“You heard me,” I said with a mischievous smirk. “Get naked. Right now.”
He quietly laughed, his eyes shining with humor. “Are you sure?”
“Very, very sure.” I tugged on the bottom of his shirt, then grinned when he finally let me pull it over his head. I wet my lips as I took in the sight of all that lovely pale and muscled flesh. The man was a work of art, one I knew I would never grow tired of looking at. Appreciating. Devouring.
I ran my nails up his back, delighting in his shuddering response. Once I reached his shoulders, I ran my hands back down his back, but this time, I slid them beneath the waist of his pants and stroked the curve of his ass. I moved to his front, popped open his fly, then delved inside, stroking his already hard length. With a groan, he lowered his head, his hair tickling my throat.
“Pretty sure I said to get naked,” I said in a husky voice.
“Little busy right now, luv,” he retorted.
“Oh, well then. Perhaps I should stop?” I loosened my grip and was about to withdraw when one of his hands clasped my wrist, stilling me.
He lifted his head, his eyes narrowed playfully. “Don’t you dare,” he growled.
A wicked grin curled my lips. “Then. Get. Naked.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
He released my hands, then quickly divested himself of the rest of his clothes. He’d barely removed his socks before his mouth once again found mine, this time hungry and demanding. Passion flared within me, and I wrapped my legs around his bare waist, pulling his hips toward me.
“This would work better,” he said between kisses, “if you were also naked.”
“It would, wouldn’t it?” I teased, breathing heavily.
“Care to join me on the wild side, luv?” he asked.
I unhooked my legs and practically ripped off my pajamas with Gabriel’s very enthusiastic help. Jaden had gone for comfort over appearance, but right now, I hardly cared. Who needed sexy undergarments anyway when naked was so much better?
The instant my bare skin touched his, I sighed happily, a sound Gabriel clearly hadn’t missed from the look of his smirk. A smirk I soon lost sight of when he suddenly dipped between my legs. I barely had a chance to suck in a breath before his mouth found its mark, and he immediately began devouring me. I bit back a surprised cry, remembering that we were a guest in Sam’s sister’s house. We certainly didn’t need to wake anyone with our sexual shenanigans. Gabriel’s fangs brushed my clit and ecstasy jolted through me like a bolt of lightning.
I plunged my fingers into his hair and whimpered his name as a sudden orgasm ripped through me. My hips arched off the bed, and I clamped my mouth shut to keep from crying out. He didn’t stop though. Instead, he slipped a finger inside me, then another, and continued pleasuring me with his mouth until I climaxed a second time.
I was still panting for breath when Gabriel prowled up the length of my body. One quick thrust, and he slid inside me with perfect ease, seating himself fully. Usually, it took us longer to get to this point, but with everything that had happened recently, I felt this undeniable need to feel Gabriel inside me. A need he clearly shared.
Once again, I locked my legs around his hips, then I pressed my hands against the headboard and held on for dear life as he started moving. But there was something else I wanted this time. Something that until now, I’d feared. I didn’t fear it anymore though.
Removing one hand from the headboard, I swept my hair to the side and bared my neck to him.
Gabriel froze mid-thrust, his eyes widening, first in shock, then darkening with arousal. I could practically taste how badly he wanted this, but he’d never pushed me.
“Maddie…”
I caught my breath, then met his gaze and nodded. “I’ve been thinking about it a lot,” I admitted. “And I know I want this. I want to do this for you. You’ve bitten me once already, so what’s one more time?”
“That was different,” he said, his voice raspy. His hands clenched in the blankets, telling me just how badly he wanted this. And I wanted to give it to him.
“Thisisdifferent,” I agreed. “And that’s why I want to do it. I want you to show me what it’s like. What it means to be partnered with a vampire. I don’t want to hold you back, or make you feel like you’ve lost a part of yourself.”
“I’ve never felt that way,” he argued.
“Good.” I gave a dopey grin, the endorphins still flooding my body. “But that doesn’t change anything. Iwantyou to bite me, Gabriel.”
He studied my face, likely trying to ensure the massive flood of dopamine he’d just unleashed in my body hadn’t addled my brain.
“It’ll be different this time,” he warned. “Far more potent. When you fed me your blood, I was out of my mind, my body riddled with holy water. I couldn’t make it pleasurable for you. It won’t be that way this time.”
My body instinctively shivered with anticipation, and my inner walls tightened around Gabriel’s cock. His eyes shuttered, and he groaned.
