Page 16 of Hers to Rule

“I know, but seeing them on you still slays me.” His appreciative smile sparked her magic deep in her belly and made her try to get closer to him. He wrapped his arms around her and grabbed her ass, tugging her up so that her legs circled his waist.

He watched her in silence until she couldn’t take it anymore and leaned up to kiss him. He smiled against her mouth and let her have a rare moment of control where she kissed him exactly as she wanted. She started off gently, just barely pressing with her lips. Running her tongue along the seam of his lips, she shivered when he still didn’t take over. She pressed her tongue into his mouth. When she lifted herself to deepen the kiss, his hands roved her ass, but he still didn’t move to take control.

She pulled away reluctantly. “Are you punishing me for something?”

His eyes sparkled. “Quite the contrary. I’m your reward.”

She stared for a moment, trying to process what he meant. “What for?”

“You did everything I needed you to do today absolutely perfectly.” He kissed the tip of her nose. “You were right. I needed you to make this work. And it will work with your help.”

“And what’s my reward?”

“For tonight, I’ll do whatever you want. I’ll be whatever you need to thank you for being what I need.”

She ran her fingers through his hair, stroking his horns, as she thought for a few seconds. He watched her quietly, unperturbed. “What does Rio need?”

Cisco’s face softened. “To be cherished. Even though he doesn’t think he deserves it.”

The harsh inhale that came from where Rio sat was almost a sob.

Mari smiled, finally decided. “That’s what I want.”

Cisco stared like he couldn’t believe the words that were passing her lips. “You want for your reward to be giving Rio what he needs?”

“More than anything.”

“You are a treasure.” He leaned to kiss her softly. “Rio, get in bed.”

“Remember, no clothes allowed in my bed,” she said without looking away from Cisco when she heard Rio rise from the lounge.

“Yes, ma’am,” came the soft voice from behind her.

Cisco watched him disrobe quietly with a pensive expression and then nodded. He placed her on her feet gently, then leaned to remove her panties, dragging them slowly down her legs.

She giggled as he caressed her hip gently with his mouth.

Chapter 6

Mari felt Rio’s gaze, and she turned to look at him where he lay on the bed. It was getting easier for him to meet her eyes, and Mari enjoyed the slowly growing affection between them.

Cisco’s lips curled when she returned her attention to him. “Go help him get in the mood. I’ll be along shortly.”

She didn’t think Rio needed help in that department if his heavy-lidded gaze and even heavier cock was any indication. But she went to lie down next to him, taking his hand to pull him closer, until he was almost leaning over her, his large body looming over her in a way that made her throat tight. She continued to guide him, moving him over her until he hovered above her, only touching her exactly as much as was necessary to maintain the position.

She shifted under him, sliding her legs out to either side of him, the insides of her knees caressing his hips with the lightest touch. She pulled him down until he was not quite touching her, the strain in his arms obvious, but at the same time, it looked like he could wait there all day if that was what it took to please her.

After removing his clothes, Cisco crawled onto the bed next to them, but far enough away that neither of them could reach him easily, and watched them with a gentle expression. “He likes giving pleasure as much as getting it.”

Mari arched her back, rubbing her body on Rio’s, smiling at his harsh intake of breath as her power stretched to embrace him as well. Her nipples hardened as they scraped over his chest, and she allowed herself a murmur of pleasure that made his eyes widen as he watched her. She pulled his head down until her lips brushed his ear and whispered, “Pleasure me with your beautiful mouth.”

His groan was a rumble of assent and desire as he lowered his head to kiss the side of her neck. His mouth was hot and wet on her skin as he traveled downward, his lips never losing contact with her for a moment whether he was kissing or nibbling or licking along his slow path. His tongue was just the slightest bit rough, and her skin prickled with sensation at the touch of it. He paused briefly when he reached her collarbone, letting his teeth sharpen and nipping the sensitive skin there a few times until she jerked at the repeated stimulation.

Mari pushed at him playfully, urging him to move on. He grinned up at her, his eyes alight with mischief and a subtle golden sheen, but he submitted to her wishes and moved lower to lavish kisses on her right breast until she squirmed under him. She reached for him, catching her fingers in his hair as she tried to nudge him toward her nipple. He purred as he offered gentle resistance to her manipulation until he chuckled a few moments later and sucked her nipple between his lips, applying pressure light enough to only make her crave more rather than satisfying any need.

She murmured to him, tightening her grip on his hair, and he obliged by flicking his tongue over the hardened nub. She gasped at the rough contact. He increased the pressure until her toes curled and she felt herself arching up into him, desperate for more. Rather than give in, he switched to the other side, starting gently again and gradually increasing the stimulation until she was panting and her magic was straining inside her.

After what felt like an eternity of teasing, he bit down, making her entire body tense. The sound that escaped from her was a desperate plea for more, and he gave her exactly what she wanted, biting several times in quick succession until she felt like she was being turned inside out by his mouth.
