He sagged forward, puffing lightly. "Shit, that was good. Better than good."
I uncurled my hand from him. My fingers were coated with his release, thick and warm.
"You did that to me," he said softly. "Just looking at you makes me want to come. You let me do that and I thank you. No one ever got me off that hard before. I bet your pussy is even better."
My pussy pulsed in response to his touch, his orgasm, my power over his body. I'd never felt anything like it before. I felt more powerful than I had when I killed that woman.
I looked up at him, raised my hand to my mouth and started to lick my fingers clean.
Gianni's eyes widened. "Just when I think you couldn't get any hotter, you fucking do. One day, I'm going to come in your mouth and watch you swallow every drop, but this is almost as good. How do I taste?"
I hadn't reached my pointer finger yet. It was still covered in a thick layer of cum. I lifted it to his mouth and, when he opened for me, pressed my finger inside.
He closed his lips around and sucked. "Mmm, delicious," he said around my fingertip. "I taste good on your skin."
He sucked for a while longer before pulling his mouth back with a wet pop. "This just cements what I already knew. We belong together."
I was starting to think that too. I couldn't deny my attraction to him and Reuben, and my curiosity about Damon, but it went deeper than that. They seemed to understand me in a way no one else had before. They let me be me and take my time to settle back into life outside the cage. No coercion, no pressure, no judgement.
All of those were reasons I wasn't ready to see my family yet. Dane in particular would judge me for being here and probably try to manipulate the situation to benefit him in some way. He'd encourage my relationship with Reuben, but only because he'd hope to gain power for himself from it. He was always the most ambitious in our family. The one most likely to throw the rest of us under a bus if it helped him in some way.
I placed enough pressure on myself to put the past behind me without having someone like him making things more difficult.
"Those look like some deep thoughts," Gianni said. He'd pulled up his pants and fastened them, and was now looking at me like he wasn't sure if he should offer to get me off or not. He clearly wanted to, but would let me take the lead in that too.
"I was just thinking about my family," I said. Before he could respond, I stood on my toes and brushed my lips over his. He tasted of coffee and cum, with a touch of salt. A delicious combination.
He placed a hand on my upper arm and deepened the kiss in a way that let me pull away when I was ready. When his tongue pressed against my lips, I opened them to let him slide inside. Tentatively, I slid my tongue against his.
My body throbbing, I eventually drew back. "I've never been kissed like that before."
He smiled. "Neither have I. Your mouth is even more perfect than your hand."
I laughed softly. I wanted him to touch me more, but not yet. The huge steps I'd already taken were enough for now.
"We should get back to practising," I said. "You might be able to concentrate now."
He chuckled. "With you next to me, never."
CHAPTER 17
REUBEN
I stepped away from the window as Mina and Gianni resumed practising throwing knives. Her skill didn't surprise me. Watching her hand stroke Gianni's cock did. I'd watched as he thrust and came on her fingers, my cock aching to do the same.
"She's a distraction," Damon said.
I glanced over to him. "Perhaps. That changes nothing. I'm not sending her away."
"I didn't expect you would." He eyed the bulge in my trousers, which I was trying hard to ignore and deflate. I didn't look at his. I didn't need to; I knew it was there. We'd both watched.
"What do you expect then?" I walked past him to place my empty cup in the kitchen.
"I don't know. Since you found her, you've been obsessed with finding Kurt Lasalle. Killing him won't change what he did to her." Damon leaned his hip against the island and crossed his arms.
"It'll make me feel a whole fuck ton better. Knowing he's out there is pissing me off," I growled.
"Me too," he said easily. "I want to make an example of him as much as you do. He spent long enough going behind our back. It's past time he paid for that, regardless of what he did or didn't do to Mina."
