Page 97 of Their Pretty Little Monster

“And if I decide not to return?” He’s using that sexy tone that has me squeezing my thighs together.

I lean in. “Well then, I guess I’ll have to send out a search party and drag you back fast. I know you use the pond in the village to summon the portal! And I know the two Shadowfen who can operate them.” I raise an eyebrow, challenging him.

A slow grin spreads across his face, his eyes glinting. He leans in, his masculine scent with a hint of fresh wood and the sea washing over me.

He smells so sexy…

“Why would I run when I have someone so captivating to come back to?” His husky whisper stirs something wild inside me, making my nipples harden, and the ache in the pit of my stomach awakens.

I blush but hold his gaze, the air between us electric. I have my hand on his chest, not even remembering putting it there.

“Sounds like you’ve got it all worked out,” I whisper.

“You have no idea,” he purrs, his mouth on my neck, taking a sharp inhale. “I can almost taste your arousal, and it’s fucking intoxicating.”

I breathe heavily as his hand slides up my thigh and up my skirt. His hands are on fire.

“Tell me to stop,” he murmurs before his tongue loops my earlobe into his mouth, his fingers inching up. “Open up for me,” he demands in a voice that has me doing exactly that.

I shouldn’t, but I’m weak when it comes to him.

Fingers graze me right where I’m purring.

“Killian,” I whisper. “Not here.”

But he’s already slipped a finger between my wet lips, pushing deeper, finding my entrance so fast that I’m panting.

“I’ll stop when you tell me to.” His tongue is on my neck again, my whole body engulfed by him curling around me, his finger working into me.

“Oh, Killian.” I breathe the words, my body quivering, stomach tightening. How in the world did we get to this stage in the middle of a busy room? My body seems to have already made a decision before my mind can catch up.

His assertiveness, bringing me to such a fast high, has me rocking my pelvis with each plunge. Every instinct is telling me to stop… but I just can’t bring myself to say the word when I’m buzzing, the sensation so tight I’m about to explode.

“Fuck,” he growls in my ear, that rich sound winding through me, going right down to my core.

My pulse flares between my thighs where he’s pressing his thumb against my clit, rubbing me and sending me straight over the edge.

I buck in my seat, shuddering, my climax hitting me so fast it vibrates savagely through me.

Those sensuous lips are on my mouth, stealing my moans, inhaling my breaths. He never once relents from fingering me until I’m completely undone, having come all over his hand.

I’m flushed from head to toe, my heartbeat echoing loudly in my ears.

“Absolutely beautiful,” Killian murmurs, his breath still warm against my skin as he pulls his finger out and straightens his back.

I pat down my skirt, ensuring it’s covering my legs. When I lift my gaze, I catch the waitress standing across the table, staring at us with a wide, venomous stare. My cheeks heat up further, if possible, and I don’t know where to look—away from her glaring scrutiny or back at Killian, who seems utterly unfazed by the interruption.

“We’re done here. You can clear the dishes,” he instructs her casually, dismissing her with a wave of his hand before his intense gaze locks back on to mine.

The waitress moves stiffly to clean the table, her attention swinging between us one last time before she retreats. I sit there, feeling embarrassed and still on my high.

“She… she saw that, didn’t she?” I whisper, hardly believing the situation.

“Of course she did.” He gives a nonchalant shrug. “And now she knows you’re with me and will back off.”

“Wait, you did that on purpose? For her to see us?”

“I had to show her I was taken.” His smirk grows, a devilish gleam twinkling in his gaze. “Female Shadowfen are super territorial once they set their sights on a male. And yes, I might have wanted to mark my territory a bit by showing her I’ve claimed you, too.”
