Livia smiled. “I know it sounds ridiculous, but it means a lot to me. And it doesn’t hurt, Mr. Renaud, that you aregorgeous. Seriously, look at you—whowouldn’tcome?”
“Ha, ha,” he brushed off her compliment, embarrassed. “Liv, you know how you said you wanted honesty? That goes for when we’re in bed too. If I do anything you don’t like,tellme.”
“And the sametoyou.”
“Deal”
She snuggled into his arms. “So, what do you want todonow?”
Nox kissed her. “I’m starving, actually. Want something to eat and I’ll give you a tour of the rest of thehouse?”
Livia stuck her tongue in her cheek. “As long as you promise to show me every single ballroom in the place, I mean I’ve only seen themainballroom and…oww…oww! Stop, youmaniac!”
Nox tickledher until she couldn’t breathe from laughing, then they showered together and wandered down to hiskitchen.
“This looks familiar.” Livia grinned at him as she hopped up onto a seat at the breakfast bar. “Is this your main kitchen or do you have eleven smaller ones foreachmeal?”
“Funny girl,” Nick leaned over to kiss her. “No, just the one. It’s big enough to feed all seventeen ballroomsthough.”
Livia laughed. “CanIhelp?”
“Nope, let me feed you, woman. Grilledcheese?”
“Perfection.”
They chatted easily while he cooked, Livia admiring the way the muscles on his back flexed as he moved. He really was glorious. She adored the way his shaggy black curls fell around his head, the way his green eyes crinkled at the edges. She still couldn’t quite believe she was there, that they had just made love, and that it had been even better than she had dreamed. It seemed somehow surreal, and yet to be with Nox was so natural. Livia studied him with unashamed lust, and when he caught her eye, he pushed the pan to the back of the stove and cametoher.
“How,” he murmured, brushing his lips against hers, “am I supposed to concentrate on cooking while you look at me like that?” He stepped closer and pulled her legsaroundhim.
She was wearing his dress shirt—way too big for her, obviously—and he began to unbutton it, letting the fabric fall apart. He drew the pad of his thumb from her lips, down to her throat, between her breasts and down to her navel, making her shiver with desire. “You’re so beautiful,Livvy.”
God, this man… She pulled his lips back to hers then, as they kissed, freed his cock from his jeans. Nox, grinning, produced a condom from the back pocket. “Always beprepared.”
She laughed and rolled it onto him before guiding him inside her, moaning as he filled her entirely. “God,Nox…”
He thrust hard into her, supporting her with his strong arms as they fucked. Livia bit his chest, kissing his neck and throat, before Nox ground his mouth down on hers. “Livia…”
His cock reamed into her cunt so hard she thought she might slip from her position, and a second later they tumbled to the floor. Livia straddled him as they took each other to the edge of ecstasy all over again. Nox’s fingers gripped her hips, pressing into the soft flesh as she rocked above him, taking him as deep as shecould.
Livia came once then Nox flipped her onto her back and began to ram his hips as hard as he could, his cock growing harder and thicker, his hands pinning hers to the cool tile floor. Livia urged him on, coming again and again as he neared his peak. Finally, with a long moan, he came, shuddering and trembling, gasping for air. “God, Livia…can we just do that allthetime?”
“No complaints here.” She grinned at him as he laughed, kissing hertenderly.
The grilled cheesewas unsalvageable so Nox made fresh sandwiches and they both ate as if they were starving. “It’s all the energy we used up,” Livia said, nodding her head wisely and making him laugh. “Don’t mock, it’s fact that sex uses up four-point-six megatons of kilojoule energy for everyorgasm.”
“Youjustmadethatup.”
“Alright I did, butstill.”
“Lunatic.”
She stroked his face. “You’regorgeous.”
He smirked. “Oh, I know.” And he strutted around like a peacock, making hergiggle.
“What wasthat?Mick Jagger crossed with achicken?”
Nox gave up his comic strut. “Buzzkill.”
