“You're adorable when you're concentrating,” I whispered.
“You're supposed to be paying attention to our sandwiches. Don't let mine burn!”
Chuckling, I refocused on my task. After the last one was golden brown, I placed two sandwiches on each plate and retrieved bowls for the soup. Anevae took them from me and poured a ladle full in each bowl.
When everything was plated, we sat in silence and ate. After eating my last bit of food, I pushed my dishes forward slightly, then put my chin in my hand and watched Anevae.
“What would you like to do for the rest of the day?” I asked quietly.
“I'm not sure. I'd love to start more of my experiments in the greenhouse, but I don't have to now. I already wrote down the important stuff for the one I started outside, so I won't have to worry about that until I check everything in the next few days. What would you like to do?”
“I'll do anything as long as it means being with you. I'd just rather stay inside. I think we're going to get some rain later. The sky was looking a little dark when I got back,” I lied.
“Well, come help me in the greenhouse, and then maybe we can come back inside and watch some more movies.”
“Sounds like a plan. Let's clean up these dishes first.”
Chapter nineteen
Anevae
Maeyve and I watched movie after movie until we couldn’t keep our eyes open anymore. We climbed into bed around 11 p.m., sleeping with our limbs tangled together as if we couldn’t bear the thought of being separated. The next morning, I awoke wrapped up in her arms. Sighing, I snuggled in and closed my eyes, soaking up the moment. I felt safe, and it was refreshing.
After lying there for a few more minutes, I got up to use the bathroom. As I stood there, washing my hands and preparing to wash my face, Maeyve snuck up behind me and wrapped her hands around my waist.
Leaning down, she placed a kiss on my neck. “Good morning, beautiful,” she whispered in my ear before nipping at the lobe.
Giggling, I wiped my hands dry and turned to plant a kiss on her lips. “Good morning, gorgeous. How did you sleep?”
“Sleeping next to you is a dream come true. I haven’t slept this well in years. You might not be able to get rid of me now.”
Grinning at her reflection in the mirror, I responded honestly, “I might enjoy that, actually.”
Scoffing, she turned me to face her. “We’ll have to see how much you actually enjoy me always bugging you. If you’re not careful, you’ll never finish any of your work.”
Placing a hand on her chest, I smirked. “Lucky for you, plants take time to grow, so I have some free time on my hands.”
“I can think of a few ways for us to use up some of that free time,” she murmured before drawing her bottom lip into her mouth and biting down with one of her pronounced canines. Desire flooded my veins, and a throbbing began in my core.
“Now I’m intrigued. Why don’t you show me? I think I have a little time to spare right now,” I whispered, looking up at her through my lashes.
The next thing I knew, Maeyve had lifted me off my feet, positioning her hands perfectly under my ass. Instinctively, I wrapped my legs around her waist and my hands around her neck, tangling in her soft hair. Our lips collided as she turned back to the bedroom. I let out a soft moan as her hands gripped my ass tightly. With my lips slightly parted, she slipped her tongue into my mouth, exploring it.
When we reached the bed, she climbed onto it and laid me down gently, resting my head on the pillows. She trailed kisses across my jaw and down to my neck, stopping to bite me lightly. As she made her way down, her body grazed against my hardened nipples, and I grabbed onto her shoulders. When she reached my chest, she slid my camisole down to expose my breasts. Palming one, she licked at the nipple of the other. Soft moans escaped my lips as she began to move her tongue in slow circles around the stiff peak and piercing that adorned it. Looking up at me through her lashes, I could see the mischievous glint in her eyes. She lapped up the saliva that had collected on my nipple before sucking my hardened peak into her mouth and biting down. I let out a yelp followed by another moan as white spots dotted my vision. Slowly, her teeth grazed down my nipple until they reached the piercing, and she let go.
Raising onto her elbows again, she glanced down at my nipple. Quietly, she mumbled, “Oops. I’m sorry. Does that hurt?”
Panting from the desire coursing through my body, I replied, “Why are you sorry? That felt amazing.”
I followed Maeyve’s gaze to my breast, where there was blood pooling around my nipple. Not sure where it was coming from, I raised my hand to wipe away the blood. Maeyve grasped my hand and pulled it away before lowering her mouth back down to my breast.
She licked up the blood and moaned. As soon as her head lifted, I saw two faint scratches from her teeth. Surprised, I looked back up to Maeyve, meeting her gaze. Her eyes had darkened, and desire surged through my body. Her mouth returned to my breast, sucking my nipple into her mouth again. I let out a loud moan and gripped her shoulder tighter with my free hand.
Releasing my nipple with a pop, she sat up on her knees and trailed her eyes over my body. Humming, she ran her hands up the outsides of my thighs and gripped my shorts, pulling them off with my underwear. Then, she reached for my hand, urging me to sit up so she could pull off my camisole.
Glancing back into my eyes, she whispered, “You’re so beautiful. I could tell you every moment of every day, and that still wouldn’t be enough to express just how beautiful you are.”
Blushing, I whispered, “You’re too sweet.”
