This female makes it hard to restrain myself.

Chapter 9

Kendra

The bed is comfortable and it’s warm under the blanket. It’s not the bed in my home, but I can tolerate it. It will be a lot better than sleeping on the floor or the chair at the driving dashboard. I like the warmth...

Wait... The warmth is moving. That’s not supposed to be the case.

Is that Grihul, the super annoying thing next to—

I open my eyes to find his gaze on me. He stares at me as if I’ve grown another head or something. I sneer at him. “What are you looking at?”

He rolls his eyes. “Maybe look at something that matters before you shout at me.”

“What do you mean?”

He moves and... points at his chest. “This.” He lifts the blanket with his other hand. “I’ve been keeping my hands to myself, but what are you doing?”

I suck in an abrupt breath when... Turns out the pleasant warmth is there because I wrapped my arms around him. I pull back at once with my cheeks burning even hotter. “Well... I used to hug my plush toy when I was at home.”

“Are you saying that I’m a toy?”

Fuck... The way he says it... “No, you aren’t a toy. I just...”

I pull my hands back and roll around to stare at the ceiling. He isn’t smiling, but I bet he is laughing at me.

He let out a hoarse breath. “You’ve enjoyed your time grinding against me.”

Did I?

He continues, “I wonder what kind of plush toy you have at your place. If there’s even one.”

My cheeks burn even hotter. “It is a big plush bear...” There are times I throw my leg around the bear too, but that’s just to get a good hug of the bear as I sleep... I like to hold onto something when I sleep and that’s all about it. Maybe I rolled around in my sleep and grabbed Grihul because of habit...

I sneer at him. “It has nothing to do with you. I’m not used to having another being on my... I mean, on the bed.”

He sucks in a breath. “I can’t even figure out whether you’re serious about that. I was sleeping well despite another being on my bed, but then you wrapped your hands around me and kept rubbing.... Well...”

Fuck, no! There’s no way I’d be rubbing his cock with my leg... I...

“Stop making things up. That didn’t happen.”

“Why would I make that up? You just made it hard to control myself. Do you know how much I’ve wanted to pin you down and... I mean, I don’t mean to hurt you or make you uncomfortable, but if you throw your body all over me, it’s hard not to think about things.”

My heart races and my cheeks are burning hot by now. Did I really mistake him for my plush toy when...

Oh, fuck... Now that I peek, even the blanket doesn’t hide his erection. I swallow with my throat dry. He has a monster hiding in his pants. I’m going to be dead if I try to take that on...

He clears his throat. “Where are you looking? I’m trying to control myself.”

“What’s in your head? Thinking about getting me naked?”

His body tenses and he lets out a heavy breath. “Seriously?”

I know I probably shouldn’t, but...
