I pry his hand off the bow, but there’s this intense flutter in my chest and a tightness in my throat as I say, “You’re being ridiculous.”

He slides the other hand around my waist and pulls me tighter against himself, making me lose my breath when I feel the hardness of his muscles. His eyes narrowing, he throws me a little smirk before he whispers, “Oh I think I know when I’m being ridiculous and this isnotit, please and thank you.”

I roll my eyes, but I’m burning up and my voice is breathless when I say, “Well, you’re an idiot either way.”

There’s a flash of hunger in his eyes. “ThatI am.”

And my eyes dart to his lips, and he catches the glance and moves to kiss me on the mouth.

That snaps me out of it and I turn my face away from his, feeling his lips brush my cheek. “Nope,” I say with a breathy laugh, realizing what I was about to let happen. “Nospontaneous meetups. Those are the rules.” And I try to pull away.

He doesn’t let me. “It’s not spontaneous at all,” he protests with such conviction in his husky voice. “Itoldyou I’d be seeing you tonight, now didn’t I?”

And he moves for my neck this time, his breath stroking my skin as he murmurs, “Choosing not to believe me, that’s onyou.”

Well… How can I argue withthat?

It makes me suck in a sharp breath when he takes a little bite out of my neck. My body tingling with desire, I let him untie the bow with a swift movement of one hand.

I feel the corset loosening, but it’s the very next moment that he gives its bottom a sharp tug with both hands, arms wrapping tightly around me as the mouth finds its way to my left breast and closes around it, the tongue starting to tease my nipple in the most delicious way imaginable.

My breathing turns ragged and my eyes close. “Mmm,” I hum as I grab onto his shoulders, tightly.

At that, he lets out a little groan, one hand flying to my ass and making me go all wet, dying to get his tongue someplace else.

Fuck. I guess I’m doing this, I think to myself, my mind already going blank with desire. And if I am…

I squirm to pull away, making him look up at me with glazed eyes and a frown.

“On your knees,” I tell him, and it makes me lose my breath, when I see the look in his eyes become even more intense and he starts lowering himself to the ground without taking them off me.

Guess it won’t be such a bad birthday after all, I think as I listen to the rustling of my dress as he gets under it.

It makes my spine arch, when I feel the hands stroke my thighs and close around my ass. But it’s the anticipation alone that sends my heart racing even before I feel that deft, deft tongue on my aching, aching clit.

Chapter 22 - Dahrian

I’mstillpanting,butas soon as I finish, she starts pushing me out of her, her legs still wrapped around me as I hold her pinned to the tree with my forehead resting on her temple. And I get myself out, but I don’t let her down. And I give her zero time to snap out of it, immediately starting to bite her neck and squeeze her where she likes to be squeezed, to distract her from what I’m about to do.

Swallowing roughly, I sneak a hand between us and I start using my thumb to rub her, excitement flooding me when I hear her breathing start getting heavy again.

Fuck. Is this actually happening?

Her smell in my nose and her taste in my mouth, I keep working her with my fingers, listening to her panting turning into moaning and feeling my dick start throbbing again.

There’s one long, delicious moment of this before my fox’s ears prick up.

The next thing I know, there’s a familiar voice calling, “Nyx.”

“Quick,” I hear her say, panic in her voice. I have to fight not to let out a frustrated groan as she squirms to get me off her. “That’s Hilde.”

No shit, I drawl to myself as I help get her down.

As usual, you can’t even get fifteen minutes alone with this girl.

But I keep my mouth shut, zipping my pants up, sliding my hands into my pockets and proceeding to watch the jumpy little rabbit struggle to get her elaborate dress in order.

“Need any help?” I ask, my mouth curling into a smile.
