She hesitates but finally obeys. I coast my hands over the dip in her waist and up to cup her breasts. I trace her brown nipples and the shiny silver piercings that intersect them with my thumb, enjoying the way she gasps. “Do they still hurt?”
“Sometimes.” She meets my gaze. “I like it.”
“I’m not surprised.” I lean down and take one nipple into my mouth. She bucks under me but manages to keep her hands on the headboard. I take my time, teasing and licking my way over the curve of her right breast to her left. I have a meeting later this morning, but I can’t quite bring myself to rush this.
I lightly rake my nails over her ribs, watching her stomach hollow as she gasps. She’s squirming under my gaze, her hips restless on the mattress. I drag a single finger up the center of her pussy, nearly moaning when I find her soaked, and stop just above her clit. “If you were mine, I’d command you to pierce this, too.”
Her eyes go wide, but I don’t give her a chance to respond. I slide down her body and kiss her pussy. Gods, this woman’s taste. It drives me crazy. I can’t get enough of her, something that would worry me if I hadn’t already decided to find a way to keep her. I dip my tongue into her and then move up to tease her clit.
Aurora makes a keening sound. “I’m close, Mistress.”
I lift my head. “Already?”
She glares at the ceiling, when I know she wants to glare at me. “I’m very horny in the morning, Mistress.”
“Brat,” I murmur. I exhale over her clit, making goose bumps rise in a wave over her skin. “If that’s so, I can always stop and wait for you to spontaneously orgasm from this morning’s horniness.”
She clenches her jaw, and for a moment, I think she might actually agree out of spite. Finally, Aurora shakes her head. “Please keep going.”
“So polite when you want something.”
“Isn’t everyone?”
“No.” I go back to what I was doing. I should wait, should tease this out, but she’s too damn sweet. “You have permission to orgasm.” I want her to come, and I want to be the cause. I want… Fuck, I just want. There are so many sins one could lay at my feet, if I believed in that sort of thing. Lust. Pride. Greed drowns them all. It’s what drove me from Sabine Valley when I could no longer contain my desire to rule. It’s what built me an empire within Carver City, what made me arguably the most powerful territory leader, short of Hades. I don’t know that I’ve ever looked at a person and had that same greed flicker to life, the all-consuming urge to possess them in every way possible.
Not until Aurora.
Her whole body goes tense as pleasure takes her, pleasure that I’ve dealt. I draw wave after wave out of her, teasing her to new heights, until she collapses back to the mattress, a fine sheen of sweat coating her skin.
I lick my lips and sit up. Yes, I could get used to a sated and spent Aurora in my bed. It’s just as pleasing a sight as the warm and cuddly version I received upon waking.
She blinks up at me. “Malone?”
“Yes?”
Gods, the way she looks at me when she forgets herself. As if she wants to taste every part of me, as if she wants me exactly as much as I want her. She’s too drunk on lust to keep her impressive walls in place, and I luxuriate in the knowledge that I’m the one who got her there.
Finally, Aurora says, “I would very much like you to sit on my face. Right now.”
I don’t point out that she’s edging far too close to a command. Not when I want this as much as she apparently does. Not when her wanting it makes it that much hotter. Instead, I climb up her body and carefully arrange myself astride her face. The grin she gives me feels like a kick in the ribs. And then there’s no more space for thinking because she grips my hips and lifts her head to lick my pussy.
I brace my hands on the wall and stare down my body at her. She’s got her eyes closed, as lost in this moment as I’m in danger of being. Gods, it feels good. She explores me with her mouth, intent on devouring every bit of the desire spawned from when I tasted her.
Belatedly, I realize that I’ve relinquished control. I start to lean back, to say something to bring the situation to heel again, but Aurora sucks hard on my clit, and a moan springs free from my lips. I rock against her mouth, enjoying the slick slide of her tongue, the pleasure coursing through me.
