“But you wanted to taste me. What if I want to taste you?”
“Fuck, Blair.” I close my eyes because my cock jumps at her words. “How about I promise I will never deny you again? For anything. If you can give me this one concession?”
I’m amazing at reading what people are thinking and how our conversations are going to go, but I don’t have a damn clue right now.
Her hand lands flat on my chest. “If you can do one thing for me?”
“Anything.” And I know that it’s not an empty promise. Right now, I would do anything for her––take a kingdom, steal the moon, anything.
“Can we snuggle? Like big spoon and little spoon?”
I laugh. I’m ready to commit murder for the female and she wants me to touch her more. “Yes, Blair. Although my spoon happens to have a sharp tine in it right now.” We flip back to the headboard.
“That’s okay.” She rolls over, pushing her delectable ass into my groin. And now I’m groaning.
My lips find the crook of her neck again. “You’re not fighting fair, Blair.”
“All’s fair in... well, you know what they say.” She pulls on my arm, bringing our skin closer together.
“Yes, I believe I do know what they say.” I lay my head on the pillow.
It’s not long before Blair’s breathing changes, leading her into a deep sleep. But I’ve never been so awake. My head spins with all the things we need to do to make her ours. Every twitch she makes, every sigh or little snore, I’m committing to memory. Saving them for the hopefully short days that I’ll be without her.
When her skin chills, I move the blanket from the foot of the bed, covering us both.
I’m not sure when I fall asleep, but I certainly am never going to forget the sight of waking surrounded by three of Blair’s angry-looking nephews. Luckily, the second coming of Poseidon isn’t with them.
“Morning,” I say, covering up Blair’s bare shoulder.
“We’re going to give you ten minutes to get out,” Castor says.
I haven’t moved my arm from where it’s been around Blair all night.
“Grayson left clothes. Put them on.” Holter tosses them onto the bed behind me. I feel Blair wake under my fingertips.
“I will. Now get out.” My chin is raised at the three of them.
The door clicks shut, and Blair rolls onto her back. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to get you into trouble.” She sucks her lips into her mouth.
“With those three podlets? Trouble. That’s nothing. I’ll be fine, Blue.” I search her sleepy morning eyes. For what, I’m not sure. Shame, regret. But I find neither.
“Podlets? I... I don’t think they’ve been called that in a long time.”
“I suppose so, but that’s what they are to me.” I can’t help myself. I kiss the top of her nose.
“Blue?”
“You have the most amazing blue eyes. How did you sleep?”
“Amazing. I’m not sure the last time I slept that well. Maybe never.” She laughs and sits up, pulling the blanket with her, keeping her amazing breasts out of my sight. But my hand hasjust been resting on one. I tug the cover down, kiss each one, and then hold the back of her head and kiss her for as long as I think I can before the lot of them come storming back in. She’s smiling when we break apart. I tuck my hard cock into the trousers and pull on the tunic. “I’m glad,” I tell her.
“How’s your leg?”
“Right as the tide. But maybe you should come check on me later this week?”
“I... I’d like that. They’re a little protective of us going out and about.”
“They might be podlets, but they’re smart. You need to be protected in the Veiled City, Blair. There are a lot of things out there that aren’t safe.” I lean over her and give her one more kiss. “I’m going to go before they throw a tantrum and need a nap.” I wave to her from the door and run the gauntlet of nephews in the corridor.
