or hear about Killian’s latest epicurean discovery. Breakfast was his moment to genuinely see everyone, and he cherished it—it was one of the things that made him feel like a proper alpha. But this morning, Alex didn’t want to get out of bed.
She came out of the bathroom, and he watched her out of one eye, not wanting to raise his face from the pillows. She refused to look his direction and went to find her dress on the floor. She wasn’t going to come back to bed, and he sighed and turned over.
She pulled on her dress, blushing as she tied the straps around her neck.
“Don’t look at me like that,” she ordered.
“Like what?” he asked.
“Like you want me to get back into bed,” she said.
“But I do,” he said, grinning.
She smiled and shook her head, but he could see she was working to say something. He sat up and tossed the covers off, looking for some pants or underwear. He felt like he’d like to be more dressed when she tried to tell him she was leaving again. He grabbed a pair of sweats from the back of a chair, and she waited until he had them on before speaking.
“This isn’t permanent,” she said, facing him squarely. “I’m going to do your translating. But I’m basically just on my way to Athens. I need to get my passport replaced, and then I’m going to figure out how to be a translator at the U.N.”
