She loops her hands around my neck. “Holloway looks beautiful. Was it like this when you were growing up?”

I pull her closer. “No, when my mother inherited Holloway, we were living in Islington. She used to take us here during the summers until the roof caved in. It was her dream to restore it, but she died before she had the chance.”

Aelin’s smile drops and she touches my cheek. “Oh, Gabe, I’m sorry.”

The softness of her eyes and the tenderness of her touch spreads warmth through my chest. “Thank you, baby. She would have loved what you’ve done with it.”

Tears brim in her eyes. “Baby…”

Cupping my cheek, she touches her lips to mine. “This is the best compliment I could ever dream of.” Another brush of her lips. “Thank you.”

Need claws through me, and I take her mouth. When she makes that sound at the back of her throat, I lower the straps of her dress and dip my open mouth on her breast.Damn, she tastes good.I suck on her nipple and lash my tongue on the erect bud.

Her back arches. “Yes.” She hisses low.

Drawing harder on the tight buds, I groan when she fists my cock through the soft material of my shorts and proceeds to make me crazy by torquing both hands up and down.

I reach for the drawer of the side table for a rubber—I put a couple of boxes in every room—I toss on the bed while Aelin pushes on her knees to swoop her dress off. Her hair tumbles over her shoulders, she smiles and curls her arms around my nape.

“Can I ask you something?”

Anything.“You’re naked sitting on my cock, so yes.” I band my arms around her to feel her soft skin on mine. “What do you want, baby?”

My gorgeous woman leans slightly back while her face flushes, and I can’t help but smile.

“Aelin?”

The flush of her face deepens as she clears her throat. “Can I put the condom on you?”

What?I stare at her beautiful face for a second. “What?”

Her eyes dip, and she bites on her bottom lip. “Is it weird? It’s just … it’s so sexy when you do it, and—”

I grab her hips to roll them on my cock and groan at the feel of her warm weight. “Baby, you can play with my cock anytime and anyway you want.”

“Really?”

In response, I snatch the square silver packet, and with my eyes in hers, tear off the foil with my teeth before handing her the rubber. Then, I lie back on the cushions with my hands folded at the back of my head to enjoy the sexy-as-fuck show.

Four disregarded rubbers later, I swipe my hand over my face and grit my teeth. She’s been playing with my cock for what feels like hours, wearing only those tiny panties.Fuck.There’s only so much I can take.

I brace on my elbows. “Let me do it, baby.”I’m about to come in your hands.

Her hands curled around my now throbbing cock, Aelin lifts her dimpled, stubborn chin. “Are you sure they’re the right size?”

A chuckle bursts out of my chest, but when Aelin emits the cutest growl and glowers at me, I clamp my mouth shut.

Settling her plump ass on my thighs, she pouts. “Fine.”

When was the last time I had so much fun?I wrap her in my arms and look at her grin.

After curling her arms around my neck, Aelin plants a too-short kiss on my mouth. “It’s your fault, you know.”

I chortle. “How do you figure?”

Aelin narrows her eyes on the rubbers on the side table. “You’re not a banana.”

So damn cute. And crazy.I clear my throat. “A banana?”
