“You look fucking perfect in my bed, Wife.”

Heat flares inside me. I love it when he calls me Wife.

Like he’s proud of me. Proud to call me his.

I want him to be, I realize. I crave it. His approval. His desire. It’s better than chocolate.

He has an ice bucket in his big, inked up hands and his lips tilt up in a wicked grin.

“You said you were hot in the car. I came to cool you off, Rosebud.”

Excitement rushes through my veins like water through a newly broken dam.

“I do feel really hot,” I whisper.

Holy. Shit.

Nico looks like some kind of ancient warrior, or a demigod. His entire body bristles with energy and muted strength.

I wish I could be strong like him.

He lifts an ice cube in one hand, taking my foot off the bed with the other. His stunning blue eyes find mine, and he slides the cold little block up my leg, starting at my ankle.

I gasp at the chill tingling along my skin.

Then I moan at the heat filling me because of it.

He hums deep in his chest. It’s a sound I like. One of approval.

Nico sets the bucket down. But I can see another ice cube in his hand. He takes that one, kneeling between my legs, and he rubs it up my other leg.

“So hot. Aren’t you, Little Mama?”

“Yes, Nico,” I whimper.

He’s teasing my inner thighs with cold fingertips, and I wonder if both ice cubes are already melted.

“Are you hot here?” he asks, and he coasts his icy fingers over my pussy.

“Oh God,” I moan, lifting my hips, but he pulls back.

“Not God, Rosebud. Who am I?”

“Nico. You’re my Nico.”

“That’s right. I’m yours.”

He reaches down and comes up with another ice cube. This time, he puts it in his mouth, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

I want to beg him to touch me. But I don’t have to.

He’s already bending down, his gigantic hands wrap around my thighs, pressing me open, then I feel it. The ice cube in his mouth. He slides it up and down my slit with his tongue, teasing my clit, dragging it down to my asshole.

Then he growls.

Like a beast. Nico is between my thighs, and he literally rumbles with his mouth on my pussy.

And it’s like, it’s so good.
